Summary: I actually played Daggerfall
Review: Now that was a good game. It had decent music, decent graphics for its time, and the characters you chose looked beautiful. This is so so in my opinion, as it is not enough better from what I've seen to warrant an overhaul of your machine (you need a Pentium 3 or more, a dvd-rom, and everything else to work well; Daggerfall ran on WIndows 95/98). I managed to get it to run even without the dvd-rom, but I wasn't really impressed. That all considered, the controls are harder to maneuver (since I didn't have a manual, I had a tough time figuring out how to talk to people), and they scrapped the default design from Daggerfall, so you have to move forward using alphanumerics instead of cursor keys. If you have a manual, and you have the specifications, it might be worth your while. Given the choice, though, I'd rather purchase Daggerfall again.

Summary: Buy this instead of Tribunal
Review: This is expansion is much more enjoyable than Tribunal, which is very claustrophobic. Bloodmoon gives you a new (large) island to explore, with an entertaining main quest and many interesting side quests. The graphics are great, and the falling snow made me feel chilled in the middle of summer.

There are a couple of small irritations. There were too many annoyingly aggressive creatures outside which made quick travel impossible unless you levitated (which I ended up doing). Of course you can't do this if you're escorting someone, which made those errands tedious. I also crashed while zoning quite a few times.

Overall, this is a worthwhile expansion pack that will add many more play hours to Morrowind.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's just so open ended...
Review: Morrowind, is an amazing game. You can follow a complex storyline or do whatever you want, roam the continent killing bandits, completing quests, or you can even be a murderer killing anyone you want and hiding from the law. Your choices are limitless.

The graphics aren't half bad either. ;-) In fact their quite good, you can even customize everything, create your own new races or weapons import graphics from 3DSMAX.

Overall it's a must play if you enjoy RPGs, or even if you don't....

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: All a single-player RPG should be... except challenging.
Review: First of all, this game is worth every penny, but I STRONGLY recommend against using any kind of spoiler material, as doing so will ruin the game in less than a nanosecond.

It's a tremendously large world, with more to do than you can possibly imagine. After months of solid play, I was still finding new dungeons.

The ability to make your own enchanted items and spells is great, it's a beautiful system that other developers should pay attention to.

A word of warning: Once you level up to the mid-level range, outdoor creatures become nothing but an annoyance, and are horrendously easy to kill. This makes outdoor travel quite boring and tedious.

Dungeons also get a bit repetitive, and they also become fairly easy once you've geared up and gained levels.

The best way to play this game is to go for quests and let levels and gear come naturally. Don't try to power-game in Morrowind, it only ruins it.

The editing tools are fantastic, and really add life to the game. Even if you don't want to make your own mods, you can download other people's creations for free on the net.

Overall, I give it 4 stars. It loses a 5 star rating because there really isn't a challenge once you figure out how to do certain things to improve your character. (example: If you know what you're doing, you can make a character with nearly unlimited strength who can fly at high speeds and take almost no damage.)

Again though, don't read spoiler sites, or you'll find yourself bored with the game almost immediately.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Game
Review: Pretty much the title says it all. This game is evolutionary. It have already set the standard for all role playing games have to be. The open game play is a get idea. The player doesn't have to play the main story. You could do anything you want in this game its your chose.

It is recommend for you to get the book. Its extremely helpful on finding where you need to go and what do to. The game doesnt really do a great job in helping you.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great game
Review: I absolutly loved this game. If you have played Bethdesa's previous products (Arena Daggerfall) and like them then you will love this one. You will need a good graphics board to get the full effect. The graphics are exceptional. The sound is great. I really got the feel for the game. The only complaints that I would have with it is that it can be too large. The monsters will be the same over and over after awhile to a point where it can be tedious. Once you have played this for a longer period of time your character can become almost invincible for the end monster.
I haven't had a chance to play the expansion packs yet.

Summary: A honey
Review: "The Tribunal" refers to a Morrowind-specific concept, and Tribunal the expansion pack is a marvellous add-on to an existing world.

The city of light and magic is located at an unknown spot in the world and while you are there the world map is of no use. Instead of a "world" you are transported to a mega-city, which sports distinct styles of architecture and fashion, with a separate temple, government, underground sewers, and marketplace.

I actually got the expansion pack bundled with the Morrowind game, and I would recommend playing Tribunal together with the main Morrowind quest to enhace your freedom. Unfortunately since Tribunal has a rather one-dimensional plot, if you wait to tackle Tribunal until you've exhausted Morrowind you may be disappointed when you want a distraction from doing the nth chore for the same group of people.

Playing this way is also more fun since assassins from Tribunal escape to Morrowind to hunt you down, giving new characters some welcome and expensive goodies that can fetch a nice price when sold.

The artwork of Tribunal is breathtaking, and especially the gruff Ordinators wear a fashion that is the pinnacle of elegant taste. Tribunal also brings back the Dark Brotherhood, familiar to Daggerfall fans, complete with signature armor that is eerily awe-inspiring.

A beautiful addition to Morrowind, a great place to explore, and a load of fun with new rules to learn in order to win.

Summary: This game ROCKS!!!!!!!!!
Review: I played this game at my cousins and loved it. You can pick your own skills, or, if your lazy, you can just pick out a premade character layout. There are THOUSANDS of different weapons, armor, and spells. The graphics are the best I've seen. The only problem is how your stamina runs out. Come January 1st, I'll have this game for myself!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: As if the original did make me enough of a slave!
Review: Morrowind alone is amazing, but now we have Bloodmoon! That's right, you get to be a werewolf! The main quest in Bloodmoon can be done as either a human or werewolf, and how you get to the end will vary slightly. The first time I did it, I stayed human. By the near ending of the quest, I was literally saying "whoa!" out loud to myself. I'm trying not to give anything away here, so stick with me! Bloodmoon is very hard, and sometimes very frustrating. Then you get near the end and you are SO glad you didn't give up. The last few quests have you running around feeling like your racing time, even though you aren't. My heart was in my throat. It was just awesome!

My boyfriend came over the next day and played through as a werewolf. The werewolf scenario was more frustrating for him. He found that being a werewolf, the quests were VERY hard and thus very frustrating. However, they were still pretty cool. And being a werewolf, you run around panting like crazy with tunnel vision like a wild animal! You can jump really high and such. Just running around is a kick.

The very last quest is extremely difficult, and will probably be very frustrating. Both I and my boyfriend have yet to beat it. It's worth it though. Bloodmoon really pulls you in!

Other fun stuff about Bloodmoon: snow, new monsters, new weapons, new stuff to explore, help build a colony, one line of quests even ends with you running the show and choosing where your own house at the colony will be built! Also, why not search for the fabled Soveigngard? The 'heaven' of the Nords!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This game ROCKS!
Review: This game is so cool I want to have its children!

Graphically speaking, it's a piece of art. Day/night, thunder/sand storms depending on where in the world you are, amazing sunrises and sunsets, two moons which move in the sky as well as wax a wane like real moons, beautiful cities, scary caves, sewers, dungeons, pretty forests, relaxing lagoons for pearl diving... I could go on forever.

Go on the main quest, or run around doing whatever you want... or both! So much game time it's insane. Lots of flexibility in choosing characters. Right now I'm working on a vampire character! I as specialy like the fact that I can be a female or male ANYTHING, unlike some "RPG" games I've played. Spells... you can make almost anything you want. Magical items, lots of weapons, even tons of clothing to choose from! Read up on Morrowind history, plays, fiction, etc. by reading books you find in the game. I love this game!

And if that's not good enough, open up the editor that comes with the game and make yourself a plugin! Want to make a new guild? New dungeon? Maybe a completely new island? Go right ahead! Or download other people's plugins online. Some plugins include new races (dwarves, angels, etc.), new areas to play, new clothes/weapons/armor, etc., Theif-like game play (i.e. people can't see you when you are in the shadows, etc.) and lots more! You can even make your own dream house!

Also, I would like to say that someone complained that their weapon didn't always hit their enemy. That's because your agility [stinks]!
