I found this game very engaging and fun. The only problem was that I had to spend 2 to 300 dollars upgrading my computer, and even then I had problems with the game. For some reason it kept crashing on me. I had to update some drivers to fix the audio problems and rename some file to fix some of the video problems I had. Other than that, it was a great game :)

This game is 5/5 for fun. Overall I give it 4/5 for some gripes with the overall gameplay, and the frequent crashes. Also, it comes with no printed manual or materials whatsoever. It is literally a plain box with a single dvd inside. The manual can be found in PDF format on the disc.
I enjoyed the freeform deign and ability to do whatever you want. Join factions, do the main quest, or just hunt for artifacts in tombs and ruins. Some of the 26 or so skills are sort of useless, and I think the game's overall choice of making a fighter, a mage, or a thief are unbalanced, with fighter being the most powerful. However this isn't such a flaw because one of the game's best features is the custom class creation. So if you want to be a mage but find that a "pure" mage is too weak, you can have a mage that wears heavy armor, uses longswords, and has sneaking skills. The freedom is a great feature, maybe the best one. The story is great, and the "culture" of the setting feals realistic and so do the many towns, cities, and places. Another plus is that the dialouge is textual, not spoken. Some people complain about this, but it leaves you free to overlay whatever inflections or accents you want over the text using your imagination, as opposed to hearing the same recording over and over. The graphics are very good, considering the game's 6 years old, you may be surprised by how well the overall appearance of the game has kept up with today's expectations. Most PCs should be able to run it with all full settings. The bodies don't look good, however. It doesn't natively support widescreen aspect ratios, but you can edit the registry or get a 3rd part program to change the settings for you. The music is excellent, although it can be annoying when the game's music engine interrupts the "explore" track with a "battle" track simply because a little creature runs past your feet. Overall, I highly reccomend this game for its depth freedom, and replay value. It has tons of backstory and lore for people interested by the "culture" of Morrowind, as well as over 200 in-game, readable books, plays, notes, and scrolls. In other words, you can get sucked into the culture and lore if that's your style, or you can totally ignore it with no affect on your ability to complete the quests.
After many years, it keeps on giving...

I first played Morrowind on the Xbox and enjoyed it. On the PC its just as good if not better. The expansions make the world of Morrowind a bit more interesting. If you can't upgrade to Oblivion, Morrowind still does the trick.
Would be better if it didn't crash all the time

I really wanted to like this game. Really! Friends of mine had shown me the gorgeous graphics, and said that the replay value was endless.
The problem was I never got though it once. If you had the sound on, it crashed every 10-20 minutes. If you turned the sound off, you might get away with 30 minutes of continuous play. After several hours of this, applying every patch and every suggestion, I gave up.
great game but does have some problems

mainly crashes are the downfall with this game, and that's unfortunate because this game is so good. This game makes you save literally every minute or two because of the sheer volume of crashes. Other than that, this is one of the best games I've ever played. It's too bad they couldn't work out the bugs though, it gets really annoying to have to reload your game all the time.
bad controls left me bored the first night

sorry, i know this is suppose to be a great game...but i couldn't get into it at all. combat was terrible, just atrocious. the quests were ok, from what i did...there wasn't much direction though so it was a lot of guess work, and find the hiding npc or item...which wasn't fun when you found out your missing an item, with no leads at all as to where that item might be located. in a world as big as elder scrolls(good thing), finding something with no idea as to where it is(very bad thing) in a huge world, just isn't good at all.
Another Elderscrolls Game

This game is so open ended and confusing that you fail to pick up on it until you have played it for hours upon hours and is virtually unfinishable even after years of playing... Bethesda, keep up the good work

even though i have just started the game and am only 30 minutes into it i have to admit it is probably the most real rpg there will ever be.it got the game of the year award in 2002 and includes 100+ hours of exilerating gameplay and is the best game i have ever played out of my 21 games.

This game is a second ELDER SCROLLS game for me. My first was Oblivion. I was disappointed in the graphics as I was accustomed to the OBLIVION graphics. However, because this game was a precursor to OBLIVION and the graphics engine was not as sophisticated as the later engine, the graphics from 2002 are still acceptable. Now that I have experienced OBLIVION I would want the new graphics in everything.
