Summary: Would be better if it didn't crash all the time
Review: I really wanted to like this game. Really! Friends of mine had shown me the gorgeous graphics, and said that the replay value was endless.The problem was I never got though it once. If you had the sound on, it crashed every 10-20 minutes. If you turned the sound off, you might get away with 30 minutes of continuous play. After several hours of this, applying every patch and every suggestion, I gave up.

Summary: A Look at the Strategy Guide
Review: I recently discovered the Morrowind Game of the Year strategy guide and thought that players would like to know that it exists and is worth looking into if you are becoming perplexed by the challenges of what is probably the world's most detailed RPG. This is the first guidebook that can cause sudden-game-depression. You start out in one city on the continent of Vvardenfell play for 20 or so hours and you begin to realize that you have covered exact four tiny squares on the map. And the more you wander, the more you find. Eventually you decide you want to get on with it, but it gradually becomes clear that you aren't quite sure what 'it' is. You break down, by the guide, and you finally realize that Morrowind and its subgames are inconceivably huge. There are hundreds of cities, dungeons, fortresses, monsters, and NPCs. All with individual stories. And the only way you have any hope of finding all of them is to wander forever or buy the guide. The guide provides heavily annotated maps, and descriptions of all the major and minor quests. Various hints, and even discussions about what to do in Morrowind between tasks (go out and kill a few diseased crabs). Even with all 400 pages, I doubt that the guide covers much more than half the possibilities. The scouring of Vvardenfell could take years of play. Even with everything that is in the guide, there is yet more that I would like to have seen. In particular, indexes and where found guides. I guess the publishers decided that anything more than 400 pages would scare away the average buyer. Seriously, though, a guide is almost a necessity if you want to get full values from the game without dedicating your life to it. It is well written and organized. I would have preferred better quality printing but not at the price it likely would have cost. If you get a chance pick it up, it will greatly increase your appreciation of the game.

Summary: Superlative!
Review: I'm not surprised to see all superlative reviews here. The depth of play is incredible, the graphics stunning, and the gigantic landscape map is a joy to explore. This is exactly my idea of a game that has the ability to engross you for, yes, years of exploring. And with all of the plug-in mods already available on the Net as well as the ability to make your own stuff to integate into the game with the Construction Set- well......you get the picture. Get this game.

Summary: Not just a simple rpg
Review: I've had this game for months and still never feel bored playing it. I just recently completed the main quest after all these months because there is so much you can do in addition to the main story. I spent a lot of time simply messing around with character ideas just because the system leaves a lot of room to play with. More recently Ive been checking out Mods people have made for the game through the contstruction set and from what I've seen, the mods made through the contstruction set merge very well into the game itself and I am now looking into trying out the construction set myself to add a completely new dimention to my Morrowind experience. What also sets Morrowind above other rpgs is the incredible graphics offered. Everything including the weather looks very realistic and beautiful. The first time I saw the night sky in the game, I just stood there and stared. The only problem you might have is that you do need an upper end PC to fully enjoy everything, but Morrowind is also available on X-box for those with older machines. This is a game is a purchase you won't regret.

Summary: The Most Amazing RPG World Ever
Review: If you're looking for an action-thriller, shoot-em up FPS crossover, hit back and keep looking. If you're looking for an intelligent, detailed, intriguing RPG operating system, this is it! The original Morrowind with its expansions Tribunal and Morrowind are absolutely phenomonal and will keep you in their world for literally hundreds and hundreds of hours. It is possible to play the game for hours a day for months and still not have done everything. The best part is the Construction Set that comes with the game. This allows amateurs to build new areas, sculpt and decorate terrain, create new weapons, buildings, quests, NPCs, and absolutely everything you could ever think of. Theoretically, the game never ends. It's not just the best RPG you'll ever play, it is truly a gaming operating system. I can't tell you anything that the editorial review doesn't already mention, but I can recommend this game if you've ever been into gaming where your thoughts involve more than "which gun should I use to blow the next guy's head off...?" Prepare to be immersed in the world of The Elder Scrolls III!

Summary: Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind
Review: Morrowind is probably the most beautiful RPGs (role-play games) that I have ever played. Your character moves seamlessly through a huge world, zoning (loading) new areas only on occasion. Also, each area of the world holds its own charms. No two areas of the world are exactly alike. Of Morrowind's strengths, your character may pursue every skill in the game regardless of class (like warrior or mage). Your character can learn a large number of spells and may even design his/her own (you can even make your own magical equipment). Throughout the game, your character is presented with a large number of choices which s/he may do is s/he pleases or not. For all intensive purposes, you may play your character as a good or evil character. Of Morrowind's weaknesses, the game can be extremely long if you decide to take on all of the side quests. And, quests in the game eventually get to the point where they seem to be just endless stops around the world. I found that combat in the game was without a doubt best handled by a warrior type - the power of spells was not significant compared to a sword and purchasing custom enchanted items. Lastly, although I'll say nothing more of it, I found the ending to be slightly disappointing. The "final battle" was possibly the coolest I've ever seen, but the story there after left me hanging. Despite all of its weaknesses, I have not seen a quality computer RPG like this in a long time. The game continues to draw you in throughout the storyline. I would compare the quality of this game to that of Ultima 7. With the Game of the Year addition now available and the extra content added, the price for this game makes it a great deal for an RPGer looking for a game to play.

Summary: Don't Hesitate
Review: Morrowind is quite simply one of the best RPGs of all time. For those who haven't played it, this collection is an insanely good deal, and you shouldn't even think twice about getting it. The minute you start Morrowind you know that this is a game unlike any other. Your character can be one of ten races, each distinct in appearance and abilities. You can create your own classes, emphasizing any of 26 skills and eight attributes. As you enter the vast fully-3D world you advance your character by practicing and improving chosen skills. This makes it practically impossible to create the exact same character more than once. The game world is simply gigantic- Morrowind has a huge landmass that takes you upwards of a half hour to run from one end to the other. The expansions Tribunal and Bloodmoon (included in this edition) add the additional Mournhold city and Solstheim island. All of the areas are chock full of enemies, caverns, tombs, ruins, and non-player characters. Many of these give you quests, which have rewards varying from gold to unique items. There are hundreds of quests, weapons, items, objects, and distinct locations in the game. I've played Morrowind for hundreds of hours and still occasionally come across something I have never seen! The main story of Morrowind is well done and quite involved, and Tribunal and Bloodmoon add additional main quests to the plot. However, unlike every other RPG I've played, it's not at all compulsory to complete them. In fact, you can simply go gallivanting about Vvardenfell doing whatever you see fit- and have a good time at it too. There's plenty of towns and people to talk to (and, naturally, to kill) and side quests to complete. You can join one of three Great Houses and build a stronghold for yourself, or join any of a half dozen other factions- all with unique missions and rewards. Morrowind's graphics are awesome- the detail in the objects has to be seen to be believed. There isn't a single sprite in the entire game, and both characters and terrain are all extremely well done. The game world is thickly populated with all manner of persons and objects, and you can explore in either first or third person. This can be a problem, however, if your system isn't up to it. If you can't see all the pretty graphics, the game isn't so fun, so be sure you exceed the recommended system specifications. Morrowind needs everything your PC has- there really is no such thing as too much power with this game. In particular, the game looks a lot better if your graphics card can run full-screen antialiasing with it. Admittedly, combat in Morrowind is rather straightforward and can get a bit dull. You can shoot, hack, or nuke things up at will, and the ability to create customized weapons and spells makes this fun in a Diablo-esque way. Fighting isn't really the best part of the game, though. Rather, the freedom is. You can go anywhere and do anything you want in any order- a rather intoxicating degree of control that I've not seen in any other game. In fact, I should warn new players that after playing Morrowind other games- especially other RPGs- will seem extremely constricting due to the lack of freedom. That said, there's another 'best' part of the game. That is the customizability of Morrowind and the jaw-dropping amount of fan content already available for download. With the editor you can change almost anything in the game. With that and 3D Studio MAX you CAN change everything in the game- and people have done so. Everything from total conversions to monster additions, new items, new objects, new quests and areas, and even new races and appearances are available for download. Due to the very intuitive plugin system, addition of this content is simple (the only problem being potential conflicts in plugins). If you take the time to learn a bit about it, you can make your own items and locations with the editor. Another warning here- this is more addictive than most narcotics, and once you start you'll always see something else that 'needs improvement.' It is not unheard of for 'players' to spend more time editing Morrowind than actually playing it. Last of all, the soundtrack is definitely worth mentioning. Jeremy Soule (Icewind Dale, Total Annihilation, Neverwinter Nights) has composed one to remember. Best of all, it's all there in mp3 format, and you can customize it as well. Even if you're not that much into RPGs, Morrowind is sure to hold your attention for a very good, long time. While it's initially not much of a challenge to play and there are a few sub-optimal features, these problems can (and have been) addressed with the editor. Though it lacks multiplayer mode, the game will almost certainly have you hooked for as long as any game with multiplay, and then some. There's a good reason there's no 'hours of play' figure on the box- this, like almost everything else with Morrowind, is completely up to you. Morrowind is probably the best PC game ever released, in terms of sheer entertainment value. It's almost certainly one of the top ten RPGs of all time. If your computer can handle it, you should definitely pick up a copy.
