I agree with all the previous posts.... Morrowind is unique, and possibly the best rpg there is. I have 2 copies of it on cd, and I still have the old xbox-version of it. And I just bought it again here. (Logged more hours in Morrowind than in Oblivion and Skyrim combined.) What Oblivion and Skyrim miss, is the feeling that your actions mather. That the world is alive. Morrowind, with it's faults (no-one ever sleeps, shops are open 24/7,...) and dated graphics and combat have this ; the world feels real and your actions (or inactions) do mather ! There are dozens of factions and not all are friendly to one-another. Joining 1 faction means some other faction will dislike you (hence you will not be able to join that other faction, and never get their quests). The same goes for the guilds (fighter, thieves, mages). You can join all three, but you will not get all the quests from those guilds, since your actions in the two other guilds will always make some questgiver unhappy. Your skills and abilities are simply better than Oblivion or Skyrim. While it is true that your original character choice will dictate what weapons/magic you can use, your character in time can grow in such a way that all weapons and spells can be wielded. The conversations you can have with the npc's is nothing like Oblivion or Skyrim. You can really talk about all locations or quests with all npc's !! For those of you who never played Morrowind : If you can get past the graphics and combat system (using mods can help), you will find an Elder Scrolls game like no other... and you will love it !
