Morrowind Elder Scrolls 3: Game of the Year Edition (PC)

Elder Scrolls IV, Oblivion: Official Strategy Guide Revised Edition

Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
In a nutshell:
One of the most respected Western role-playing games of all time is back with huge improvements in graphics and accessibility, including a completely real-time combat system and the largest, most detailed game world ever seen. Phew.

The lowdown:
Although previous Elder Scrolls games have enjoyed something of a like it or loathe it reputation, this latest sequel has the means to appeal to everyone thanks to one simple improvement: its incredible new graphics. Unlike many role-playing games it is viewed from a first person perspective, with a game world portrayed in a staggering amount of detail, and realistic psychics and characters that genuinely seem to be going on about their own separate lives. The game’s real appeal though lies in the huge freedom: play it exactly how you want.

Most exciting moment:
Using the new combat engine to fight off dozens of enemies, then stealing one of their mounts and riding off into the sunset.

Since you ask:
Emperor Uriel Septim VII is voiced by Star Trek and X-Men luminary Patrick Stewart, but all the characters in the game have full spoken voiceovers instead of just onscreen text. This is the next generation, you know.

The bottom line:
One of the most realistic and accessible role-playing games ever made.
Harrison Dent

- Not nearly as good as Morrowind
I was very excited about the release of this game as I absolutely adored the predecessors, Daggerfall and Morrowind (never played Arena), and the first time I played it, it seemed to be living up to the hype.

Unfortunately, it became increasingly clear that the game had been hugely dumbed down, what with most of the quests being dull, DULL. I say that because the quest holds your hand the entire way through and shows you exactly where to go and what to do, and it gets so boring after a dozen of these. That's not even mentioning the main storyline...

Which involves lots and lots of doing the same tedious thing.

The graphics are wonderful, the design of cities and countryside is very nice, and there are ... Read More:

- Decent, but not great
TESV: Oblivion as a lot of good points. Good graphics, a huge world to explore, many enemies and weapons, tons of quests and huge mod community.

However, Oblivion has some issues. The terrain is very generic. You see a lot of the same type of landscape, and there isn't much that stands out, except the occasional town and dungeon. The dungeons are also quite generic, the same old cave, fortress, mine and ruin textures over and over again.

Most of the quests are quite linear as in you can't affect their outcome too much. You might get a few choices here and there, but in the end there just doesn't seem to be enough consequences for making choices.

You can see the same with the levelling system, where you ... Read More:

- Brilliant, World of Warcraft look a like.
This game works so well on, AMD athlon 64 3200 2.2ghz. 2gig ram, X1850 pro (overclocked), xp sp2. No lag really smooth game play.\
Ok one thing its quite boring after a while.
Still highly recommenced you visit [] to make sure it will work on your computer.
Highly recommended rpg game which is good for anyone who likes wow.

- A review for the older gamer!

I am what might be described as a more 'mature' gamer. I'm also female. Now, I don't want to be accused of being ageist or sexist BUT I wanted to write a review specifically for the older person who might pass over this game because they think that it's all about fighting, war, death, destruction etc.

Well, not the way I play it, it isn't...

This is a brilliant, immersive game that has kept me happily engrossed for eighteen months - and I haven't finished it yet! (Well I never said I was a 'hardened' gamer...!!)
The graphics are absolutely brilliant if you have a PC with a good graphics card: if you have a slower PC, then you'll need to tweak with the in-game settings to ensure it doesn't stutter. Even then, ... Read More:

- A must get RPG

This is one of my favorite games and i have played it many times over. So why four stars and not five. Basicly this game is very good but if you look closly at it, it is acctually quite simple, simpler than it predesecor Morrowind which is another must get RPG.
Get this and you wont be dissapointed, but dont excpect a extremily coplexed game that has no fault.

Also MAKE SURE you have the right specs (i had to have my computer updated to get it to run)!
