That feature alone kills the game for me. A big pity, because the story was marvelous.
Morroblivion on the other hand was fine, because it let you fight à la Oblivion style.

It actually did a traditional RPG "die roll" behind the scenes. You really couldn't hit anything at first.

Thats what killed my interest.

Roll this D100 and if you score *insert your skill level here* then you can live! Oh and the enemies will **** you up when you get to the mines if you dont pick the right skills! Good luck noobie!

-Morrowinds greeting to me except it happened sooner when I was told to kill a measly rat.

A lot of the comments are really disappointing. Morrowind was the first RPG I liked, and I didn't just like I loved that game. It was so good, and I only had the xbox version. I don't think people get how good it is. Skyrim and Oblivion are trash game in comparison. The fact that people don't understand this gives me no hope for gaming future, we are just going to get super casualized ez mode games with no depths and all damage based on weapon damage like D3.

Starcraft
Starcraft 2
Morrowind
Halo 1

Fav games. prob a few more in there as well but those are the main ones.

so it wont run on tablets or netbooks with intel gma graphics

yeah but, it won't run like crap. And technically with all shading turned off it could technically run on an intel hd4000. At the least it will run on linux.

Unfortunately for he doesnt, and he uses the massive Modding OCmmunity to Help Lower the Spec's needed to run Morrowind. He gets to the point where he is at like 5 Frames Per Second

Morrowind took a beast of machine when it was new but what kind of hardware is he running that he can barely run the game in 2012? An older notebook with Intel 965 graphics or something?

What? Maybe it's not hip to like Skyrim because it's so popular, but it's a ridiculously good game - even comparing Morrowind-with-mods to vanilla Skyrim.

On topic: I'm really glad the modding community is doing this, this' exciting. The construction kit made it so easy to create, it was one of the very few games that I made mods for

. I'm really looking forward to being able to play it on Linux

man, you certianly just dont know how amazingly huge the Community is for this game do you?

So many people stay with the game because they dont even need to buy a new game, they just download a new campaign, or new mods etc. the game can stay fresh forever, just like Total Annihilation ;p

well Last time he was playing when he still had a place to play at (he is homeless again) he was running Pentium 3 with rage pro, and eventually a low range nVidia FX GPU

So his game if you can imagine, had tons of texture enhancements, so that everything Looks nicer up close but blured out of existance 5 feet ahead, Draw Distance was also lowered Dramatically to the point wher a building would Pop up in your face out of no where, made navigating a city impossible for me.

Game ran genuinely fine when fighting outside of the towns though.

He recently got a laptop from a tradeout, he has no place to run a Desktop, so he is taking the PC I built for him (with Freebie parts and generous help from OCN as well as Co-workers) he took this E2200 and ati 4770 PC I built and traded for a laptop that he says has a 512 mb dedicated card.

He did this for a few reasons, one, no place for a Desktop and Monitor, and he has been getting back into his artwork hoping to sell it to make some money.

Hope it works for him.

Oh my good god. This is beautiful. Keep up the good work, I am one of the many who are excited by this.

People who are still commenting and saying that it's worthless should look at this.

Give Deus Ex (the original) a shot. I think you will add +1 to your list.

Let me just fix that for you. Skyrim is good, nothing more. If you want to feel like a real adventurer, without having your hand held every step of the way, play Morrowind!

Bump,

I just recently bought morrowind, due to how legendary it seems, i have created my character so far (battlemage).

Still playing skyrim though, installed some mods to make it more challenging (skyre ,asis, & deadly dragons).

Skyrim is my first TES, so i would like to hear more on OpenMW or experiences of morrowind itself, if possible.

I have to admit, regardless of the graphics, which is tolerable, the atmosphere & setting in morrowind is quite captivating.

And that is just in the beginning.

Morrowind is a good game. It has a cool world, but skyrim has much better combat. Skyrim has a bit more "boring" realistic world, while Morrowind is definitely more out there. Also, it just feels like Morrowind is a lot bigger and has way more quests. But Skyrim has higher production values, better graphics and spoken dialogue (though I feel that sometimes the spoken dialogue detracts as much as it adds to the game).

I dont do or like things because other people do or like them. Skyrim was a bad game. I barely got through any of the story before I quit, I beat oblivion once barely doing anything, but I beat morrowind several times doing all sorts of things, easily spent 200hrs if not 3-400 on it. I hated RPGs before I got morrowind. Go try morrowind with gfx updates and then go back to skyrim.

You leveled up, do you want more magic, stamina, or health

Yeh I did and I got some minor gfx updates to it as well, was a major PITA to set up b/c there are so many unfinished and broken patches/links/etc. But it was really awesome. The next two in the series........ crap... DE2 was so small and linear its like its not even the same game at all, DE3 was a lot better but still nothing compared to DE1. And DE1 was actually hard, because you could lose limb functionality... man I broke my legs a few times and realized I cant run n gun like normal. Its like a real spy game, DE2/3 you can run n gun like a moron.
