I purchased this game two days ago for a birthday present. Loaded it onto the system (which met all specified requirements) and found the lag on the mouse and character were especially bad, and would not load onto another PC. I finally loaded it onto my laptop and got it to actually work, after returning and getting another disk. I found 20 minutes into the game, looking around was very awkward using the mouse. You have to keep your fingers off of the left/right click and another problem was-you can only pick up items in the 1st person. I know I like to play in 3rd person, so in order to get items to your pack, you have to change into 1st person view. This, too, can be very awkward, especially if you are in a battle. I am really wondering if Bethasda Gaming Corp beta tested this game in the PC version. The graphics are very good and I am sure the storyline is also very good. I play RPG's all the time and played the orginal Morrowind as did my husband, but I am very disappointed in the controls of this game. I think Bethesda would have been better off making a regular XBox version instead of a PC version. I am sure the controls for the XBox 360 are more adaptable for playing this game.
