The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY Edition

Only picked this up a year ago on a recommendation, and with a bit of modding and a tolerance for walls of text, I’ve come to enjoy this game for what is it now, still a blast to play. 4 Stars as it’s outdated, but the story telling never gets old.

I'm just getting into RPGs and they've recommended this game. So far so good. I couldn't get it to run with Wine on linux and I found OpenMW which can extract the game data from the GOG installation and lets you play on Linux.

The combat doesn't hold up well, but as it stands, Morrowind is the prime Elder Scrolls experience, featuring everything that makes the franchise brilliant, and without sacrificing the essence and personality of itself or the genre it inhabits. An essential buy.

This is the third episode of The Elder Scrolls, while it is the first TES game whose lore was mainly designed by Michael Kirkbride. That man is awesome. He made The Elder Scrolls distinguish from those old-school, DND like fantasy RPGs and created a mysterious and dramatic Tamriel. Though out of fashion in graphic, system ,etc. You still deserve a try.

I honestly think Morrowind is the best game I've ever played. This is because I understand how it works. Many people who come to this game from later entries in the series don't understand it and so, they don't like it. I have no intention of giving anyone a hard time. I would just like to invite people to learn how this game works and then play it. It's a wonderful experience with infinite replay value!
