I had played The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind quite a while ago on a friends Xbox and to be honest I was not really impressed by the game the first time I played it. The gameplay seemed boring and drab, and the story just seemed like an endless array of pointless quests. However, after playing the outstanding Elder Scrolls: Oblivion on that same friends PC, I started to think about the previous venture into the world of The Elder Scrolls and wondered if I had given that game a fighting chance. After much deliberation, I decided to purchase the game (and its two expansions) for my laptop. I was worried that such a huge game would really tax my computer's gaming power, but the game is just old enough (or is it maybe the graphics are just crappy enough) that the game played smooth without any problems. It was after all of this that I realized that I made a huge mistake with this game. Morrowind swept me away into another world, full of gods, demons, heroes, fantasy and nasty villains where anything seems possible. Sure the graphics may not be on par with Oblivion, but to be honest I think the story is even better! I found myself spending hours, days, and weeks questing and exploring this seemingly endless world uncovering the deep and occasionally very dark secrets of Morrowind's vast history that spans thousands of years. Playing this game is like going on an adventure each time you start, and there seems to always be new and fun surprises! I must be completely honest with you, that...well...I cheated on this game...a lot. For such a vast world that needs lots and lots and LOTS of exploration why would they start you off so weak and make you run sooo darn slow??? Enter the mighty console (thank Lord Vivec!). Despite how great this game is...it still has many, many flaws. Not just graphically (clipping can be a little weird) but with gameplay. Sometimes the gameplay can get a little repetitive, a simple hack and slash motion every time you attack seems like the developers could have put a little more time and thought into the combat...but what do I know. Probably my biggest gripe begins with two words CLIFF RACERS; the name alone makes me want to kill someone. Of all the games flaws, putting these obnoxious, annoying, utterly pointless creatures in the game for almost constant interruption is simply unneeded. I have looked for mods on several occasions that would remove those gosh darn creatures from the game, but have had no luck. I've learned to just live with them and their shrieks that make you want to commit suicide (just kidding of course). Anyways, Morrowind is a truly great game and the expansions only get better and more interesting, ending with the triumphant Bloodmoon, which I personally think is the best of the Morrowind games (and the most polished and fun to play). I overlooked a truly great game but redeemed myself by purchasing it for my pc. Morrowind is an epic and amazing adventure game that I hope hasn't been too quickly forgotten amongst this new era of games.

This game will give you hours of fun and ther are a ton of mods to keep you busy even after you beat the game

I recently got my xbox stolen so i picked up the PC version of this game, games awesome, dont like the controls.

Its a large game and while you should give it a chance I would say that its expansion packs are much better. While the game is incredibly complex and very time consuming it can be incredibly frustrating. The cities do have their own individual stamp and you will have a lot of fun running around adventuring but after you run around some caves and kill some zombies.

The main problem with this game is the shear size of the environment you will often have to haul something incredibly valuable like heather or golden kornet across half the continent.

Another problem that I had with the was the fact that while the cities have a distinct look of their own in the countryside there is no way to distinguish from one anonymous cave to another.

My final problem with the game is that while you have the option to take multiple quests to take over the various guilds when you win and after you have put all your effort into the quests the only reward you get is a bunch of people going "Yes Master" and "How can I be of assistance Master?"

Overall-While it can sometimes be very fun especially the expansion packs the combat can be awkward and the daring hikes over long distances will get really old really fast. Make sure you have a top of the line system it can cause problems in the form of frustrating load times.

This game is a predecessor to Oblivion, this game is in either first or third person perspective, and although the graphics are dated if you want to play an rpg that has a good length and has a wealth of user made content this game is something you need to look into.
