The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is a sprawling, first person, open-finished fantasy role-playing game. It’s a direct port of the PC version, and truly shows off the potential of the Xbox.
Morrowind can be described with a release word: mind-numbingly-massive (okay, I cheated). You can do virtually anything you want. There is a main quest, but there are also hundreds of side quests (over 350 of them), and the game is completely nonlinear. You can be a hero, a villain, a pilgrim, a saint, or even a parasite. You name it, and chances are you can be it. There are also no geographical constraints; you can wander where you want, when you want.
The amount of control you have in Morrowind is stunning. When you make a character, you can either choose from premade classes, have one assigned to you depending on how you answer a questionnaire, or make your own class. You can also choose one of 13 signs under which your character is born, which will give you bonuses, handicaps, or both. There are so many stats and skills to accumulate, you can easily spend hours experimenting with character types before you even start the game.
Morrowind’s magic system brings a tear to my eye–not only do you have seven schools of magic (Conjuration, Illusion, Destruction, Restoration, Mysticism, Alteration, Enchant), but you also have an alchemy system, from which you can make potions from ingredients you can either buy or find in the wild. In addition, you can trap the souls of enemies you kill and bind them into items to make magic artifacts. Very cool. And of course, there are all the scrolls, magical items, etc., that you find in your travels.
Another boon is the thieving system. You can pick locks, disarm traps, pick pockets, and learn acrobatics. You can affront, insult, or intimidate others as well as haggle for better deals in the market. And since you can steal (or try to steal) nearly every item you see, affair is excellent! This game was designed with a thief’s eye.
The game itself is gorgeous. The graphics, sound, frame rate… all charming as silk. You can spend hours just looking at the outlandish scenery and picking the flowers (literally). The musical score is rousing, and never gets ancient. The different creatures and people have their own voices and sounds. This is a game that makes anything but high-end computers weep, and it works on the Xbox without a hitch.
Okay, so Bethesda’s Morrowind sounds like the greatest thing since… well… Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls II, but does it have any flaws? Well, Morrowind is certainly geared toward magic users and thieves, but it is lacking when it comes to fighting. There are many battles in Morrowind, but they boil down to clicking your button and hitting your foe with either a melee or missile weapon. That’s it. Combat gets ancient quick. In addition, the travel journal is purely elementary. It lists all the quests you undertake, but there is no way to sort them, or erase quests that you have finished. After a while, it takes a long time to find information. This is probably the largest flaw in the game.
Bottom line: Morrowind is a PC-stylishness RPG for a PC-stylishness console. This game is reason enough to buy an Xbox, and will have hard-core RPG fans singing its praises for years to come. –Bryan Karsh
Pros:
- Thief and magic-user heaven
- Do no matter what you want
- Gorgeous graphics and sound
Cons:
- Simplistic battle system

Morrowind is an epic, open-finished release-player role-playing game where you make and play any kind of character you can presume. Your actions define your character, and your gameplay changes and evolves in response to your actions. Confront the assassins’ guild, and they take out a contract on you. Impress them, and they try to recruit you instead. No two sagas are the same in the world of Morrowind. The end result is the most open-finished RPG possible–one with an infinite number of possible paths owing to the game.

This game, which was initially supposed to be released months ago has seen several delays and it is still unsure whether or not it will be released anytime soon. I reflect it is far too early to be able to review this game, other than to say that it certainly has promise, if all that they have said comes to fruition. Although the PC version of the game has garnered honestly high marks, it is still uncertain whether or not the Xbox version will be able to realize the same acclaim. If the game is ever released, that is.
Update: June 7, 2002
I have now been able to buy this game and am nervous to get it home to play it. Hopefully my extended review on it will not disappoint.

I like RPG actoin sports meeting like diablo, Dungeon siege & more. but that: i though i will realy like this game because from the screenshots i saw it looked like A 3rd person view, which is splendid! but then I lost 50$ for this 1st person game which you can’t even change the view from 1st to 3rd. it’s terrible because: these sports meeting aren’t fun if it’s not a shooter and also you try to hit this small harmless worm and it nearly kills you cause you miss it all the time just swinging your bread knife. on normal RPG’s you were just click it and it’s dead. so: DON’T BUY IT! IT’S THE WORST. save your cash for a better RPG like Diablo.
