My Favorite Elder Scrolls Title By Far
You will not find a more divisive title in the role-playing game pantheon. Morrowind divides the millions of Elder Scrolls fans into two camps: those who believe it is bar none the best Elder Scrolls game and those who most definitely do not. There is really no in-between. I happen to fall into the Morrowind camp. I think it is the best Elder Scrolls game and a top-5 all-time cRPG among Ultima 7, KOTOR, and a few others. This game does not hold your hand. You are dumped onto the big island and from there you are pretty much on your own with only a single quest to find a guy in a nearby city. Whether you even talk to that guy is completely up to you. You could just ignore that intro quest and pretty much never address it as you live your own virtual life. This game was far more static than either its predecessor Daggerfall, and its successor, Oblivion. The world is not build around the player. There are extremely dangerous areas right from the beginning of the game that you could accidentally wonder in to. This adds an element of realism missing from most games these days that rely heavily on level-scaling to give accessibility. This game is not as accessible at the very beginning but once you have practiced your skills and carefully explored for a while the world opens up to you and you find yourself hooked. This game is pretty deep. Fighters have lots of weapons and armor combos to choose from (armor comes in light-medium and heavy styles and is divided into legs, torso, shoulder, gloves, and helms for endless combos) and magic users can make their own spells using the in-game spell maker system that has become legendary. This game is awesome and it's tough to really go into it all on here because there is so much to talk about. Just go get it.
