The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
The latest and greatest RPG-offering from Bethesda.
Graphically, Vvardenfell is beautiful and densely populated with characters, creatures, and organic life. It literally consists of miles and miles of land that is not to be taken lightly. It is easy to say that there is at least 100 hours of gameplay here, and even more if the player is in no real hurry. Morrowind should not be viewed as a typical RPG where the player is on a rail system heading toward a final confrontation that will end the story. This game is more like the life of a player’s alter-ego, and should be considered as such before anyone even attempts to play it. You will not get anywhere by playing this title haphazardly, for minutes at a time… this title, like EverQuest, will consume all of your time and energy. The sound is subtle and accurate, and everything sounds the way you think it should. The music is, however, extremely repetitive… it seems that there is one main track in Morrowind that runs on repeat and picks up in tempo and volume and adds a musical “sting” at the beginning of a combat sequence. The main flaw with Morrowind is in its gameplay. To put it bluntly, the combat system is horrible. This is another area where the developers seem to mimic EverQuest slightly, excepting in the fact that the attacks are completely controlled by the player. Weapons are swung or fired with the right trigger, and their effectiveness, naturally, is dependent upon the character’s skill levels. The whole game is done from a first-person perspective (you can change to a third person view, but it is essentially worthless in combat so odds are you will ignore it), and there is no discernable way to tell how much damage you’ve inflicted on an enemy. This has been rectified on the PC version with a patch (a health meter now appears above an enemy’s head while in battle, and then gradually disappears if one of the combatants runs away), but as stated above, there’s no such fix for the Xbox. There has been some talk about releasing an update via Xbox Magazine’s pack-in CD (the way the extras for DOA3 were delivered) and also through the future inception of the “Xbox LIVE” internet service, but that has yet to be decided. Since the whole pitch of the Xbox centered on it being a true console and not a mini-pc, it is understandable that Microsoft tends to vehemently avoid the whole patching mentality. There is a quest of sorts at the heart of Morrowind, but you’ll spend so much time involved in the nooks and crannies of Vvardenfell, you’re bound to forget it completely. The game does record progress via the character’s “journal,” but it is kept in such a disorganized fashion that you’ll spend time leafing through the pages just trying to find out what quest you were in the middle of before you set out on one of Morrowind’s hundreds of “diversions.” All in all, this is a landmark title. Its open-ended gameplay will appeal to those who adore a real-time RPG and its sheer size (again, this has to be the biggest world ever created for a game) will bolster that appeal. However, its size may also act as a deterrent for those who simply don’t have the time to get that deeply involved. If these words fail to convey what is in store for a potential player, just know that the official Morrowind strategy guide clocks in at 370 pages. For those on the fence about what version to get, rest easy. They are identical games offering the same experience. The PC version requires quite the monster machine to run effectively (a 1Ghz machine with 256 Megs of RAM or better is recommended), so if your machine doesn’t meet those specs, you should take into account the fact that you could probably purchase an Xbox and Morrowind for less than what it would cost to upgrade (or replace) your PC. If you have the time, and would love to immerse yourself in another world in the most literal sense possible, this game is for you. If you’re expecting Final Fantasy type antics from this, stay far away.

I played Morrowind and thought it was great at first, yet I'm beginnign to think Bestheda are barking up the wrong tree with their quest for total freedom. It really is not the be-all-end-all. Games like BGII, Planescape torment and Fallout all had smaller worlds and less freedom, but IMO were superior because of the higher quality of quests and story. Morrowinds still a cool game, just don't expect any of the hundereds of quests to be top notch.
greatest rpg ever
I agree with the dude. I played it for a few dyas but was overwhelmed with the freedom and eventualy put off by the scale of the game. It's well made and looks great but there ain't enough direction to it. And the static nature of the NPCs detracts from the believability
At first i was skeptical on how the game would turn out as I played along...but i found myself playing for countless hours enjoying the realistic traits of Morrowind. The only gripe i have, is that it needs direction...what is the purpose of being in Morrowind. Who is the main enemy? Oh yeah...I am sick and tired of being called an "outlander", man i played longed enough to be addressed as my character!
I wish you guys would tell us how to become a vampire or great warrior...
Kill Dagoth Ur and they will stop calling you an outlander and start dribbling on about how it is a pleasure to meet you. If you want to be a resident, just kill the Orc in Balmora and use his house.
i need the enemy health patch
hey ppl what guild or house is the best to join?
I think that the gaurds in balmora should be more strong i can killthem with ten arrows
i think the game is the best even though there should be more of a shall we say plot to follow
when i saw my bro playing the game i thought it was boring but then i played it and it is awesome all i do though is go around and kill people villagers and then pay the fine and then go kill more people
I going to get morrowind and it looks stunning, im only a bit worried about how you hit people with yopur weapons. But if you can make potions and have nearly the same amount of intricacy as the real world i'll be pleased.
morrowind ruls that all i can say :)
When I look at the screenshots on the web, they are always nice and colourfull, why it always comes out dull and desaturated on my screen? It does not happen with any other games.
many hours of fun
so are you saying that the construction set will/is all ready out for the xbox
you can beome a vampire by fighting one and then running away you should then wait three days and youll be a vampire
people will either fight you or run away on sight
you will have super strength
you will receive a low level of damage if you arein direct sunlight
you get two extra powerful spells
Were can I find a vampire in morrowind
This game rocks. I am a wargamer and picked up this RPG on a lark. 9 months later, I had finally run out of things to do. It takes me back to the days of Ultima, quest of the avitar.
well i was was checking out ansertral tombs there was one near a swamp town (not seyda nee) in bitter coast reigon that had 6 vampires in it
i killed them all.. no cheating
I'm now a level 50something vampire, my only problem is....nothing can kill me anymore...I now have nothing to do except kill guards by the tens and fives....I'm pretty bored of it by now and I NEED to find something to do!!!what in gods name am I supposed to do to make the game interesting???
I have been playing RPGs for both pc and console since Final Fantasy first made its appearance in Japan and I tell you what.
This is by far number one!
With awsome versatility and complexity, ES 3 has kept me hooked since it came out!
I have made over 25 different characters and still have come nowhere near the limit to different classes, and thats NOT including the default classes.
i need to know how to become a vampire and how to find them ive had no luck for the 5 months ie been playing this game :-( i really need some help.
How do you get into the Puzzle Canal - It says something about breathing the waters and there is a white translucent barrier stopping me getting into the puzzle canal.
Great game - I keeping coming down with an illness that prevents me going to work.
Seriously how do you kill Dagoth Ur i mean im in 26 but he brung up like you are un armed something about some tools what are they?
This is one the best games I have every played. I didn't fully realise this until I blanked my hard drive and started to play it agin from the start. It never fails to surprise me and is truely engrossing.
True certain aspects of it are short of perfect. Yes it's true that many of the quests are pretty boring. Also, you can spend a lot of time just wandering about. However this is also what makes it fantastic. Time can be spent exploring the environment and unearthing hidden tombs and abadoned ruins.
So there you have decide for yourself, at least give it a play.
I Cant freakin figure out how to do the dissapearence of the dwarfs qest even though i went into all the ruins and talked to the fat guy in corprusarium ???
I LOVE U
if u are hit with a spell or weapon from a vampire does it still turn u into a vampire or does it have to be a hand to hand attack ?
Game of the Year edition of Morrowind for X-Box contains both the extra add-ons (already available for pc) and the patches like the health meter for monsters ...
Gah! how do i get into the Puzzle Canal? i have NO clue :(
go to red mountain, the cavern of the incarnate is up there and u get in only at 6 in the morning and at night
go to vivics palace and go into one of the water fall gates the middle is in gate 3 but i dont know how to get past the barrier thing that says breath his water and glory and the path will be made clear
my commen is really a question....
how can i become a vampire and does it have bad afects on my char?
fighters is my favourite im the leader of mine but not much to do now its borin ask me anny other question bout morrowinds k coz i no all
drown in the water in the puzzle canal, trust me
I have played this game for almost 3 years on computer and xbox ive beat it on xbox and am working on PC.However i warn any who want to buy this game this is a game that you must be three things to play the storyline on this.1.patience 2.persistence 3.and a want to become the best warrior in all of morrowind.There are so many things to do and so many weapons to use and make.
Those who want to know what the best house or guild to join is it all depends on what you want money prestige or power if you want money join the morag tong situated in vivec foreign quarter canalworks.Or House Hllalu both are prestige and good good money.For honor and prestige join Redoran or Temple.For power and quick level ups join Telvanni
Mages Guild or Fighters.Really it all depends on level difrential.Personally i like variety you can join many and almost all.
they are cool
What is the use for the souls rocks or pieces. If is for enchanting how you can enchant the items
easily the best RPG
I agree wit ninja
Started the Elder Scrolls game with Daggerfall, and this one is the best game I have played! I see a lot of people gripping about direction. If you want someone to hold your hand and lead you by the nose play Neverwinter Nights. This is a game for those of us that want to snub their nose at the rest of the RPG world for chapters, and eras, and periods.
Or if you want to play Morrowind with direction, follow the starting quest! You beat the game that way, or join a house, follow their quests. Have one of the NPC's lead you by the nose or cry to mummy.
As to those complaining about being an outlander *shrugs* it happens, welcome to racism, we see it everyday in the real world, now you're the minority if you weren't already, and if you DO happen to be a racist, remember how you felt in a GAME about being called different, then think of how you are treating a real live human. I personally got over the outlander part, besides, I'm archmagister of House Telavanni, everyone thinks I suit the land very well and am more than welcome to ask anything I please :-P
Well that was my rant, if you dun like the game, play a diff one, if you love the game, than HUZZAH, live long and prosper and you rock!
I saw my cousin playing it and boy did i think it sucked. But then I tryed it and it was the best action game i have ever played on the PC.
tip 4 the game: at the start of the game go 2 the lighthouse and go up the side were the rocks are when you are on top of them go round the back and there is a tree stump jump on top of it and look inside there is a good magic axe
i just want to know whether we can use dual wield in Elder's scroll.. it would be fun.. like being a ranger and all that
where can you find a vampire of Quarra bloodline
I've been playing Morrowind for a very long time, and i see a lot of unaswer questions here, mostly about Vampires. I want everyone to know there is a site dedicated to gamers like you at
www.UESP.net
You can access a lot of info in this website, including locations on all items, quest info, race tuturials, plus info on the expasions too.
This website is a must for avid MW fans, like me :p
i got in the puzzle canal and past the translucent white thing, but where are the "treasures"?
i see a shrine, a guy dressed like a dremora, and a chest full of silver longswords, but no real treasure
Where in Mournhold do you get Pack Animals?
the game is cool but there is alot more thing they could do to it to make it better

THE ELDER SCROLLS 3 MORROWIND IS THE BEST GAME EVER!!!
When I played it there was a few glitches , but besides that the game was really great I also liked the idea of an RPG where you can just about do anything.
does anyone know if morrowind can go online? im thinking online as in massively multiplayer. pplease respond!
I love how you can leave an item laying anywhere then come and get it... I still have a 'stash' at my house in sedya neen.. killed the guy, so its mine :) I can deposit all my items there and it saves the location perfectly... one time I killed a gaurd at the start of the games and stole his 10,000 dollar a peice set of armor, threw it on the ground and turned myself in for like 50 coins.. went back like 20 hours of gameplay later and found it still laying there :P
Hi,
For some time already I'm trying to find ES III : Morrowind demo to download since I don't buy game unless I can
see if I like it playing the demo. But I'm more & more convinced such a demo has never been released. Am I right? If
(hopefully) not, can someone point me at the location where I could download it, please?
Geranzo.
P.S. Please in the case of any info send me an email to geranzo@o2.pl
Thanks in adva
Ben is a champ, you tools tell us nothing!
HOW THE F#%* DO YOU BECOME A FRIGGIN VAMPIRE!!!!
Take a sword from the chest past the white thing.
give it to the guy then talk to the shrine.
To get past white thing drown in water you'll come back right where you drowned with full health and the white thingy will be GONE!!!
I played this game for a while and found out how to become a werewolf, Vampire and a hell of a lot of other things too....
I got alittle bored then i just created a new character and then it semmed fun again!!!
If you have a lot of high priced items to sell go to Bal Fel region and find the talking mud crab merchant. He buys most things at full price and has 10k. Rest for 24 hours and then sell him more. He is due south of minabi, a bandit cave. Or on the island just southeast of mzahnch, a dwemer ruin. Sell him some items worth 10k or less first... then for your more expensive items sell him 1 then buy back the some of the 10k items and repeat this process until you sell all your stuff.. Im walking around with 800k now... trained everything to as high as non-specialist trainers can go and gained about 25 levels in a matter of hours. :) hope that helps
Don't get the Xbox version... If you lose an item, you can't get it back... But on PC you can use a cheat. For example: I spent abput 35 hours playing the game, and I finally move to the Blades quest, when I go finally to get the Bone Bitter Bow, I didn't know it was on the ghost, until I read it on the Internet. Well, if you leave the room of the burial chambers--- which had the ghost that you killed--- without the bow, you CANNOT get it back, and like me, you wasted time for the game, because now you cannot beat it. PC has some cheat that you can put in for the bow, but not Xbox.
where do you find a place to join house telavanni
where do you find a place to join house telavanni
where do u join house telavanni
were is the mud crab merchent!

For those who are a vampire and don't wanna be, go to Bal Ur north of suran, and do whatever the big statue in the ruins tell you. It'll turn you back to normal
And there is a full set of daetric or however you spell it armor at the tower above the corporsiem... Tel Fry I think the armor is on a wizard and he will kill the sh** out of you if you're not strong enough. The daedric helm is in the tower of dusk somewhere in the lower area you'll have to kill a few people but o well screw them they ain't real people I know everything there is to know about this game just ask
i played and got azura's star and made like 30 different constant effect items like levitate and bound weapons, regenerrate health, fortify attributes, costed alot but i killed alot of ordinators and sold there armor to the mudcrab merchant,GO TO AZURA'S SHRINE AND DO HER QUEST!!!
I played this game for about two years now, I have a lvl 47 human. As from what i can tell this game is endless, I have every spell in the game not to mention i cant be killed by anything i one hit everything in the game, As far as Daggoth Ur goes i two hit him sad sad sad out come in the game if you ask me.

I need help on Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind Game of the year
All of you guys saying it needs a plot open ur eyes and read the dialogue at the start. It guides you to a guy in balmora, its very straight forward and the main thing about they game (you dont need to do this) is to kill Dagoth Ur, he has become a false god and has created blight which is that annoying disease and the annoying red thick storms that come from red mountain. Another thing you should really get the expansion becoming a werewolf is soooooo sweet and the Dark Brotherhood is really fun to hunt down specialy if you character is into stealth.
By FAR the best rpg every, if they somehow made this online it would blow away all competition and make all other rpgs pathetic

I need to knowhow & who to sell items worth 10k or more
please help
Guide to selling items worth more than 10k
First off, I use the scamp at the Gorhak manor in Caldera... hes easier to get to and yeah he only has 5k but its worth it because of the walk you have to go through for the mudcrab
Now, first sell the scamp all your cheapies worth under 5k (or mudcrab the 10k ones), say you have 10 ebony darts, each sell for 2k each so thats 20k, which means you have to sell to the scamp 5 times
Now you have an item that sells for 25k, what you do is you sell him that item worth 25k, then you buy back the 20 ebony darts, that means you sold the sword for 25k, then bought back 20k.... so hes giving you the 20 darts and the 5k cash for your 25k sword
which means you just got your 25k, yeah you have to re-sell the darts but its worth it
Truplaya: go to the alter that says breathe the waters..blabla then fall into the pool and drown yourself, then where to go becomes apparent.

I've been playing Morrowind for right at three years.
I first played xbox but when I sold that, the PC version was the next best thing. I LOVE this game and yes I'm a chick. I've played a ton of games over the years but this in my book is the best. I'm about to start WoW, since friends claim it's more fun. I have doubts. Since I love the freedom morrowind gives.
Thanks the god I'm finally a vampire and it is sooooooo sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ) !
Where is the Urkishal Burial Tomb where you find the chief Urkishal's father's bow?
