I started out playing Oblivion a few years ago. It was the first non linear game I had ever played. Oblivion is what got me into free form games but this review is not about Oblivion it’s about Morrowind.
When I had finished Oblivion I was thirsty for more. I did some research and decided to buy Morrowind. This proved to be difficult seeing that the only way to purchase the game in South Africa at the time was off of Amazon. Due to theft at the post office, Amazon had refused to deliver to South Africa. Finally, I won an auction for it on eBay. About 5 Months later I received the game in the post.My first look at Morrowind was quite confusing due to it having different controls from Oblivion. After I had changed the controls to my liking I started to explore the world. Morrowind takes place on the island of Vvardenvell. Players of any Elderscrolls should know that Vvardenvell was occupied by the Imperials from Cyrodiil. You start on a ship heading to a Port Town, when you arrive you are allowed to set up your character, I chose to become a Nord Warrior with my star sign as the Warrior.
I do not want to wreck the story for anyone so I’m going to move onto the game itself. The world is much, much larger than Cyrodiil. Terrains are diverse, spanning from lush forests, snowy tundra’s and ash wastelands to Swamp lands, deserts and volcanic plains. Characters are immersive and full of depth. There is no voice dialogue when talking to characters but for roleplay junkies, that should be no problem.
This is truly an excellent game and I wish to stop now so I can continue playing it.
Good: In-Depth world and characters, Diverse terrain, Immersive story....
Bad: Menu system is a bit hard to get used to
Final Score: 98/100
