"Morrowind- Great game but bewildering"

well first off its huge. No sorry massive. however I have hardly played at it because I haven't had the time to sit down a focus on it as it is very bewildering at first.

Just make time dude!

The game deserves it.

Be sick for a few days and play it.

The freedom is the gameplay.

Sure, wandering around can be dull. So spend time in the towns instead :)
Some of the guilds have some interesting quests, and a lot of the towns are worth exploring. You'd be suprised how useful it really is to talk to people. I strongly recommned you have a good look around Vivec, and listen to the rumors...

You need to know a little about your character before you decide what to do. If you're a thief, how good are you? You can improve through items as well as levelling. A good thief can even break into the vaults in Vivec.

If you're a fighter, find your limits. You might want to try exploring dungeons and tombs - and daedric ruins if you're even more powerful. You'd be amazed what you can find there.

But having said that, I can't stop playing it. The gameworld is really nice.
I've just arrived at the sleepy pastoral village of Pelagiad.

What race and class are you Silent?

I'm a Wood Elf with all the Stealth abilities.

I'm struggling to find anything "interesting" to do. I nicked a diamond for some lizard at the Thief's Guild, but I wouldn't call that really interesting.

Morrowind would be cool if it wasn't for all the RPG levelling-up - all that rigmarole just gets in the way of enjoying the possibilities.

I was looking forward to this, but after a few average reviews from the US version I thought twice about the game. Also with its massive game world would I even have time to play other games. I decided not to bother getting the game, as I prefer the pick up and play games now, which let you play for 30 mins and then save and turn it off. With Uni e.t.c. I cant really spend loads of time playing games. Still havent completed Mario Sunshine, got loads of Vice City to do as well as play MechAssault online.

I've just been wandering around for about 5 hours killing a few wild beasties and er, that's it really.

I like the vast gameworld, but I'm not sure if the game is actually any good.

With the painfully slow levelling-up, the lack of anything "really" interesting in the villages - I'm not sure it's worth the effort.

I mean, when you think about it: where's the gameplay?
