We know you've been playing a lot of Skyrim lately, and we think it's time you took a break. Go outside, grab a bite, call your girlfriend. Or, better yet, play a different Elder Scrolls game: Morrowind. Because thanks to the work of one of the most thriving mod communities around, The Elder Scrolls 3 now looks just as beautiful as its successor, Skyrim.

Considering it came out ten years ago, Morrowind holds up really well for RPG fans. Once you get past the first few hours it starts to really shine, and you'll find it actually affords players a great deal more freedom than Skyrim does. Check out the video above for a tour of the land of Vvardenfell and a demonstration of the new graphics—you might even see something you recognize. You can download the compilation of mods, dubbed "Morrowind Overhaul: Sounds and Graphics 2.0", right here, and be sure to thank them while you're at it.

Do you ever feel like revisiting old classics like Morrowind? How do you think it stacks up to Skyrim after this much time? Let us know in the comments or on Facebook or Twitter.
