Big disappointment

I've been an avid gamer since the 70's. Starting with the original box sets, and happily embracing CRPG's as soon as they emerged.

I was intensely excited, awaiting the arrival of Morrowind in my local retail store, and quickly bought my reserved copy as soon as it arrived.

Imagine my great disappointment when I discovered the game was all hype - and no substance.

First; awkward two-handed character control (one on the mouse for steering, and the other tied up on the keyboard to supply forward - or backward motion) BUMMER!!!

Second; clunky, ram eating, gameplay. Some folks may not mind waiting while scenery changes freeze, then take forever to load, but I'm not one of them.

I was really counting on Morrowind to feed my habit until Neverwinter Nights arrives, but no such luck.

Oh well, back to Diablo.

I like this series so much I still play the old Daggerfall on my p2 450, but Bethesda seems to have dropped the ball on the latest installment for the Elder Scrolls.

Running this on my fastest computer (which is well above specs for this game), anything other than the absolute lowest resolution is so frame-rate poor it is impossible to even navigate the user interface. At this resolution, the interface does not scale, so the GUI becomes very hard to use.

They also took it upon themselves to neuter my favorite class, the monk, by making them do fatigue damage now instead of physical damage.

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.

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.

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

Tribunal is a very good expansion with many hours of gameplay in it. I played for about a month just in Mournhold, completing every last quest I could get my greedy hands on. Then I went back to a save game and killed Almalexia! My favorite quest is when the little wood elf asks you to help him beat up a Nord. I did beat up the Nord, but then I killed him, so everyone else attacked me. Thankfully, I saved previously, so I killed both the wood elf and the innkeeper and took their money. Then I went back to a save game.

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.

Very Nice Game

This is an excellent Role Playing game. The graphics and script are excellent. The AI is very good, although the pathing doesn't work occasionally.

But the game is still extremely buggy - locks up or kicks to desktop. Save early and often.

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
