The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY Edition

Morrowind it's a great game. The only Con i've encountered is that it doesn't have a quest marker nor there is any mod for it. Nevertheless i want to thank GOG to give us the chance to know better older versions of the Elder Scrolls Series

Hello CD Projekt RED.I'm from Russia and was upset to see that the game does not have the Russian language.I would not install third-party programs to Russify the game,but if you installed the Russian Localization from Akella, I would be very happy.Thanks for your attention!

Morrowind, the game with the list of flaws bigger than most entire games. First, the good points. The world is huge, and unlike earlier games in the series, it's an actual hand-crafted world and not generic procedural garbage. There's something amazing about being able to explore and explore without running into artificial walls all the time. You can be tens of hours into the game and still discover new interesting places. The weather system is also nice, even though you can't take shelter from the rain because it passes right through solid objects. I also like the freedom to explore the entire world, learn all skills, and max all attributes, complete most of the quests, and do so with a single character without having to restart the game. Now for the flaws. It's a long list, so I'm just going to focus on a few of the big ones. The npcs are very generic. You can talk to a lot of people about a lot of subjects, but you're going to get the same generic answers all the time. Often the answers won't even make sense in context. Ask an important npc about "someone in particular", and they'll start talking about themselves in the third person. Apparently the writers working on the game were too busy writing far too many in-game books to bother with the dialogue. There is also really no way to play a heroic character, or even a neutral character who has some line that they are unwilling to cross. Well, you can just not do quests that offend your moral sensibilities, but you can rarely outright refuse to take them on. Refusing to complete quests often cuts you off from large chunks of content in the form of future quests, and it clogs up your quest list. And then there's the level-up system, which punishes you for using your class skills and rewards you for focusing on non-class skills. It's not a complex system, but it is completely counter-intuitive, and it punishes casual players while making the game too easy for min-maxers looking for a challenge.

Massive, massive time sink of a game, for mostly the wrong reasons. Your starting character RUNS slower than the one from Oblivion SNEAKS. Also, "running" constantly drains Fatigue, an extremely important statistic that influences hit %for melee (undoubtedly the main source of the "miss miss miss" meme) and cast % for magic, and is insidiously UNEXPLAINED by the in-game tutorial. The map is huge and you will spend a LOT of time walking while doing various quests, even utilizing the (limited) fast travel system in the game (including teleports). There is a semi-joke magic item you can acquire in the course of an obscure side quest which will boost your move speed to tolerable levels (to wit: still slower than the Hero of Kvatch's base run speed), but it also blinds you, which can be overcome by a specific series of actions you probably won't think of without a wiki or guide (like the item itself). That last part needs to be stressed. Morrowind is lauded as having very little "handholding" but that is sometimes a detriment. Can't land hits? Brew or buy a "fortify attack" potion. Don't know who sells it or what ingredients you need? Ask and check the inventory of every NPC in every town, collect herbs and combine them randomly for dozens of hours OR... simply look it up on a wiki. Need to improve your alchemy skill? Make potions for hours OR find an alchemy trainer (search for hours or wiki). Need money for training? Spend hours doing quests, sell high level loot to various merchants depending on your Barter skill and how much they like you... or find (on a wiki) one of two obvious Easter Egg joke merchants that will buy anything at base value. The above aren't pure negatives. Morrowind is very freeform and you can spend literal hundreds of hours "immersed" in it, exploring the world and its mechanics and lore, akin to an MMO. However, to "play" it practically requires regularly consulting some sort of guide. Whether that spoils the process or not is up to the player.
