A great addition to the elder scrolls series, does what its supposed to do.

User Rating: 9.1 | The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - Game of the Year Edition PC
At time of writing Oblivion is out, but I feel I should write a review for it because of the time I used to spend playing on it.

The game sets out like the others, you are a prisoner getting released, you arrive in Morrowind by boat, you promptly find your way out of the ship and are given the choice as to who your want your character to be, elf, human, argonian there are loads. There arent alot of customisation tools though, but its no big deal. You then enter the building and then you can pick what type of warrior you want to be, do you want to be a spell caster or a swordsman or just rely on your stealth and guile to get by, you decide. Morrowind is a very big place, inhabited by many races of the TES universe, yet the natural home to dark elf, it is rich in lore and backround which you can explore later in the game.

Graphicly, for its day it was very impressive. This is not its day though, the game lives in shadow of its next installment, Oblivion. The world still remains vastly detailed, each home and interrior contains 'alot' of detail which you may or may not notice. The games mist can become an annoyance, as the game loads very small segments and this is the games way to hide the fact that the square of land you are on is seperated from the rest.

The games sound is mediocre, however there are still some cool moments, which the sound can create, but I feel it isnt used to help create bileavable environments as much as it could. However there are various 'plugins' to download which are community supported, these can vastly improove the sound quality in the game.

The true heart of the game, for the PC anyway is the plugin system which the game uses. You see the game comes with an editor, and in this you can create and change the game world and everything in it as you see fit, the whole experience can be overwhelming but if you cant get to grasp with it, like myself you can use the 1000's of user made plugins for the game, these include new worlds, enemies, texture sets, places, classes, sound houses and much more.

It's because of the plugin system and community based custom content, im gonna give this game a pretty generous score.
