Some very positive first impressions from Morrowind have been posted at IGN.PC. Here's a part of it:
The graphics really require an excellent system (Bethesda Softworks recommends 256K MB RAM, a high-end video card, and 800 MHz or faster Pentium III); and even then, there are periodic freezes as the game loads new data. However, the results are worth it. This is easily the most beautiful game I've ever seen. (Though in their day, Might and Magic III and Ultima VIIa came close.) It is also one of the most interactive. Click on a plant alongside the edge of the road or a mushroom growing on the side of a tree, and you'll be able to take a sample for possible alchemical use. Some creatures fly, and on a sunny day you can get a sense when you're about to be attacked if a shadow starts growing larger around you. While you can't move or throw objects, the engine does support a marksmanship skill that includes arrows, bolts, and various handheld missiles. |
