Morrowind
I just loaded Morrowind along with Tribunal and Bloodmoon.
After playing for a few minutes I adapted to the different interface and got over the incredibly crude graphics.
The basic characters don’t have much spoken dialog, but when they call you names it seems heartfelt. Unfortunately the dialog variations are very limited.
All in all the game feels like Might and Magic and the ilk. Slow, clunky and awkward, there were other games out at about the same time that did a better job on the graphics.
I have decided that Morrowind, with it’s forced exploration, was built to be played, and Oblivion, with it’s fast travel to any location you’ve ever been to, and fast travel to any city whether you’ve been there or not, it’s show everything map, and it’s “they went that-away” pointer, was built to be watched.
My advice is, if you’ve played Oblivion, don’t attempt to play Morrowind.
The awkward interface, it’s bad graphics, and pathetic terrain will drive you nuts.
In Oblivion. if you haven’t done it yet. Press the tilde then type tgm and hit enter, hit the tilde again, This puts you in god mode and you can explore all those places that got you killed before.
You also need to get the open very hard lock addon because the spell doesn’t seem to exist in the off the shelf game.
Now you can enjoy the movie.
