The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY Edition

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!

More and more these days I'm seeing people acknowledge Morrowind as a great game. Before, it was overshadowed by it's brothers Oblivion and Skyrim, but with the ESO dlc coming out, it seems more people are checking it out before they sink into that one. I got this game last year, after playing an extensive amount of the aforementioned TES titles, with a craving for more. I got into Morrowind, and the first thing I noticed was that it was a different game than its successors. I realized this and kept playing. Before I even realized it, I was sunk deep into the world of this game. I have never played a game for so long on Steam, knocking over 300 hours on it, and every hour was interesting in some way. Morrowind fundamentally is built differently than its sequels. It's goal is to be an RPG with it's own unique world. It was supposed to contrast the enviroments shown in the previous games in the series, being generic grassy mountains, but here we have an alien world with giant jellyfish, fleas, and mushrooms all over it. You have a volcano at the center with evil lurking around every corner, and deserts of ash surrounding it. You have three great houses fighting over full political power of the island. You have a foreign group moving in trying to influence their culture, with two of the great houses trying to push them back. You have a false god growing to power in the harsh depths of the volcano. It's beautifully written with a total alien world, ditching the Tolkien fantasy most rpgs are known for. The writing is excellent. The game does not hold your hand, it has you trying to figure out how this strange world works, and how the game mechanics work. The creation and customization of your character hits that sweet spot of being complex but not being too complex. While what I describe sounds great, the game is definitely flawed. The combat is often criticized, the graphics are very dated, the dialogue is basically a wiki page, but it's still a masterpiece in its own right. Even though it's flawed, it's still amazing. Go and buy this game right now. It's too amazing. Try to get past all the flaws the game you will find a unique and interesting rpg experience that it worth your time. 5 stars.

A game in which one your hero can follow the path you want because it is an open world but also because your character have a lot of skills to learn. The world is vast and the story deep and intersting.
