Man. In my opinion, Morrowind is the best game ever. You can do ANYTHING you want to do. I just had the original for the Xbox, and I just picked up The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - Game of the Year Edition (Has the Tribunal and Bloodmoon expansions AND the original) for the Xbox last week ($29), and it is so great. You could choose to follow the main quest if you want, or just go off and do your own thing. I've heard it takes 200+ hours to finish EVERYTHING in Morrowind (WITHOUT the expansions Tribunal and Bloodmoon), but I've had to spend at least that much just fucking around (stealing/exploring/killing/etc). My main character is level 65 something, and I haven't even started working on the main quest. I really fucking hate RPGs, I fucking despise them actually, but Morrowind is the only RPG I've enjoyed (Besides Star Wars: KotOR) ever. Morrowind is so beautiful, every little thing is detailed, the weather effects, small items, armor, trees, plants, water, & etc, are all rendered beautifully. My favorite thing about Morrowind is that it is not linear. In my opinion, once you've played one Final Fantasy-type RPG, you've played them all. They are so linear, you can't do anything on your own, you have to follow the game's shitty, predetermined plot down to the last detail. Whereas in Morrowind, you can do whatever you want, become a vampire, werewolf, mage, warrior, alchemist, adventurer, crusader, just whatever you fucking feel like. Don't like a comment a villager said to you? Smash his fucking skull in with a club, take the key to his chest, take all his valubles, etc. I really love this game, I could go on for days explaining how much I love it, but talking so much about it, makes me want to go play it right now, so I'll shut up.
