The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY Edition

I've spent more time playing this game than any other. I still haven't seen it all. The sense of wonder is still with me when I think about the city in the southeast of the map that looks like Vivec but that I never explored, or the Tribunal expansion that I never even finished. This is the game that defined the paradigm that subsequent Elder Scrolls games have refined and streamlined. However, beyond its expansiveness, I wonder what value, if any, this game would bring to a modern first-time gamer. The combat, characters, and quest -- after experiencing several dozen of them -- reveal themselves to be quite primitive. The game is truly more of a sandbox than a simulation of a living world, and my playthroughs often degenerated, sooner or later, into efforts to exploit the spell & potion systems. I think it's worth experiencing if you have the time to put aside, but the first impression may be jarring, and there may not be enough depth here to justify the investment.

Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is an amazing game. The other reviewers have touched on all the things that made it great. This game was originally made for PC - then later ported to consoles. After that, Bethesda lost their edge. Now, they cater to the console players (hand holding, scaling enemies so as not to be too hard, etc.). I have attempted to play Oblivion, Skyrim, and Fallout - they just don't hold a candle to this title. Sure, they have flashy new graphics, but they don't have the feel or the story found here. By far, one of my all time favorites.

You buy! You run around slowly and miss constantly cause you no know how to play. Its great!

I really love this game. Well I love Elder Scrolls. Morriwind is cool. It really look like another wolrd, It really have soul and spirit of adventures. And POWER OF MAGIC.

I give this game a 4 out of 5 because no game is perfect. In what ways this game is not perfect? The music is only 45 minutes long for a game that does not tell you when to finish your daily gaming time with this work of art, the bugs with the followers, the problem with the text font that now looks horrible while with the old bulky monitors it had a reason to be like that. But I would say that the most important problem is the game does to you after you completed the main quest the first time, the world you just experienced in your heart, that emotional bang. I hope Bethesda amends this, for the sake of us all, because now what I most miss is not the countless hours that happpened afterwards, but the first 30-minute-gameplays.
