I think this is the most uninteresting part of Morrowind, it's a DLC that is basically "go to this island and kill a metric fuckton of skeletons".
I think these are more representative of the game. It's a bit dated, but insanely atmospheric and modders are still keeping it alive.
Back in the day we called them "expansion packs" instead of DLC because you went to the store and bought them on CD-ROM discs (or DVD-ROM if you had rich parents) because nobody's Internet was fast enough to download a whole photoshopped nude of Cindy Crawford in less than 20 seconds, let alone a whole game expansion.
Funnily enough this particular island was available via download and later as part of the GOTY pack, so technically speaking it was downloadable content before it became common. It was also free though.
Yeah I 'member. The good old days when an expansion pack was basically the dev wanting to do another game on the same engine, so they basically released another game's worth of content with it.
Age of Mythology: The Titans comes to mind.
That said, the skelly island was definitely a DLC, as in it had barely any content. Tribunal, and Bloodmoon were expansion packs, and good ones too.
