Its just as beautiful as I wanted it to be taking that the PC version was superb.

I push anyone who likes hundreds of hours of gameplay and a perfect unique experience to get this game on friday.

Its so damn good.

Yay! I don't have to have it on my PC anymore. :)

Anyone thinking of getting it?

Storage isn't the point I'm trying to make here.

What I mean is, I beleive the X-box version only contains the data from the first CD of the PC game, it doesn't have anything from the second or third disc at all.

But I'm not certain, which is why I asked.

Yeah, you can occasionally have problems with enemies limbs sticking through doors, like Goldeneye on the N64. There are a couple of othr glitches, but nothing serious.

I've never bothered with the expansion packs, but the game modding is quite cool. Create your own dungeons, items, etc. If you feel the game is unbalanced you can adjust it in just about any way you want.

eg, I decided it was unrealistic that my character could carry 14,000 gold pieces with no encumberance, so I edited the weight of gold pieces.

It's an excellent game as it is, but with a game with such a huge scope there are always going to be things you think should be slightly different. With the construction kit in the PC version, you can make those changes.

Does the XBox version contain the construction set? As it has a hard drive, I see no reason why it shouldn't...

True, but if the game is as big as it's supposed to be, do you really need to?

The only problem with the XBox version is that you can't download all the expansion packs and customise the game in the way you can on the PC...

IT should all be there. A CD holds 650 MB, altough you can get 700MB ones as well.

A DVD Can hold up to 7.5GB. Thats roughly 10 CD's. So unless Morrowind is a really huge game, it'll all be there.

From what I can tell no, I would at a guess say the game is recorded onto DVD standard disks for the XBox game and CD disks for the PC game.

It doesn't look inferior however the minimum specs to run the game on a PC are higher than the chip within the XBox, however its nothing to go on.

I will find out that information for you. It now interests me to what media something will change.
