The update weighs 9.7 GB, and is available on the Public Test Server as we speak. Everyone who decides to join this PTS cycle will have to accept an NDA, but only a select few will get to explore the Vvardenfell landmass – the biggest addition yet. If you’ve received a beta invite, make sure you talk about it only in the designated forum – anything else is considered breaking the NDA, and can get your account suspended. There’s no way to sign up for the invite, so you’ll just have to wait and hope to receive one. Participants in previous tests seem to have a better chance of getting in, though.
Can you please differentiate between what will be available to people who only own the Base Game and those who purchase Morrowind please? I checked the forms and the patch notes on there say nothing at all. Thanks.
Well, the forum thread was our source for this post, so if you’ve looked it over, you probably know as much as we do. I think everything that doesn’t fall under the Morrowind subheading in the contents will be available without buying Morrowind, but there’s no way to be sure.
