Hey, all. I just dug out my Xbox and am playing Morrowind again. :) Also, I bought a copy of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance for my sis, so we can battle. I'll bet a lot of you have played that, but I'm wondering if any of you Computer Geeks or Xbox owners have given orrowind a try. When Peter Molyneux's Fable came out, I played it and beat it within 25 hours, and that includes a bit of nosing about things unrelated to the main quest. I was horribly disappointed with the brevity of the game, and as predicted, have returned to the Elder Scrolls.
My favorite character was a Dunmer warrior (customized class w/ Light Armor proficiency, Long Blade proficiency, and a variety of other skills [such as Alteration and Security]). I've played all of the other races, but my favorites (in terms of appearance) are Dunmer, Altmer, and the Beast Races. I max all of my skills, end up around level 90 when I finish the GotY expansions, and hunt for all of the caves, tombs, ruins, and miscellanious sidequests. I even do the Daedric Quests and the Vampire Quests.
In other words, I adore this freaking game!!! There's never been one like it, and I am afraid that the next installment, Oblivion, will likely end up somewhat abbreviated (like Fable? Oh no!!) to compensate for a heavy video load, and the Alchemy and Training mini-games will only annoy people who totally loved Morrowind and the titles that preceeded it. Making games 'more mainstream' ruins them in my opinion. Variety and uniqueness is what makes games like these winners.
Anyway, anybody here like Morrowind or know of a good forum for it?
