There is a new and highly recommended review of Morrowind: Tribunal at Four Fat Chicks. Overall, they are very positive about the expansion, but do not fail to touch its weak points. Here's their conclusion:
Generally speaking Tribunal is a great expansion pack. It fixes bugs, adds new places to explore, enhances the capabilities of the game, and is very well written and designed. Though the plot is fairly straightforward compared to some of the more devious story arcs that Bethesda writers are known for, it nonetheless kept my attention throughout and was deeply enjoyable to play.
Sadly, it does little to correct the underlying complaints about Morrowind. Make no mistake, those complaints are few and for the most part quite paltry, but I would love to have seen them addressed here. Also, I would rather Tribunal had been cleanly integrated into the world of Morrowind rather than seeming like an expansion pack due simply to the amount of effort involved in physically getting to the new locations. Next time I want horses, carts, better journal controls, balance for high-level players, and more accessible exotic weapons. When all that is provided, we may well have the near-perfect CRPG. |
