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.

A dated, glacial RPG relic—where ”walking simulator” meets RNG combat (missed a rat 10 times?). The world’s unique, but cliff racers, barren landscapes, and no quest markers make it torture

I want to like this game. I've tried at least three times over the course of 20 years, at first thinking I just didn't get what the game was trying to do. But I can't do it. Too much mud and mushrooms.

You can fly around a world full of mushrooms, dinosaur looking things, demons, and get called an n'wah, what's there not to like?

Wealth beyond measure, outlander. Clunky as shit but so, SO in-depth with a fascinating, alien world to explore for hours and hours. Kirkbride is a fucking hack fraud who I despise on a fundemental level, but at very least Dagoth Ur is probably the best villain in all of TES.

The writing is unparalleled for a game of this scope but that same scope severely limits the game as well. Gameplay is a chore and there are a lot of boring quests and factions. I still admire it for being the game which changed western RPG's, arguably for the worse.

tried to play it recently and way too outdated. pretty sure i'm glad i never played it even back then though. the exp and leveling up traits is too weird, the quest system was weird and unclear right?, and fast travel was done with that weird spell so you had to remember where you last left a point lol. the story was cool. i died when those random sleeper agents started coming up to me. but then they go back to normal :P. loved seeing lore things i never knew like the fast travel monster

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.

The only Bethesda game I really like, chiefly because of the wonderfully unique setting and the great atmosphere that accompanies it. The gameplay has a lot of flaws, but running around Vvardenfell and doing strange things for strange people just feels good. I'm also among the few people who genuinely like the keyword-based dialogue system.

Morrowind is a masterful game. Or at least it could have been. The world is magnificent, to a quality none of the following games would achieve in creativity. The only thing bringing this third installment down is the combat mechanics. Or lack thereof.
