Simply one of the greatest games ever December 20, 2007

Morrowind is one of the finest RPGs I have ever played. The biggest draw is the sheer size of it - the world is absolutely huge and you have the freedom to go wherever you please. There are so many side quests that often the main plot becomes only a minor consideration. The level of detail that has gone into every little aspect makes it simply addictive. While the game is now a fair few years old, the graphics still hold up well and the game runs smoothly without anywhere near the level of hardware that Oblivion requires.
The levelling up process is generally well done and intuitive. The main quest is suitably epic, when you finally get around to it. The learning curve is such that even a complete novice at RPGs would soon be able to get the hang of things.
It would be easy to talk endlessly about the good points of the game...but it isn't quite perfect. Sometimes travelling can become particularly annoying, especially when you're running through the harsher, dust-filled landscapes. Some quests are plagued with poor path finding - I often messed up quests by losing track of somebody who was meant to be following me. In certain places, the number of identical wandering monsters who attack you is tedious. I also found that the single-player system in Morrowind means that you lose out in the joys of having a party. This is something that D&D based RPGs have done well over the years, but in Morrowind it just feels like you against the endless wilderness. It also means that your character has to master several different disciplines if you like to rise through some of the different guilds and make use of everything on offer.
Still, for anyone who likes RPGs at all and wants a new way to spend their hours, then you can't go wrong with this game. While in many respects it has now been outclassed by its successor, Oblivion, it is still a great game in its own right and in my opinion is still superior in some ways. The GOTY edition has eliminated most of the bugs and includes the two expansion packs - both of which are good and add yet more hours of entertainment.

Now, I can understand why people may overlook this game. After all, it has been succeeded by Oblivion (Elder Scrolls IV). The problem with Oblivion is that many computers cannot handle the processing power required, and so the gaming experience can be flawed.
So if you haven't already tried its predecessor, why not? At sub you can't really go wrong. And it is a superb game. Unlike many 'RPG's, this game is from the first person perspective, but this forces the game to strive for graphical excellence, and it delivers. The true genius in the game is the freedom to roam, wherever you please, joining guilds etc at will, picking locks, murdering, the choice truly is yours.
You can take missions to rise through your chosen guilds, and the character development is origional and superb. You are allocated a group of skills, from armourer (notoriously difficult to 'level' up), to alchemy (invlolving the mixing of potions). So there is always scope to improve in one area.
There are so many glorious touches, such as being treated differently by the different races (especially Dark Elves in my case), countless sub-missions, the ability to make invlisibilty rings. The options are truly endless. Until this came along I have been sorely disappointed in the p.c's RPG offerings.
This however is superb. One drawback, the main plot is poor and lacklustre.
