The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY Edition

Put briefly: the gameplay is considerably worse than Skyrim and doesn't hold up that well. The world, however, is far better, and that is the single most important thing in an Elder Scrolls game. Morrowind is a truly unique setting with no direct counterpart in real-world history or well-known fantasy media.

Morrowind is like a fruit that has the sweetest pulp you could imagine but it only grows in the most excruciatingly remote location and is guarded by werebears.

This game is just too good. You can do just about anything you want, heck you can sell treasure to a crab if your ambitious enough. MSGO makes it even better.

I will be quite short. This game is amazing. It is probably the best RPG ever done. If you like open RPG, you need to play this one.

I want to write this review to adress buyers who where like me before i bought the game in 2017. First off i want to say that i have no nostalgia over this game as i have never played it before. I was drawn to this game by the forums that praised it as the godfather of freedom of choise and also the hardcore RPG element. Now that i have played that i have played the game enough, i can definately say that it delievers: freedomwise and RPGwise. RPGwise. Its an OLD school rpg that translates every single action you take as the means of leveling up. That said and for example : hit a bandit with a Short Knife and you will get rewarded by expertiese points on that weapon and you will be able to be more profficient with it. You barter with a merch and you get a 2gold discount for the item, you will be rewarded for that as well! You can buy a 10k gold piece of armor for 3400(!) as you progress. Or you can just as well be the gung ho guy who axes questions! The world you are into -Morrowind/Tamriel has depth and weight -alot of it!. You can learn about it by asking npcs or reading actual books(ingame) that are mindblowingly well writen! As there is no actual main quest line, whatever you choose to do in this game just keeps you going on to learn about what happens next and whats your standing. And last but not least the element i enjoy the most about this game. The fact that there is no exclamation point over quest giving npcs! Yep there in none! And thats what makes it so charming! It makes you learn you ways around map and pay attention to what the npc has to say. For example if an npc wants you to get to point B from point A he will give you directions that you have to follow to get there. There is alot of exploration as the map is vast and alot of role playing involved as you have to take several descisions! There are complains about the combat system. Its a dnd based system based on dice rolls. You are not hiiting, your character does! Mods Highly suggested!
