The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY Edition

It's so immersive and left such an impact on my life that I still wake up in a cold sweat after hearing a cliff racer in my dreams

This game is fun; the quests respect the player's intelligence. There are plenty of quests and locations to explore. Sadly or happily depending on how hard you like games, there is no fast travel. This means that you have plenty of time to explore the islands of Vvardenfell and Solstheim. Recommended: Playing with opemMW, makes the game a lot better. If you are on Linux, I suggest downloading the Windows versions for your game launcher, so the time still gets logged on gog. For some reason, launching the Linux version of openMW with heroic gives me no sound. This was my solution.

Man oh man....where to begin....The atmosphere for starters was amazing. The architecture for the native dunmer (dark elves) was/is so unique. And many of the natives would talk to you like you were trash which was strangely awesome at the time. Also the music is top notch. The world is big and the expansions make it bigger. Tribunal is another big city with lots to explore underground with a decent story. Bloodmoon is another wintery island with plenty to do. Both have decent stories and TOUGH bosses that will take you a while even if you're character is overpowered in the main game. You will come out with awesome items. The main game has a really cool boss. But beating him you'll need certain items which are kind of annoying to find. His pseudo philosophical rants are very well written. The main story is this messiahnic-type of deal where you unite factions and tribes and become the savior of the land. It's very well done. You can keep going after you've beaten everything and everyone will appreciate that a hero like you has bothered to stop and say hi to them. Ha. A little buggy but the unofficial patch takes care of what the latest install version does not. Also look for a sweet texture pack! There are TONS of them as well as other various mods to make the game to your liking. For first timers try to avoid mods outside of simple texture packs. I've beaten the main quest 3 times and the expansions twice. In one play-through I put twice the time into morrowind as I do for one play through of oblivion or skyrim (both great games too). One thing to note this game has "dice rolls" even if you visually land a hit. So at first your character will miss a lot and it'll be frustrating. Stick with it though! The stories in this game are fun but the exploration and how stylized the dunmer buildings and ruins were just blew me away. This is my fave elder scrolls game and in my top ten for best games ever. Sorry if I'm geeking out! It's one of those games for me!

PROS: - A memorable storyline. Read books, read dialogues – if you skip them, you'll not fully appreciate the literary merit of the game. - The option to play mostly non-violently. You can hack-and-slash your way through the game (of course), but it's often possible to complete quests WITHOUT killing NPC’s. - Levitation. This spell was removed from future Elder Scrolls (ES) games, and what a shame that is, IMO. Some locations can only be accessed using levitation. - Alien landscape. The landscape (creatures, humanoids, plants) are unique. In subsequent ES games, there was a less alien and (for me) less interesting world. - Excellent soundtrack. The score is a pleasure to listen to. Skyrim re-uses part of it. PRO or CON: - No hand holding. No quest markers, limited fast travel, you can kill NPC’s that will break the main quest, you can be quickly killed if you wander into the wrong area. For me, these are all a “PRO”, but if you're used to quest markers and the like, you'll be in for a bit of a shock at the beginning of the game. CONS: - Outdated graphics. Use a mod of this bothers you. I like the standard graphics. - Combat is (initially) frustrating. You’ll initially be “swinging-and-missing” quite a bit. To hit consistently, you need to have experience with the weapon you're using AND keep your fatigue (green bar) high. Eventually, you'll land a hit every time. If you can’t get passed this, check for mods that alter the fatigue mechanic. - Cliff Racers: The most annoying creature in Morrowind! High level spellcasters can one-shot them. - Very limited voice acting. Most of the interactions with NPC’s are through reading, and you have to click the same dialogue choices for each NPC. You get used to it, but it can be tiresome. When there is voiced dialogue (usually a cut-scene) it is often truly memorable, and sometimes very moving. Azura speaks to you in cut-scenes that I still remember to this day. Enjoy this wonderful game!

Я так понимаю что все упираеться в 1С. Уних права на локализацию. (Да и на остальные игры тэс тоже нет локализации) Значит ищим человека из 1С и даем ему пинка... Я не думаю что злые поляки сидят и не хотят добавлять локализацию.
