I have enjoyed Bloodmoon so far. I admit there are times when it crashes and it is slower than the other two games, particularly when it is snowing. Nonetheless, it is a beautiful game that is enjoyable and fun to play. Again, a very creative game. I think it is better than Tribunal.

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.

Great game and great fun

This game is probably the penultimate game of ever. I have played hundreds and hundreds of games, but this one takes the cake. You can go where you want, do what you want, and reap the reward or the ramifications. If you get bored with one story line, pick up another. If you get bored with that one, go back to the first one, or pick up another one. It's all up to you. The graphics are great, (would be better without the fog) and the story is a little shallow, (you will understand just who you are from the first few hours of play) but rich with detail.
I strongly reccommend this game.

Make the Jump from FPS to RPG

This review is written from the point of view of the many first person shooter (FPS) fans who haven't gotten into RPGs due to a dislike of the traditional isometric graphics and party-driven gameplay used by most RPGs.

I decided to give Morrowind a try after having enjoyed the RPG-ish FPS games System Shock 2 and Deus Ex, but having disliked the isometric and party-driven Baldur's Gate 2. In Morrowind, the first-person perspective provides a familiar control scheme to the FPS gamer yet the freedom of movement and depth of interactivity of an RPG is available as well. The combination is a powerful gaming experience in Morrowind, much more so than even Deus Ex or System Shock 2.

While there are no guns to fire, your character's ability to throw flame balls and wield a mighty sword provide a satisfying offensive capability. The typical FPS gameplay of unlock door, kill, find key, unlock door, repeat is broadened significantly in this game. You can 'leave the rails' and explore the world, stop to admire the view of the twin moons in the night time sky (complete with changing moon phases), go for a swim or arrange your latest treasures for display in your own house.

Your character begins the game pathetically weak, unable to kill the simplest crab or fish without a struggle. In time, though, this shortcoming becomes a strength of the game as you grow to appreciate the progress you've made as a combatant. Some of the enemies you encounter are more advanced as the game unfolds, but the number of spells your character learns and your ability to use them increases as well, keeping the game fresh and challenging.

The graphics are superb, employing programmable pixel shading for the excellent water effects for example, but even on my Athlon XP 1700+ / GF4Ti4200 system the framerate can bog down at times. The sound effects are adequate, but the beautiful score could easily pass as a late 19-th century Romantic symphony.

There is no party to control, so you can concentrate on your character as an individual in combat. Combined with the rather flat NPCs, however, this can make Morrowind feel a bit lonely at times. Still, for the FPS gamer who longs for more in-depth gameplay without sacrificing graphical quality, Morrowind is an excellent choice.

Enthralling

This game is amazing. It offers a huge world, lots of chracter customization, an interesting main story, and dozens of side quests. There's a simply a staggering number of things you can do and experience in this game.

Over Rated - Try Dungeon Siege or Diablo

While some of what they say is true, i.e. incredibly expansive universe, you can go where you want, so much to look at and do, etc.. the interface is just not that great. Movement is just to slow, takes forever to get from one place to another, quests send you back and forth to places and you waste time just walking from one place to the next. Combat is also kind of weak, not much fun. If you played Diablo, it was much better in that game. I guess I found the whole game just a bit "clunky." I have started to play Dungeon Siege, and that game is much better, better graphics, better combat, easier to use, etc. I was also a big fan of Diablo. I realize it may just be me, and many like this game, but I was dissapointed.

Excellent game

This is one of the best expansion packs I have seen. Although the main quest is not as long as it could have been, it is still quite challenging. Even without the main quest, this pack is worth the money just for the new monsters and winter scenery available in the game editor.

stunning graphics and gameplay

Marrowind is an x-box game that never ends. You have lots of characters to choose from and you can be whatever you want. A thief, scavenger, traveler, merchant, and thats only to name a few occupations you can be. This game's graphics are very good and it's very addictive to play! Me and my friends all love this game, and I'm sure you will too!
