The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY Edition

This is a phenomenal game. Keeping things short, it has: 1. A vast, open, and interesting world. 2. Good graphics (for it's era), that still look decent today. 3. Solid (albeit dated) gameplay mechanics that are still fun and interesting. 4. An extensive modding community to improve the above and add tons of additional content of every conceivable variety. My only hitch with GOGs version of Morrowind is that it doesn't come packaged with the video files that the original installer ran from the CD. I keep getting a brief (not gamebreaking) error message every time I start, but all else runs as smooth as can be.

This is one of if not the best most open ended rpgs ever. Do not compare to later elds they are little more than action games with level up that give you perks no real development. I will not buy from here as I already have an old copy goty and it runs bad on modern pcs. I did play this back in the 32bit days and it ran so smooth never looked great but was good enough. The immersion and ability to actually do nearly anything you want makes its story line top notch. This is one of the first games I cut my teeth making mods you could do so much more. The biggest problem was always stability even running vanilla you had to save often. The difficulty level was pretty high many veteran rpgers had hours of trouble and learning.

this is what i was looking for, first time playing an Elder Scrolls game and is one of the best RPGs i have played.

I don't want to repeat the praise that is written here already, but I often read that this oldie is not so enjoyable nowadays. I don't agree. Morrowind was not my first Elder Scrolls game, but nevertheless it is my favorite. Nearly everything that some describe as a downside (dice roll, no magicka regen, no voice acting, no quest markers ...) is an upsite for me. Even grafic overhauls are not necessary IMO. But if you want a grafic overhaul or magicka regen you can get it. There is a huge number of mods and the Morrowind modding scene is still alive.

This game is fun and smooth. Could have been smoother and with better optimization. There are mods that fix any issue though. It would be coof if todd had included these basic bug fixing mods as official updates , crediting original authors of the mod.
