I have played CRPGs for close to 15 years now. Like most gamers out there, I have been very jaded with the selection of games lately. They just seem like cookie cutter standard [stuff]. Morrowind, however, reaffirms my faith in gaming. If you enjoy RPGs, and are looking for something totally original, get this game! You won't regret it!

If you can run it

I originally gave this game 1 star because when I loaded it, it didn't work (as you may have read from some other people). I'm running a P3-1GHz, 256MB Ram, Windows ME, with a 64Meg GeForce2 Video card and the game crashed everytime after character developement. It would do this even after updating all my drivers as Bethesda recommended as a fix action, nothing worked and I just gave up. Last weekend I upgraded to Windows XP and decided to see if Morrowind would run again. WOW! it did! This is one of the better games I've played. It's fairly easy to control and very open ended. It deserves 5 stars but I had to deduct one for not working on ME when it should have. I recommend this game only if you're running XP.

been playin for a year..love it!!

Morrowind brings so much to the PC RPG, I never thought that an RPG could be this good(myself usually playing a FPS or Sports). I enjoyed this game because of the ability to control everything about your character and how you take on abilites and quests. The graphic engine is stellar and the combat is good while not great. THE WORLD IS HUGE, i couldnt tell you this enough, its massive and a little daunting. i think that the overall difficulity is too easy after you get used to the learning curve. also you have to want to play morrowind, i cant see an average gamer playing this, you have to be a hardcore type and really appreciate some things that developers do in morrowind. You need a REALLY GOOD PC, i have a 2.8 ghz w/ 512 and GF4 and play hi-res, but still every once in a while like in Vivic and just walking around it gets slow. i think this can be added to the large amount of bugs. I'll be playing and all of the sudden it will quit the game to desktop(huh?). that kind of stuff happens but i love it for the game not hate it for the bugs.

Wow!

Morrowind is hailed as the best RPG of the year for good reasons. It defines open-endedness. Your character arrives on the island of Vvardenfell, which is populated by 10 interesting races of humans, elves, orcs, and more. The majority of the population are Dark Elves, since they are native to the area, but they have a hugely detailed culture and history, from the powerful Great Houses bickering over things like the drug trade, to the ashlanders living in yurts out in the deserts plotting to overthrow the imperial colonists.
Your character can be one of 21 classes, although I expect most people chose to design their own, picking what type of skills you like and how to use them. Unlike in most RPGs, certain classes like theives aren't useless: your character, if you wish, can become rich by breaking into mansions and cleaning them out.
There is a 'main quest' but in my opinion it's far more interesting to wander around the island hacking up interesting monsters from Alits to Zombies, and everything in between. The land is peppered with towns ranging from Imperial fortresses to camps of huts, to buildings made from giant insect shells, and many more interesting sorts of architecture that I'll leave you to find for yourself. There are also Dwarven ruins about which are left over from the Dwarves who vanished for no apparent reason several hundred years ago. These look very cool, and have these high towers that appear ominously over the horizon. But even cooler are the Daedric shrines here and there, full of cultists that summon nasty monsters, all sorts of zombies and crocodile things, and of course incredible loot.
There are a variety of factions you can join and do quests for, and even advance to the position of their leader. Some of the quests get repepetive, though, mostly consisting of going to get an item, or kill someone/something or both.
The only real downsides to this game are that the AI leaves a lot to be desired, you need a very powerful computer to play it, and there are some rather exploitable bugs that allow your character to become ridiculously rich and powerful at a low level. But the island is so huge that you can just start a new game and take a different path in life. There are two expansion packs that add a lot to the game, and an editor is included which allows you to change a lot of things about the game with no technical knowledge at all, and create vastly different mods if you knwo how to script. For me, the main use of the editor was to get rid of those freakin' cliff racers (a harmless nuisance that attacks you every two and a half seconds in the ashlands). And of course there are a million user-made mods out there that you can install to change the game or uninstall if they're causing problems.
Morrowind is worth the money it cost at its release, easily, and now you can grab it for about 30 dollars which is a real steal. Don't hesitate.

Marrowind is an x-box game that never ends. You have lots of characters to choose from and you can be whatever you want. A thief, scavenger, traveler, merchant, and thats only to name a few occupations you can be. This game's graphics are very good and it's very addictive to play! Me and my friends all love this game, and I'm sure you will too!

Morrowind is an excellent game for Elder Scrolls fans and those that are oblivious to the Elder Scrolls saga alike. If you are running a powerful computer you will be in awe of the vistas that this game will produce. I recommend this game for any die hard RPG player that has a lot of time of his/her hands, believe me you will need it due to the countless quests and "things" that you can do. Also when you get the game make sure to download the patch as soon as possible. When you download this patch it fixes some bugs and creates a heath meter for the enemies that you encounter. This helps you know what you are up against. Instead of blindly slashing at an enemy that happens to have an ungodly amount of HP.

In addition the game comes with a construction kit. With this you can construct houses and dungeons, castles and forests then incorporate these products into your current game. But keep in mind that this construction kit may contain some spoilers, such as weapons and items, also the locations of certain cities, dungeons/crypts. But you can avoid that if you like. There are construction kit guides online that you can go to that will definitely help greatly.

Buy this game you won't regret it!

Great game and great fun

This game is probably the penultimate game of ever. I have played hundreds and hundreds of games, but this one takes the cake. You can go where you want, do what you want, and reap the reward or the ramifications. If you get bored with one story line, pick up another. If you get bored with that one, go back to the first one, or pick up another one. It's all up to you. The graphics are great, (would be better without the fog) and the story is a little shallow, (you will understand just who you are from the first few hours of play) but rich with detail.
I strongly reccommend this game.

Beautiful!

If you have a minute to spare while you're running around doing missions, stop and look up. The graphics in this game are beautiful. The sky is fantastic and you can sit and watch it change from night to day. I was also impressed with the variables that the game allows for. You can do anything. You can follow quests given by certain people or make a name for youself. It is paradise for any ex-Thief players. You can steel everything. I would recommend this game to anyone.

Excellent

I have enjoyed Bloodmoon so far. I admit there are times when it crashes and it is slower than the other two games, particularly when it is snowing. Nonetheless, it is a beautiful game that is enjoyable and fun to play. Again, a very creative game. I think it is better than Tribunal.
