Characters, plots, buildings.hell, entire towns have been created. Yes, along with two successful expansions ( Tribunal and Bloodmoon), the game has the most burgeoning mod scene of pretty much any game known.

The game is massive and thanks to the add-on content, it gets bigger every day.Īh, yes, about that add-on content getting bigger. Well, of course there's more to it than that - Morrowind is what many consider to be the pinnacle of "your own little world," filled with plots, sub-plots, sub-plots of the sub-plots, and a few million random things to go do that are just plain cool. If you're not familiar with the concepts of Morrowind (or any other Elder Scrolls game), allow me to enlighten you. In particular, it's about impossible not to include Morrowind, Bethesda's third piece in the series. Granted, that doesn't necessarily mean that an ES game belongs on everybody's list.but when that list is about communities making a game last for years and years, it's hard not to include one. You don't have to read very far back on this site to find that I'm an Elder Scrolls fan.

We'd tell you, but that would be spoiling the number one most moddable game of all time.and we wouldn't want that, would we? But if you still need another reason why Quake belongs here, you need only look at what used its engine. Release of the source code under the GPL in 1998 has only helped maintain the popularity of the game, which is still widely played.

Along with Team Fortress, Quake spawned another few "firsts" that we see in popular gaming today, including Capture the Flag and Rocket Arena. Released as freeware, it took the world of Quake players by storm with its blend of classes, teamwork and live ammunition. Team Fortress dropped on the scene in 1996 as one of the most popular multiplayer add-ons ever. Team Fortress - the original is still the best.
