Thanks to Morrowind Summit for spotting this collection of most frequently asked questions about Morrowind, answered by Pete Hines:
Pete's Read This First Before Posting sticky thread:
There are many, many questions that get asked over and over on these forums. Before you ask your question, please look through the questions below to see if the answer you're looking for is there. We will update this list regularly.
When is Morrowind coming out?
The official release date is spring of this year (2002). We have not announced a more specific date than this. We plan to release the PC and Xbox versions simultaneously.
What about Europe?
Ubi Soft will distribute Morrowind throughout Europe and has indicated a June 2002 release date.
Will there be localized versions?
Yes, localized versions are in the works for France and Germany, and possibly other territories as well. Contact Ubi Soft Europe for more info.
Where can I order it?
You can place a pre-order for Morrowind at any software retail store like EB, Babbages, Best Buy, as well as through their online sites. You will also be able to pre-order it directly from us in the next few days.
Is there a Collector's Edition? If so, what's in it?
There is a Collector's Edition for the PC version. It contains all of the contents of the regular edition, plus a pewter Ordinator figurine (2 1/2 inches tall), a book on the Art of Morrowind, and the Morrowind Original Soundtrack on a seperate CD. To find out more, visit www.elderscrolls.com and choose Team from the Codex Menu. You'll see the Collector's Edition article in the list on the left side.
How much does the game cost?
MSRP is $49.99 for the PC and Xbox versions, $59.99 for the Collector's Edition. However, each retailer decides for themselves how much they charge.
Will there be a strategy guide?
Yes. The Morrowind Prophecies is the official strategy guide for Morrowind and is being written and published by Bethesda Softworks. It will be available for $15.99 wherever you can buy Morrowind.
What are the system requirements for the PC version?
We are still confirming system requirements through external compatibility testing. However, we can tell you that you'll want to have at least a Pentium III with a 32MB video card that supports hardware T&L.
How big is Morrowind? Is it bigger or smaller than Daggerfall?
Morrowind is huge. It's over 10 square miles. Unlike Daggerfall, Morrowind has been created entirely by hand, thereby ensuring that it does not feel "generic" and that there are plenty of things to do as you wander all over this massive world.
Is Morrowind an online game? Does it have multiplayer?
No and no. Morrowind is a massively single-player game. We did not include multiplayer because it would have detracted from making the single player game as good as it could be.
Do I play in 1st or 3rd person?
Either. You can switch between the two at any time, for both the PC and Xbox version.
What are the differences between the two versions?
The only major difference is the controls/interface. All of the game content is exactly the same. The PC version also ships with the TES Construction Set, which does not come with the Xbox version. It requires a keyboard and mouse and it is not possible to make it available for Xbox.
What is the TES Construction Set?
Check out the TES Construciton Set section of our Codex on www.elderscrolls.com for an overview of what it is and what it does.
Can I get a job or internship with you?
We are not currently hiring or looking for interns. We'll post positions at www.bethsoft.com when they do become available.
Things that are not in Morrowind
Nudity, climbing rope, mounts, werebeasts, multiplayer, asparagus, N'Sync, calculus, and the Loch Ness monster. |
