The Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind is the best game I have ever played. You can virtually do anything that you want like walking around killing the populous or following the main quest and being the games legendary hero. There are plenty of other quests you can follow and you can join guilds to become an even more in-depth citizen of the island of Vvardenfell. If you get tired of searching the game for great weapons or other stuff you can just use the editor to make yourself the extra super-powerfull weapons that you need to beat the final enemy: Dagoth Ur. Unlike many other games, Morrowind's editor is extremely user friendly making altering the game for your better intrest a piece of cake. This game is far superior to any other RPG on the market. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

I don't own this game, but I've played a couple of times. Fpr anyone who know what they are, this game is like a visual M.U.D.
(check out a cool one at retromud.org). It's very open ended, letting you explore the world and generally goof around. It has awsome graphics, and very realistic weather.

How a RPG should be

seems to me alot of people have given this game 5 stars cuz there true rpg players and the others give it 1 star because there just not the rpg type. and theres nothing wrong with that. but in my opinion an rpg is a game with freedom fanticy world that requires pationts. through this game using pationts u can recieve SO much fun out of it but not all people look at it that way and get fusterated with intisapation. looks like the people who gave the lower ratings didnt have the pationts to play this rpg but i promise u is this game is a load of fun if its the right game for u.

i played diablo... it was fun till i beet it through to hell difficalty with most of the classes and got a frew level 70s wich didnt take that long and got very boring about half way through. with this game the fun will hardly ever end with a long story line + a wonderful replay system. not to mention the graphics (makes me drool) and a world bigger then "dark age of camelot". also the way the combat is done so it doent include that dreadfully lame everquest's "auto-attack" ...and then my favoret feature, the astonishing freedom of choice that really takes u into its role playing fanticy world :)

This game ROCKS!!!!!!!!!

I played this game at my cousins and loved it. You can pick your own skills, or, if your lazy, you can just pick out a premade character layout. There are THOUSANDS of different weapons, armor, and spells. The graphics are the best I've seen. The only problem is how your stamina runs out. Come January 1st, I'll have this game for myself!!!!

A wonderful idea that gets stale

It has so much potential, but some simple concept flaws really bring it down. With just a little tweaking, this really could have been the best game of all time.

Progressing from level 52 to 53 is no harder and takes no longer than going from 1 to 2. this makes it far too easy to fly up in levels at breakneck speed. A well proven system for this type of game is to implement character development in such a way that levels progress more and more slowly. If this one aspect was fixed in this game, I can safely say that it would be my favorite game of all time.

Gets a little tedious - not for children

Never have I played such a visually stunning and impressively massive game. It is just enormous. There are so many places to go and people to talk to it's incredible. That said this game lacked a little something. As much as it was fun to complete quests and roam the picturesque landscape it really got repetitive after a while. All the characters stood pretty stationary and in some areas the quest line could be very easily broken if you weren't careful. The beasts weren't very challenging to fight either. Often all it took to kill a beast is a couple of swipes with your blade; this even includes many of the greater beasts. This game is more about storey line than anything and the themes start to recur after a while. The characters lack voice - while people do greet you with an auditory comment that is all they ever say. It is up to you to engage them and click through the mass of topics they have to talk about and memorize what they have to say.

I also wouldn't suggest allowing children to play this game as it has many adult themes. For example: Slaves - which you can free or engage in buying / selling. Stripper clubs - where you can talk with the actively dancing girls. Homosexuals - which will require you to strip your clothing in order to advance a level. Gangs - most which will request you to eliminate other gangs. Theft - which you will get away with as long as your stealthy or strong enough.

In all this is an impressive game simply because of sheer size and beauty. Otherwise it is lacking depth.

A 'real' world.

This game is not just role playing, but role _living_.

If you just want some random hack'n'slash there might be better titles for you, because the world of Morrowind is so complete, that you start having concerns, obligations and delights in this computer world.

The thrill when sneaking through an old tomb with a crossbow ready is excelent, but playing Morrowind is also about the joy of the sunset seen from a rock on the coast and a relaxing beer in your favorit pub in Balmora. No other game will in the same way take your thoughts away from the 'official missions' and into single player roleplaying.

The manual with the game is small, why? Because if you want some information about the game world you should look in the bookstore _inside_ the game world. :) :) :)

Very dyanimc, expansive

Morrowind is one of the most dynamic and expansive game worlds around. While there is a centeral series of missions in Morrowind, the game branches out with a seemingly infinite array of options. The map is expansive, and the scenery is gorgeous. At every turn, you'll find new oppurtunities, dungeons, quests, shipwrecks, and other perils (but not without rewards). The game has a high replay value. You can't simply follow a straight line through the map to complete the main story quests unlike many games of this age. Its akin to Dungeons and Dragons, without having to meet up with your friends to play. The game also has the TES Construction Set, enabling anyone to create "plugins" which modify the main game world in some way. People have already added new dungeons, continents, as well as useful items such as homes and banks. Morrowind is a good investment for those who can appreciate fantasy games.

Genius

This game is wonderful. I bought it several months ago and still play it. There are just so many different "lifestyles" that beating the main quest once means your only about 1% done with the game. The map is HUUUUUUUGGEEEE and you'll often stop your travels to admire the landscapes. There are a huge variety of races in Morrowind each with different advantages. When you create your character, you can choose the race, the class (sort of like your "specilaty" you can also make your own class) and your birthsign. These all effect which path you will take in Morrowind. The Main quest assigns you as a member of the Blades, an elite orginazation of adventurers that do the Emperor's dirty work. Throughout your journey you'll find hundreds of pieces of armor, thousands of weapons, and millions of spells (you can also hire a spellmaker to make a spell for you). Two things that really add to the game are enchanting and alchemy. There are several varieties of "ingredients" in morrowind that you can combine to make potions. These ingredients can be anything from rat meat to mold to bonedust to Daedric hearts to diamonds. If your skilled in alchemy, you can make very effective potions that sell for quite a pretty penny. Enchanting is great also. You can enchant a weapon wiht a spell (for example) so the spell is automatically cast when the weapon strikes an enemy. you can enchant an article of clothing with constant effect chameleon for an invisibility advantage. Simply put, there are so many things to do in this game, I cannot describe them in one review. Every character in the game is interactive, you can talk to them, or kill them. Its up to you. There is a law system too. You will be punished for stealing (you can steal annnnnnything except furniture.) or killing or attacking or any other threat to the public just like in real life. You dont even have to follow the main story line. I dont. You can join a guild and do their jobs (there are several guilds including fighters guild, theives guild, mages guild, house hllau, house televanni, house rederan, the Morag Tong, etc) You can do freelance work and just tour the island for people who need help. You can make decisions too. For example, you find a women who says she will give you the boots of blinding speed, a pair of boots that increase your speed by 200 points if you escort her to a far away town. Do you live the life of honor and escort her or do you live the life of greed and kill her and loot her body of the boots? Its up to you. The game never ends. There are regular creatures like rats and bugs, there are evil spirits called Daedra. There are ghosts there are cult worshipers there are greedy theives. There is everything. This game is fantastic with astronomical replay value.

Great add on to Vvardenfell

To begin, Bloodmoon ads a new Large Island named Solstheim to the North West of the main continent Vvardenfell. To get to this island you need to take a boat from the docks in Khuul or swim there. Once reaching Solstheim you start off at a fort where there are two factions you can start working for. The local captain has a some missions as well as the leader of the local mining colony which you have a part in designing.

To the north of the island is where the tribal Nords live. The island is patched with snow in the south and covered in the north with very nice blizzards happening now and then.

Bloodmoon's story is suppose to allow you to become a werewolf which is a new experience in and of its self and I recommend each player try it out at least once. The quests well take you all over the island and eventually you well have discovered everything about the island. This expansion is better then Tribunal in my opinion and well make a great addition to anyones adventure. Thanks Amanda.
