I'm one of those guys willing to give Ed Martin and EA a second (third) chance.

Thanks I found it pretty boring to be honest. Most of the random quests are of the 'get an object and bring it back' type. Prepare for a LOT of long, boring walks. Or use a bee to fly on, but that's just as boring :) >May God be with you, Thanks. Andre >Ray

It's kind of like a crappy version of Hexen II (which was pretty good)
My son rented it (a good way to sample games). To paraphrase, he sez it's a nice place to pass thru, but he wouldn't wanna play there. "Ray" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:hXhb9.2112$[email hidden]... > If you have is it worth the $55-$65?? Looking to buy a new game to occupymy

Well I'm going to disagree with everyone here and say it is an absolutely awesome game IF you are into deep RPG's. The plot has a lot of neat twists, there are numerous conflicting factions and much intrigue, and hundreds of hours of gameplay. But you really have to be into that sort of thing to enjoy it. If you are the type who thinks Diablo 2 is an RPG, forget it. Oh, and btw it's no GPL. ;o) "Ray" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:hXhb9.2112$[email hidden]... > If you have is it worth the $55-$65?? Looking to buy a new game tooccupy my

That makes it also very complicated in a good way for different character interaction between each other. Not that it's a bad game, it's just too much RGP for people who want action, and too much action for those who hardcore players wanted a serious RPG :) -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- http://www.ymenard.8m.com/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimago-Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...

I'd definitely agree here. Haven't got far into it but so far its great.

I agree with Frankie to an extent. If you're looking for an action game forget it, but as an openended pretty free structure RPG, Morrowind is very good. I found it pretty difficult to get into, but perseverance works and you get really hooked after a while. In the UK, most of the mags rate it as the best RPG out there!

Yeah, I'll never see 36 fps either, the frame rate on the Xbox version never seems to dip that low. ;o) "Kendt Eklund" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > "Haqsau" <[email hidden]> wrote in messagenews:<akm61g$1ifmvt$[email hidden]>...

The trick is you have to really role play to get the most out of Morrowind. If you want the game to be enjoyable and don't want to get bogged down by the depth, then you have to NOT try to max out your stats, NOT try to talk to every single NPC, and NOT try to go on every single side quest. If you play your character according to his/her skills, only talk to NPC's that it would be logical for your character to talk to, and only go on quests that make sense for your character, you will not get lost in the complexity of the game. In short, just live your character and do what is logical for the character to do. You don't even need to worry about story advancement, the main quest will find you, one way or another. The complexity is not there to confuse you, the complexity is there so that every character can play an essentially different game. It's really a beatiful thing once you understand how it was meant to work. "Iain Mackenzie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3d70b069$[email hidden]... > I agree with Frankie to an extent.
