title says it all, should i get i?

You wont finish it before the 11th.

Still my number one of all time.

I would recommend it, it is probably one of the best games for its time, and still is IMO

Yes.

It's a good game and you should still be able to enjoy. It's got a horrible combat system though.

Yeah but don't expect to be doing much with Skyrim's a month away. And rushing the game isn't ever fun.

Unless you aren't getting Skyrim on Day 1.

probably wont be, I hate hunting games down in the stores because they are sold out at release, and besides, I will have exams coming up at that point and I will likely end up flipping burgers for the rest of my life if I buy skyrim before exams.

I'll probably stick with something I can actually put down, like modern warfare 3, until about christmas when my schedule is less busy.



But here is another thing I was thinking, Fallout 3. Its between morrowind and Fallout 3, can't decide. But the atmosphere of morrowind just looks so attractive to me, so few fantasy games utilize weird architecture and moods like that.

I also never played shivering isles, I could always do that.

Definitely! Morrowind is one of the greatest games ever made. There are dozens of towns, each vastly different and unique to each other. The amount of lore and attention to detail-along with the outright strangeness of Morrowind make it a must play. The game is rather difficult if you play vanilla though. Magicka doesn't regenerate and there are certain areas and enemies that you will come across that will utterly destroy you (plus cliff racers :flame: ). However, there are so many factions and houses to do. Exploration is amazing as there are some truly amazing artifacts, people, creatures, places to find-not the level crap Oblivion had. Morrowind is old-school and the combat is slow and laborious, but it will get under your skin like no other game before ever has. Seriously there are some deranged and wild, but hilarious residents of Vvardenfall, and I guarantee that you will always have fond memories of them for years to come if you decide to play.

I'd say you probably enjoy Fallout 3 more, but Morrowind is really good. Get both! You could probably find Morrowind GOTY for $10 or less.

Any time is a good time for Morrowind.


If you're on a PC you might want to grab some graphical mobs though, just so the difference between Morrowind and games from 2011 isn't so incredibly big.

Yeah, it's always a good time to try out something new. Just don't let the [censored] tell you that the game is perfect, because it isn't. It is just as flawed as Oblivion in many respects.

Still a fantastic game though.

I would love to see the results of that exam!
All the answers would be Skyrim related. :biggrin:

It's still in my opinion, the best game on this Earth. I would definitely recommend it, but it takes a very peculiar kind of gamer to come to the same conclusion I do. And I don't mean that as a backhanded "I'm better than this type of person" insult or anything.

So what exactly does Morrowind offer that I feel no other game does? A true "Second World" feel, and with that, an actual sense of exploration, excitement and consequence. They sell the life of the Island of Vvardenfell in the small details. Some things in the game simply exist for the sake of reinforcing this. You can see how the people of Vvardenfell live their lives, the unique foods, their exports, and the Empire's role in their lives as conquerors. Simply existing in this world is a thrill I've not found truly as powerful in any other gaming experience (Fallout 3 and New Vegas come quite close though).

Morrowind does a lot of things wrong though, which is why it's such a divided game. The actual core gameplay seems to exist only as a vessel of necessity. Magic, Stealth and Combat are all equally uninteresting as an action, though the traditional RPG "Die Roll" Mechanics of their function will definitely appeal to Power RPGers and true Roleplayers deeply. Unlike in Oblivion, you can use the games mechanics against itself, and buff certain attributes to instantly crush even the strongest opposition. Additional, Balance is an afterthought, Medium armor is a "Bridge" to be used as a sub-skill at best, as it lacks any end-game quality armors outside of mods and some expansions, and many of the weapon types don't behave in any meaningfully unique manner.

The Games' age has also presented a new (Albeit, rectifiable problem with a little patience) of looking pretty terrible. Artistically, the game has moments of breathtaking beauty, but this game comes from a time when Graphics did limit the art, so a lot of the games' conceptualized glory is lost in goofy animations and nigh-unrecognizable meshes. MGE turns the environment into next-gen amazing, and services a lot of the meshes into something that looks like it is actually alive.

And then there's the cliff racers. This is a problem that cannot be described, it has to be experienced.

It is always a good time for Morrowind. But you won't finish it before the 11th.......of 2017.

I fully recommend you get it though, I know for a fact that you won't be able to complete it before 11.11.11

It's always a good time. Also, you'll want this: http://btb2.free.fr/morrowind.html

Bought Morrowind in 2002, have played through it many times, with tons of different characters and nowadays I still play it regularly.

Yes it is 100% worth playing :tops:

Is it worth playing NOW before Skyrim ? hmmm...tough one, it should take you a long time to explore MW, so cramming it in may not be the best way to play it. But still, if you like it allot you can always delay playing Skyrim :tongue:


I started TES with Oblivion, and i went backwards in the series to play Morrowind, and i kind of prefferd MW to OB myself.

I played it after Oblivion, never spent masses of time with it (Not sure why i stopped playing it, think the laptop i was using for it broke) but it was still a good game.

The time it takes to "do" Morrowind depends on the time the player has at his disposal. I spent about a month with my first character. I did most of the quests in the game. But I played several hours a day, everyday back then. If you game hard, you can "use up" Morrowind in less time than it will take for Skyrim to get here.

That, of course, is considering only the time it takes to do quests...

eh, it just sorta matters. Great good, good plot, people seem to favor it over Oblivion. But it's a bit outdated, graphically speaking. What platform would you be playing it on?

I myself prefer Oblivion over morrowind, but yes you should play morrowind. It's got tons of crap to do and is in general an amazing game. The combat system is it's only true flaw and the lack of a quest log but if you get the GOTY edition you get a quest log

Crap thats a lot of mods. It will be 11 11 11 before I get all those installed for Morrowind just to play it.

Definitely yes. Besides, you can taste a nice sample of Skyrim with the Bloodmoon expansion (set in Solstheim, a small Nordic-like snowy island).
