The freedom is sometimes too much, but it is a fun game.

[Dry]The graphics aren't the best because it was released in 2002[/Dry]

I played it for a good long while, had fun, but eventually got bored a long way before I finished the main story. It's just so huge, especially if you want to go somewhere off the beaten path. You can wander in the wilderness for hours on end and never see another soul, just things that want to kill you and the occasional lost ruin that you had no idea was there. The map that comes with the game is an absolute necessity or I can guaranty you that you will get lost. And if you DO get lost, good luck finding civilization again. I don't know how many hours I wandered around out in the middle of nowhere. That aside it is a fun game and some of the magic is very useful and not often seen in games. How would you like to fly or walk on water or even breath under water? You can become head of the local guild, the greatest thief there ever was, or you can enchant your own items with what ever combination of spells you can dream up. You can go treasure diving off the coast or ruin hunting deep in the mountains, its all up to you.

I just saw this in QT3: someone finished playing Morrowind in 14 minutes 26 seconds:

Really illustrates just how broken Morrowind's mechanics are if you're a munchkin gamer.

He's full of crap It takes 14 minutes just to get from Scyda Neen to Balmora! Much less to get the stuff together to make anything.

PLUS it took my dad and other folks i know that have played it ages simply to get the fighting power to kill Dagoth Ur....not to mention the level up and money required to do what that guy said....and the time to recharge spells and sleep.

That guy is lying big time so don't rust him one lick.

He took the stilt strider from Seyda Neen to Balmora, he didn't walk. Also, notice the massive amounts of potions he drinks. That's what gave him the temporary fighting power to kill Dagoth Ur.

Let me address this in a few point breakdown:

A.
Okay point being it takes about 5-10 minutes to get from Silt Strider port through to the mages guild and then to talk to the necessary people and buy things from them.

B.
It takes a LONG time to get the funds to buy the sheer weight in potions it would take to affect dagoth at all.

C. It's not JUST a matter of strength, it's a matter of skill and weaponry to kill Dagoth Ur, the levels it would require to handle the weaponry and then the cash required to buy the weaponry to do any damage at all would be exhorbitant.

D.
NO normal weapon can hurt DU it takes some of the heavily enchanted weapons that I after 3 weeks of playing hadn't even gotten, you can't just pick up any old weapon of the street and take out the biggest baddest Bad guy in the universe.

E. It takes about 20 minutes to actually go through the ghost gate and get to the black mountains because you have to fight a lot of nasty critters that would easily kill that jackass in a matter of seconsd.

F. What this fool doesn't bother mentioning is that there is another Dagoth priest that you have to kill before you even find OUT anything important enough to kill DU.

G. He's acting like Killing DU is a one shot deal when in fact you have to kill 3 incarnations and each one has different strengths and levels that you can't just take a dagger to, in fact the third one is totally invulnerable to ANY weapon he could have picked up in 14 minutes of gameplay.

H. He probobly never actually played the game or if he did he just cheated his *** through to the levels required to kill DU.
