A staggering epic, it almost hurts the brain to think of the effort it would have taken to produce Morrowind...Completing Morrowind is like earning a degree in gaming.
When I first bought the game, the worker at EBGames said, "You better have some time to spare." Here I am over a year later, still learning new things about a truly remarkable game.

Game is dated, combat is static, magic is practically impossible on console, but the lore of this game is absolutely incredible. The music is the best in the series. The atmosphere matches the setting, and the setting helps immerse you in a strange, far-away land where you are a known outsider. WEather effects, as primitive as they look now, helped with the environmental storytelling in Morrowind that they have never recaptured.
Part of the Bethesda magic died with this game, for all it's faults, and I encourage anyone with the patience to learn the system that there is an incredible adventure RPG here, but also an entire world, with it's own geography, politics, historiography, wars, Gods, stories, and mushroom dwellings to find.
Huge game and very satisfying experience for me.

The only good TES game with very interesting storyline.Oblivion is a trash. Skyrim is mediocre at best.

There's never really been a console game like this one – it's an oddity, and most people would be well advised to investigate its possibilities further before picking it up...Morrowind isn't for everyone, but those it grabs will be hooked for good.
Morrowind will please both serious role-playing fans as well as anyone looking for a technically stunning adventure that will hold their attention longer than your average hack-and-slash title. This is the good stuff.
It's a beautiful-looking, sprawling, and completely open-ended game that allows you to play pretty much however you like as long as you're willing to fill in a few blanks using your imagination.
Ultimately, Morrowind's biggest selling point - its expansive scope - is also its undoing.[Fall 2002, p.112]
The soundtrack and the effects (towns are deadly quiet) are a missed opportunity, with the occasional repetitive dialogue heightening the failure to grasp what could have been achieved.

Morrowind has to be my favorite Elder Scrolls game. Heck, it's one of my favorite games of all time! The ginormous alienated world of Vvardenfell is absolutely fantastic to explore with it's overwhelmingly large texts of lore to get hooked to, with an ACTUALLY GOOD main quest (unlike Skyrim and Oblivion) and endless amounts of side quests to do. Yes the combat is outdated, and yes the game can get quite slow especially with the lack of fast travel, but for a game that was made in 2002, it is a masterpiece. A must play for all.

Long before Oblivion and Skyrim took the Elder Scrolls series to the next level, both in terms of quality and popularity, the series third entry (Morrowind) found itself ported to the original Xbox. Many of the series features are already present but little to no effort is made to make it accessible to anyone other than experienced PC RPG gamers. As a result most console owners will really struggle to get into Morrowind in any meaningful way.

I have no doubt this game was groundbreaking at the time, but god is it not fun today. First problem: fatigue. Fatigue is like stamina in this game, except everything drains it. Walking drains it, jumping drains it, All attacks drain it, it just gets super low super quickly. Second problem: linearity. This is an open world without the open. Every single trail you go down is almost completely linear, leaving no room for exploration. Along with that, there is almost nothing to do along said trails. So most of the game is just taken up with walking and nothing else. It also doesn't have fast travel, so you have to spend even more time walking. Stealth in this game barely works, You can walk up to somebody fully invisible, steal something from a shelf beside them, and you'd get detected. On top of that the combat isn't that great either. You have a chance to miss your attack if you have low enough fatigue, which you probably do because of how easily it drains, and all you really do is swing your sword over and over again. So really, nothing about this game is fun. The only plus I can give it is that everyone walks like they just **** themselves, and it looks funny.

It is almost impossible to hit someone in combat. I try 10 times and only hit once or twice. After I tried to kill a simple spider and died, I decided to just quit the game.

Summary An epic, open-ended single-player game where you create and play any kind of character you can imagine. Be the noble hero embarking on an epic quest, or an insidious thief rising to leadership of his guild. Be a malevolent sorcerer developing the ultimate spell of destruction, or a reverent healer searching for the cure to a plague. Your...
