Not what I expected,but way better!

I am a rabid fan of the previous game in the series,Morrowind.I have to say that the game threw me off a bit at first,but once I got my feet wet,I began to greatly appreciate what they've done with this game.I expected a prettier-looking Morrowind,but got much more.The new way they've got the skills set up is definately better balanced and less frustrating than Morrowind.Honestly,I have only three complaints about the game.One,When you reach the edge of the world map,you're stopped by an invisible wall.I do not like that,as it lacks realism.Two,I wish they had kept in the ability to become a werewolf.Three,they should have kept the unarmored skill in the game.
Those things aside,I recommend this game to anyone.It's immersive,addictive,and flexible in gameplay.Its great that they kept in the freedom of Morrowind,which is what truly got me into the game,and the new additions to the game really make it shine.

To those unfamiliar with Morrowind,or its predecessors,it could be frustrating to set up a character that you're satisfied with,but those familiar can jump right in and build exactly what they want.If you are new to the series,experimentation is in order when building your character(s).

All in all,this is an excellent game that anyone with the system that can run it should own.

I've got to go back and play some more....I'm addicted!!
