If you

- like leaving the house
- have work to do
- have a series of important exams coming up

than don't ever even pick this game up. You'll never do anything else. It's truly fantastic.

Morrowind: A Good Game

Morrowind is one of the games that fall under the category of games with huge worlds but mediocre graphics. The world of Morrowind is so huge I have used dozens of cheats to move faster, teleport, etc and I still haven't explored a quarter of it. I've player for 100+ hours. The world is so variable you can go on forever. The storyline is excellent but can get boring at times. I don't follow the storyline so I have more fun. The number of side quests is huge and must amount to hundreds. For the cons the graphics for people are not great and the graphics have some problems. when you walk up stairs you appear to be floating and when things die on uneven surfaces they tend to float. The voice acting is pretty bad and the people have a small vocabulary. I love how it is basically unscripted and you can do almost anything in any order. All in all this is one of the best open ended RPGs ever made.

Old, boring, dumb

Why a 1?

a) The game is devoid of fun.
b) You move about as fast as a crippled snail, even when running.
c) The NPC's "talk" after you have concluded your text-based talking.
d) The graphics may have been good about 5 years ago but they are just muddy and dull now.
e) The game is open ended but as a result there is nothing really to do, and the land is so barren that you just get incredibly bored very fast.

I now know why there is no demo for this game, if there were no one would buy it.

BTW, some have argued that the "slowness factor" is a graphic/system problem but it is not. Your "character" simply is exceedingly slow, there is little jaggies or system level slowness. If you have played something like everquest or WoW, think of it like this; running in Morrowind is at the speed of walking in those games, and walking in Morrowind is about half that speed.

Also, the "since of wonder" at seeing stars is old, been done everywhere and doesn't impress. Walking down a road and seeing a door stuck in the side of a mountain means "dungeon" in morrowind...there is no since of wander, the dungeons are doors in the side of a mountain.

finally, if you want to buy this thing go ahead, clearly it appeals to some people. I rate it as one of the worst games I've ever spent money on and furthers my belief that if a game doesn't over a demo then there is some reason they are hiding it until after you make the purchase.

Amazing!!!!

As someone who prefers a first person perspective in an RPG, this game was recommended and I never looked back.
The graphics, the sounds, all make you feel that you could reach out and touch the world that engulfs your senses. The storyline is intense but does not rush you as you still have plenty of time to wander around and do what you will.

I am eagerly anticipating the sequel: Elder Scrolls IV:Oblivion.
I have it on pre-order and have been longing for the experience ever since Bethesda released their plans for it.

I tried to like this game. I really did.

I am an avid computer gamer, primarily of real time strategy, but occassionally other genres. I enjoy RPGs as well including the Final Fantasy series, Dungeon Siege II, and Diablo II, but Elder Scrolls 3: Morrwind was just not a good game. Why you may ask?

Well my main problem with it is the battle interface, which is a primary aspect of the game. Hiting enemies, esspecally short ones, is very inaccurate and cumbersome, causing a great deal of fusteration. This completely ruins the 'fun' aspect of the game. Also, it can be occassionally difficult to figure out where you're going or what is happening. While this is true of many RPGs, I found it to be a much more significan issue with this game. I have a feeling that some of those who enjoy everquest type games will enjoy this, however, many casual RPGers and people who appreciate a good battle interface will not.

Also, while graphics are not that important to an RPG, this game is kind of weird here. Some aspects such as water and landscape are beautiful when the graphics are turned up. However, characters, monsters, etc., are very poorly rendered and akward looking and acting.

The game has an overal cheesy feel dispite it's depth. I have given this game probably 10 hours of play, and it was not fun at the beginning, and it still isn't.

Poor interface ruins a great idea

This could have been one of the best games. The open playability is great, the characters and storyline are interesting, the fights are the right difficulty - BUT - the game is nearly impossibly to navigate. Clumsy two handed controls just to move and a lot of letter keys to remember for any given action. Also, while the graphics are decent, the viewing choices you are given go from bad to worse. :( I was really looking forward to this, and hoped I'd get used to the odd controls and view in time, but I finished the game still clumsy and disgruntled.

Okay

This gets a lot of really good reviews, but I don't like it very much. A game and two expansions for this price is a good deal. I had a problem, though: I couldn't even install my expansions. I went to the site to get help but I still couldn't get it working. Too bad, I was really looking forward to trying the game as a werewolf. Anyway, onto the main game.

Morrowind is known for being very non-linear. Some games are almost completely story-driven, where you have no other options than what they want you to do, but this is where they don't tell you to do anything and you only do what you feel like. You have a loose string of suggestions that you can follow, or you can wander to a random town and get a small quest. You don't get much as a reward, but there is a lot to try.

The characters are just boring. There are only a few types in each town, and the rest are just repeats. They look pretty good, although they aren't really unique. Each one isn't very interesting, and you can't really have compassion for any of them like you can in other rpgs. So there isn't much motivation. I could just as easily kill them as I could help them, and I was bored out of my mind listening to them and reading the script.

The graphics are pretty good. It looks clean, interesting, and there is some variety. There are items you can collect in the wild like plants and animal parts. Then you can sell them or use them as food or in alchemy. That's cool.

There are various skills, such as lockpicking, alchemy, and nightvision. These help in professions like being an guard or a thief. You can choose a race that specifies in these skills and professions, and how you look. You can also choose a sign that affects your traits. Your character is very customizable.

A lot of people seem to have problems getting this game to work. But, I think you should try this; it's a good deal to get the main game and two expansions. Although, if you aren't an rpg fan or are looking for a linear game, this might not be for you.

The Game

This was game was one of the best games I have played recently. I liked the option of not doing the main quest and having more free will then most other RPG's. But after a while it move get boring you only have 3 chop, stab, and slash. But in the end it was a good game that was worth the buy, and I am considering buying Fable because that seems like a more advanced version with more freedom.

I Love This Game
