While the Morrowind patch is betatested by 500 users, Bluesnews spotted a couple of Morrowind reviews all over the net. The first one can be found at PC Gaming. It rates the game 4/5, and this is what they have to say about sound:
There's not too much to say about sound in the game, except that it's nice. All NPCs (that I've met anyways) say small phrases outloud, and so far the voice acting has been well done. There are a few things about the voice acting that can be slightly cheezy sometimes, like the one warrior I met with the Scottish accent, but they're no big deal. Compared to most games I'd say the quality of the voice acting is above average. The music is nothing that stands out as phenomenal, but at the same time it fits the setting of the game well. You won't be rushing out to buy the soundtrack but I don't think people will be turning the music off either. The background music is sensitive to what is taking place in the game, and by that I mean it changes when you get into fights or when serious events happen. The second review can be found at Counterglow. There is no rating given, but this is their summary:
Morrowind is a sure hit with CRPG players, but if FPS players will find the combat unimaginative and the graphics only passable. Morrowind just isn’t a good FPS, and it isn’t intended to be. The main quest is unclear to the player in the beginning, but as the game progresses the plot unfolds nicely. All the factions in the game, each with their separate interests in the outcome, add to the intrigue and political suspense. The sheer number of things to do and the size of the island itself are mind-boggling and game runs without any show-stopping bugs (Note on editing: on this reviewer’s system). Considering Bethesda’s track record in the bug department, this is quite an accomplishment, more so when you again consider the huge scale of the game. Morrowind has extremely heavy system requirements (never mind what’s printed on the box) and users of mid to low range systems might want to wait until they have a chance to upgrade before buying the game. Otherwise, expect periodic stalls and framerate problems. The inventory and journal features need work, and one can only hope these problems and some of the resource hogging can be addressed in the upcoming patch. | | Source: BluesNews |
