I gave Morrowind a swing several months ago but gave up after a few brief sessions. Initially overwhelmed by how in-depth and expansive the world was, I couldn't devote the time to learning the interface, the spells, the world history and geography... and the SLOW walking speed didn't help matters much. But after hunkering down to give it another shot a few weeks ago, all I can say is I'm sorry I didn't have any patience sooner. This world is phenomenal. This is one of the most immersive RPGs I've ever played -- you could talk about the presentation alone for hours. With such detailed graphics and life-like weather and day/night cycles, you can easily transport your brain into this world. The intricate plot and guild stories wrap you tighter into the world. And the music just wraps it all up. Beautiful orchestral pieces, which surprisingly aren't as repetitive as what others complain about. It's enough variety (and subtle enough music) where you don't really notice ... it's definitely mood-setting music that sinks in the background to set a tone. Combat is very simplistic, which is surprising considering how detailed the rest of the gameplay is. Can't wait for a true sequel. No more expansion packs!
