If you want to head straight to the large, snow-covered island of Solstheim, featured in the Bloodmoon expansion, go right ahead.

Not that Morrowind stops you from trying to get to the new material before you're ready for it. As these players would expect, saved game data can be transfered over from the original game to Morrowind Game of the Year Edition.

The new content is also more challenging, since it's intended for those who finished the main quest of the original game. Much of this content is marginally better than that of the original Morrowind-the quests are more complex, the dungeon crawls are longer, and so on. The back of the box touts "100+ hours" of new gameplay, and that's an accurate assessment of what these expansions have to offer. These were both published in the past 12 months, and each in turn offered an appreciable amount of new territory to explore, new quests to undertake, new weapons and equipment to find and use, new enemies to fight, and more. Specifically, Morrowind Game of the Year Edition includes the 200-odd hours' worth of content from the mid-2002 release of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, as well as the content from the two retail PC expansion packs, Tribunal and Bloodmoon. Morrowind Game of the Year Edition is actually best suited for those who already consider themselves to be Morrowind fans. On the other hand, those who were put off by Morrowind's huge, open-ended world will find an even huger, more open-ended world to be intimidated by in Morrowind Game of the Year Edition. This reissued version of last year's incredibly huge Xbox role-playing game includes a ton of new content as well as a few notable gameplay tweaks, making it easily recommended for Morrowind fans.

However, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Game of the Year Edition is an exceptional case. The typical "game of the year edition" or "platinum hits" version of a game offers nothing more to those who played the original release than a discounted price and a shiny, new box. Since the average shelf life of a game is measured in weeks rather than months, game publishers find convenient ways of reissuing some of their stronger titles in order to give them more exposure throughout the year.
