Books:The Morrowind Prophecies
< Books(Redirected from Books:The Morrowind Prophecies: Game of the Year Edition)The Morrowind Prophecies is the official strategy guide for Morrowind, written by Peter Olafson and published by Bethesda Softworks. Traditionally, strategy guides were outsourced to third party companies such as Prima Games, however, Bethesda decided to publish the guide in-house with the help of game journalist Pete Olafson.
There are two editions of the guide; the original covers only Morrowind, while the Game of the Year edition has new sections on its expansion packs, Tribunal and Bloodmoon. A digital scan of the GotY edition comes with the GOG release of Morrowind.
