Morrowind is and amazing game with jaw dropping graphix, it is set on the vast island of Vvraddenfal wich consists of literally HUNDREDS of towns, Smugglers caves, Dungons, NPC's and Monsters. The NPC A.I is not paticually good, and lets the game down a little, it is fustrating walking around town and being told "hurry up, i am a busy person" or "of course id be happy to awnser your questions." by everyone. The most enjoyable feature of the game is the huge interactivity it has, the fact that you can customise every aspect of your character is good, making a fierce Nordic warrior, a stealthy dark elf thief, a powerful breton mage ect... Another exelent feature is the power to make your own spells, potions and enchanted items, (((i recently made "The Ultimate Fireball Of Frost" spell))) All Serious gamers should buy this game, however, only play if you are planning on spending a long time on it, the "Go where you want, when you want and do what you want" style of the game, as well as a main storyline quest, makes many hours of gameplay.
Rating: - The Best RPG on earth
I have been a loyal fan of Morrowing since it came out on xbox and I have to say I've at least put in about 48 hours of gamepleay in to this game. I would recommend this game to anyone who loves RPG's or wants to get in them. When I first played morrowind I thought to myself where's the main quest you know where's the action and drama that other games offer. well not this game when you first start out in Seyda Neen you get a little hint and a nudge of what you mission is and you don't basically have to start from there. You can do whatever you want in Morrowind you can be a Theif to an asassin to knight trust me there are more classes. But in all I would have to say Morrowind is the best RPG on earth why? Because you can LITERALLY do whatever you want. Buy this game for XBOX or P.C it will be worth every dollar you spend. And becareful the land of Vvardenfell can be very dangerous and this game is HIGHLY ADDICTING once you start you won't wanna stop.
Rating: - Best single player RPG you can buy!
This is a truely awesome game that has endless hours of playability. People are still making scores of plugin mods for the PC version that add new quests, houses, furniture, armor and just about anything you can think of to add with the Morrowind editor. This game is definately a must buy for any serious RPG lover. Oh Yeah... and the Graphics are simply stunning... =)

I can't give this game five stars. Then again, I couldn't really give any game five stars.
It isn't as freeform as I would like. Then again, my standards are too high. I want perfection. Its very liberating, you can pursue many different paths, or none at all. The world of the Elder Scrolls is very detailed, immense, and realistic, and your sample of it in Morrowind, the island of Vvardenfell, has been carefully crafted. If I remember right, there are +2600 non-playable characters in the game, all unique and created by hand, not ramdomly generated. Each has his or her own loyalties, ambitions, personalities, etc.
The audio is great. Sound effects, voices, backround, but the music should be more rustic, I think. Not to say the music isn't great, but there should be a more aboriginal quality to it, not so cosmopolitan.
Graphics are decent on a decent PC. On mine, if I stretch it and sacrifice performance, which I do occasionally, the world is beautiful. The natural world of Nirn, the trees, the flowers, even the ashpits, then on to the architecture of the Redoran settlements, the Telvanni towers, the Hlaalu towns, to the desert Ashlands, this truly is a world. From the bustling walkways of the immence city of Vivec, to the quiet swamps of the Bitter Coast, this is its own world. Vvardenfell. Morrowind. Tamriel. Mundus.
Morrowind.
Rating: - A Beyond Splendid RPG more than worth the [item price]
Awesome really good computer generated graphics? Check. Deep Intuitive storyline? Check. Open-ended never get bored game-play? Check. Good music? Check. Pixel Shading technology? Check. Worth the price? Double check. Selection of any kind of character? Check. Never-ending quests and complication of guilds and factions? Check. Sequel to 1996 and 1994 game of the year? Check. Next-generation overall technology? Check. RPG 2002 game of the year? Check. Collector's addition comes with extras? Check. Price has come down? Check.
So for your [money], if you have a high-end powerful computer, this is your choice. Really. I am just warning you, without the latest morrowind update and a beefed up high-end powerful computer with the power of the Intel Pentium 4 processor with Windows XP and at least 512 megabytes of RAM plus a GeForce or Radeon series graphics card with a Sound Blaster series graphics card with a strong fast hard drive and more, your experience in morrowind won't be so special....
So take my advice and buy the game for yourself, RPG lovers.
