I played all Friday night from maybe 8pm till 7am straight. When I realized the sun was up I was too tried to go to my bedroom and just clunked out in the game room to some Spider-Man cartoons. This began my love of Bethesda. This may also be the most “early 2000s” story of mine.

I remember my first successful character to this day. I adopted the name of the first character you talked to, Jiub, and promptly got into trouble with the law. instead of fleeing, I killer my pursuer, and added to my bounty. This continued til I hit 5k bounty, at which point they stop offering to let you go to jail or pay, every guard knows your name and will attack on sight. So began my glorious quest to kill every living person in the game. Initially it was just the one town, but on striking down an essential npc I knew I'd gone too far and could never return. Slowly every town was emptied. To mark where someone fell I would leave their armor or clothing (assuming I didn't pocket it to add to my massive hoard of wealth or personal museum) in a pile where they died, Once I'd emptied every house in every city (with few exceptions, just one spell crafter, enchanter, and smith, I think). I realized that these towns were getting too barren, and no amount of museums or piles of jewels would change that. So I started hoarding ash statues and building miniature cities of tiny statues, building houses out of alchemical equipment, bottles, and books. When this failed to satisfy, I went bigger, using dwarves garbage, bottles, and swords, really whatever was around, to make piles into statues, literal trash statues, garbage golems, to make the graveyards that were once cities feel habitated. tl;Dr, youth consumes excessive amounts of marijuana regularly, steals identity of first person he meets, goes on rampage emptying entire continent of life, becomes lonely, makes people out of garbage for company oh, and this was all on the Xbox version

Wizards in Morrowind feel like the most Dungeon and Dragon-esque wizards I've ever seen. Destruction spells are cool, and straight to the point, but why not blind the opponent? Why not send them levitating them thus make them helpless? Why not unlock that chest, or spring that trap with telekinesis? Wizards in later TES games evolve to walking harbingers of destruction, which is cool in it's own right, but in Morrowind they just seem much more practical. Destruction isn't the end all be all, and is actually quite inefficient if you adhere strictly to that. You're like a D&D wizard who has spells for everything and can assess the situation, and despite how cool being a death machine it is, there's nothing like being wizard who can use magic for not only killing, but everything in between.

My favorite part of this game, compared to the newer ones, is the fact difficulty varied by location, not level. This always felt "right" to me. It definitely made exploration much more exciting when you don't know what's lurking around the corner... Then when you find out, you have to ask yourself if it's worth trying to sneak by or fight your way past for some hopefully high level loot. Later games just didn't have that risk vs reward aspect to them which made exploration fun.

Despite all that, Morrowind will always be the BEST of elder scrolls to me :) Unless of course, the developers remake it with post Skyrim level graphics with exact number of npcs found in MW with full audio clips for all that wall of texts of information, overhauled combat system, full sized world of MW with all the goodies and secrets in it.

you forgot about the Morag Tong. Who doesn't love sanctioned legal assassinations in public view? when the guards run up you show them your writ of execution and they apologize for bothering you and go about their day leaving you in peace! Morrowind was my favorite, so many good memories playing that game. one gripe i did have about it was you could actually fuck your game up in numerous ways. Killing main story quest npc's (which i loved and hated at the same time) also i ran into a few kinks like being a vampire stuck inside an ancestral tomb because it was morning outside (massive sun damage) and i couldn't pass time because there were powerful enemies close by and i was out of potions and spell points. Which isn't bad when it's said like that but when it takes 4 to 6 hours for a day cycle to pass by, you're stuck having to leave your game on for 6 hours while you go do something else. That still was not enough to make me dislike the game. i loved the harshness of it all. no hand holding, hunting down quest areas (before google) felt so rewarding when figured out on your own.

Yeah, morrowind did almost no hand-holding. You could easily kill off primary quest NPCs and just get a warning that was something like: "you can continue on in this doomed world, or reload from a previous save". I remembered playing this on xbox trying fortify health potions and they work but I kept dying due to fortifying instead of healing which (when the potion ended) my health went to zero, or trying to sneak up on the frost giant in bloodmoon expansion and trying to kill it one hit with some arrow of slaying thingy (5000 damage on hit) only to drop dead due to its reflect ability. Good times. Good times

The best part of Morrowind is the ability to kill important npc or otherwise fail and live in a doomed world (and than finding ways to still avoid the doom and do your main quest.) Unlimited freedom with quests, talk (i liked one of the guard captains armor, so talked into attacking me and that way avoided conflict with the law since he attacked me), story, alchemy, spells and enchantments.

A major point of comparison between daggerfall and morrowind's combat is that in daggerfall each attack was a tradeoff- The accuracy was so good on stabs that even with shitty stats you could usually land a stab, while a downward smash might be inaccurate but had great damage, so naturally later on when you're landing almost every hit regardless that's what you want to do. And of course it's a lot more satisfying to have the angle of attack correlate to your mouse movement, instead of being unintuitively locked to footwork.

And you could click on little square in upper right corner to make single window persist on screen even if you quit the menu. I've used it to have larger mini map. It was sooooooo much better than Skyrim UI. I loved not having quest markers, asking people for directions, getting lost, not having fast travel. Best game ever.

I ended up being that friend that visited a friend only because they had this game. I was in middle school and he was just a grade below me in elementary school, but we were army brats living in a community of military families overseas. I would visit his apartment constantly just so that we could co-op Halo: Combat Evolved, and he showed me Morrowind one day and I was just absolutely mesmerized by it. He and his parents were RPG fanatics, so they also had a PC which had Neverwinter Nights and a variety of other CRPGs installed. His dad also own all of the D&D 3rd Edition rulebooks that were released up to that point. I remembered I would borrow this game constantly after I got my own Xbox for my birthday. He never really minded, though, because he stopped playing it after a while. Eventually I was able to convince my mom to buy a copy of the Xbox GOTY edition and Knights of the Old republic. That was a...busy week, for me.

One of the most difficult games I have ever played. I never completed this as a 13 year old. The skills system was hard as shit to master. A different skill for every weapon, and nearly impossible to hit something when you are low level. Also the journal and objectives system. No icons telling you where to go, no shitty hit markers, no x-ray vision. Just a mission in a journal entry - then you had to scroll through pages of notes to find the mission. From the era where games were truly good, didn't hold your hand, didn't have lootboxes, and didn't have to be patched within a week of release due to bugs. I had a true feeling of helplessness the first time I played this and received that first objective. I walked outside and had no idea what to do. I was completely overwhelmed by the feeling of being lost and having no idea where I was or what to do or even how big the map was. This game took over my life in a way modern games have never come close to.

difference being that hoping sideways actually made you go faster in OOT, whereas in morrowind all it did was level up acrobatics. a much more efficient technique to get arround faster in morrowind is to exploit the games outdated movement physics. you see in morrowind pressing W, A, S, or D simply adds a certain velocity to the corresponding direction, so strafing, while walking forward adds both velocities together, making you go faster than just walking forwards, it also increses your jump distance. another good way to travel vast distances fairly quickly is to offer any rising force potion to the shrine beneath the ministry of truth, doing so casts a level 100 levitation spell which lasts an absurd ammount of time.

I've had countless discussions with fans about which TES land you'd want to make your home in if you had the chance.... And I'm still amazed every time I hear someone choose the god forsaken land of Morrowind. Admittedly, I played Oblivion first in 2006 and then went back to play Morrowind 2007, so my perspective is slightly skewed by the jarring experience of venturing from the relatively pleasant forests of Cyrodil into the nightmarish volcanic hellscape of giant mushrooms and screaming pterodactyl creatures that is Morrowind. And when tiny leeches aren't kicking the crap out of you, you can venture into filthy swamp lands where you'll waste countless hours searching for a magical talking crab who will buy *anything* off you for up to 10,000 gold... because it was 2007, and there were plenty of online rumors about that crab, but not a single god damned map or video to guide your way. Last, but not least, if the blighted disease storms and bizzare wildlife doesn't kill you, then the insane religious zealots in temples, egotistical slave traders near ebony mines, and idiotic crack-heads in the shoddy slums will give you endless reasons to simply slaughter everything you stumble across and ask questions later... lest you find yourself trapped in an endless tree of *30* dialogue topics for a single generic NPC. Call me crazy, but I'd rather live in a dangerous city in Cyrodil where hell gates might randomly appear than in the safety of the floating city of Vivec... THAT YOU CAN EASILY FALL OFF THE SIDE OF AND WASTE A GOD DAMNED HOUR SWIMMING AROUND TO TRY AND FIND A WAY TO GET BACK ONTO. Seriously, how can those guards just casually go about their business patrolling the streets above me when I'm clearly sloshing around drowning beneath them. Yet..... somehow, some way, the land of Morrwind has a special place in my heart as somewhere I would gladly visit. Although you're never gonna convince me to live there.

Whenever i play it around friends, i get asked "wow, can you recommend it" and i always reply "yes but maybe play the newer ones first, as this one is quite demanding of a first time player". Yes, Morrowind is a demanding game early on and indeed forces you to look past a lot of things, but it is also absolutely transcendent. It is the best entry in the series, although i must say i love Oblivion and Skyrim a crazy amount too. Bethesda's RPGs are just exactly my cup of tea.

I really love the combat. IMO it's necessary to delve into magic to really enjoy it. The magic system is so damn robust that you can really do next to anything with it. I dont get the hate people give the combat, it's similar to KOTOR, Baulders gate, never winter nights, and so-on. Just in a 1st person setting. Had the combat played out more like Kotor (2 actors play a cooresponding animations that represents a hit, or a miss) I think people would have been far more receptive to it. The journal sucks, and tracking down a tiny piece of information has screwed me over for hours in-game. BUT To me the game represents a long journey, you get lost, you get frustrated, but you keep delving deeper into the mystery and keep finding reasons to love the experience.

@Viehzerrer7 жыл бұрын
My father actually had the Collector's Edition. I still have the figure that comes with it. But as much as I tried, I never could get into the game itself, despite trying multiple times. And that was sad, because I loved Daggerfall (despite being loaded with issues) and a sequel (I didn't even expect to happen) was something I was really excited for. But several issues (particularly the combat system, "dice roll" combat in a full 3D game was quite an annoying dissonance that I found hard to tolerate) made it hard for me to enjoy it. Even though I really wanted to like it. Well, until two years ago. I don't know quite why, but when I tried it in 2015 again, I finally managed to get into it. Even the combat stopped bothering me at some point (becoming good enough that not 80% of all my attacks miss surely helped. So did getting a great katana, that I used the entire main quest, early on, just by having security as a major skill and being a Redguard). And by now, even though I did little more than the main and some faction quests (although I probably would have done the expansion quests by now, if the Spriggans in Bloodmoon didn't piss me off so much), it's pretty much my favorite Elder Scrolls game too. I think it all comes down to balance. Morrowind has the best balance between freedom and refinement (even if it's largely beloved because it's broken as hell) and story quality and presentation (Daggerfall had a more interesting story, but wasn't presented very well, while later games present them better, but the stories themselves are kinda crap). Also, the size of the game world is just right (apparently, a lot of the increased randomness in later games is due to worlds getting to big to place everything by hand. Also, the much-beloved, that is over-rated, quest marker-less target location searching is much more practical in smaller space). And then, there's the music. Frankly, while I think he's good, I generally don't see what the big deal with Jeremy Soule is, however Morrowind is a big exception (and his magnum opus, in my opinion). The greatness of the music is particularly noticeable due to the way it's used. Playing the same tracks over and over and over again, with not even the slightest change depending on location and situation (with combat being the sole exception) is a good way to get fed up. Not so with Morrowind. Even after hearing them at least a hundred times (or at least what feels like it), I don't get tired of them (especially my favorite, "The Road Most Traveled").

Myro Kratios Daggerfall also had RNG combat.
@Alfwin7 жыл бұрын
Have you played Daggerfall? While it does have RNG combat, something about the implementation of it feels a lot more natural than in Morrowind. Actually, I felt Daggerfall had the most satisfying melee combat out of any TES game. That's probably due to subtleties like the visuals and sound effects, mainly, because Arena's combat is technically identical to Daggerfall's, and I hated it.

Ashwath Toontown nah, Arena is the worst TES game. Daggerfall is just the buggiest. If you can put up with that, and arent put off by the graphics, its every bit as fun as Skyrim.
@camscrappychannel29706 жыл бұрын
I'd agree it's the best combat. Morrowind is fine but the 2D.5 nature of Daggerfall makes it feel more natural. Taking out the RPG elements in later games make the combat even worse as it's just swing swing swing with no worries of character builds.

Thank you for the wonderful review. The best way I've found to play the game is Morrowind Graphics and Sound Overhaul (MGSO). It tweaks the graphics, improves the interface, and has balancing options if you need them. Porting TES3 to another engine (Skyblivion, Skywind) inevitably removes some part of the original game. It would be interesting to play with complete voice-overs, as long as they are included in MGSO when complete.

I first played Morrowind on the original xbox when I was a child! (I'm 21) What really drew me in was the map- I'd never seen a game with a huge poster map before, and so I instantly wanted to know more about the game. I would take out the map and just stare at it. It was one of my favorite games and it's so nostalgic. I would sit crosslegged on my dresser in front of my little chunky TV and just listen to the theme song on the opening screen. Because my xbox would take like five minutes on each loading screen, I had a lot of time to analyze the concept artwork in the game and I convinced myself that my biggest goal in the game was to get a green axe. I had absolutely no idea where to get the axe though, and being a child I could not fathom the combat system. I spent my entire time hopping from town to town and stealing from people. One day I finally managed to find that green axe and it was literally the greatest moment of my life. I found it in a town with mushroom trees and houses. But I remember all the sudden everyone hated me (it was probably one of my first times in a Telvani region of the game) and so I just assumed I stole too much stuff and everyone hated me. So I just.. quit playing the game. I really wish I would have stuck through it though because I didn't get to spend as much time with that glass axe. I recently bought it again on PC and it's been insane actually being able to KILL things and upgrade my character. It's a totally different experience and I do kind of miss the time where Morrowind was so mysterious. On the bright side, even with over 100 hours of gameplay I've still discovered less than half the map and haven't even touched the main quest! There's still a lot I haven't discovered and that's exciting.

On the cliff racers: Cliff racers were a serious problem to a lot of players because they'd attack you on the road where you've probably been running and using up all your stamina. Your total stamina in reserve is actually part of the to hit calculations, so cliff racers always seemed really evasive. When you fight them with a full stamina bar, it's almost a joke how much easier they are to fight.
