Not the GOTY edition, I'm not that rich at the moment....and that gives you some idea of my monetary status.
Got it 2 for £20 with Wolfenstein (purely for Live, as single player appears to be as rubbish as I was expecting).
Now. I know this game ain't everybodies (Edgy/Albino-Man) cup of tea, but I do like these kind of things, as long as they aren't overly dark and constricted like games such as Arx Fatalis - i.e, it looks nice, is actually outside and not in dingeons (how is a dungeon, bar Zelda ones, ever epic?!) and is HUGE, but is also detailed.
Well, let me see. It's slow (as in running is pathetic at the moment) but it's terribly enthralling in a horribly over beardy way. I'm not so into RPGs that I love all the dice rolls and absoloutely infuriating sword-missing-huge-man-target, and games such as KOTOR are fantastic because they cover this kind of thing up brilliantly. However, Morrowind is so far, excellent.
Partly because of the people. They may look pretty rubbish, but there are so many of them, and while questions might be generic, this is the first offline game I've played where there are towns that actually feel like real places, simply because more than 6 people live in them (again, excepting some places in Zelda....ahhh, I love Zelda).
But the real killer for me, overriding all the un-linear play, annoyingly beardy stuff and the fog, is the map. I love maps, they suggest exploration and unknown delights, so the first time I opened up the world map, I was in sad beardy RPG heaven.
I can't wait to see what's around.

Black Glove is the main Morrowind man. He mentioned having played more than 300 hours on it without finishing it.
And if you ever do decide to get the GOTY version, you can use your current save.
I do fancy it, but I just got Grandia 2 on the DC, so I really don't need another epic. One day I'll get it though.

Get Carve ifyou've got little to no money- it rules
Yep.
Morrowind's a superb achievement. So beautifully non-linear.

From now on the online games i'll get will either be good online games or FPS. Since i played online i just dont like single player games anymore, especially RPG.
Oh, i still like Championship Manager .

That's narrow minded....
I have decided that me and RPG game dont mix, i hate all role playing games now. I only like online games and FPS.
