On Steam I have 53 hours on record but in reality I've put at least a couple hundred hours into Morrowind, both vanilla and modded. I recommend anyone playing on PC today use the Morrowind Graphics Extender to enable distant terrain. There are also some texture and mesh replacers out there that are quite close to vanilla but look much better. I think after all these years these graphical mods are kind of necessary.

You will have to overlook some old and clunky designs, you will have to understand that your to hit percentage is based on skills, not on physically connecting, and until you hit like mid-level with your weapon skills a lot of your attacks will miss.

But it's worth putting up with all for the freedom this game gives you. Freedom in how you explore, which quests you do, which factions you back, freedom of play style, freedom to make your own spells, enchant your own gear (and there's more of it here than any other Elder Scrolls game). It's a big, alien world that I really enjoyed exploring.

A lot of younger gamers will honestly just bounce off this game. But for people willing to put in a little time to learn the systems they will find a real classic gem of a game.
