The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind for Xbox

Pros: Massively huge world
Cons: Massively crappy fighting engine

For console owners who don't dabble into PC gaming, the Elder Scrolls series is one that's not that known. With fantastic entries such as Daggerfall, Bethesda Softworks' baby has been a huge PC franchise for years, but due to the limitations of game...

Pros: Tries to tread new ground for an RPG.
Cons: It only succeeds about half the time...

Originally slated to be a launch title for Microsoft’s Xbox system, Bethesda Softworks’ Elder Scroll ...

Pros: endless fun, brilliant design
Cons: buggy and long load times

Morrowind: The Elder Scrolls III for Xbox is a fantasy roll playing game. I think it is the best roll playing game I have ever encountered. I also think it happened to be the first roll playing game for the Xbox and it is a very tough act to follow. I ...

Pros: huge world, play for years and never run out of things to do
Cons: some of the quests are tedious chores, buggy game, funny-looking animation

Got an extra five hundred hours? Because I am a huge fan of role playing games, when I heard that Morrowind might be the biggest RPG world ever created I bought the game instantly. Some might not be able to understand why anybody would ...

Pros: Visuals, open-ended gameplay, sheer size, customizability.
Cons: Sheer size, few bugs, lacks living feel, idiot AI.

...and what a good thing that is.

Normally, when I have been waiting for a title to come out for a long period of time, it tends to dissapoint me. I've been waiting for Morrowind since, well, I think January 2001. Long time, long time, so I...

Pros: The ability to do whatever you want, whenever you want.
Cons: Even a blind person can spot the pop-up

Pros: Freedom, freedom, freedom.
Cons: Slow gameplay not for everyone.

I've been waiting for this game for a month now. The PC version didn't run well on my computer at all and so my hope lied in this Xbox version. I heard many complaints (come to find out from lying fanboys) that the xbox version suffered from long load...

Pros: Amazing story, awesome singleplayer experience, lush graphics
Cons: No multiplayer, some seriously 'broken' aspects of gameplay.

I'll admit, I'm not a real hardcore RPG player. I'm fairly well acquainted with the Final Fantasy and Fallout series, but that's about where my experience with RPG games end.

I was stuck on dialup for an extended period of time over the...

Pros: Setting a new standard for RPGs.
Cons: Unfortunately, that standard will be hard-followed by others. Long loading times.

General/Summary: Before Morrowind was released, one of the very few faults of the X-Box was its lack of decent RPGs. This factor was what many ps2 and GC owners used to comfort themselves when determining if their decision to by their console over the ...

Pros: Open Ended RPG goodness..
Cons: Not For Those Who Aren't Dedicated To Their RPGs..

Introduction

Though role-playing games have always been very thorough and detailed, none have really matched the intensity and open ended feel of pen and paper RPG games, which really have no linear aspects at all, which makes for a fun...

Pros: immense world, intriguing story, forever re-playability, grants a strong sense of self-reliance upon one self
Cons: Load times are horrendous, doesn't offer the easily accessible side-quest journal that the PC offers

Once upon a very, very, very, very, very, very excruciatingly long time ago, there was once a time when first-person RPG's dominated the market after the arising of DOOM. Endless fans of the first person world was spoiled by the amount of console games ...

Pros: Lots of freedom, music, being able to make your own class
Cons: Ugly characters, glitches, takes a long time to work up your skills

Let it be made clear that I've never really had the patience for most RPGs. Honestly, Final Fantasy VIII was the only RPG that ever really appealed to me, and Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night, if you can count that as an RPG (well, action/RPG). The ...

Pros: Huge world, great stories and solid character creation sytem.
Cons: Huge world, takes forever to get places.

Want to run around in the most living/breathing world contained in a video game? If you do than Morrowind is a must buy. The GTA series doesn't come close to giving the amount of freedom that the Elder Scroll's series does. There is almost nothing you ...

Pros: Huge game world, over 100 hours of gameplay, non-linear.
Cons: Low texture quality, unacceptable number of bugs for a console game.

The X Box game market was pretty dry when Morrowind hit the shelves. Since Spiderman, we were gameless, and Morrowind was the light at the end of the tunnel. The game was postponed for over a month, most likely to squash the remaining bugs in the game....

Pros: If you hate your life, you can live in Morrowind
Cons: May be cause for Divorce or Relationship Upheavals

Ahhhh, I wish that I had stayed in Morrowind. But, alas, I'm back here in the real world, searching for another game that begins to compare. I don't think I'll find it.

Imagine a game where time is real, seasons and weather are real, fatigue...
