| Review | Rating | Last Updated | The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Welcome to my review of the third installment in the Elder Scorlls series, Morrowind. Morrowind is my first ES game, and all I can say is, "Are they all this good?" If someone asked me what my favorite game was two weeks ago, I would say, "Ocarina of Time." Now, however, I would flatly state, "Morrowind. Hands-down." Now, on to the actual review.
<br />
<br />Graphics: 9/10
<br />The graphics are absolutely awe-inspiringly gorgeous. I have not seen this realism in a video game since... ever. The only problem is that the graphics require a near-supercomputer. Mine is kind of super, and the graphics look fine, but the framerate is slightly choppy at times. Otherwise, great. As close to perfection as I have ever seen.
<br />
<br />Sound: 10/10
<br />Swords cling and clash. Magic blasts roar with power. Daggers swiftly slice through the air. Water sounds like water. Perfection. Absolute realistic perfection.
<br />
<br />Voice Acting: 8/10
<br />The voice acting in this game is excellent. Sadly, the voice acting is limited to two sets per species: a male set and a female set. You hear everything, from the male Wood Elves speaking of your freeness when you prance around in your underwear ("How free you are to venture in the nude!") to High Elves speaking of teleportation accidents ("I didn't remember using teleportation, yet there I was. Alone. Naked."). Even a celebrity voices all of one set. Who is it? Lynda Carter (aka Wonder Woman) voices all of the female Nords in the game.
<br />
<br />Music: 9/10
<br />The music is great. From the first time you boot up the game and hear the roar of drums, to when you're adventuring across the Morrowind countryside and hear beautiful, beautiful music, the game's music is spectacular.
<br />
<br />Story: 10/10
<br />You are a prisoner in the Imperial City's prison. You have just been released and are being taken to Seyda Neen for an unknown purpose (although you will find out why later). You create a character, are pointed in the d | 5 | 780 days ago | THE MOST ENTERTAINMENT FOR $20 IN THE WORLD!
WOW!!!!

<br />I am an avid PC gamer who likes most genres and owns a ton of PC games... and all that I have to say about Morrowind is:
<br />
<br />A PC game MASTERPIECE, period! | 5 | 780 days ago | This game is amazing.
Are you looking for a gigantic.. and I mean GIGANTIC RPG world filled with amazingly detailed environments like sandstorms, rain n thunder, volcanic lands, marshy terrains, tombs, towns, ruins, and dungeons? Well, this game has that. The creatures in this game, they're just out of this world. One of the creatures you'll see in the game is a Dreugh which is a scorpion/squid like creature and it creeped me out. That is exactly what you'll have to face as you try to complete hundreds of quests (you'll never do em all) in the land of Morrowind. This game is a must have for people who like RPG and adventure games. Even if you don't like it you'll still need it cause this is the game of the year, right. | 5 | 780 days ago | Utterly unbelievable!
I almost feel like I shouldn't write a review of this game, because I just don't know where to begin or how to say all that I want to say. This game is by far the greatest RPG I've ever played. It is big and sprawling and almost literally allows you to do anything you want. After the character creation process and the initial 'start' of the game, you walk outside and are free to go *anywhere* and do *anything* you want. You don't even have to pursue the main game, and there will still be 100+ hours of things to do.
<br />
<br />I played this game for several months non-stop and never once got tired of it. Even now, a few years later, I still have memories of doing things in the game that are so vivid that I feel like I've been there myself and actually *did* do those things.
<br />
<br />A quick anecdote: I was used to playing console RPGs (old-school types, like Breath of Fire, etc.) in which everything was linear, and you (and everyone else who played the game) had to progress at the same pace and in the same way. This meant if you came to a river, you'd have to wait until you found the 'boat' or 'canoe' and then you'd have access to that part of the map. In Morrowind, I chose to play as a mage, and one of my starting spells was "Waterwalking". I didn't know what to make of this at first, but then I used it and my character was walking across the water! I wasn't used to having that kind of ability right at the start of the game, but that's what makes this game so great -- you can do virtually anything, and at your own pace.
<br />
<br />The world is huge and the cities you can visit are numerous. You can spend time in each one almost as if you were in a real city and you were touring it (especially Vivec).
<br />
<br />The expansions are good also, but naturally they aren't as large as the original game.
<br />
<br />Just an amazing, unbelievable experience. | 5 | 780 days ago | Morrowind One Of The Best Games Ever
Morrowind is simply one of the best games of all time with so many quests and things to do you can spend hours playing this game. It is a great game and from start to finish it is packed with fun. Their are so many things to do that to simply just do one quest is almost impossible without running into other quests or people involved in a quest. With at least a little more than a 1000 of NPCs just waiting to be talked to and robbed, pickpockited , killed, guided, talked to, traded with, train with, persuade or just walk by I have to say that this is one of my favorite games. This game simply is all that. Period | 4 | 780 days ago |
