A hands-on preview of Morrowind was posted by the Armchair Empire today. Needless to say that it is - once more - full of praise for the game.
While Morrowind feels fairly complete, I have this horrible feeling I only scratched the surface. With so much to explore, character variables to take into account, items to collect and use (yay, lock picks!), and the seemingly infinite expandability of Morrowind’s world, The Elder Scrolls III is going to be one massive game to explore and enjoy – even for non-RPG fans. Even doodling around with the character creation is fun and could be considered the most important part of the game. I don’t want to make any grand sweeping statements because I’ve been wrong before, so I’ll qualify this with the Almighty “IF”. If the developers can deliver a bug free product, since all the other ingredients are present – massive world, mostly conventional RPG elements, a powerful Construction set, great graphics, sound and inventory – Morrowind is likely to capture more than a few imaginations and keep us playing for a long time. |
