The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, commonly referred to simply as Morrowind, is a single player computer role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios, and published by Bethesda Softworks and Ubisoft. It is the third installment in The Elder Scrolls series of games. It was released in North America in 2002 for Microsoft Windows and the Xbox. Well-received publicly and critically, selling over four million copies and winning more than 60 awards, including Game of the Year, Morrowind holds an average review score of 89% from both Metacritic and Game Rankings.The game spawned two expansion packs for the PC: Tribunal and Bloodmoon. Both were eventually repackaged into a full set containing all three, Morrowind: Game of the Year Edition, which shipped on October 30, 2003 for both PC and Xbox. The story takes place on Vvardenfell, an island in the Dunmer province of Morrowind, which lies in the empire of Tamriel and is far from the more civilized lands to the west and south that typified Daggerfall and Arena. The central quests concern the deity Dagoth Ur, housed within the volcanic Red Mountain, who seeks to gain power and break Morrowind free from Imperial reign. Morrowind was designed with an open-ended free-form style of gameplay in mind, with a lessened emphasis on the game's main plot. This choice received mixed reviews in the gaming press, though such feelings were tempered by reviewers' appreciation of Morrowind's expansive and detailed game world.

    The breakout game of the Elder Scrolls series, and the first to use a designed world instead of a procedurally generated one.

    My favourite game of all time, I'd say. I prefer this over Oblivion, actually. Maybe it's less "easy to learn", and has some rough edges (like the uninteresting combat system), but it's huge, full of things to discover, with a new and original atmosphere.. I simply LOVE it!

    My overall favourite game of all time. It gets my first ever vote of all 5 stars.
    It was the greatest game of its time and i believe it still is. Sure it had a few glitches, but as anyone who has played it knows you learn to love them and have them become a part of the experience.
    Morrowind was my first true love.
    It is only AU$20 for the Game of the Year edition here... i mean seriously.
    I will now quote from my blog (http://caryatid.itriss.com/wp/)

    "I love Morrowind, as I am sure anyone that knows me is aware. So writing a blog review on it is the next step in my ultimate plan to fully express my undying love of Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, the best game ever.

    Don’t get me wrong, I love the entire Elder Scrolls series, from Arena, Right up to Oblivion; but none caught me as much as Morrowind did. Arena and Daggerfall didn’t feel like they had the same depth, although I respect them for their being the eldest children in a beautiful family, and still being as original as the latter children were. Oblivion was made with heart stealingly amazing graphics for the time, almost too good for the time to tell the truth, but didn’t have the same originality of environment that Morrowind had.

    Yes yes, I know Cyrodiil has a different ecosystem, yes I know it is the land of the Imperials… but GOD going from an alien landscape of queer beauty to one of repetitive fields, mountains and forests, over and over, with Imperials being 90% of the population, and no slaves… well it wasn’t as entertaining.

    And when a group of modders decided to make my dreams come true and start the Morroblivion project, porting Morrowind things into Oblivion… Bethesda stopped it for infringing copyright… against itself. Bethesda was my favourite game company in the world, that little issue there put it behind Blizzard… BEHIND BLIZZARD.

    Morrowind has soul, or maybe it’s simply my nostalgia screaming at me that this game is awesome… but no other part of my childhood has come back to force me to revisit it so many times as Morrowind has, or filled my mind and vocabulary with so much.

    I’ve spent hours furnishing houses with various mods, arranging slaves as librarians, caterers, cleaners and then setting out food for them… I never had a doll house as a kid so it seems it comes through in my gaming.

    Wandering the landscape aimlessly takes up the other 70% of my time, and Morrowind wasn’t really THAT big a landscape when you compare it to Oblivion without using fast travel.

    You can complain about the graphics, but with so many graphics enhancing mods, it isn’t really that much of an issue. You can complain about the game having too much to do, but you can just ignore that and play the storyline, you can hate Morrowind completely and call me silly for loving it so much… but you just don’t see things like I do."

    Overall:

    Disappointing how little it's used now, and although the graphics and gameplay are inferior to Oblivion (but luckily are both improved by a fantastic modding community), I still think it blows it's sequel out of the water in variety, atmosphere, and story.

    Can't recommend this game enough.
