The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY Edition

Grę kupiłem w wersji pudełkowej 14 lat temu. I były to bardzo dobrze wydane pieniądze. ZALETY: Ogromny otwarty świat dający niemal nieograniczone możliwości kreacji postaci. Na samym starcie coś koło dwóch tysięcy możliwości parametrów początkowych postaci (kombinacje z: płeć, klasa, rasa, znak zodiaku) Kilkanaście organizacji do których możemy wstąpić (jedna jest obowiązkowa i wynika z wątku głównego) W wersji pudełkowej Construction set pozwalający programować własne dodatki do gry, (swego czasu dodatki dostępne do pobrania z forów miłośników Morka) WADY: nieco kanciasta grafika (nie bądźmy zbyt wymagający, gra jest z 2002 roku)

Oh, Morrowind. To say I've bought and paid for this title in full at least 5 times over would not be exaggeration. To say I've spend blood, tears, and toil on the same would be fair as well. Two decades devoted to this game and I'm still as ardent an admirer as the day we met. It's a brutal beast- unforgiving, and unapologetic, alien and unflinching in its disdain for any brazen soul that expects a gently held hand upon leaving the Excise office, but there is such depth, outlander, so much for you to explore, to unearth. More usefully: The UI is wonderful. The world is the story is the Island is all, and entwine magnificently, and I still find new things to this day, though I swear to you I've combed every inch of every polygon of this game. The immersion is immense, and for those sensitive to such matters, the mod community has brought the graphics up to date beautifully. The roleplay, ah. The mechanics a roleplayers heaven. The *battle* mechanics themselves now are somewhat clunky and may take adjusting to. They have their own charm in my opinion, but not everyone agrees. Still, the die-roll based hit chance is a sharp surprise if accustomed to newer titles. All told, it's worth trying. It's acquired taste perhaps, but it's a very fine meal.

A true masterpiece. Real shame Bethesda never came close to making game like this again.

The most charming and nostalgic of the Elder Scrolls games. This is a real RPG where you have to use your head with no quest markers or "points of interest". A real old-school RPG with awesome senses of exploration and quite deep roleplaying opportunities. Morrowind is such a cool setting in Elder Scrolls as well. Overall, a brilliant game from the golden era...before horse armor (ironically from Bethesda).

If you wish to pick any of the older Elder Scrolls games, take Morrowind. Let's start with the obvious: Ignore the screenshots above. Get some of the free graphics and sound mods - it will change everything. Morrowind is one of the games that aged well, for it never tried to copy the looks of real world or even classic fantasy creatures and places to begin with. Instead, each and all in this game is bizarre enough to be its own thing - which helps immersion to this very day. It is also not your classic fantasy story, but one of the most "outlandish" games available. One where you don't know what to expect - a story that actually makes you feel like you entered a strange foreign place that begs to be explored. Not much more to say, except that (obviously) it is still a Bethesda game, which means there are some filler quests - as usual - and you just HAVE to try some of the sheer endless list of mods to tweak (and fix) the game to your liking as this is a huge part of what made this game entertaining in the first place. And tons of content that will expand the game way beyond double or even triple the 80 hours advertised above. All in all, the game is still good value for its price.
