Best game ever

Finally, a game that doesn't end after about three weeks. If you're looking for a game that could ultimately last you six or more months, then I recommend this one. The possibilities of this game are near endless and has re-play value.

The seller described the item very well and shipping was incredibly fast. Will buy from again.

Thanks!

Honestly can't tell you much, it's an expansion! Been there once outta curiousity just to see if it worked. It did. But wasn't going to tip the scale until it fell right in the RPG. Has started to mention it so may head to that part of the game soon.

Nice job

The game flows well from the prior Morrowind basic and Tribunal expansion games. Be warned, if you are not high level, groups of monsters will surround you in the wild and kill you. I played with a character with over 1,000 health and I took 700 - 800 many times in random combat. For all that, you would think you would be rewarded with even greater weapons and armor. Forget it. If you have explored the mainland a lot, and I have, then you already have better items than you will find in Bloodmoon. There are a few items from Tribunal that I have kept, but none from Bloodmoon. I admit, I have not completed the game. I am trapped on one of the quests that I cannot get past because of a glitch in the game. Hopefully, there is a patch. If there is, I'll up the game to five stars.

an epic game

You are dumped (or possibly released) off a prison boat into the land of wierd plants, alien wildlife, and a mixture of inhabitants not unlike the menagerie from Star Wars...
All you know is that someone in a "nearby" town, directions to which you have been told but unfortunately forgotten, is looking for you and it might be a good idea to find out what this individual wants...

This game maybe hard to get drawn into, at least it was for me. The reason for that: there is no clear path shown for you, NPCs don't have convenient signs on them saying click me to continue!", in fact most of them seem downright scary and hateful.

Then you start asking them questions and start to learn... options for what to do next emerge. You have better understanding of the inhabitants, the interconnections, struggles, you learn about different factions and organizations within this land, about their goals and ideologies.
Some of these goals are personal and selfish, others very political in nature or zelous in their religiosity, and some of them are so epic in scope they're stretching millenia back into the past... between all those agendas you are slowly finding your own. That is when the game truly begins...

4/5 because of some technical issues, which i won't go into

Lore and amount of backstory put into this game is extraordinary. There are books in the game that have an entire mythologies in them. The story itself is complex, no entirely good or bad guys here, although ultimately the player has to take sides and make choices.

Architecture changes greatly depending on the area and culture. From a cross between arabian-like dwellings and texan villas to the round houses in the tops of gigantic trees and houses made out of shells of... some big long extinct creatures. And of course a traditional medieval castles, however built and inhabited by a culture akin to that of ancient Rome...

I don't mean to insult the other reviewers, as they seem to be experienced gamers, but I think I have the most experience with this game, and my review will be the most accurate. Let me start by saying I came across this game in 2004 (actually it might have been early 2005) when my friend bought it for $20 used, for the Xbox. (If you have an Xbox and a capable PC I reccomend this game for the PC, as the load times for the Xbox are very long, sometimes over a minute.) I played for a while and eventually bought the game for myself. I played nothing else (heck, I did nothing else) for the next 6 months. I'm talking 2 hours daily. And I still haven't beaten everything (mind you, I bought this game with the Tribunal expansion and the Bloodmoon expansion).
Not everyone will fall in love with this game the way I did. Morrowind is designed for hardcore gamers (and I mean HARDCORE) and if you do not consider yourself one, you will be overwhelmed with this game. For those who like video games but aren't willing to devote that much time to one game, I recomend the more "user-friendly" sequel, Oblivion. But if you are like me and consider video games your main or one of your main interests, this game should amaze you. Obviously not everything will be perfect and problem free, but keep in mind that this is an old game.

Some of the cons:
-Load times can be long (but only if you have a slow computer or an Xbox).
-The journal is untidy to say the least, it is difficult to see which quests you have and haven't finished.
-It is very hard, because if you are exploring and happen to stumble upon enemies that you aren't supposed to face until laterin the game you will get killed. No doubt. (I don't really consider this a con but it bothers my friends.)
-The beginning of the game is confusing and you will probably have to start over several times until you are satisfied with your character.
-The game's world is teeming with enemy creatures, most of which aren't dangerous but all of which are extremely annoying.
-It can take a good 20 minutes to travel from one place to another on foot.

I'm not going to bother to list all the pros because there are so many, but they include:
-An incredibly huge world, but not like the "huge world" of games like GTA or Spiderman. You can actually enter all of the buildings in cities and talk to all the people, most of whom are important in some quest and all of whom are unique.
-Incedible character customization which allows the game to be played from many different perspectives (I have a wizard charcter, an assassin character and a knight character).
-A rich plot and "history of the world". You can spend hours learning about the political systems, religions and histories that were create for this game.

There are so many more but it is late and this reviews is already way too long.

Overall I would recommend this game to anyone who loves video games (RPGs espescially) and has lots of time on their hands :).

Another good expansion

The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind is an amazingly open-ended RPG where you can do anything. At the start of the game, the game gives you the basics you need to know to survive. But after that, you are on your own.
The one major flaw with this game is the one feature that sets it apart from all other RPG's: It is too big! If you look around, the product descriptions will say that you can explore the different parts of Morrowind. But, there's not much too see, and it takes you too long to get there. Another major flaw is the graphics. Unless you spend hundreds of dollars upgrading your computer, the graphics will seem sketchy in some parts. A few other bugs include flawed combat and stat upgrade system and bad voice acting.
There are many good things in this game, but I will not list them. If you are looking for a decent game that's not that hard and that you can finish in a few days, then you should buy this game.

This game is amazing.

Are you looking for a gigantic.. and I mean GIGANTIC RPG world filled with amazingly detailed environments like sandstorms, rain n thunder, volcanic lands, marshy terrains, tombs, towns, ruins, and dungeons? Well, this game has that. The creatures in this game, they're just out of this world. One of the creatures you'll see in the game is a Dreugh which is a scorpion/squid like creature and it creeped me out. That is exactly what you'll have to face as you try to complete hundreds of quests (you'll never do em all) in the land of Morrowind. This game is a must have for people who like RPG and adventure games. Even if you don't like it you'll still need it cause this is the game of the year, right.

THE MOST ENTERTAINMENT FOR $20 IN THE WORLD!

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

Welcome to my review of the third installment in the Elder Scorlls series, Morrowind. Morrowind is my first ES game, and all I can say is, "Are they all this good?" If someone asked me what my favorite game was two weeks ago, I would say, "Ocarina of Time." Now, however, I would flatly state, "Morrowind. Hands-down." Now, on to the actual review.

Graphics: 9/10
The graphics are absolutely awe-inspiringly gorgeous. I have not seen this realism in a video game since... ever. The only problem is that the graphics require a near-supercomputer. Mine is kind of super, and the graphics look fine, but the framerate is slightly choppy at times. Otherwise, great. As close to perfection as I have ever seen.

Sound: 10/10
Swords cling and clash. Magic blasts roar with power. Daggers swiftly slice through the air. Water sounds like water. Perfection. Absolute realistic perfection.

Voice Acting: 8/10
The voice acting in this game is excellent. Sadly, the voice acting is limited to two sets per species: a male set and a female set. You hear everything, from the male Wood Elves speaking of your freeness when you prance around in your underwear ("How free you are to venture in the nude!") to High Elves speaking of teleportation accidents ("I didn't remember using teleportation, yet there I was. Alone. Naked."). Even a celebrity voices all of one set. Who is it? Lynda Carter (aka Wonder Woman) voices all of the female Nords in the game.

Music: 9/10
The music is great. From the first time you boot up the game and hear the roar of drums, to when you're adventuring across the Morrowind countryside and hear beautiful, beautiful music, the game's music is spectacular.

Story: 10/10
You are a prisoner in the Imperial City's prison. You have just been released and are being taken to Seyda Neen for an unknown purpose (although you will find out why later). You create a character, are pointed in the direction of the main quest, and cut loose. From there, it's your story. You can choose to involve yourself with the Temple, a House, and a Guild. If you continue the main story, you can also be a member of a heroic organization known as the Blades.

Gameplay

Gameplay 1: Character Creation: 10/10

When you first start off, you'll get to make a character. This character can be anything from humans (Imperials [Cyrodil], Bretons, Nords, and Redguards) to elves (Wood Elves [Tree-Sap], Dark Elves [Dunmer], and High Elves [Altmer]) to beasts (Argonians [lizard people] and Khajits [tiger people]). This allows for rich enough gameplay, but you can also pick classes, such as Crusaders or Witchhunters. Not only that, but you can create your own classes with different skills to excel at, such as Alchemy, Destruction, Long Blade, Heavy Armor, Short Blade, Acrobatics, and more.

Gameplay 2: Controls: 10/10
This is one of the few PC games with great keyboard-and-mouse gameplay. The mouse looks around. W moves forward. A and D strafe (or turn, depending on your options). S goes backwards. R and F ready weapons and magic, both of which can be used with the left mouse button. Right-clicking brings up an equipment screen. 1 through 9 are assignable quick-equips. 0 puts up your weapon and readies you for hand-to-hand. Tab switches between first- (through your character's eyes) and third-person (seeing your character) view. Caps lock and shift determine your walking speed. Control (Ctrl) makes you crouch and sneak. -, =, [, and ] are quick weapon and magic cycles.

Gameplay 3: Combat/Items: 10/10
The game's controls are perfect for combat. Very fun. There are a wide range of weapons and items ranging from longswords to books and scrolls. There are many different varieties of enemies as well. Perfection.

Gameplay 4: The World: 10/10
Morrowind provides a huge landmass to explore, full of items, characters, and enemies. The game includes an easy-to use construction set, as well, which infinitely expands Morrowind's world. The expansion packs also add to the world, adding the Imperial City of Cyrodil (by teleportation) and a freezing-cold island that can be reached by swimming (good luck; there are Slaughterfish in there) or taking a boat. I don't have the expansion packs, though, and the game is near perfect now.

Gameplay 5: Character Interaction: 7/10
This is the game's only weakness. Interaction with other characters is limited to choosing items on a menu. It is okay, though, and still immersive.

Overall Gameplay: 9/10

Final Verdict: BUY THIS GAME. If you have an XBox and a PC, get the PC version. It has a construction set. Also, don't get this, get the Game of the Year edition, which includes the expansion packs and costs about $40 less than buying the main game and the packs seperately.

ESRB Rating: T for Teen (13+) for violence, blood, and gore

My Rating: 10+ for violence, blood, and mild language
Buy or Rent: If you like RPGs, buy now. If you're not sure, rent it first.
