Amazing game, great depth, huge world. | | Zohn and Snake eater (father & son) from Boston, MA says (20/May/2006): | Its a great game but takes alittle patience in the beginning. It has enemy's around almost every corner. Sometimes even in the cities. There must be 500 little missions to do in this game. This game has everything from ghosts to vampires and more. The terrain around the cities are full of things to discover, from pearl diving off shore to fighting your way through ancient ruins. The phrase you keep what you kill comes alive as you take anything your enemy's have on their person. In the cities there are guilds, for everything which means politics and espianage. Dozens of side missions in each city, always something to do and someone to kill. There are over 20 towns or cities to discover and probably twice as many ancient relics or ancient ruins to discover in this game. The only downsides to this game are way too much reading and the distance between cities can become tiredsome walking everywhere. There are other ways of getting around but you have to join guilds or find how to get around. Walking places are good for building up your level, finding interesting places and things and treasures but, sometimes can be alittle annoying, if your character hasn't got a 70 speed or so. We wish we had the horses that are in the new game. All in all a great game to play.
| The BEST game EVER | | Frank from Ontario,Toronto says (19/Feb/2006): | I think this game is realy REALY interesting.im lvl 47 and im an assassin (costom).I like how u can go anywere at anytime im an outlaw I have a death sentece =) I owe $266,499 and i have $438,467.Also if any1 knows how to get the umbra sword then contact me at shag_03< remove me > at hotmail.com.And if u kill 2 much guards and other people u will have a death sentece.Once u have 1 u cant pay 4 it and u cant beat the game when ur an outlaw,trust me...i know 2 well.and I also have Adamantium armor(full set)and i have the mace.And i have tonze of daedric,glass,ebony and dwarven wepons and armor =).And my guys name is Hunter.
| Big, Huge, yet wish it was bigger | | luke from brisbane, Australia says (15/Dec/2005): | this is a great game, it is my most favourite in my collection. I play it heaps n ive noticed that before your character can run faster and jump higher it is sometimes annoying having to hafto wait ages to travel between cities, if there isnt a boat or a silt strider or if your not carrying any intervention spells, i think ya should be able to farm plants, animals, catch animals, break them, get saddles and ride them around. also buying and sellin property would make it more fun.
This might help to get around more easily, even though it may distract you away from the main story it would be good to do once the game is complete or to get de-stessed when ya cant do a mission or solve a puzzle.
| A Very Difficult But A Very Fun Game!!! | | Gage the Guide from Butte, Montana, U.S.A. says (26/Nov/2005): | The first thing I did in the game was to the wilderness.There I died but also found how if I shot an arrow it would stick out of a tree.The grapics are amazing, the creatures are amazing, and the wide selection of items is amazing.It is the second funnest game I ever played.One hint: Don't rush into the wild wilhout being properly equiped.Overall, if you are bored with the games you have, get this one.I can't wait until the next one comes out. The game lasts for a year or later. I wouldn't recommend this game to young kids for two reasons: one it is confusing sometimes, the other, it is sometimes scary. Morrowind brings crime, hunting, mysteries, and traveling all together.Only put in cheats if you really need them. If you do put in cheats it does get a little boring. Use a bow to draw in your enemy then use your sword to kill it off.If you have any questions please email me.I like to find new things on the game also.
| Sweet | | Phillip C. from Las Vegas, Nv. says (3/Oct/2005): | I played this game for xbox but I bought it for the computer. It's a great game. It gives you the freedom to go on a quest or slaughter all the people.You don't have to do a quest or train it gives you more options than that. Kinda like fable but this game is in first person and it lets you make your own character and the people that you kill every thing that you see on their body you can take. Sweet! I gave this game a nine cause the games perfect but it tends to freeze for 5-40 seconds every quest or so. And good music guys keep it up!
| WHAT A GAME! | | A gamer from Green Bay, Wisconsin says (9/Aug/2005): | This game has to be one of the greatest...if not THEE greatest game i have ever played. Yes folks...this game rivals the halo series. Now u may say that the graphics are average...but the graphics are in no way the highlight of the game. The fact that the world is urs to change as u plz makes this game endless in possibilities. Do u feel like killing every person in morrowind...lol its possible at the exception of the guards (they regenerate). Also the fact that the game doesnt tie u down to the main story and quests is nice becuase it allows u a wide array of choices. The addition of being able to join a house or guild broadens the amount of things to do mainly quest's but also gives u a chance to explore more of morrowind. The only negatives of the game that really annoyed me was the fact that money is useless in the game to a certian extent. All of the exceptional armor can be found in many places aside from buying them. If u decide to use cheats u can get a set of glass armor for example at level 1 kinda taking away the whole purpose of it being rare and good. Also, making your way accross the map can be frusterating considering the map is so massive in size. But besides those things the game is well deserving of a perfect 10 (maybe a 9.75). If u need an rpg to keep u busy for a very very long time this is the game for u. (for those who would like some tips on where to find some items of rarity just email me and ill share u my many secrets)
| The best RPG for Xbox yet | | Jason, Lover of HALO from USA, Indiana, Warren says (27/Jul/2005): | How can anyone give this game less than 9 stars? Whoever does deserves to be smacked in the head really, REALLY, hard. So the graphics may not be the BEST considering other new Xbox games, but you must admit, considering any other game system ever created, the different systems graphics will get better over time with new games. As for the sound effects and music, you may think there aren't as many different sounds as in some games, but thats because its such a big game, your instincts automatically expect more. This game is more MASSIVE than almost any other game i've played, and if you think about it, if they tried to make this game as good as some peoples standards, they would have to spend over another year to finish it. If you have ever tried to make or have made a game, you would understand this as much as me. There is more to do in this game than in any other game I have played. So many different weapons, landscapes, cities, quests, people, creatures (though many are hard to find) and proffesions you can choose to take. Be an assassin, barbarian, warrior, archer, thief, executioner, wizard, mage, summoner, healer, hunter, enchanter, alchemist, EVEN A FREAKING WEREWOLF (in the game of the year edition). If you have the game of the year edition, I recommend going to Solsthiem and speaking with the Capitain to do the main quest. When you get far enough to become a werewolf, stay as one, I used that power of the werewolf to move so fast in 2 hours I had explored half of the main continent, Vvardenfell. If anyone even realativly likes fireball throwing, sword lashing, hammer bashing, demon lord summoning medieval RPG's and you have an Xbox or Computer, You WILL get this game, and I guarantee you WILL love this game.
| Freakin awsome | | A gamer from USA says (8/Jul/2005): | This game has been out for over four years i think, it is still one of the biggest and most interactive games out there. i was hooked on this game comepletly, played for 500+ hours. This game rocks, the only complaints i have are the low graphics. other than that it completly wins every other game, even though its considered an old game it still magnificent, you can do anything you want, sleep all day and night, kill monsters, go exploring in caves and ruins, steal everything, get into fights with town villagers, get thrown in jail, get turned into a vampire, everyhing has basically been thought up for this game. I congradulate Bethesda for making an epic game, i hope Morrowind four: oblivion will be just as great, so until i will anxiously wait for the release of the game
| Best Game EVER | | A gamer from Ridgeland, Mississippi says (15/May/2005): | Everyone keeps talking about glass and ebony armor as if it was the best...wrong. High Ordinator is better, but they tend to get pissed if you were to wear it. it. So.. that leaves the legendary $#< remove me > at ! that the creators just love to hide.
1. There's an old stronghold Southeast of the Ushinabai Camp...is that the name? Anyway you probably know what I mean. You have to go there to pass a Nerevarine test. Inside, in the the Dagoth crypt, there will be two troth looking things on either side of the walls. Goto the left one, and instead of looking in it, look behind and underneath it. There will be a set of gloves. Randgaulf's or something. Anyway, my heavy armor wasnt all that great, but they each provided 225 rating...nice. PLUS one had constant fortify agility 30 pts and the other had constant fortify strength 30. There you go.
2. In the tower of Dagon Fel, just south of the city, on the top floor is some wizard who just gets bitchy and doesnt like you from the get-go. Whatever, rip him up and then check his corpse. He'll have a helmet that does 225 armor...they sure like that number. And it fortifies your personality 30 pts...constantly.
| MORROWIND Rocks it is the best game ever!!!!!!!! | | A gamer from Kansas,USA says (15/Feb/2005): | Morrowind rocks. You can do anything,anywhere,anytime! This game is the greatest you can never beat the whole game.There are millions of things to do like which house to join and legendary weapons. If you have every single legendary weapon email me and tell me where you found them. All I have is Umbra. There are millions of types of weapon and armor combinations which you can never always have. There are hundreds and hundreds of missions so you never get bored with Morrowind! It is almost better than the Halo series but just a little under. If your parents don't like you to have fighting games then just tell them that it is an adventure game. Then you can still gut everyone in the game without them knowing.You have this game then you rock!!!!
| Medieval Vice City | | Jeffrey White from Maine, USA says (24/Dec/2004): | Okay, any one who doesn't think that Morrowind deserves seven stars or higher must be on crack, because Morrowind is the best RPG so far... well sort of. I guess I wouldn't it was the BEST but I would deffinitally say it was right up there with the best. In my opinion Morrowind is basically Vice City cast in Medieval times... just you can't steal cars or anything. Well basically the best thing about the game is that you don't have to advance in the plot line to aquire the games best items. For example, once you become strong enough take a visit to Vivice, Telvanni (i think thats how you spell it). Once there go into the plaze, and then the tower thing. Go into it and then follow the path it puts you in until there's a room off to you're left, and a stair well to you're right. Go down the stair well and then off to you're right will be another hallway, with two doors in it. The first one is a prison when the second is the Telvanni vault. Once you go into that room there will be three ordinators. Well, I hope you have a good speechcraft level because you have to kill all three of them. (if you don't know what I mean: admire the guards untill they are 100% and then taunt them till they attack you). Then from there, beat the bloody $#< remove me > at ! from them. Well once they're dead, inspect there bodies and steal a key from one of them. Then head to the end of the room. There will be two doors, one to you're left and the other to you're right. Go to the one of the left, use the key, but be ware that there are two storm atronarchs behind it. Now, I took them down, but that's because I wasted hours and hours upon end leveling up with out doing much of any thing else. Well actually, you don't really even need to be really strong to beat them. Now in this room, there's only one door, and that is the one you came in from. Well there's some sort of dimensional distortion thing... don't really know but go through the door any ways and you'll be in a large room with all sorts of weapons, chest, soulgems...ect. But before you can do much of any thing else, you need to kill the two ordinators in it. Once you've dealt with them the room is pretty much free to steal from. Well, in this room are all sorts of ebony stuff. Two ebony longswords, one ebony claymore, ebony helm, ebony cuirass, ebony spear... alot of stuff. What ever ebony armor you don't find here, you can get in... some town south west of vivic in a big castle (steal it from a dark elf "duke" to get it). Well any ways, also in the room are all kinds of enchanted robes, weapons, amulets... alot of stuff, Have fun! Okay, now for an easy way to get money... it's time consuming though. Go to the vivec temple an then into the high fane room. In the room is a merchant guy who you can of course barter with, but he can also echant items for you. Well he only has nine hundred drakes each day but it's still worth it. There are other people in the room but don't talk to them. Instead go kill the ordinator and steal all his armor. Now, if you didn't already know, ordinator armor is worth alot of cash. And if you're strong you can just kill as many ordinartors as you want and sell there stuff. Well once you have his armor, go talk to the merchant and sell one peice of ordinator armor. You're going to have to reduce the price but after you're done you can just "rest" "sleep" "wait" what ever you want to call it. Once you're done resting just talk to him again and sell some more more armor. Well, I like doing this, but it may not spark your intrest. Well I could tell you more neat stuff, but you probably already know it and this review is already to long. Well cya!
| The Keening and Sunder | | Kail from Peachtreecity, Georgia USA says (16/Dec/2004): | Kail is my guys name in morrowind and he is proboly more powerfull than yall and i know many secrets. many people find them( Keening and Sunder) to early in the game and they equiped them. they also find out that it kills them every time. the only way to hold them is to play on the main story line untill vivec gives you wraithgaurd. this is proboly the best glove in the game and it is the only thing that will make it were you can hold the two wepons. dont try using cheeats, hacks, or enchantments. the power of the wepons kills you in seconds nno matter what you do.
| sd's chit | | sam davies from manchester says (11/Oct/2004): | ive bin on this game 4 half a year and never got bored of it this game is fantastic because you can do things no other game offers like create potions make magical items your self soultrap creatures go on quest to many islands also the grafics a v good u can do watever u want so wat u complainin bare missions and people loads of weapons and armor loads of items to be proud of its just to good im master thief and arch wizard a house brother in house hluulu defender in the fighters guild but no ones stoppin me from completeing this game ive got ebony daedric glass indoral orcish dreugh armor ive got all daedric weapons apart from all marksman based weapons so i would recomend that u get this game but make sure u dont get cought doing bad things cause they make u pay bare sometimes like onetime i robbed an ebony bracelett and had to pay 5,000 from suran
| Best RPG ever brought to gaming | | Mr. Stapleton from Weber City, VA, USA says (2/Sep/2004): | If you are into RPG, Morrowind is ultimate. The rules are... There are no rules! You can literaly get out of the census office and start killing the first person you meet. Oh, the game will warn you if you kill somebody crucial to the storyline, but it won't stop you. You can walk anywhere in the world, train in any skill, become a vampire, you name it. You can master the fighters guild, serve the temple, join the army, rule the theives guild, or climb the ranks of a great house.
This is the best game, but not perfect. The primary problems are minor, the character's don't have a lot of face choices, and the NPC's use the same list, so you end up looking in a mirror a lot. Missions can get too much into the run-an-errand mode. Some of the race choices are too one-class specific. You can't do much besides go on missions. And some of the characters' movements are poor (like looking like you are running with a stick in your rear).
The pros far outwiegh the cons though. You can save anywhere, so you don't have to make a certain save point and can quit at any time. This allows you to spend a little or a lot of time on the game. The characters can train skills. This can allow you to gain in a specific skill and gain levels quickly. You can now become proficient at less used skills, like security (lockpicking), that normally take a long time to build. Mages on this game can advance as quickly as fighters. You are limited by your class, you can use any weapon. If your mage chooses to take up the longsword during the game, he can. And in time, he can actually get very good at it. The main quest is very long, but the endless side-quests (like fighters guild or temple) can be totally completed in a reasonable amount of gameplay.
Morrowind is not only a great game inntially, its great to pick up after you've not played a few months and play again. its open format is as close to pen and paper RPG's as you can possibly get. without a doubt, its the best RPG on the market.
| how too get good stuff right at the start | | patrick etter from tri-cities washington usa says (26/Aug/2004): | in syda neen when u first start and u go into the first building

| what the... | | Squeej from Elgin oregon USA says (21/Jul/2004): | Im not sure who that idiot form Pennsylvania is but he obviously sucks at morrowind to give it a rating of 1. is he high or just stupid?

| Robbing Redoran Vault #1 | | game_gurl101 from Katy (Texas), USA says (8/Jul/2004): | Im sorry, in my last post I totaly forgot this major thing I had for you guys that could get you lots of money! Im gonna tell you how to rob the first Redoran Vault! Arnt you lucky? ^_^
Okay, as some may know, the vaults are all in Vivec and in the canton with the house's name. But, before you go rushing over there, were gonna take a little sidequest.
I believe you go to Ginis and make your up, by foot, untill you reach a little pond with a woman beside it. She'll ask you to retrieve her ring, which fell in the water. She also says that shes a dance teacher in Ginis and that she'll give you a reward afterwards (I believe that she strongly hinted at doing "it" with her afterwards, dont remember though). Anyway, so you go down to the pond and search for it. If you really want to find it, its under the leaves somewhere, but its really hard to find, so I usually just skip it and head back up.
Once your back up look to the left of the pond, and, if you look hard enough, you will see a Wood Elf there clad in armor. Obviously the little bitch was gonna have you get her ring, then they were goning to attack you (Ive never gotten the ring, but my brother did and he said that thats what happens). So, you march over there and kick his ass! If you avoid the woman, she wont fight you, but you can kill her anyway if you want. So, after you have deafeted the Wood Elf, check him and grab his amulet. After that, you can go to Vivec and to the Redoran Canton.
Once there go to the Redoran Plaza and equip the amulet, dont use it yet though, just have it ready to use. Go to the house that, when you first enter, shows a lot of chairs and tables....and I think has a Dark Elf clad in gold armor in the corner. Yeah, plus you can go up the stairs and into a room thats in the middle. Thats where you want to go. You will see a woman in there though, so, before you open the door, cast the invisiblity spell from the amulet. Now open the door and then walk over to the dresser, open it, grab the key, and haul ass outta there. Remeber to avoid the blows from the people.
Now before you head off to the vault, you might want to grab from unhinging spells and a telepot that takes you to the nearest temple or fort. Or maybe a $#< remove me > at ! load of Sujamas. But please grab some of those things first.
Now its pretty obvious as to where you go,. To the Redoran Vault #1! I always wait until nobodys looking (by crouching) and then opening the vault, then going in and waiting until the guard goes out, then shutting the door. Now you are free to loot the entire place!!! They usually have glass armor there too, which might be worth keeping.
Now that you have done that, you may ask yourself, "Who the hell am I going to sell this stuff to?? No one has this kinda money!!!" Except one guy! Go to Caldron and go to the orc manor. On the second floor is a creature named Creeper. He has 5000 on him. I think it was that much anyway. Anyway, sell your small stuff to him first. Then sleep there, buy it back the next day and he wil have more than 5000 dollars! He refreshes his money of 5000 every day. Repeat the process until you have sold all the items you dont want.
I hope this has helped out a lot! It sure helped me! But dont thank me (if you even planned on it) thank my brother, he found out about this and told me.
| I think im gonna cry | | game_gurl101 from Katy(Texas), USA says (7/Jul/2004): | At first I wasnt gonna try Morrowind beacuse, frankly, we were short on money at the time I heard about it. But once my birthday rolled around I got a $#< remove me > at ! load of cash, prompting me to go to a used game store and check things out. I got an SNES first, since my first broke, and Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland. And since my brothers b-day is right after mine, I searched for something for him. And I saw, right on the shelf, a Morrorwind game. And so I got it for him.
Later I asked him how he was faring on the game, he said it was great. And so I asked him if I could try it once. He said sure, when he wasnt on it. That took another year or so. Anyway, when I got it hes character looked awsome, so I started my quest to make my character cooler. When I first played it, it was awsome. It took awhile to get used to the controls though, seeing as how I used to a playstation controller, but I got the hang of it pretty fast.
The graphics are okay, I mean, there not awsome like Legend of Dragoon or Chrono Cross, but they're still great. And I love how you can pick what way you want your character to look, the different clothes you can choose, the paths you can take, and all of that. But aside from all that fun stuff, there is a story line, believe it or not.
Its basically this, the Dunmer (more commonly known as Dark Elves) are totally pissed that other outsiders are taking over their home. So, they start telling of their prophecy where their lord will kill everyone else. You job is to kill him before he kills you. I cant remember most parts, seeing as how my brother wont let me on his Xbox anymore, but thats about it.
While your playing you can simply blow off the main course of the game and go join guilds, be a mercenary, and rob tombs. One thing to do first is join a Great House, and, if you advance enough, they can will give you a house of your own. Let me explain the House's.
House Telvanni. This house circles around magical users. I've heard they're a pretty rough bunch cuz they hate outsiders (and thats what you are) and usually dont accept them into their House. But dont worry, you can still get in. They are loacted in the small islands that are all bunched up in the East.
House Redoran. My favorite House ^_^ This house is mainly for upfront fighters, like me. I forget where they are loacted, but it was a dusty town with lots of crossiant shaped houses. (Im not joking, thats what the houses reminded me of)
House Hlaalu. This is the one my brother joined, even though hes a mage. This house is for theives. Obviously my brothers character wasnt a full theif, but he made it the top of the house anyway. They are located in your first big town.
Remember, once you join a House, you cant simply just quit and jon another one. I dont remember the details, but I think that even if you are fired or something like that, that you have to plead forgivness intil your let back in, and even during that time you cant join another House.
I think this game was awsome, and if you loved this you should diffinatly try the PC version. I havent tired it, but my brother did and I saw some wicked looking houses on there. (They were free too)
| finally! a game where i can be myself w/out dealing with real cops. | | alex jeffs from California USA says (2/Jul/2004): | i am really glad this game came out. it is perfect because i wont get a lawsuit everytime i do something "wrong". i like how u can steal literally anything you want to. i have beaten the game and i know that there are some people i killed and a message would say that i screwed up the story even though i have already beaten it and their names have never shown up. overall this game rocks with transportation, the midevil setting, the "do whatever you want privelage", getting houses, running from the law, and discovering head splitting amounts of sidequests. the Game of the year edidtion makes it even better going to solstheim and using the nord's severed leg as a weapon. the only 5 things that would make it perfect would be if it didn't freeze every 2 hours, they need at least some people in the game who aren't ugly and unattractive, they need to make it online so you can play with your friends (yes, there would be stupid people who would kill everyone but they could make it so the NPCs would respawn). it would be better if a sword would kill enemies a little faster instead of stabbing an unarmored civilian for an hour with a broadsword until they finally die. lastly, a "continue" option would be usefull for when you die by a weak looking person who looked harmless(until he brought out his daedric war hammer of doom) and kills you in one hit. i liked having a social status and when you run, you get faster and when you jump, you eventually get good enough to jump a lot higher. i would recommend this game to everybody cuz there wasn't a lot you coulden't do.
| Good or Evil? Orc or Elf? Thief or Cop? Morrowind in a Nutshell. Have Fun. | | Master Chief's Apprentice from Halo, Deep Space says (24/Apr/2004): | Morrowind... A nerdy PC game they decided to bring to the Xbox because they realised it's impossible to play games with a Keyboard and a mouse. Welcome to a world or wizards, oddly coloured people (no i've always been green, why?) and people who can survive many swipes with an axe, Welcome to Morrowind!
Gameplay 8/10:
I enjoyed many an hour stealing things and shoplifting and killing people so I could use their house for the night, no in the game... Really. I found stealing things and pick pocketing people on this really fun. So fun I actually joined the thieves guild in a big f< remove me > at *! you to the story line. Of course, it's not all about stealing stuff, there's a plot somewhere to... I think...
Graphics 7/10:
The visuals are great, from the real flowng water to the fire affects, all the way to the gittery frame rate. Oh yeah, the frame rate kind of goes skewish when you see someone in the distance, and the character animation is pretty much avarage. I think the frame rate is something they should definatly think about before making any more Elder Scrolls for the Xbox. It's a shame really...
Sound 4/10:
It really bugged me how the same track of a wolf howling kept going on. And no one talks to you... It's so, lonely...
Lifespan 9/10:
If you can get into it and try to complete it and stuff it'll last you ages, likewise if you just want to steal 1000 gold worth of items from everywhere on ther map. Although it only lasted me a couple of weeks before I got bored. Although that's me, I threw some papers I was asposed to give to the guy to start the story in the river and joined the thieves guild. You can actually try playing it.
Verdict 8/10:
Great game really, although as an RPG it really suffers from a lack of a real storyline and characters you care about. Yeah, maybe I expect to much after playing Final Fantasy, but if there are more RPG's where you can hit and run stealing a 300 gold value sword and just move to another city then I'm all for it. Elder Scrolls IV anyone?
