If you're going to start in The Elder Scrolls series, this game is the best way...
Morrowind starts in a boat, you're a prisoner from a distant land, and by the order of the king you were brought to Morrowind, the reason is unknown, but you have to do some tasks in the name of king instead. The game story is very well created, but sometimes you'll get lost in some quests because there are many things to do, and you'll rarely find a place where you don't have nothing to do at all.
As a soldier of the king, you'll have to get yourself registred as a citizen of Morrowind, you must say your name, choose your race, your sex and your physical traits. There are many races for you to choose : Orc, Dark elf , Wooden elf , Imperial and many other races. Then, you'll have to choose a class. You can answer some questions to see what's your class really is, or you can just pick one class of the list, and you can even make your own class. There are many classes, such as Warrior, Crusader, Knight, Archer, Thief, Spellsword,Rogue,Wizard and many others. You can also choose your sign in-game, there are many and they are connected with your primary skills. Creating a character is very fun, and there are many opitions for making an unique character.
I think the most interesting part in creating your hero is the equipment itself. Every equipment that you equip in your character is displayed and showed in it. So you can create an almost unique character. But it doesn't really matters , because in this game there's no multiplayer mode. I think that is the worst problem of Morrowind, it doesn't have a multiplayer mode for you to test your abilities against another players.
Morrowind graphics are the greatest I've ever seen. Of course that there are many better graphics in other RPGs, but the design of the graphic itself is very good, one of the brightest and more realistc I've ever seen. For example, when you're in the top of a mountain and you look down you can see a very realistc forest, and then when you enter the forest you can see beautiful trees and you can notice swamps,and you can see many rivers and things like this which make this game really unique in its graphics. The character are very well designed too, you're going to see lots of interesting people, interesting weapons and armor and different kinds of characters along the game.And what's most interesting is that the facial expression of every people you meet, you can see they moving their lips while they are talking and things like this really interesting.
Another good topic of the graphics is the lightinning effects which are really great. The magics itself are very common but the effects of a thunderstorm and the lights such as torches and many other sources of light are very well-designed and made. Some of the best in all RPGs.
The sounds of the game aren't as good as its graphics. I think the sounds are the same of other RPGs, so there's nothing innovative. And most part of the game you'll have to read long texts because almost all characters in this game don't have voice. The game soundtrack is the best of part of its sound. It remembers Zelda and Final Fantasy games, pretty much fun than many other soundtracks of RPGs.
Although Morrowind have great graphics, realistics sounds, and enjoyble storyline with an enjoyble interface, the game lacks in gameplay. It is a first person role-playing game, so everything is on your character view. Actually, it is much more interesting for exploring cities, forest and dungeons, but for the combat itself this kind of camera really doesn't help. You're going to see that using a sword isn't that fun, 'cause you'll never do combos and you'll never perform special attacks. You have to focus just one target, and sometimes your weapon can't reach it so you'll have to get nearer and there are many big monsters. Sometimes you'll be attack by many monsters at once, and the shielding system isn't that good. So that's it, it is very fun the first-person looking camera, but for combats it is a little bit bad.
The world in The Elder Scrolls III is very big. You're going to see a lot of different places and a lot of different people, and you'll spend many hours exploring every corner of it. Morrowind is a continent of the TES world. The continent is an island which were inhabited by the elves, but after the imperial invasion, there are all kinds of races in the area. Morrowind have many cities, villages and towns. You'll see many small farming villages, where people live peacefully as you'll see many forts and towns at war against some force. The world in-game is just very fun.
As you play through the world, you'll become known by the things you do. If you're a killer, then the people you'll be afraid of you. If you're a criminal, then the guards will keep attention an eye on you, and so on. You're a true citizen of Morrowind, you can talk with everyone, but if you don't respect people, then they won't talk to you and they won't do anything for you. So, if you want to survive easily in the land of Morrowind, you'll need to make friends and treat everybody well. This is very interesting, because this system let you create your own personality in your character.
VEREDICT : So, The Elder Scrolls III Morrowind is a very valuable game. The game have is very big and very fun, but if you aren't a RPG player, you're not going to like it. But if you are a RPG player, you'll like it for sure, and you're going to play and replay it many times, because it is one of the funiest ever made.
