I must say, this game is incredible, and I'll start from the beginning and work my way up to where I am now (no spoilers, I assure you).

The character creation is incredible, it is even more detailed and realistic than the hailed Baldur's Gate 2, and it enables you to sort of customize the class to your liking.
Graphics are decent, considering the age of the game...but in my opinion graphics are not important, so this had little bearing on my judgement of the game
The plot starts off a little bit slow, and I was worried that I might become uninterested with the game, but it did pick up, and it is quite a good plot in my opinion...
The only truly negative part of the game I experienced was the constant need to travel...it took a long time to reach places that weren't linked by caravans, and when you had to go back and forth between them it took up quite a bit of time...add that in with some random monsters and it got annoying and frustrating.

But that alone was definately not enough to demote it to 3 starts...an excellent game, and I'd recommend it to anyone that enjoys 1st person or RPGs

Utterly unbelievable!

I almost feel like I shouldn't write a review of this game, because I just don't know where to begin or how to say all that I want to say. This game is by far the greatest RPG I've ever played. It is big and sprawling and almost literally allows you to do anything you want. After the character creation process and the initial 'start' of the game, you walk outside and are free to go *anywhere* and do *anything* you want. You don't even have to pursue the main game, and there will still be 100+ hours of things to do.

I played this game for several months non-stop and never once got tired of it. Even now, a few years later, I still have memories of doing things in the game that are so vivid that I feel like I've been there myself and actually *did* do those things.

A quick anecdote: I was used to playing console RPGs (old-school types, like Breath of Fire, etc.) in which everything was linear, and you (and everyone else who played the game) had to progress at the same pace and in the same way. This meant if you came to a river, you'd have to wait until you found the 'boat' or 'canoe' and then you'd have access to that part of the map. In Morrowind, I chose to play as a mage, and one of my starting spells was "Waterwalking". I didn't know what to make of this at first, but then I used it and my character was walking across the water! I wasn't used to having that kind of ability right at the start of the game, but that's what makes this game so great -- you can do virtually anything, and at your own pace.

The world is huge and the cities you can visit are numerous. You can spend time in each one almost as if you were in a real city and you were touring it (especially Vivec).

The expansions are good also, but naturally they aren't as large as the original game.

Just an amazing, unbelievable experience.

Morrowind's massive, beautiful, and detailed world will keep explorers delighted for many hours. Twitchy gamers might get bored with the vastness of the world and the slower pace of gameplay, but deep role players who enjoy open-ended settings should be well pleased. There are some annoying bugs that interrupt play from time to time, but they're minor in the grand scheme of things. The game editor is extremely powerful, but is also complex and requires quite a bit of study and trial and error. I think Morrowind is worth the price of admission just to walk around and wonder at its fantastic landscapes. Just make sure you have enough horsepower. I would consider a 1000 Mhz CPU, Geforce2 or Radeon, and 256MB RAM to be a decent minimum.

A great game with some minor flaws

Now note before you rad that i ahd been looking forward to this game for quite some time! then i finally got it and was happy as happy could be, when i popped it in and installed it i got a message syaing somehting about my computer not being able to run it, so then i had to pitch in an addditional 90 bucks for a Nvidia GeForce4 PCI card, since my two year old Dell could not run the game, even with that hi tech graphics card i barely get acceptble frame rates and it takes about 15 minutes to load a new town when i take the silt strider (this worlds pubilc transportation). so yes, the rumors are true, Morrowind takes a monster machine to run or an additional 90 bucks, but it is oh so worth it, form the moment i started up i knew i loved this game.
First you are in a prison ship, why you are there is never explained but that hardly matters, apparently the Emperor just threw you in prison(?). but your Shipmate talks to you for a little while and then you pick your name, then a guard gets you and you head outside, there you pick your race,Gender and look of your characetr from a near endless list of cool choices (Dark elves are real cool, couldnt resist). then you head into a census office and choose your class, my favorite part, customization is half the fun in this game, you can make your character literally ANY kind of class you can think up, or you can pick one, but the real fun Lyes in making your won class where you pick your skills, name of the class etc, i love this part and anyone who always wanted to be a Demon hunter or something can just make it. then you pick a birthsign which dictates some major or minor abilities and stats you recieve, then you are released into the huge world of morrowind with just the name of a contact in Balmora, heres where the game really kicks off, you can explore ANYWHERE from any part of the game, on foot or in a silt strider (Giant pasenger bug) by boat or teleportation, the huge island you're on is Giant, your characetr can by equipment and accessories, weapons and armor and learn spells, they actually appear right on your character too unlike some console Rpg's. leveling up is fun and easy and ive been playing for a logn frickin time and still havent even completed the first main mission. thats the beauty too, you arent limited at all, you can join several different guilds and complete their quests orbecome an imperial guard and do empire work stc. you could play for as long as ypou have the game and never even crack at the main storyline, the island is littered with dungeons and towns too with miles of ruins stretching in vast mazes underground. this game world is huge and your totally customized character is in the middle of it all. characters react thoguhtfully too so if they dont like you or are Racist (in full force here) they wont like you and will say rude comments as you walk by. that brings me to my next point, the graphics, voice acting and sound is brilliant with great music and incredible piel counts, enviorments are brought to life in this game and characters look pretty realistic, guards also patrol the streets, so if you like some open-ness with your RPG cake then definately, by all means, BUY THIS GAME! it will hook you and never let go.

problamactic and corrupted

when i first got this game i noticed that the graphics, sound, and over all game play were very well done, the graphics were smooth and steady. the first problem i had was the stuttering in the animations but that is not all that bad. after playing for a day i turned of the computer, the next day i started my computer and found to my utter shock that i could not play morrowind. it had corrupted all of its font files, sound files, and slowly started to corrupt many of my other files that had nothing to do with morrowind at all. i could not uninstall the game, nor could i delete the file it was in. after many hours of trying to get around it and remove it the only option i had was to reformat my entire hard-drive. this game is very problamatic and possibly dangerous to a computer. if you still wish to play crpg's i reccomend the baldurs gate series, icewind dale II, or even neverwinter nights, (which had bugs but not as bad). save you money for something better that is fun and will not corrupt your system.

You get your money's worth.

You can enjoy this game for a long time. The world is huge and you can go where you want and do what you want. (You don't have to walk along a path like in Dungeon Siege, Diablo, or Arcanum.) Morrowind is my favorite game so far. I've been playing for a month, for hours a day.

Solid expansion

Morrowind is one of my favorite video games of all time. Bloodmoon is a good expansion, which adds a number of new elements. On the positive side, Bloodmoon gives you some more wide-open spaces to explore. It's a beautiful place, like parts of Vvardenfell, and the new architecture goes well with the scenary. The main quest is interesting, though a bit drawn out, and there are some nice side-quests. For mid- to upper-level characters, there are some good challenges. Also, some new armor, weapons, and magic items have been added. Modders should especially appreciate what Bloodmoon brings to the great big world of Morrowind.

On the not-so-positive side: Some of the storyline, especially with building the colony, drags along. The island is overstocked with hostile flora, fauna, and random humans that respawn way too quickly. The werewolves are adequately done, but lack variety and are certainly not very scary. As with Morrowind, you'll need a strong computer, but still be prepared for lower framerates (in blizzards) and the occasional crash to desktop.

Overall, Bloodmoon adds a lot to an already incredible, groundbreaking role-playing experience. If you liked Morrowind, you should definitely like this expansion.

What if you woke up on a ship not knowing who you are or what you are or were you came from. Then you find out that you just got out of prison for murder and you don't remember a thing! When you arrive, you're at a village called Sayda Neen. That has many new people to met things to see, swords to collect, and spells to learn. When you learn that you have magical powers you can find some magical items and magical anything!
In this game you get to make your very own character that is a dark elf, wood elf, khajit (like a human leopard), imperial, high elf, and angordians (man lizards). You get to make up your own name and play as that character in 1st person view, (through your characters eyes) or 3rd person view witch is when you can see your character. As your level gets even higher and you face even higher-level monsters and creatures, the game gets a little harder but your leveling up so it's not to hard!
There are new things happening all the time like murders, robberies, people that put a hit on some one else. People will ask you to kill someone for them or even steal something for them. You can either do it for them or kill them for the guards. Guards are high level "police" you might say. In this game it is very hard to kill a guard because they are level 10-20 but when you get past those levels you can just walk right trough and slay them all.
This game is so addictive and is really fun. The bad thing is that this game is rated T for teen and that makes it bad because there is some kids parents that wont let them play T rated games because "it teaches them bad things". Alls I got to say is that they are missing out big time! I still recommend this game for any one who likes mid-evil games.

Pretty Terrible -(Get it?)

Ladies and gentlemen, I have some terrible news. Morrowind, the third chapter in the Elder Scrolls saga, has proven to be one of the biggest PC let-downs in history. The game is a definitive example of what happens when endless opportunities meet horrible gameplay. By endless opportunities I mean that our good friends at Bethesda Softworks spent countless hours developing an amazingly beautiful and immersive 3d world...one in which you can go anywhere and do almost anything.-Open ended, epic world and events. - Though I did also say horrible gameplay...and Morrowind suffers immeasurably from just that. The fighting system is agonizingly weak. Unless you have a great weapon and awesome abilities with that weapon, you're going to spend a great deal of time getting [beat] by some of the games lowliest creatures. Also - There are so many spells and enchantments to use that it gets overwhelming trying to remember what does what and how to use it. Not only are the spells too many, but the interface with which to use them is cumbersome and annoying as well. You get stuck in these skirmishes, and you're struggling to attack and switch spells at the same time while your enemy(impossible to outrun) beats you down with little effort. _ Like I said, the world is very beautiful and the characters are amazingly detailed, but all this is lost as the game tries to run before it can walk. I'm sure geeks with nothing to do with their lives will have a fun time modding this one to death and spending every hour playing it until their character can stand up to the game's foes. But for the rest of us, crap on that. - - In short, Morrowind's designers tried to stuff 5 pounds worth of greatness into an 11 ounce box.** Too much at once for any gamer who doesn't think an aggravation induced stroke should be part of epic fantasy gameplaying. - Buy at your own risk.

THE MOST ENTERTAINMENT FOR $20 IN THE WORLD!
