1st off Citizen Kabuto is one of my all time favorite games. Me and my friends LAN together and do 4 on 1 against Kabuto every weekend...fun fun fun.

Now, I was looking around and Morrowind is looking like the next game for me. Its got that whole day/night eat/sleep/work/play time-table in it and the graphics look amazing

Well, I think this one will:

http://www.elderscrolls.com/main.htm

I just spent 5 minutes reading some of the features, it has me drooling already.
Everything you see someone wearing/equipped can be taken/stolen/robbed.
24hr clock with NPCs acting according to their timetable
Ability for NPCs to lead and follow
in a nutshell, it has gothic style quality look to it, but a promise of a huge world and tons of classes, cities, roles, etc etc.
Problem is its not out yet (go figure)

From what I hear the other problem will be very high system requirements. They are trying to be one of the 1st games on the market that utilizes all the features of the new geforce 3 card, supposedly this thing is going to look better than the best shooters. So think about it, Gothic has very nice graphics, but honestly, the graphics don't have trasparent multi-layerd texturing and the poly count is kind of low, but since it is an RPG with a huge world and lots of ai scripts running, it bogs down even some pretty nice systems. Now imagine a game with the state of the art in graphics combined with a huge game world and complex ai scripts all preloaded and ready to roll depending on who you decide to talk to or what you decide to do (fight, steal), and you are talking about a monster system eater.
