Is Morrowind worth getting anymore?

[QUOTE="streak000"]

Travelling on foot (or levitating, as the case may be) is great as long as you're not downright forced to walk for 20+ minutes just to get to quest locations. I appreciated the choice Oblivion gave me in this regard. I grew to adore those siltstrider things and wished there were more of them in the game.

I think that the travel system in the game adds to the immersion tremendously. I remember having all of the travel routes down perfectly to get to wherever I wanted as efficiently as possible using a combination of intervention spells, mage's guild teleportation, silt striders, boats, levitation and speed enhancements. This is something that was totally lost in Oblivion.

Agree 100%.

Add to that that even if you did walk everywhere in Oblivion and didn't fast-travel, all the areas looked the same. Boring. Morrowind was way more interesting.

Yes it is, but i suggest you install a few mods.

I can't get into that game, it's just so damn stiff.. and lifeless.. i don't want only atmosphere.. i want a good story and immerse world.

Got no problem playing JRPG's, or one of my favorites Fallout 2, and replaying Baldur's gate.

But Morrowind.. no. I can't say i haven't tried, i spent a entire day trying to get into it, spending hours upon hours tweaking it with various mods.

AI mods, and the likes. Got no problem with the visuals, so that's not it.

I guess i've ben spoiled by the greatness of Gothic 2, which i'll replay again soon.

I simply don't like being forced to walk for hours even when I don't want to. I ended up dreading the quests in faraway places with no fast-transport options. Sometimes I just wanted to do the damn quest without a huge trek across the map to reach it. Immersive or not, it was annoying. Oblivion had a much better system in that it gave you a choice. It's a pity the blandness of the world discouraged exploration, but the idea was right.

It really didn't take that long to get around after getting a handle on all of the things I mentioned.

Granted, the early stages of the game are extremely slow, especially for a newcomer. I myself only got into the game on my third try or so during some boring weekend. It's hard to say how they could have alleviated this without just pasting over and wrecking the complex system put in place.

Okay, so I have some Amazon.com gift cards and was going to buy it, but it costs almost one hundred dollars?!?!?!?!? I was expecting 10 - 20.

What the heck are you looking at? I just searched on Amazon and there are tons of copies of the GOTY edition... like $15 for PC or $25 for XBOX.

I still break out Morrowind from time to time..still a very amazing game to revisit. I have played through it 3 times and each time I pick up on something I missed. Also, in my opinion, it is better than Oblivion (yeah I said it :P).

Is this really that hard? :question:

Looks like the 3 or so copies I saw for Xbox are now gone, and it's up to $40. But just jump over to eBay, and immediately you can see there are two cheaper copies that are "buy it now," so no need to bid, you just buy:

$20 and $30, respectively. Though why you would buy it for Xbox escapes me, seeing as it looks better on PC, is cheaper on PC, and there are a million mods out there for the PC version that make it better. I would go that route.

It always worths it outlander ;)

if liked Oblivion, and lvoed Morrowind, so you'll enjoy it very much!

If you want a good Morrowind experience, look for Tribunal and Bloodmoon. They have some pretty good storylines. It's alright if you can't find them. Morrowind is still worth it.

It´s worth getting,no doubt,just stay away from the xbox version and preferably get the GOTY version with Bloodmoon and Tribunal,and then get yourself a bunch of mods to improve the visuals and you´re set.

Ill go against the majority here and say no. The game is too dated and is not that good compared to Oblivion which does just about everything better.GodModeEnabled
