Morrowind: Elder Scrolls III

After playing this game for nearly a year now, it is clear to me that this is the best game that has come out for the PC in the past five years. Bethesda has once again set a new benchmark for First-Person RPGs. All of that being said, here is a wish list and perhaps a critcism or two. If Morrowind was multiplayer it might actually be the game of the decade.

The only real detractors of this game is that it does demand a pretty powerful computer (ram, and video card in particular) to run it smoothly. I am using a 64 MB video card, and 512 MB of Ram. A second problem is that there are some leveling issues with the game, straight out of the box. The game evenually becomes too easy. I found myself changing the stats on certain items to tone them down a bit, making the game a bit more challenging. For those that are able to, the Construction Kit, allows for even more modifications and difficulty adjustments.

Overall, I still gave this game a 5-rating because it is absolutely incredible graphically. It has one of the best sound tracks I've heard in an RPG. Finally, the Construction Kit is very easy to use and equally useful as well.

Large world to explore

This game is one of the best and most flexible RPG games I've seen. It is extremely customizable, letting you play the game you want to play. I'm not just talking about a world-builder option, but the game itself is extremely open. Starting with selecting your character, you don't ever have to look at the stats to get exactly the avatar that suits your playing style... with lots of races, classes, subclasses, guilds, and even astrological sign. Once out in the world, every time you do something you would normally do, you get more experienced in that, making your character fine-tuned to do what you like to do. I spent a day swimming off the coast, gathering pearls, exploring a wrecked ship and undersea caves. At the end of the day, my athletics skill was up, I could run farther, swim better, (and fight those nasty pirannah-like fishies better). To broaden your horizons, low level skills are pretty easy to buy advancement in from trainers, but to get those high proficiencies in your favorite skills you gotta use them again and again. I love seeing the message flash by on the bottom of the screen "Your longsword skill has increased", right in the middle of winning a tough battle. Around every corner is someplace to explore from raiding egg mines to political intrigue in the high nobles courts. Be a theif, secret agent, apprentice mage, and accolyte of the local Imperial Cult, all at the same time.

If You are thinking of buying this game READ!!!

First of all this game, in my opilion, is great. It is a first person RPG. It is one of the best games I have ever come across. Now is what dont understand is that either people hate the game, or they love it. Nobody thinks the game is just O.K. The game is a bit weird though, it is in midiebil times but there are these half human half creatures running around, that is what I think is weird. So review the game more to see if you really think you want to buy it or not, because you could be one of the people that hate it. Im just trying to help.

nyways the thing i like about this game the best is the music and sound combined with the graphics to make the game perfect, almost, the one thing I hate about this game is that you have to have a higher end system to run it. I have a 1.7Ghz processor and a geforce2 mx400 32mb. 256mb (133) sdram. And it runs kind of choppy at times and it takes its sweet time to load when I walk outside. But other than that it is the tightest game I have probably ever played.

All mine!...

I have played many games but I absolutely love this game! What games let you do what you want? I myself enjoy going around stealing and killing unsuspecting victims. All in the game of course! My brother got this game and I have been playing it ever since. It has great graphics and music. I like how you can talk to anyone and that you can try to become friends or enemies with them. You can also create your own human. Each one being better at different things. A few flaws it contains are that there is times when you have to wait for the game to load up, even on my brothers Alienware Computer the game seemed to have trouble loading or at times in the middle of the game it may even shut down. For the easily angered or impatient people this would not be the game for you. But consider how much fun you will have doing what you want!

Amazing Fun!

The Elder Scrolls 3 is an amazing game. Your first question would be "Who are you in the game and what do you do with this person?" Your answer would be "Whoever you want and whatever you want." The Elder
scrolls is a great game that anybody can enjoy.

Better than most

The people that are not happy with this game fail to give you any kind of alternative. This game has flaws in the types of creatures encountered and perhaps the method of level advancement but in comparison to BG it is really much better. The only thing BG has is a better party system. Morrowind is limited to one party member but has has a much more "open" storyline. You can do whatever you want with your character for as long as you want. The playing area is HUGE! I've been playing it for about a month and have only explored a quarter of the map. The encounters become a bit simplistic at higher levels but I can live with that. If you enjoy exploring and looting then this game is for you. If you want detailed encounters with NPCs then you should look elsewhere. I would say the NPCs are on par with BG (If you exclude the number of people in your party; Morrowind is a solo game). It's worth 30 bucks.

This game can run on almost anything!

Besides being a great game, it can run on a 600mhz machine with xp, 256mb of ram and a 32mb video card perfectly.

This game is not buggy at all!

I don't know why other people are saying it is very buggy. I played the whole way through the game with no crash at all. This is a fun game and it is a good challenge for high level players. The only setback was that it was too short. The new game has great new effects, cutscenes, abilities, quests, and overall gameplay. If you are a Morrowind fan, you will love this expansion.

Best expansion for Morrowind yet

Great expansion. Set on a snowy island with bears, wolves, and boars this expansion has a more interesting storyline than Tribunal. Really fun quests. If you like Vikings definitely buy this expansion as it is very reminiscent of the Viking period with Nord villages and a mead hall. I've read that other people have had frequent crashes and glitches, but I have not had a single one. I'm running Windows 2000 also.

It keeps getting better

Morrowind gives you a sense of relief from reality, you will be totally sucked into this world. I do agree , at the beginning it is a bit awkward to fight with the enemies due to the new combat systems and controls where you have to learn them and get use to it, after that everything will be straight forward.
Once you bought this game, like Neverwinter Nights you can download tons of mods from the websites, where you can add infinte features, lands, cities, islands,NPCs, Guilds.........lists goes on. Expand this game in the way you want it to.There are also people making some great projects based on this game! Plus it has professional standard music, graphics (excellent), special effects, it really worth its price. Morrowind also comes with Tribunal and Bloodmoon, worth to check them out, too.
