The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY Edition

Please, add Russian language

One of the best, if not the best Elder Scrolls game ever made, hell, one of the best RPGs made, period. But personally, I have a few gripes with it myself, and no, it's not the combat system which relies on D&D-esque dice rolls, no I love that sort of thing, and no it's not the outdated graphics and weird funky animations which seem to fall somewhere in a Bizarro Uncanny Valley of sorts, it's more that it's very small, and going from Daggerfall (my first TES) into this one felt very much like a shock. The game is incredibly compact in comparison with the hugeness of Daggerfall, and thus making changes accordingly, such as removing quick travel , I'm also not much of a fan of Morrowind's landscape, I much prefer the snowy climate of the kingdoms north of Iliac Bay, such as Wayrest, but there's always Solstheim, which Skyrim players surely must visit, as it's in one of TES V's expansions, and fun fact: Skyrim's Dragonborn expansion used Morrowind's soundtrack as a throwback. Anyway, buy it, play it.

Morrowind is simply one of the greatest RPGs of all time. With its immensely dense and elaborate story, great sandboxy player liberty, and an incredibly creative open world, playing Morrowind is like drinking a fine Redoran Sujamma : Yes, it may be a little rough at the start, but you just always get new flavors each time, and after a while its downright tastefulliscious. You never tried Morrowind ? What a grand and intoxicating innocence... ! Just try it. again and again. Until you awake in House Dagoth drinking Skooma...

The story is quite good, with lots of side quests and details to explore. Sure, the graphics are a bit dated now, and the interface can be clunky, but that only adds to its charm. It’s challenging, rewarding, and perfect if you love discovering secrets and customizing your experience. Overall, Morrowind is a classic that still offers an immersive, rewarding adventure. If you’re into deep RPG worlds, this game is a gem. 5/5. I would advice you to play it with OpenMW, the free open source game engine.

...stayed for the world. When it came out and I saw the screens I thought how can a game look so unreal, it whispered to me of playing it, and I had to buy a new pc too, so it took a while. Then I disappeared from the real life at least for a month, oh how young and strong and free I was to allow myself such a thing. Of course now it looks old, still the atmosphere is unsurpassed, at least for me. All kinds of spells, creatures, the cities! The world! Go anywhere kill whatever you like, get killed, start again! The music... probably the most iconic theme in rpg games, so beautiful. The story... the story is minimal or so it seems, a cutscene now and them would've helped but I guess the story was not the point of the game, at least for me. The point of the game is to explore a gigantic world, the lore, the factions, the depression, the mystery. It has aged, but for the fans of rpg's it is must play.
