The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind GotY Edition

What can be said... This version of the popular, addicting, and vast game is, at this moment, the very best. It contain The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, Tribunal, and Bloodmoon. Yes this game has the first and both expansions! Not only is the game addictive and beautiful, but it is also one of the few games that has mods well worth using, some being the Stargate Mod, the Skooma Addiction mod, and of course, the Private Mobile Base mod. Download those as soon as you get this game, they are the very best! With this version of the game, not only are all of the bugs pretty much weeded out, but the major glitchs that were extremely annoying are also gone with the wind. This game deserves the 5 out of 5 I gave it, simple as that. I hope you enjoy this game as much as the other thousands of players out there!

The Most Amazing RPG World Ever

If you're looking for an action-thriller, shoot-em up FPS crossover, hit back and keep looking.

If you're looking for an intelligent, detailed, intriguing RPG operating system, this is it!

The original Morrowind with its expansions Tribunal and Morrowind are absolutely phenomonal and will keep you in their world for literally hundreds and hundreds of hours. It is possible to play the game for hours a day for months and still not have done everything.

The best part is the Construction Set that comes with the game. This allows amateurs to build new areas, sculpt and decorate terrain, create new weapons, buildings, quests, NPCs, and absolutely everything you could ever think of. Theoretically, the game never ends. It's not just the best RPG you'll ever play, it is truly a gaming operating system.

I can't tell you anything that the editorial review doesn't already mention, but I can recommend this game if you've ever been into gaming where your thoughts involve more than "which gun should I use to blow the next guy's head off...?" Prepare to be immersed in the world of The Elder Scrolls III!

Not just a simple rpg

I've had this game for months and still never feel bored playing it. I just recently completed the main quest after all these months because there is so much you can do in addition to the main story. I spent a lot of time simply messing around with character ideas just because the system leaves a lot of room to play with. More recently Ive been checking out Mods people have made for the game through the contstruction set and from what I've seen, the mods made through the contstruction set merge very well into the game itself and I am now looking into trying out the construction set myself to add a completely new dimention to my Morrowind experience. What also sets Morrowind above other rpgs is the incredible graphics offered. Everything including the weather looks very realistic and beautiful. The first time I saw the night sky in the game, I just stood there and stared. The only problem you might have is that you do need an upper end PC to fully enjoy everything, but Morrowind is also available on X-box for those with older machines. This is a game is a purchase you won't regret.

that game was class

This game REDEFINED my definition of a good RPG. One of my favorite aspects is that the player is not relegated to a "third-person" view. That is, the player directly controls combat, instead of issueing vague "attack" commands. The graphics are incredible, unrivaled even by Neverwinter Nights or its expansions. The sheer DEPTH of the gameplay is startling. You can pick up plates from a table, steal pillows from a bed, fight fish in rivers, you have almost unlimited interaction with your environment. In short, this game has beat out, stomped, and dominated every other RPG (even newer ones) that I have ever played. Buy it now or die unfulfilled.

OH MY GOD!!!!

This game is one of epic proportions that will keep you in your seat for the whole time. I have spent over 1000 hours on this game, and I have done only about 1/3 things that there are to do here. Absolutely amazing graphics, awesome gameplay, in-depth story line, hundreds of weapons, items and armor. quests, people, all is included in this game. AWESOME!!!

Awsome...

This game is great. If you like games with depth, this is your game. Hundreds of 'books' you can acually read about the game world. You can also play the game without even trying to follow the main story by just doing what you want to do. Join factions or explore the world, it is all up to you.

And in addition to a huge game world, the game comes with and editor so you can build new areas/worlds if you like.

My suggestion is that if you are going to play this game, block off your calander for about a month.

Don't Hesitate

Morrowind is quite simply one of the best RPGs of all time. For those who haven't played it, this collection is an insanely good deal, and you shouldn't even think twice about getting it.

The minute you start Morrowind you know that this is a game unlike any other. Your character can be one of ten races, each distinct in appearance and abilities. You can create your own classes, emphasizing any of 26 skills and eight attributes. As you enter the vast fully-3D world you advance your character by practicing and improving chosen skills. This makes it practically impossible to create the exact same character more than once.

The game world is simply gigantic- Morrowind has a huge landmass that takes you upwards of a half hour to run from one end to the other. The expansions Tribunal and Bloodmoon (included in this edition) add the additional Mournhold city and Solstheim island. All of the areas are chock full of enemies, caverns, tombs, ruins, and non-player characters. Many of these give you quests, which have rewards varying from gold to unique items. There are hundreds of quests, weapons, items, objects, and distinct locations in the game. I've played Morrowind for hundreds of hours and still occasionally come across something I have never seen!

The main story of Morrowind is well done and quite involved, and Tribunal and Bloodmoon add additional main quests to the plot. However, unlike every other RPG I've played, it's not at all compulsory to complete them. In fact, you can simply go gallivanting about Vvardenfell doing whatever you see fit- and have a good time at it too. There's plenty of towns and people to talk to (and, naturally, to kill) and side quests to complete. You can join one of three Great Houses and build a stronghold for yourself, or join any of a half dozen other factions- all with unique missions and rewards.

Morrowind's graphics are awesome- the detail in the objects has to be seen to be believed. There isn't a single sprite in the entire game, and both characters and terrain are all extremely well done. The game world is thickly populated with all manner of persons and objects, and you can explore in either first or third person. This can be a problem, however, if your system isn't up to it. If you can't see all the pretty graphics, the game isn't so fun, so be sure you exceed the recommended system specifications. Morrowind needs everything your PC has- there really is no such thing as too much power with this game. In particular, the game looks a lot better if your graphics card can run full-screen antialiasing with it.

Admittedly, combat in Morrowind is rather straightforward and can get a bit dull. You can shoot, hack, or nuke things up at will, and the ability to create customized weapons and spells makes this fun in a Diablo-esque way. Fighting isn't really the best part of the game, though. Rather, the freedom is. You can go anywhere and do anything you want in any order- a rather intoxicating degree of control that I've not seen in any other game. In fact, I should warn new players that after playing Morrowind other games- especially other RPGs- will seem extremely constricting due to the lack of freedom.

That said, there's another 'best' part of the game. That is the customizability of Morrowind and the jaw-dropping amount of fan content already available for download. With the editor you can change almost anything in the game. With that and 3D Studio MAX you CAN change everything in the game- and people have done so. Everything from total conversions to monster additions, new items, new objects, new quests and areas, and even new races and appearances are available for download. Due to the very intuitive plugin system, addition of this content is simple (the only problem being potential conflicts in plugins). If you take the time to learn a bit about it, you can make your own items and locations with the editor. Another warning here- this is more addictive than most narcotics, and once you start you'll always see something else that 'needs improvement.' It is not unheard of for 'players' to spend more time editing Morrowind than actually playing it.

Last of all, the soundtrack is definitely worth mentioning. Jeremy Soule (Icewind Dale, Total Annihilation, Neverwinter Nights) has composed one to remember. Best of all, it's all there in mp3 format, and you can customize it as well.

Even if you're not that much into RPGs, Morrowind is sure to hold your attention for a very good, long time. While it's initially not much of a challenge to play and there are a few sub-optimal features, these problems can (and have been) addressed with the editor. Though it lacks multiplayer mode, the game will almost certainly have you hooked for as long as any game with multiplay, and then some. There's a good reason there's no 'hours of play' figure on the box- this, like almost everything else with Morrowind, is completely up to you.

Morrowind is probably the best PC game ever released, in terms of sheer entertainment value. It's almost certainly one of the top ten RPGs of all time. If your computer can handle it, you should definitely pick up a copy.

One of the best RPG

This is a RPG (Role Playing Game) For PC. This a game that started pc then on the XBOX (I have) and played it is a step
what i think is a better game so get it on XBOX. But if you do not have one this is the next best thing. You do not need a fast computer i have played on my 700Hz but my 3.2GHz is a lot better. But Still it is one of the best RPG now on PC.
So if you have some money go head to wal-mart and the game.
O You need 2 to go along with 3.

Maybe the Best RPG Since Baldur's Gate 2

What can I say about The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind? Well, I don't know if I've ever played a stand-alone game (i.e. not an MMORPG) that made me want to explore such a vast beautifully rendered fantasy world. Morrowind is one of those games that you'll never fully appreciate if you don't have a top of the line video card, a large monitor and some nice speakers or headphones. It truly does capture your imagination and throw you head first into the world you're exploring. It's also one of the least linear RPG's I've ever played. There were hundreds of quests and I didn't have to do anything in a specific order. I could become a dastardly criminal, a chivalrous knight, and then suddenly change my occupation to a mysterious mage. Except for a few game essential characters, I could kill anyone and steal anything. Not that I wanted to, but that's just to give you an idea of how much is possible in this game. If I could compare Morrowind to anything it would be an offline version of Everquest because the vast amounts of land and people in this game almost feel like an MMORPG. Morrowind has it's own system of rules and leveling and that would be one of my few complaints, leveling is too darn easy in this game. It's very easy to obtain a "god level" in no time at all. Also, while there are hundreds and hundreds of quests and NPC's, sometimes there isn't enough variety to keep your interest. But the Game of the Year edition comes with both expansions so that should help ease some of the problems that inflicted gamers who only played the original game. The first expansion, Tribunal, takes place in a large city and is heavy on NPC interaction while the other expansion, Bloodmoon, gives you another world to explore that focuses on werewolves. Morrowind is one of those love-hate games. Gamers either love it to the end or end up hating it for some of the reasons I mentioned above. Whatever your final opinion of the game is, you will definitely be hooked for at least two or three weeks. Morrowind is a truly ambitious RPG and brings new life to this once popular but declining genre.
