an early glimpse of the future of game depth/immersion?
who else thinks this game is a masterpiece that will set the path for games to come,... I've been playing the game now for a week straight, and if it's anything like daggerfall, I'll be playing it for months to come,...

Actually, i bought this last Saturday now I have long periods of time to fill up. Yowza. It's like some sort of sleep-eater, I'm completely hooked. I've arsed things up by completely ignoring thief skills though... and I suck at it...
It also has a lovely soundtrack.

the fold out map you get with the game is insanely usefull,... people with a pirate version of this game would have a much harder time IMO,
right now I'm walking through windy deserts above the ashlands, I'm only level six though, so if I see danger, I gotta run....

Nah, I actually know where I'm going for the most part. I love the little wooden signs that tell you what direction cities are in.

yeah, I still get lost though...
those flying 'racers' are the biggest fucking annoyance to grace the end of my blade...
take those things out of the game, and it's perfect...

this game is SOOOOO cool!!! :)
love it.
especially the old Dwemer places - all those creepy metallic sounds.
one thing I did do almost immediately is completely turn off the soundtrack - it gets very annoying quite quickly.

I ended up getting close to level 18 I think. The glass armour becomes your saviour once you find it (or steal it). The game is absolutely HUGE and insalnely open-ended.
For the sake of not falling into poverty by losing sleep, my girlfriend and my job, I chose to sell that addictive menace.

A better RPG than Star Wars: KOTOR in my opinion. I might buy Morrowind GOTY for Xbox one of these days.

plaid it for a while
got into it a bit, but something just didn't sit right.
The journals sucked a wang, for one.
I liked the open endedness of it, but I dream of a game like that with the Half Life 2 type engine.
ie. You can use your sword to cut down a branch and put it in the road if you want, and people react to it.
THAT would be the ultimate. Or busting down a door, whatever the consequences, because you have gained strength and the door is just planks.
iono, until then, it juse wasn't ulimited enough.

one thing that i liked about morrowind is that it just felt huge. it was a great change of pace from what i normally play (console rpgs), but in the long run i got bored with it. im more of a fan of plot driven game sequencing, and while morrowind has a plot, even when you start its too masked by the non linear branching off and gamestyle. almost just too expansive for me; like a good story when im playing.
then again thats just me, i still think morrowind is excellently done and worth even trying, even if i couldnt play it for long.

and who cares about the journals..? I only use them to look up info, like directions.

I actually enjoyed a bit more streamlined game like Fallout 2 even more. Planescape torment also has the fucking best story in game history. But still it was great... it was just, when the main quest was finished, everything was maxed out i was kinda like.... then what???

I forget, is Morrowind like Daggerfall where you swing your sword with the mouse? Or do you just click to attack? I liked the Daggerfall system a lot.
First person RPG's are way better than third person, and real time combat is way better than turn based by my preferences.
Morrowind was a little easy, but it had some fucking nice graphics; especially the water (if you've got a good video card). I got to like level 40 or something easy and got kind of bored. Not very much variety of equipment. The world editor is top notch though. I made a house in Balmora or whatever it was called, it was some pimp shit.

Morrowind might be the best game I've ever played. With the Tribunal and Bloodmoon expansions, there's a huge amount of things to do - something like 300 hours to complete every quest...

anyone wanna buy my copy? I was hugely disappointed by this game. It's not nearly as deep as most people claim it to be, I actually prefer Daggerfall with all it's bugs and ugly graphics. I don't even consider Morrowind to be a good looking game either, the water looks out of place compared to the rest of the graphics and the characters are poorly animated. You are about as free to do what you want to do like you are in GTA, meaning if you don't follow the main quest things tend to get boring rather quickly. So, who's willing to buy my copy of Morrowind 50% off?

Morrowind is great! The only problem, is there is lots of fuckup going on. It has to be the most unstable game i've ever played, and if you check the forum on the official game page, it's not an uncommon phenomenon.
You should also try Arcanum if you liked Fallout! Arcanum is amazingly complex and detailed!

"the water looks out of place compared to the rest of the graphics and the characters are poorly animated."
that's exactly how I feel, I for one was not impressed by the graphics of this game (except for the water) and I have a Radeon 9500 pro and plenty of processing power. Even with the graphics all the way up, there was still a lot to be desired. The faces of the humans were all ugly-gay too. Same with the orcs (granted it's more acceptable for them). I did however like how there were multiple races to choose from (the cat-people and lizards are badass) but then again, pretty much every RPG with character creation nowadays has more races than just human..
