The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

This is perfection for me. After hundreds, if not thousands of hours spent I can say I will take memories of Morrowind to my grave. Some things are a bit awkward but man it is so immersive, huge (was back in te day) and atmosphere along with the music is simply stunning. I would pay a lot of a remake.

Morrowind is such an awkward game to play by modern standards. A lot of mechanics give the impression of "FUCKING WHY?" such as miss rates and the slow ass movement speed. The NPC's also have really unnatural dialog, as asking a basic question makes them talk like an excerpt from a novel. But why do I rate this so highly? Because the game captures the feeling of TES' lore perfectly and has a great sense of progression few RPG's have. Modding has also made this game better.

A standard for open gaming and storytelling fantasy. Its incredibly dated graphically but the premise still stands solid.

With a few mods to make it more like Oblivion or Skyrim it could be a good game but things like the lack of an arrow pointer really ruin it. You can see the underlying Bethesda greatness, just a few things ruin it.

ES3 is buggy and the mechanics are very dated compared to its successors, but there is something about Morrowind and its shear number of weapon classes, spells, text-based dialogue, and exploring the beautifully creative world itself that makes it a more immersive and rewarding experience than Oblivion and Skyrim.
