OT: Morrowind?

[Alari]

Morrowind is a great game, BUT, unless you are very patient and don't mind frequent lengthy pauses, you're going to want to have a pretty uber computer to play it. On my 950mhz w/512mb it pauses often to load new areas or complex models. The game has one of the WORST loading routines and memory management methods ever, apparently, since other games of similar or better graphical quality and complexity run much more smoothly. I'd say you would want at least a 2ghz or better and 1gb of ram or more to play it smoothly. And even then you'll want to have the Morrowind FPS Optimizer running.

Once you get past that, it's one of the best computer fantasy RPGs I've seen, and definitely one of the most expandable.

I liked Morrowind much more than Daggerfall though. I was constantly annoyed at how Daggerfall had no roads. (Or they didn't show up for me, either way it was annoying.)
