Every NPC has mostly the same text to give you, and are treated mostly like dictionaries. The only statements you ever really make consist mostly of 'Yes' or 'No'. The lands you wander are mostly empty, the NPCs you meet are almost all the same, and the conversations with them consist mostly of clicking through long blocks of text being entirely unable to respond except by clicking on highlighted links in the text that lead to other long blocks. Since combat is the main feature and problem solving method in the game, the fact that it feels awkward and ineffectual to me is a major stumbling block.Īnother major stumbling bock is, despite the open ended nature of the game, there isn't actually a lot to do. It gives the appearence of being action based, but is instead almost entirely stat based. Truthfully, I really like an open ended sandbox feel for a game, but not everyone does.Īnyways, the combat overall is pretty weak. For people used to linear games with a good pacing it probably would feel overwelming. I initially started with a Redguard specializing in a couple kinds of swords and things.

I have finished Morrowind and the Expansions Tribunal and Bloodmoon. But since I'm sitting here with two broken ribs and not much else to do, I will indulge you (and myself). These help.Ī review with our experiences, preferences and over all thoughts on Morrowind? Thats quite a tall order. That said, there *is* a mod that allows you to make books in the game, and another that allows you to add entries to your journal. The inventory is plain ugly and doesn't use containers (unlike, say, the Baldur's Gate series), and the quest journal system is poor. The economy is broken: it's far too easy to make millions very quickly. There are plenty of generic subjects and responses, and 1000+ NPCs have many of them. The game's main weakness is its dialog system.

Unlike NWN, you can run multiple mods simultaneously.

There are 4000+ mods available: extra quests, new races, new areas, new weapons and armor, character homes, extra RPG depth (new activities that involve you with the world), game tweaks to make the environment more difficult or easier, etc. You can enchant items, and build your character any way you want. There are plenty of quests and literally hundreds of locations to visit-and you can visit them in a non-linear fashion, completely ignoring the main game plot, if you so choose. It's a first-person, single-character RPG, with a very attractive graphical environment. I got this game for over a year, and I never played it.
