morrowind mod jvk1166z.esp ☹

The Elders Scrolls 3: Morrowind is an expansive RPG and to this day is considered to be the best game in the Elder Scrolls series by a lot of fans. It has an expansive online community where users mod the game to add custom quests, characters, weapons and armor. Legend has it that there is a very creepy and sinister mod to Morrowind that exists that could potentially drive a player insane.

The mod first popped up on the internet a couple of years ago and was originally thought to be a virus as when you loaded the game with the mod your game would freeze on the title screen and corrupt all the save game files essentially ruining the game.

However, it was soon discovered that if you ran the game in DOSbox, software that allows gamers to play older PC games on their modern computers, the game would work. When the player starts the game with the mod all the main characters in the game are already dead. Also, if you stay in one spot for too long your health would slowly begin to deplete. If you died from standing still too long a new character would reveal himself.

Players took to calling him the assassin. He appeared to be a man except his legs and arms were long and bent like a spider. Players began to notice that if you paid close attention the player could see the assassin around corners or scurrying up the walls, but only for brief moments. Another creepy element added to the game was all the characters left living would come outside at night and just stand there.

When a player would attempt to interact with one of the characters they would simply say "Watch the sky." A new dungeon was also discovered. Inside the dungeon was what players called the "hall of portraits." The hall was lined with picture frames inside the frames were photos from the player's My Pictures folder. At the end of the hall was a locked door. No one has ever posted proof that they figured out how to open the door, but there are some unbelievable stories of players obsessed with trying to open it, playing the modded game for days straight with very little sleep.

Some claim after long hours of playing they began to hallucinate seeing the assassin in real life quickly crawling on their bedroom ceilings or down their hallways as they took a bathroom break from the game.

As fantastic as this story sounds, the creepiest part is that this mod does in fact seem to exist, but download it at your own risk.
