Okay, it's not that expensive but still, it's the same price as Oblivion and at least double as much as you'd find in retail.

I own Skyrim on PS3 and PC and Oblivion on PS3. I want to try this game out so bad but I don't know if it's worth $19.99 since I only have a limited budget for games.

And by that I mean, is it a lot different than Oblivion or Skyrim? Am I missing out by not playing it?

(Yeah, I think I said that alright.)

Why? Because it's the best TES game out there. That's why. Seriously, it won't drop in prize as long as there's a lot of people still buying it. In my opinion, it's better than Oblivion, so the only reason it would be cheaper is because it's 'old'. And that's a pretty bad reason.

It is worth $19.99, but as you said when you can get it for much cheaper, why wouldn't you?
Being the best TES game is subjective of course.
Also, he's saying that Steam is ridiculously priced compared to retail. Not that the game itself is too expensive.

Well, that depends alot on your expectations of games. Since you've played Skyrim and Oblivion, you'll experience alot of the gameplay as outdated. There are no voice acting (except for initial greetings from NPC's), but there are however alot more dialogue, but you'll have to read through it. If you can put up with the reading of dialogue, you'll find yourself rewarded for that, as the dialogue is rich and has alot to offer in its contexts. The story of the game and the amount of content definitely makes it worth it imo, but you need to make an effort of immersing yourself, reading the dialogue, etc, as Morrowind can't really be played for its gameplay alone.

Also, something worth noting, there's absolutely no map markers pointing you to your quests. You'll have to make sure you've read through all the relevant dialogue before setting out on your quest, or you'll be at a loss of what to do.

Yeah, pretty much. Although I can't recall the last time I've seen it in retail. I checked if gog.com had a better deal but they don't have Morrowind so no luck there.

And being an old game is reason enough for it to be cheaper.

It's $19.99 because people are willing to pay that price. Bethesda sells it for that much because they know the customer gets a huge game that is worth that much money.

Ah, I figured since M'aiq said something about a compass when I first met him in Oblivion.

Well you can't judge any Elder Scrolls game by it's gameplay I've learned. You have to judge the complete package. My only fear is that it will be a tad confusing or not just disappoint me.

Ah [censored] it, I'm buying this [censored]. #YOLO

I always ask this:

Would you pay $20 for a good meal out?

Well, as has been mentioned, it is an old game but it is a "very" good old game. You can easily spend 20-30 hours doing the main quest alone without even touching the wealth of side quests. Then there's the exploration of travelling and dungeon diving. 50-100 hours of game play isn't unreasonable. Compare that to getting a string of $1.00 games that get boring after a couple of hours of play and you'll see it works out as a better deal in the long run.

Now that said, if you're coming to Morrowind from Skyrim be sure you understand that it is an unrepentant RPG and that the graphics are ten years older. If you'e unsure about spending the money I'd suggest checking youtube for gameplay vidoes so you're sure you know what you're getting into graphics wise.

I personally did not care for it, but one could not call himself an Elder Scrolls fan if he didn't try it at least once.
