Beats Oblivion in my books.
User Rating: 9.5 | The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - Game of the Year Edition PC
Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind hit a great mark for me. Now I've played Oblivion and its great and all, but its not all together that creative. They took a plot out ye booke of plots, took a setting out of "look out the ****ing window" magazine and added castles and some enemies that either butchering the best enemies from the old ones or are straight out of every other ****ing fantasy setting ever. Morrowind on the other hand looks and feels like a creative work. It has a setting that looks like Sauron set up his base in Wonderland, with a fungi-dominated greenery and a dreary haze over everything. The game is large but not so large that you feel overwhelmed by it and has enough variety of scenery so that you aren't too bored of it for the primary play-through, and hey, the plot doesn't suck that hard either, in fact its pretty creative.
Despite its great creativity it isn't without its problems, for one thing, its stealth-magic-combat system pretty much ****s you in the ass if you aren't combat and makes you unable to complete a lot of game elements without a good deal of magic, so you caught in a battle to make a character who doesn't suck (stealth system is the worst I've seen ever). The only other complaint would be cliff racers, these pterodactyls that you fight so often you think you're playing Final Fantasy, this wouldn't even be that bad if they didn't sound like a dying old woman under water.
