Summary: Better than most
Review: The people that are not happy with this game fail to give you any kind of alternative. This game has flaws in the types of creatures encountered and perhaps the method of level advancement but in comparison to BG it is really much better. The only thing BG has is a better party system. Morrowind is limited to one party member but has has a much more "open" storyline. You can do whatever you want with your character for as long as you want. The playing area is HUGE! I've been playing it for about a month and have only explored a quarter of the map. The encounters become a bit simplistic at higher levels but I can live with that. If you enjoy exploring and looting then this game is for you. If you want detailed encounters with NPCs then you should look elsewhere. I would say the NPCs are on par with BG (If you exclude the number of people in your party; Morrowind is a solo game). It's worth 30 bucks.

Summary: Amazing Fun!
Review: The Elder Scrolls 3 is an amazing game. Your first question would be "Who are you in the game and what do you do with this person?" Your answer would be "Whoever you want and whatever you want." The Elder
scrolls is a great game that anybody can enjoy.

Summary: Live a second life
Review: The Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind is the best game I have ever played. You can virtually do anything that you want like walking around killing the populous or following the main quest and being the games legendary hero. There are plenty of other quests you can follow and you can join guilds to become an even more in-depth citizen of the island of Vvardenfell. If you get tired of searching the game for great weapons or other stuff you can just use the editor to make yourself the extra super-powerfull weapons that you need to beat the final enemy: Dagoth Ur. Unlike many other games, Morrowind's editor is extremely user friendly making altering the game for your better intrest a piece of cake. This game is far superior to any other RPG on the market. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Summary: money pit.
Review: My review will be short, full of acid and to the point. This game was suppose to tbe a crhistmast preasent from my mom and dad only to find out that the screen only goes up to 24 true color. Now I have to buy a new video card so I can play it and say if I like it or not. READ THE SYSTEM REQUIRMENTS CARFULLY!!! and for those of you who have enough money to burn and have intel 4's and windows XP well good for you but us mere mortals don't have that kind of money to spend.

Summary: Morrowind Review
Review: Morrowind is overall a great game, though it has some flaws.
The combat system is a little bit clumsy and this makes it difficult to fight bug after bug as you run through from one place to another. For those of you who are impatient and like to find out the plot immediately, this game will really annoy you. You must complete many quests that aren't really that interesting just to continue learning piece by piece the main storyline. The best part about this game is the detailed conversations you can have with normal people who are simply standing around. They have opinions about you depending upon what you do/say, which helps you roleplay much easier. I would say that fighting is the game's lowpoint, in what I said before and that simple commoners take about 10 or so hits to kill depending on your level. This can be very frustating, and the guards in cities are very difficult and only give you 3 options once you are caught for doing something wrong: resist arrest, pay fine, or go to jail. Despite my many complaints about it, Morrowind is incredibly complex and I am mainly saying what's wrong with it so those of you reading it will know what to expect before you buy it. Morrowind has pleasant background music and is overall quite fun to play. Plus, you can customize your own character classes and using the construction set that comes on the second CD, you can create npcs and races, which after some practice, can be done and is a nice addition to the game. Overall I would give it a 9.5/10 score.

Summary: This is the new era of RPG's
Review: This game gave me a new view of RPGs. RPGs are known for their story or plot but this game doesn't force to to proceed head first into the story instead you have time to make your mark in the world (for good OR bad)you can become a notorious thief or a well thought of nobleman. There is a certain way to enroll yourself into the story, but I don't know how. It has many opportunities to steal or help or become a mass murder of the populis(the guards are VERY hard to beat so i don't advise that) overall this game has one more difference First Person not so common with a sword and medieval game. This game is a must have for any hardcore RPGer.

Summary: Great game, but crashy crashy
Review: The Elder Scrolls series (especially Daggerfall) has been notorious for its bugginess, and Morrowind is no exception. I've had the game crash literally every two or three minutes at its worst. Right now I've tweaked it up to where it crashes every 15-20 minutes or better, which is tolerable. You can find some INI file tweaks at the Bethesda site--posted by other gamers, not Bethesda--that do make a difference. Also, you MUST have the latest drivers for your system, and even then you might have problems. I suspect the game generates too much heat for my (quite powerful) system, because it seems to crash less at night when it's cold out and I have my screen door open. Having said that, I also have to say that Morrowind is worth the effort. The graphics are astonishing (though it's disappointing that rain is not deflected by shelters you might be standing under). I've always dreamed of a CRPG where every building looks different inside, and here it is! The game's flexibility ensures that you'll be able to replay it as often as you like--especially with all the add-ons and plug-ins available now. Unlike what a previous poster said, the magic IS worthwhile, though of course it helps to create one's own spells rather than rely exclusively on the ones you can buy from individuals. The plot's not bad at all--compared to the one that came with Neverwinter Nights, it's positively genius. And combat can require considerably more strategy than that in NN, especially if you're not running a buff fighter. I do miss Daggerfall's greater character creation flexibility--I'd like to tweak the character's stats more than Morrowind allows--and the NPC dialogue system is awkward, especially in big cities where you have a lot of things to talk about. I also miss being able to climb walls and things. On the other hand, potion creation is a lot more useful and interesting in Morrowind than it was in Daggerfall. So are books, some of which give you points toward your skills now. (Hint: it's the expensive ones.) Oh, and USE THE POSTER-MAP THAT CAME WITH THE GAME!!! I can't stress this enough. The one within the game itself is useful but too small to give a good overview of this huge world. And the paper map notes relatively small places that are easy to miss. I spent forever looking for a tiny outpost, died at one point, restored the game, came up facing a different direction, and discovered that I'd been standing right next to the entrance and never noticed. Anyway, if you can stand the frequent crashes (learn to save after EVERYTHING), the game is definitely worth spending a lot of time with.

Summary: Check For Graphic Card Before Buying
Review: I could not even play it! I have a HP less then a year old, with over 512Ram and 1.3ghz processor. My graphics card is unsupported even though it is a name brand card. There is a huge list of ones that are not supported. Go to the Bethesda Softworks website before buying and make sure you will be able to use it. Nothing is worse than spending money on a game that will be used as a cup coaster.

Summary: Read System Reqs Before You Buy!
Review: Overall: A fun, buggy world to explore at your convenience!
TECHNICAL: -- Computer needs to EXCEED minimum requirements.
-- Buggy. Crashes often, even with patch.
-- Patch available at Bethesda's website. With a p2 450mhz, I can't play the blasted thing on my pc. Unlike many other programs where a minimum requirement isn't really minimum at all, it appears that Morrowind MUST be played on a computer that doesn't just match these mins, but exceeds them. How so? I've now attempted to play this game on four different computers (three of which exceed the min reqs)... the game crashes at least once a session (which, for me, is usually about 3-5 hours) no matter which computer I use. GRAPHICS: -- Pretty scenery. Incredible weather!
-- Player has choice in Character's wardrobe. (Okay. That as a perk may simply be a "girl" thing)
-- Character graphics aren't up to par. (Good but no where as good as the scenery) Ooo. Pretty. You'll read a lot of other people with more informed opinions tell you about the graphics so I'll keep this part short. Graphics on here are pretty nifty. Weather looks *incredible*. I swear, the first time I saw twilight in Morrowind, I actually stopped playing for about 5 minutes and just watched. For a moment, I could have sworn I was outdoors in a place far, far away. :-) SOUND: -- Music is good but very monotonous
-- Stereo sound gives you a chance to determine where a particular sound (footstep/animal/whatnot) is coming from GAMEPLAY: -- Quake-like battles
-- Go anywhere. Do anything. Just be prepared to face consequences of your actions.
-- Like a MUD: you decide which quests, if any, you choose to do. There is a major story arc but it takes quite a while to present itself and even then, doesn't even seem to be SO much the focus of the game.
-- Construction Kit: using Bethesda's hard work as a foundation, you can make your own plugins (add a race! Add an area!) and actually circulate it on the internet. Cool beans. Battles are more akin to first person shooters than standard RPGs. I've seen a few other reviews where people have trashed this aspect of the game, but I thought it was pretty cool. I guess it all depends on how you feel about Quake. Basically, you are set loose upon this world. What you do with it is up to you. This can be EXTREMELY frustrating if you prefer to have a set story arc (such as if you love the firm structure of Final Fantasy and can't imagine being thrown into something and stumbling onto quests by chance). CHARACTERS: -- Customize your character from the gender, class, race, and more!
-- True free will. You are free to be noble or a brute or otherwise!
-- Classes are extremely customizable. (Is that even a word?) So much so, in fact, that class seems to become more of a title than an actual career that binds your character. I suspect they spent a bit more time doing the scenery than working on the characters. Nothing really to gripe about, but I thought I'd mention it. FEMALE PERSPECTIVE: -- Yes, you *can* play a female!
-- NPCs respond to a female char. One huge frustration for many people who like to play female chars is that many games ignore us... or treat our beloved femme as though she was a male. In Morrowind, Bethesda widens the female perspective quite a bit. It isn't as in-depth as one would hope it would be in a RPG, but it beats the pants off of many games out there. CONCLUSION: Morrowind is a heck of a lot of fun. Bethesda aims to create a truly RPG-friendly world and they succeed. In fact, one could even argue that they succeed so well that this world starts to become a little less like fantasy and more frustrating like real life. Eeep. *grin* With a little more work, this game could have actually been worthy of 5 stars, but, in the end, the bugs and problems in gameplay set this puppy back so far that it was this-close to getting a three.
