best game. absolute peak rpg with a dev that cares about their game

good game

game barely ran on my old rig and every time I hit someone their clothes disappeared for some reason.
10/10

Over the past few years, I've played a good 90 hours or so, mostly through borrowing my friend's xbox. Over that time I went back and forth on my opinion of this until I finally managed to settle on a solid answer: This game is worth the money. However, you may struggle a bit getting into it. SInce I'm not going to compare this to the other games in the series, I'll just give a pros and cons list and a summary.

Pros:

1. Interesting story.
It's not always easy to find an rpg with a good story. I can safely say that Morrowind does a decent job with this, and it tells a compelling story.

2. Real RPG mechanics.
As much as I sometimes have trouble with it, the hit/miss system is much more in line with a tabletop rpg, which I feel like bethesda was going for. take this one as you will, as it isn't for everyone.

3.Vast and creative world.
This was one of the first games I came across when I was younger that actually had a unique world, immersive lore, and sheer size to it. Even after all my time playing I still haven't explored everything, and that's part of the fun!

4. Mod support.
I don't know about anyone else, but I love mods! They have the potential to breathe new life into older games through many means such as dlc-like quests, new armors, graphical overhauls, and even sound packs! Some even give new playerhomes and worldspaces to explore. If you don't mind searching through pages of cringeworthy nude patches on the Morrowind Nexus, this is a huge plus!

Cons:

1. Dated graphics.
I get that this was top of the line when it came out, and honestly it doesn't hold up too poorly, but these can be an issue sometimes. not being able to tell if what you're looking at is an argonian or a bunch of triangles can be pretty jarring. If you truly can't stand older 3d graphics, stay away from Morrowind.

2.Real RPG mechanics.
"But you put that in the pros column! How can it possibly be bad AND good?" The answer is this, my friends: inflated difficulty and painfully slow traveling! The hit/miss mechanics are genuinely more like tabletop RPGs, but there's a reason they aren't commonly used. when you're in a 3d world space and you stab someone in the face with a sword, you would probably expect the sword to do damage when it actually visibly collides with the enemies' face. In Morrowind, actually hitting them only gives you a CHANCE to hit when this occurs. This makes for an insanely difficult beginning to the game, so be warned. Also, YOUR STAMINA DEPLETES WHEN MOVING!

3.NO NAVIGATION
I know that a lot of the hardcore fans of the game love this aspect, but the map of Vvardenfel is really bad, there's no fast travel (which to be honest isn't all that horrible,) and there is NO compass to help you through questing. A lot of the Morrowind fanboy crowd would say "You don't NEED a compass, the quest givers and NPCs will give you directions! It's called immersion!" But the problem with this oh so horrible excuse is this: Npc directions are frequently wrong! I don't know if this was an intentional "Immersion" trait, or if the devs just typed it wrong, but there are numerous quests that have no correct directions, making it nearly impossible to find the objective! Quest markers were added for a reason, people! Mod this in!

Summary:

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind has its flaws, but it makes up for them in creativity, exploration, and just downright fun! As long as you can find where you're going, the game is really good and worth every penny!

blew up a helicopter and it landed on another helicopter, which in turn exploded on me, killing me.




10/10 would play again

Electronic super joy is an insanely difficult platformer, focusing on music and visuals more than story. Despite the lack of in-depth storyline (Which might not have even fit in with the game anyway) this is an incredibly fun game with a WONDERFUL game with a wonderful soundtrack!

This Game is Absolutely Fantastic! Well, it is if you like building your own Empire. Otherwise, maybe it's not your cup of tea.
