Key to the new game play are the high level monsters. In the original Morrowind, once a character - particularly fighter types ? achieve a certain level and equipment, the combat becomes laughably easy. Tribunal makes a serious effort to change this, and they almost succeed. Dungeon denizens (and city guards) are much more difficult to best. Even still, a fully armored high level fighter can still cut them down ? it just takes a little more effort. There are a few much tougher combats, such that it takes some strategy to succeed; it was the first time in many Morrowind months I had to think about combat before charging and chopping. Tribunal also includes an adjustable difficulty setting previously available in the Morrowind patches, allowing tougher fights. I shudder to think about winning some of the Tribunal fights on higher levels.​
