Summary: If you can run it
Review: I originally gave this game 1 star because when I loaded it, it didn't work (as you may have read from some other people). I'm running a P3-1GHz, 256MB Ram, Windows ME, with a 64Meg GeForce2 Video card and the game crashed everytime after character developement. It would do this even after updating all my drivers as Bethesda recommended as a fix action, nothing worked and I just gave up. Last weekend I upgraded to Windows XP and decided to see if Morrowind would run again. WOW! it did! This is one of the better games I've played. It's fairly easy to control and very open ended. It deserves 5 stars but I had to deduct one for not working on ME when it should have. I recommend this game only if you're running XP.

Summary: The best RPG to date
Review: There has been alot of grumble recently about how buggy this game is, but I can say that after 10 hours of strait playing I have had no crashes or anyother technical problems. Here is my configuration:amd 1800+ \266a chipset
geforce 4 440 ddr
WINXP
SOUND BLASTER LIVE As an avid gamer I would highly recomend before you load any next generation game on your computer, you should update all drivers for your computer and possibly do some maintance like defrage, scandisk, etc. The ONLY problems I found were a couple of broken quests where I completed the quest, but cannot obtain the reward becuase the NPC thinks I havnt done what was asked. Other than that, I could not ask anything more of Morrowind. This game is full of RPG satisfaction!!

Summary: The Game Designer Must've Quit Halfway Into the Game
Review: The graphics are beautiful. The early game is challenging to frustrating. The world is huge and they've got a lot of story behind the game. Unfortunately, things get ugly. The combat system is really messed up. Messed up to the point where one asks "What were they thinking?" There's a paucity of monsters higher than level 20 in the land. Most monsters are geared toward early level characters. There's wonderful equipment left unguarded or lightly guarded all over the place. You can become invincible with little effort. Characters also level FASTER as they get higher as opposed to the inverse. Okay, the combat is weak but this is an RPG. People play Morrowind for the story. Things aren't much better here. You rise to the top of your guild and nobody cares. The only time you get any different interaction from NPCs for this is when talking to other guild members about your guild. Talk to anyone else or talk to guild members about anything else and you get the same tired lines you got before. Other NPCs are still rude to you. Rise to the top of a house and it's the same story. Finish the main quest and nothing changes here either. Morrowind's open-ended because nothing you do matters.

Summary: Finally, a good CRPG
Review: Many CRPGs seem to substitute combat on rails for an actual experience. That's fine for plot-thin games such as Dungeon Seige or Diablo: there's nothing wrong with hack-n-slash-fests. However, Morrowind doesn't railroad you onto a particular course, and the freedom is refreshing. This game does require some work on your part to get it up to speed. Upgrading my motherboard and video drivers easily doubled the framerates of the game, and greatly increased its stability. Morrowind apparently taxes your computer drivers in weird ways. The game itself is refreshingly open, with many quests, many of which you seem to stumble into. The world is very detailed, and seems very real. With the plug-in world architecture and the construction kit, people are already producing plugin modifications to the game. Wish you could move unrealistically fast (ala FPS games): there's a plugin for it. Want combat to be more difficult? Yep, there's several plugins out there. Want to create a new land filled with dungeons, intricate of quests, new NPCs, races, and monsters? Well, some plugins already out there do some of this, but you're welcome to create your own. Overall, I've been very impressed by this game. I can approach the world of Morrowind at the speed I want to, and I am not attacked by hordes of monsters everywhere. I appreciate the use-to-improve skill and level system. Morrowind isn't for everybody. But for people who enjoy experimenting and playing in a realistic world without being an omniscient or mostly-powerful diety will enjoy this game.

Summary: Morrowind doesn't run, don't buy this game
Review: Not only does the game not run, but Bethesda's tech support offers only the opinion that my video card might not be correct (all my hardware meets or exceeds the specifications on the box, incluidng my NVIDIA video card), or the notion that I should reinstall Direct X 8.1. I have reinstalled Direct X, both from the Morrowind CD and from Microsoft's site; the game still doesn't run. When asked to either offer a repair that will make the current game function, replace the defective game with a functioning one, or refund my money, tech support doesn't even respond. This is not a game or a company that you want to do business with.

Summary: BUYER BEWARE!!
Review: I have to rate this game one star based on the fact that is keeps crashing on me. As I write this, I've just spent over 2 hours trying to play it. The game starts fine, but always crashes before I can finish the lengthy introduction/training part of the game (at least it seems lengthy after doing it a dozen times!!). And, of course, you can't save the game during this period, so every time it crashes, I have to start all over again. This last time I got as far as the Captain welcoming me to Morrowind and giving me my first quest, but as I tried to open the door to officially start the game... you guessed it: CRASH! Now, keep in mind that I am running this game on a Pentium 4, 256 mbs of RAM and a 64 mb graphics card... and I have have no problems with other games of this type on my computer. I also lowered the rez setting and turned off all the special effects... I even re-installed the game... still crashes. It's midnight now, so I cannot call tech support, and their website section dealing with troubleshooting is "down temporarily". I bought this game through Amazon based on the reviews I read here... and everyone else seems to love it (assumming they don't all work for Bethesda Softworks)... so my complaint could be an isolated incident. Or, they put out a game that still needs alot of work. You've been warned.

Summary: All time RPG from a lifetime RPGer!
Review: I have to say that this game takes the cake when it comes to RPG's. I've played many in my life time but this one is very interesting and complex. Actually, it is only as complex as you make it. The game does hold your hand somewhat but the freedom really comes from just ignoring the main quest and jumping right into exploring all over! I expected a little more depth when it came to factions and such. It seems you can buy anyones attention in the game. It isn't as evolving as I had though. I became the Master of the Thief Guild and it didn't take me but 2 days to do it. And even then I didn't feel like I was anyone important! lol All the quests are great though, even the main one (being the toughest of course) and isn't the typical "talk to this guy then talk to that guy etc" type quests. They could of made the journal system removed quests when you finished them because really... there is WAY too many quests I end up starting then forgetting about them because I find another while in the process of completing an old one! Anyway, all in all... Great Game. Get it if you want to lose yourself (or your marriage) and dive into a real fantasy world!

Summary: Big disappointment
Review: I've been an avid gamer since the 70's. Starting with the original box sets, and happily embracing CRPG's as soon as they emerged. I was intensely excited, awaiting the arrival of Morrowind in my local retail store, and quickly bought my reserved copy as soon as it arrived. Imagine my great disappointment when I discovered the game was all hype - and no substance. First; awkward two-handed character control (one on the mouse for steering, and the other tied up on the keyboard to supply forward - or backward motion) BUMMER!!! Second; clunky, ram eating, gameplay. Some folks may not mind waiting while scenery changes freeze, then take forever to load, but I'm not one of them. I was really counting on Morrowind to feed my habit until Neverwinter Nights arrives, but no such luck. Oh well, back to Diablo.

Summary: Why release a half finished game
Review: If you are plannig to buy this game check out the elderscroll.com forums first to see the thousands of frustrated people that can't get this game running. The graphics and gameplay are next generation but the programming leaves a lot to be desired. Buy Might and Magic 9 instead
