Customer Reviews
I tried to like this game. I really did.
I am an avid computer gamer, primarily of real time strategy, but occassionally other genres. I enjoy RPGs as well including the Final Fantasy series, Dungeon Siege II, and Diablo II, but Elder Scrolls 3: Morrwind was just not a good game. Why you may ask?
Well my main problem with it is the battle interface, which is a primary aspect of the game. Hiting enemies, esspecally short ones, is very inaccurate and cumbersome, causing a great deal of fusteration. This completely ruins the 'fun' aspect of the game. Also, it can be occassionally difficult to figure out where you're going or what is happening. While this is true of many RPGs, I found it to be a much more significan issue with this game. I have a feeling that some of those who enjoy everquest type games will enjoy this, however, many casual RPGers and people who appreciate a good battle interface will not.
Also, while graphics are not that important to an RPG, this game is kind of weird here. Some aspects such as water and landscape are beautiful when the graphics are turned up. However, characters, monsters, etc., are very poorly rendered and akward looking and acting.
The game has an overal cheesy feel dispite it's depth. I have given this game probably 10 hours of play, and it was not fun at the beginning, and it still isn't.
Another Elderscrolls Game
This game is so open ended and confusing that you fail to pick up on it until you have played it for hours upon hours and is virtually unfinishable even after years of playing... Bethesda, keep up the good work
Quite simply, THE BEST
This game is amazing. Several years old now and I still find myself spending hours exploring the island of Vardenfell, Solstheim, and the mysterious city of Mournhold. The depth and beauty of this game is unsurpassed by nearly anything on the market TODAY! And it's a good what? 4 years old? If you want an enjoyable, endlessly-playable RPG experience, and you're tired of the yawn-fest Final Fantasy crap, PICK THIS UP!! You can't beat the price, and you shouldn't have to worry too much about your computer running it (unless your computer is hideously old). Also with the developer tools included with the game, the online mod community is simply massive! Thousands of mods available to extend and improve play in a variety of ways. Plus if you're feeling daring you can try your hand at your own mod!
