DESCRIPTION

Originally developed for the PC, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is an open-ended RPG set in a fantasy realm populated by an assortment of species, races, and character classes. An unwilling passenger aboard a slave ship, the player arrives in the port of Seyda Neen with little more than a handful of coins and instructions to deliver a package to an Imperial officer in the distant city of Balmora.

By answering questions posed at the beginning of the game, players are able to customize the race, sex, class, birth sign, and skill set of their character. A plethora of skills (both primary and secondary) and abilities allow players to create distinct characters, from a magically proficient thief to a stealthy, accomplished warrior. For the less creative, one of 21 predefined character classes can be chosen.

Though primarily played from a first-person perspective, a third-person view is also available. The continued use of specific skills will see them improve over time. Excessive use of particular attributes can lead to exponential rises in ability points. Additionally, when a character rises in level, points are awarded that can be assigned to core attributes, such as strength or intelligence. Certain non-playable characters will also train characters to increase specific attributes...for a price.

Though Morrowind provides a main storyline for players to follow, exploration is encouraged, effectively allowing players to do as they wish. Side-quests, which range from finding items to learning spells to assassinating someone, can be performed at the player's whim on behalf of various factions or guilds. More often than not, there are multiple ways to attain a desired result.

Player can be good or bad in their deeds, though needlessly killing people will result in the disposition of those around you changing for the worse. This in turn can lead to higher prices for goods or may hurt one's chances in obtaining vital information from people who would otherwise be more forthcoming. As with a character's actions, being a member of a specific faction will affect the attitudes of those around you — members of a certain cult may be welcomed in one town and shunned in another, and naturally, the various factions have dispositions toward one another as well.

Battles take place in real-time, allowing players to attack with whatever weapon or spell they have at their disposal. Of course proficiency with, and the attributes of a specific weapon or magic ability factor into the character's effectiveness in battle. While the Xbox version of the game lacks the character, quest, and environment construction set found within the PC game, it retains the ability to save anywhere, allowing players to jump in and out of the game as desired. ~ Gavin Frankle, All Game Guide

“will it follow Morrowind lore and take place in Vvardenfell or just using it as a setting ? i feel you on the LP i am creative but when i write any thing it becomes a HUGE mess and ideas collide. i admire any one with a great writing ability and able to put it down but thats why i just read and play the games. i would be intrested in at least giving it a gander. BTW Tot i got my map from GotY on my wall still too.”

TheTot was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“It is very much based around Morrowind lore, and does in fact take place in Vvardenfell. It takes place before the actual game, though. The story, does, I mean. It's like a prequel to Morrowind. Yeah, it're more of a fanfic than an LP but whatever. I have the first one posted.”

“Not only do I think that this is an awesome idea, and would totally love to read something like this, but I also think that if you're really going to do this, then I'm going to pass the word around to at least a couple people.”

“Amazing game. The freedom has no boundaries. I could start playing it right now and eventually my world would be a whole lot different than I once had and Morrowind at excellent graphics back then.”

“Every time I read someone's character build, it makes me want to play that game again. I ran a custom class that was pretty magic focused. You become pretty indestructible towards the end when you can enchant your items with Regen health and mana.”

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (XBOX) by: Scraps69

“This game makes you feel like a hero in a fantasy world. If you are into prophecised saviour and stuff and good fantasy RPG, then this is right up your alley... hmm, this game is still worth playing even if oblivion is out.”

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (XBOX) by: Colest

“One of the most enthralling games I have ever played. Almost everything about is perfect, from the game world, to the customization, to the story and your affect on the world. Only complaint about this game is the fighting system is tacky.”

“Those guys at Bethesda are sneaky. I like to get in my character but the first time I played this game I was like: Oh, nobody has a last name! Oh, I don't need one either!! But only Jiub is last nameless.

But Jiub is bad-ass.

Anyways, what do you think happened to Jiub?

"I'm sure they'll let us go!"

No way dude, they're only going to let me out. ^^”
