Bethesda Software has outdone themselves. The creation of the Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is an instant classic, and an achievement that is beyond compare. The game is a 1st person (or 3rd person, if you choose) RPG, set in an enormous and unique world. The game allows you the freedom to explore as you see fit. You can pickup almost any item in the world, and interact with mostly anyone. And the great thing is, even if you choose to avoid the storyline (which you can pickup at anytime), there are hundreds of side quests and plenty of factions to join. You can aid adventurers in defeating a creature, help a trader find his robbers, or take one of the gods quests and obtain a unique item. Or, you can choose to join a guild (fighter, mage, thief, blade), or join a great house (Telvanni, Redoran, Hlaull), and perform all the tasks they assign. However, if you do choose to follow the main quest, you will not be disappointed. The storyline is rich and fulfilling.

In addition to the quests and the storyline, there are some other fantastic elements of the game. Your character can create their own spells and enchant items (or you can pay someone to do this, if your skill is too low). In addition, alchemy is fantastically done, as many items scattered around the world can be used to make potions (such as mushrooms, or plants).

The game also has plenty of weapons and armor to keep any RPG player happy. And, as already mentioned, you can enchant any non-enchanted weapon/armor/clothes/rings you find.

The world is so diverse and beautifully created. Each city is beautifully created, and the dungeons are dark and foreboding. Even if you spend 100 hours playing, you are certain that you've missed something. And, the game allows for modding - so if you want to try something new, download some new lands, or adventures!

I love this game. It is a game that shows other development companies what greatness is in the industry. This one is NOT to be missed!!!! Get it today!!!!

On a side note - March 20th, 2006 "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" is released. Although you do not need to play Morrowind to understand Oblivion, I still recommend getting Morrowind. The game is fantastic!!!!!
