This was the first Elder Scrolls title developed under Todd Howard (though he and his team made Redguard first) so it's not surprising that the game is so different from the first two. In fact one could almost say there are two eras of Elder Scrolls games due to the differences in graphics, gameplay, and century (since the first two games were made in the '90s).
I'm actually finding Skyrim to have more in common with Morrowind than Oblivion. The Nordic art design and the color palette are more in line with Morrowind (compared to the bright and colorful Oblivion). The Imperial armor design goes back to the Roman style and Dwemer artifacts are all over the place.
Why does everyone hate on skyrim? If you just accept it for what it is (bethesda trying to appeal to a larger audience) its not that bad. At least its not the steaming fucking pile of shit that was oblivion.
@xxlogandxx1 Yes, Morrowind lacking fast traveling is a downer, but that gives you more oppurtunities to explore. Example, on my way to a city (been so long i forgot the name), I found about 5 caves, and about 3 people on the side of the road, each unique, each offering fun side quests.
@RandomElderScrollFan Yes and I've played it. But I think it's just degrading to morrowind. It makes morrowind look like just another oblivion add-on.
I had this on Xbox (playing on 360) and the load times made it unplayable(10-15 minutes, yes I timed it)! Recently got it on PC playing on my Acer Aspire laptop and found a new love for it XD. Moral of the story, If you can get the PC version DO IT!
@DWTerminator Will Morrowind run faster on an Xbox 360 with a 200 GB hard drive? I have Morrowind for PC and absolutely love it, but my PC isnt the best, so I constantly experience bugs and the occasional freeze and/or crash. Please respond.
Not really. It'll run about the same, probably. And everyone experiences crashes in Morrowind... It's just Bethesda's lack of QA and programming skills.
Do note that you *cannot* put mods on the Xbox version.
@JakubFTW YES. it will. ignore DWTerminators reply, it will be fast. the initial load will run you maybe a minute and a half, but every load thereafter will be 2-7 seconds.
@joeyxl3456 well I had a used copy and played it on 360 rather than the original Xbox, so maybe that had something to do with it. But still on PC its like 5 to 7 seconds.
@knackigersalat Yes, but you might need to update the backwards compatability on your 360 (can be done through xbox live or look on xbox.com to find the backwards compatablility disc download)
But I have to stress that the loading times are TERRIBLE!! I know its a little more money, but I reccomend you get the PC version if you can.
@DWTerminator you obviously havnt played the game enough because its not overall baron landscape and i reckon the music gives a sense of company wich is very appropriate for a lonely baron wasteland anyway... give it at least 150 hours it'l grow on you
To me this is the best rpg in the pc - vast world,real free roaming,you can practically go anywhere, even fly-levitate ;)- plus A-MA-ZING graphics for its time, the first time i saw the game was at a friend's pc and i 'fell in love' (sick). And one of the most original fantasy worlds i have ever seen-it really felt like ANOTHER world- high fantasy. A masterpiece!
Skyrim fanboys are some of, if not THE stupidest people I've ever seen in my life. It doesn't matter now whether or not the game itself is any good (which I'm certain it isn't) because those morons have completely ruined it. Deal with it.
By babbling on and on endlessly about how it's the most amazing thing ever in the history of mankind and screaming obscenities at me for thinking otherwise (thus apparently having a brain is a terrible thing).
@DWTerminator The problem with the Twilight series comparison is that theres a significant proportion of people who despise twilight after having read it, such as critics or even other girls who cant get into it like the fangirls can.
Skyrim has gotten pretty amazing reviews across the board (including user reviews)with the main problems being bugs. I really dont understand what source you have that tells you skyrim is just a piece of shit.
@metaitachi There are plenty of reviews on skyrim that tell you the real flaws about the game and why it's nowhere near comparable to good rpgs.You should look harder and not give into the hype.Bugs isn't quite nearly the problem why skyrim is not that great of a game.I myself found the game shallow and boring after awhile with no immersion at all because of how generic everything becomes later on.It's just a sandbox game with everything made out of concrete,nothing you do effects anything.
@darklord1294 The vast majority of reviews are positive though, if you look at the metacritic score. Same with the user reviews. Obviously different people have different opinions but most people across the board agree its an amazing game.
@metaitachi I am not giving opinions,I am stating facts as to why this game isn't that great of a rpg people make it out to be.Alas,the casual simple minded masses win again.This game is now the pinnacle of rpgs for them and it is what the future of rgps will be.I look for a complex engaging story in my rpgs,which this game is devoid of entirely.I don't want to go into it's flaws right now but this series is just getting worst.
@darklord1294 Fair enough but i dont think this series was ever about a super complex intricate main story (according to DWs reviews, the stories were never great for the elder scrolls). Its more about the exploration and side quests and all of that stuff. Theres nothing wrong with having an accessible RPG, i personally get annoyed with games like Witcher 2 where i simply dont feel compelled to learn the intricacies. Skyrim is for that crowd. Not for superduper hardcore rpg fans.
@metaitachi I guess,I'm asking too much from bethesda.But things are simply too broken or monotonous up to a certain point which makes the game lackluster for me.It's too superficial all in all.I'm not much into sidequests and all because you don't feel involved in anything and even if you find something whilst exploring,you can create a better item yourself.I didn't like the guilds quests too,felt like rushing through them(they were short).It seems I spend too much time hating on video games.
@DWTerminator Agreed. I mean I am just as hype as any elder scrolls fan, and tbh, I think Skyrim is one of the best games of all time. I do, however, recognize Morrowind's brilliance. But even all game opinions aside, it's not their love for skyrim that makes them annoying, it's their fucking obsession with "Fus Ro Dah" and "taking an arrow to the knee". It's not funny and you don't hear me spamming about "Nerevarine" instead of "Dovahkiin"...
@DWTerminator (which I'm certain it isn't). certain?! Why don't u play the game before u make that decision. It's like people hating Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 but they have not played it. So don't say Skyrim is BAD when u have not even played it.
@Restaalin It seems that you haven't really played Daggerfall. You are wrong about Skyrim, the cracks in the diamond ring are showing and it is huge.
I alwasy thought that the music (definitely not the sound effects.) fit the game very well. The music to my kinda speaks to me as that your alone in an adventure to save the world. I don't know sorry if this did not make much sense :|
Yeah i agree with you. Especially the content it offers. Such as the More Items - loot, more skills to increase, more caves and tombs, daedric ruins and dwemer ruins, forts, pyramid forts so much stuff. You could make your own spells. Alchemy was much easier. *for me*
More quests, mini-quests, and large quests. More guilds to join and others like the houses and imperial cult. And Easy Empire Company. And also the DLC was much better IMO. Way better.
The combat really isn't too bad, you will hit the enemy much more then 2-3 times from 25 hits.. I have played Morrowind a lot, and I have to say that the combat is extremely fast paced after a certain point, you will literally zoom around the enemy to bring him down.. I can get a full iron armor with a silver claymore in 10 minutes into the game (without stealing.), just by looting and selling. It is actually easy to gear up in the beginning.
@geenius3ab I had never understood people that crying about combat in Morrowind. Absorb health+ ebony staff= 1 hit death to ANY, I said ANYYYY creature in the game+ self heal. Do you want more? Make the enchant on the staff with 100 yard radius and enjoy mass killing with 1 hit. All creatures die if you hit just 1 of them. Only exception are Gods. For exmaple Vivec.
@alekslario Depends on your difficulty there.. On hard difficulty it is going to take much more then 1 hit, as the mobs will be 4 times stronger, making the game pretty damn enjoyable.
And in all honesty I haven't tried your way, absorb health shouldn't be that strong for one, ebony staff isn't doing that much dmg either, so I can't see it being that powerful.
I usually do the tribunal storyline before the morrowind one, makes thing easy, but I enjoy tribunal too much to pass.
@geenius3ab You should try it:S It's not about physical dmg. All you need is Azure's Star+ Ebony Staff. As well I always had 2nd staff with frost/fire enchants, in case when I needed to kill someone with high magic resistance.
the bad thing about morrowind is that i COULDN'T explore, or even do any quests for that matter, everything is at least level ten above everywhere you go, in all the missions, everything so i just keep getting killed. it takes forever to level up, and usually i all classes i make turn up to be crap so i just end up being stuck unable to do anything, and i just end up quitting. god i can't imagine how bad daggerfall is!
I'm running the Morrowind graphics and Sound overhaul, with over 100 other mods. Let me jsut say on a Vanilla stand point I don't completely agree with your review, but it is your opinion. Anyway, my Morrowind, puts Skyrim to shit, let alone Oblivion.
I actually love graphics like these. Some people say the Zelda Ocarina of Time graphics suck, but they're my favorite graphics out there. I started playing this game today and I love it. Mw3 can suck Elder Scrolls dick.
@JakubFTW What do you mean? When OoT came out, it has PHENOMENAL graphics. Obviously now, it shows its age. Also, you can still admire its art style and charm but obviously the graphics are dated.
Nope. Back when it came out you did, but these days pretty much anything *should* be able to max it. The problem I ran into was that newer cards have a hard time with DirectX 8.1 stuff.
I do not agree with your view on Morrowind music, "everything is happy, joy-joy", because the idea behind the music is not to be dark, but to be mystic, mysterious, 'cuz you are in not so well known land... Bombastic battle music would ruin the atmoshphere IMO. Decent review in other aspects (little note - if you use points on begging of the game on combat skill, you will be compact with weapons almost from the beggining).
The problem with Morrowind's music is that it's simply too relaxing. Instead of conveying a mysterious or dark feel like it probably should, it comes across as "just chill, dude, everything's all good." I wasn't asking for bombastic battle music either, but something with more "oomph" would be a lot better. As it stands it's pretty gentle and as a result doesn't really convey a sense of battle.
the flaws didn't stop me from loving this, I'd never played a game that was so open and exciting to explore. I couldn't get anywhere till I created a char with good magic and combat from the start. choose a dark elf, short blade and destruction you can't go wrong.
Imo the combat isn't bad!! If you haven't done a mage-warrior-tief combination and chose a weapon skill as major, you wont have any trouble hitting anything... unless your fatigue is down ;P
Man this game was awesome, I must of put in 300+ hours into it and I was still finding new stuff to do. The expansions were epic, the way you could level your acrobatics up to 100 and Spiderman your way around Balmora, it has to be like one of the greatest games I've ever played. Way better then Oblivion.
You can add them, sure. I didn't remember to mention them in this review (I don't script these things, lest I sound like a total idiot when I read them), but suffice to say they didn't play a role in the score itself.
out of 25 strikes you would probably hit 2 times? your exaderating it alot lol, if you use longblade and pick it as a major skill it is much higher chance that that
The animations are terrible. But if you really want to enjoy a extremely deep, extremely satisfying RPG, this is your choice. All in all it deserves nothing less than a 5/5, most of your negative comments were mainly because it is an aged game. Although you treated Daggerfall with more respect to its aging. Liked and subbed :)
Not all of my negative comments are due to the game's age. It does have legitimate shortcomings in its design that should've been ironed-out before release, but nothing too terrible. Daggerfall's actually aged a lot better than Morrowind has (and that tends to be the case with 2D games vs. 3D ones).
bro cmon are you serious, the music in morrowind MAKES the game its sooo wonderful. i still get sad (in a good way) when i hear Morrowinds music. love it.
i thought morrowind was so awsome the first time i started playing it got to lv 40 on 1 char than i picked up gothic 2 ever since i cant get back into the elderscrolls series there just so boring anymore
I am a huge morrowind fan, but I don't gonna sit here and pretend that morrowind is a perfect game. The combat IS bad, animation is bad, and the no matter how good your skill in combat is you still got dice rolls, you only get more likely to hit in higher skill levels. I lost so many times in combat due to random dice rolls, it become a spam fest with no acual skill, just try again untill you win. The music is kinda funny, you go exploring a dark scary tomb, then the joy music starts to play XD
I feel like you seriously exagerated the combat system. 2 out of 25 hits? This is why it is an RPG. If you want to use swords, pick a combat oriented race, major in long blade, and boom, even at level 1, the majority of your hits will land. I'm not excusing the way the system was made, it definately is flawed, but statement like that are what scare potential new players away. Unlike Oblivion, this is a much truer RPG, and you have to treat it as such.
holyfuck you scared me when you started talking like dark elf style.

Daggerfall is like a big mossy boulder. Huge but rather dull.

Oblivion is like cubic zirconia. Looks a lot like the diamond, but lacks its true value and depth.
Skyrim is like a diamond ring. Much of diamond has been cut away to make it fit, but it's more useable than the uncut gem. Appreciated by the masses.

@Sh4d3h00f
Yeah i agree with you. Especially the content it offers. Such as the More Items - loot, more skills to increase, more caves and tombs, daedric ruins and dwemer ruins, forts, pyramid forts so much stuff. You could make your own spells. Alchemy was much easier. *for me*
More quests, mini-quests, and large quests. More guilds to join and others like the houses and imperial cult. And Easy Empire Company. And also the DLC was much better IMO. Way better.

In all honesty I disagree on many parts..
The combat really isn't too bad, you will hit the enemy much more then 2-3 times from 25 hits.. I have played Morrowind a lot, and I have to say that the combat is extremely fast paced after a certain point, you will literally zoom around the enemy to bring him down.. I can get a full iron armor with a silver claymore in 10 minutes into the game (without stealing.), just by looting and selling. It is actually easy to gear up in the beginning.

@geenius3ab I had never understood people that crying about combat in Morrowind. Absorb health+ ebony staff= 1 hit death to ANY, I said ANYYYY creature in the game+ self heal. Do you want more? Make the enchant on the staff with 100 yard radius and enjoy mass killing with 1 hit. All creatures die if you hit just 1 of them. Only exception are Gods. For exmaple Vivec.

@alekslario Depends on your difficulty there.. On hard difficulty it is going to take much more then 1 hit, as the mobs will be 4 times stronger, making the game pretty damn enjoyable.
And in all honesty I haven't tried your way, absorb health shouldn't be that strong for one, ebony staff isn't doing that much dmg either, so I can't see it being that powerful.
I usually do the tribunal storyline before the morrowind one, makes thing easy, but I enjoy tribunal too much to pass.
geenius3ab 2 months ago
@geenius3ab You should try it:S It's not about physical dmg. All you need is Azure's Star+ Ebony Staff. As well I always had 2nd staff with frost/fire enchants, in case when I needed to kill someone with high magic resistance.

the bad thing about morrowind is that i COULDN'T explore, or even do any quests for that matter, everything is at least level ten above everywhere you go, in all the missions, everything so i just keep getting killed. it takes forever to level up, and usually i all classes i make turn up to be crap so i just end up being stuck unable to do anything, and i just end up quitting. god i can't imagine how bad daggerfall is!

I'm running the Morrowind graphics and Sound overhaul, with over 100 other mods. Let me jsut say on a Vanilla stand point I don't completely agree with your review, but it is your opinion. Anyway, my Morrowind, puts Skyrim to shit, let alone Oblivion.

Nope. Back when it came out you did, but these days pretty much anything *should* be able to max it. The problem I ran into was that newer cards have a hard time with DirectX 8.1 stuff.

I do not agree with your view on Morrowind music, "everything is happy, joy-joy", because the idea behind the music is not to be dark, but to be mystic, mysterious, 'cuz you are in not so well known land... Bombastic battle music would ruin the atmoshphere IMO. Decent review in other aspects (little note - if you use points on begging of the game on combat skill, you will be compact with weapons almost from the beggining).
Meljov 4 months ago
The problem with Morrowind's music is that it's simply too relaxing. Instead of conveying a mysterious or dark feel like it probably should, it comes across as "just chill, dude, everything's all good." I wasn't asking for bombastic battle music either, but something with more "oomph" would be a lot better. As it stands it's pretty gentle and as a result doesn't really convey a sense of battle.
DWTerminator 3 months ago
the flaws didn't stop me from loving this, I'd never played a game that was so open and exciting to explore. I couldn't get anywhere till I created a char with good magic and combat from the start. choose a dark elf, short blade and destruction you can't go wrong.

Concerning the near constant combat, I found I never could go in the water because it immediately became a clusterfuck of violence.
Oblivion really tempered that. Much less aggressive and far fewer in number were the enemies.

Man this game was awesome, I must of put in 300+ hours into it and I was still finding new stuff to do. The expansions were epic, the way you could level your acrobatics up to 100 and Spiderman your way around Balmora, it has to be like one of the greatest games I've ever played. Way better then Oblivion.

I disagree with you in many ways however that's not your fault as its your opinion.
I played and beat Morrowind as well as the expansions.
Morrowind is by far my favorite game of all time, i've easily played it 500+ hours.
It's the only game i've ever played that has fully immersed me in the game world and i pray that Skyrim takes notes from it.
Not trolling, just love this game to the point that i can see no evil in it lol.
Other than that good review, thorough, deep, and thought out.

Great review. I agree with most of the stuff you said, the combat is what turns most people off when they start playing Morrowind.
My little advice to those who do not want to grind alot to actually be able to hit something should;
1. pick "Agility" as one of your main attributes.
2. Pick "The Lover" as birthsign which grants you 25 points to Agility.
And voila! Now you are able to hit stuff alot more at Level 1!
Have fun!

You can add them, sure. I didn't remember to mention them in this review (I don't script these things, lest I sound like a total idiot when I read them), but suffice to say they didn't play a role in the score itself.

Good review DWterminator.
The animations are terrible. But if you really want to enjoy a extremely deep, extremely satisfying RPG, this is your choice. All in all it deserves nothing less than a 5/5, most of your negative comments were mainly because it is an aged game. Although you treated Daggerfall with more respect to its aging. Liked and subbed :)
TspawnCamper 6 months ago
Not all of my negative comments are due to the game's age. It does have legitimate shortcomings in its design that should've been ironed-out before release, but nothing too terrible. Daggerfall's actually aged a lot better than Morrowind has (and that tends to be the case with 2D games vs. 3D ones).

I am a huge morrowind fan, but I don't gonna sit here and pretend that morrowind is a perfect game. The combat IS bad, animation is bad, and the no matter how good your skill in combat is you still got dice rolls, you only get more likely to hit in higher skill levels. I lost so many times in combat due to random dice rolls, it become a spam fest with no acual skill, just try again untill you win. The music is kinda funny, you go exploring a dark scary tomb, then the joy music starts to play XD

I feel like you seriously exagerated the combat system. 2 out of 25 hits? This is why it is an RPG. If you want to use swords, pick a combat oriented race, major in long blade, and boom, even at level 1, the majority of your hits will land. I'm not excusing the way the system was made, it definately is flawed, but statement like that are what scare potential new players away. Unlike Oblivion, this is a much truer RPG, and you have to treat it as such.
