Is;

- Beautiful
- Clever
- Funny
- Disappointing
- RPG-Lite (Not a good thing)
- Intuitive - combat/magic is great
- Again, beautiful
- Good in some of its quests - boasts are good

Isn't;

- Engrossing AT ALL
- as fun as you all said it was
- Awful
- Seamless
- Brilliant
- great-in-it's-social-interactions-which was-the-main-thing-everybody-appeared-to-love

It's good in bits, rubbish in others. Looks/sounds/feels great. Social interactions suck - you tap some buttons until someone likes/hates you, and then run away to some new place - there's simply nothing to do of any real importance - sure you can say 'get drunk and listen to people laugh' etc, then 'go kill monsters while drunk' - doesn't make the game any more interesting.

Good, but nothing, nothing to what it was supposed to be - and that's not just in the missing features, it's also in the simple fact it's just not as good as it should be....

Anyone wanna buy? O, and Riddick too, which was also good, but I didn't love it much either.....

I second your laughter.

OOT > Morrowind > Deus Ex > Gladius

Or if you're doing RPGs only

[SOAL >] Morrowind > Dues Ex > Gladius

Not being able to complete a game or hae any kind of reward for playing just did my head in. And when i ompared the save on the oxm of the werewolf to my game of 60 hours it made me look like i had played it for 5 minutes so i sold it to someone on here for a tenner!

I know. I was saying Morrowind isn't boring, which I realise is tantamount to insanity for most of you.

Right on, fable was ok but too short, morrowwind sufered the problem of just being plain boring!

I finally gave in and got Fable yesterday, stayed up all night playing it and i'm impressed. Seems like the perfect blend of KOTOR and Morrowind.
