Video Game Reviews of Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind
Customer Review: an epic game
Summary: 4 Stars
You are dumped (or possibly released) off a prison boat into the land of wierd plants, alien wildlife, and a mixture of inhabitants not unlike the menagerie from Star Wars...
All you know is that someone in a "nearby" town, directions to which you have been told but unfortunately forgotten, is looking for you and it might be a good idea to find out what this individual wants...
This game maybe hard to get drawn into, at least it was for me. The reason for that: there is no clear path shown for you, NPCs don't have convenient signs on them saying click me to continue!", in fact most of them seem downright scary and hateful.
Then you start asking them questions and start to learn... options for what to do next emerge. You have better understanding of the inhabitants, the interconnections, struggles, you learn about different factions and organizations within this land, about their goals and ideologies.
Some of these goals are personal and selfish, others very political in nature or zelous in their religiosity, and some of them are so epic in scope they're stretching millenia back into the past... between all those agendas you are slowly finding your own. That is when the game truly begins...
4/5 because of some technical issues, which i won't go into
Lore and amount of backstory put into this game is extraordinary. There are books in the game that have an entire mythologies in them. The story itself is complex, no entirely good or bad guys here, although ultimately the player has to take sides and make choices.
Architecture changes greatly depending on the area and culture. From a cross between arabian-like dwellings and texan villas to the round houses in the tops of gigantic trees and houses made out of shells of... some big long extinct creatures. And of course a traditional medieval castles, however built and inhabited by a culture akin to that of ancient Rome...
Description of Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind
In Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, you travel to the world of the Tamriel, and make your way in Dunmer, home of dark elvesThe Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is an epic, open-ended single-player game where you create and play any kind of character you can imagine. Be the hero embarking on an epic quest or a thief rising to leadership of his guild. Be a sorcerer developing the ultimate spell of destruction or a healer searching for the cure to a plague. 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.
Players can choose to follow the intriguing main story line or set off to explore the province of Morrowind and the many interesting people and exotic locations it contains. Vast cities and remote villages dot the landscape, each with its own unique look and feel. Hundreds of quests and adventures await as you interact with characters and learn more. Regardless of whether you play a murdering assassin or a noble knight, the game holds endless possibilities and allows you to revisit the main story line at any time.
With Morrowind, the Elder Scrolls character system is coupled with an increase in the world's richness of detail. Utilizing advanced 3-D technology, Morrowind features hyperrealistic textures and polygon counts, real-time shadows, vast landscapes, skeletal-based animation, and a complete weather system. Gameplay is further extended with the inclusion of The Elder Scrolls Construction Set, which allows players to modify and add to Morrowind in any way they see fit. Change character or creature attributes and skills, introduce new weapons or dungeons into the game, or create entire new worlds to explore.
