| Morrowind vs. Unreal Engine (Can't Compare) |
|
Morrowind Can NOT be compared to the new Unreal engine!!! Morrowind is HUGE. Unreal Maps are tiny and have no interactive components like Morrowind. I have purchased nearly every PC game that has been released in the past 5 years and none can compare to what Morrowind offers in the SP RPG area. The engine is fantastic and runs fine on yer machine. It's an RPG not a FPS. NEVER COMPARE THE 2! I play Tribes 2 and when it was released last year, people said the same things about performance. A year later the game is showing it's true beauty. I get 20-70 FPS outside in Morrowind and it is very acceptible.

I understand your disappointment about performance but if your watching your FPS instead of what's happening in the game, you will surely be unhappy. Do yourself a favor and turn off FRAPS or whatever you use to measure FPS. You will only be happy when you get to playing.
Good Luck. |

I was reading every fifth or so post, and I see lots of people disappointed.  Hell I'm one of them; FPS is killing me especially in towns (5 to 10, this patch didn't help). But I still return to play this game, why? Because this is almost the best RPG ever made, I would be in seven heaven if I didn't have this chopiness (that's where this almost comes in  ) from time to time.

I have a DELL Inspiron 8000. The sound card is an ESS Maestro.
In regards to the GeForce4MX, it is the only choice I have other than the Radeon 7500. Since I have a laptop I am VERY limited to the GPU's I can get. The GeForce4MX will give me almost double my current performance. This has been verified by benchmarks etc on the Dell Talk forum.
And yeah you are right, I wont have DirectX 8.1 compatability. It realy REALY sucks, but as I mentioned above I dont have any option that can support that.
And I promise you, I am realy not exagerating about the falling through the floor thing. It has happened at least six times. When it does it just lets me fall for a second or two and then I get teleported back up to where I was. |

Oh yeah... that same thing happened to me once! It was on the road to Baalmora from Seyda Neem. I just went poof and then I was falling toward some water then, all of a sudden, I was right back where I started. It only happened that one time but, now that you've described it, I know exactly what you're talking about!

To sum up for those who are just joining us:
Yes, some are experiencing bugs with this game, bad performance, and more. However, many (including myself) are enjoying relatively bug-free gameplay (only two crashes in 50 hours, got stuck a few times but wiggled out). Some are concerned that their extremely fast systems don't run the game much faster than their mid-range counterparts. This is partly true. Most can't play this game with the options all turned up. Is that acceptable? Well, that's up to you. Maybe, maybe not.
<soapbox>Let's be careful, though, not to be too quick to label those who are having problems as "idiots", while at the same time not labeling the game as "bug-ridden" and "unplayable". Most are reporting fine performance with the game; I myself have tried it on three systems ranging from Duron 900 Geforce 2 to XP1800+ Geforce3 with great results. I don't work for any game company, but I want more people to buy this game so that Bethesda can make more games like it.</soapbox>
