![]() Every house, building, cave, dungeon anything is able to be entered. Morrowind does a great job on delivering total freedom of exploration. This is where the greatness of the game becomes apparent with any obligation to complete quests becomes totally optional and the player is free to just wander around and explore the world on their own right, to seek other quests, to search for treasure or just simply explore for the sake of finding out more about the world. However, the game right away starts to try and side track you a little by giving you a little side quest to begin interacting with the residents of the town you begin in. There are also powers for each race in Tamriel as well which function the same way.Īfter getting through the nitty-gritty of character creation the player is given a quest and sent on their way. The balancing of these birthsigns isn't great with some simply giving decent stat boosts and others giving very basic "powers" basically spells that can be used once a day for free and possibly very crippling negative effects. One last thing the player does before being let loose is picking a birthsign which give bonuses and/or negatives. Yes, while skills are automatically increased by using them, leveling your major/minor skills enough times grants you a level, which can be used to improve your attributes, which ones to increase are picked by the player, with bonus points available to attributes that were part of the skills leveled. When you create your own class you're able to pick exactly which skills you want to focus on, putting them into a major or minor category which gives a boost into the level of the skill and makes those skills affect your overall level. ![]() Your skills being weapon skills, various schools of magic and different ways of interacting with the world and it's denizens.Īfter selecting your race you're now able to pick, create or let the game pick a class for you after answering a fantasy personality test. Attributes being the classic Strength, Intelligence, Luck, etc stats of classic RPGs that determine how strong you are, how much mana you have, etc as well as affecting the effectiveness of your skills, which each skill being affected by an attribute. Each race (and gender) has different stats, divided into attributes and skills.

To anyone not familiar at all with Morrowind or even the Elder Scrolls series, the game is an RPG with a first person perspective set somewhere in the fantasy world and continent of Tamriel, in Morrowind's case, being set in the island of Vvardenfell, a part of the province of Morrowind the homeland of the Dunmer, commonly known as the Dark Elves. ![]() Quite different from the later titles, yet this game is the best of the Elder Scrolls games released in the 21st century. Morrowind is a fairly niche game all things considered it's very old, it has a PC focused UI and interface, the combat system is based around dice rolls to calculate hits so you can miss even when it looks like you're hitting an enemy on your screen, it's not fully voice acted so plenty of character dialogue is expressed exclusively through text. However with Morrowind, not too many people are familiar with this release in the Elder Scrolls series, at least in comparison to the later titles. Plenty of gamers today are familiar with Skyrim, as well to a lesser extent, Oblivion. The Elder Scrolls series has been around for awhile and now it's pretty much a very mainstream series with the release of Skyrim, a game that has captured the imaginations of tens of millions of people.
