I've never managed to make it very far in Morrowind. I've tried a few times, but got the magic system figured out, and I never liked first person games. And, yeah. Several reasons. No story driving either...

While the story was a bit hard to follow, I have to say that Morrowind was one of the most realistic (if you can use that to describe a fantasy game) RPGs I've ever played. The world was just so HUGE...there were tons of characters, all the options you could explore, all the cities, towns, and how you could use ANY mode of transportation to get around (even swim there haha!)

Morrowind was the reason I fished out the 60 dollars for Oblivion. :)

You could switch it to third person perspective with the tab key. But aiming in combat was a bit awkward in that mode.

Yeah I toyed with Morrowind for a week or two and then realised it was the lack of drive in the storyline that was boring me. You can go everywhere and pretty much do what you want but if in the end there is no reason to leave your house why not stay at home and decorate?

The story in Morrowind is somewhat disappointing in regards to the fact that you can only achieve one ending, unlike Daggerfall. True the expansions add to the story and the end of one story pre-empts another, you can't escape the fact that the main storyline is too linear and might've benefitted from some degree of choice.

Nice to know there's a few mods out that let you side with Dagoth Ur and therefore creates an entirely new, if not saddening, ending.

What I love about Morrowind is what so many others hate - that you don't HAVE to do anything. I love exploring, just running around in the middle of nowhere, and I don't consider the game finished until there is not a SPOT on the map where I haven't been, not a CAVE where I haven't been, not a single ruin I haven't looted, not a single quest unfinished, etc. And seeing how I add about 50+ mods to the game, a big bunch of them faction/quest mods.. you get the idea.
