Why does morrowind run like crap on my 360? It took me almost 30 seconds to save the game. This was like right when you start out in seyda neen I can't imagine how much longer it would take once I start leveling up. Everything seems to take longer to load aswell. It runs atleast 10x better on the original xbox.

Well Morrowind's load times on the X-box are notoriously long once a character reaches in the 20 level range but I have no idea whats wrong with the 360. Making Morrowind compatible wasn't an easy task. I have no doubt that they cut corners along the way. There was talk prior to Morrowind becoming compatible on the 360 that it may never be converted because it took a monumental effort to get Morrowind on the original X-box and they might not want to put in the effort to make it 360 compatible.

I don't think they cut corners, it was just the way xbox morrowind was made. Since the game could only run on Xbox, they set it up very dependent on how xbox's hardware was set up. To get Morrowind working on the Xbox 360, they had to make the 360 mimic the original xbox hardware. Even with the best emulation coding, that type of thing will usually give worse performance than the original system.

Don't blame morrowind, game runs good on my pc and brother's xbox.

Very old post and yes i blame morrowind not my baby xbox nuf said punk.

Chill out man.

If they had to alter the 360, not Morrowind, to get the game to work, then yes it's the 360's shortcomings (or rather trying to make it do something it can't) that make the game run bad. Buy the game for the PC and get over yourself.
