Glad I'm not the only one totaly psyched about this game! Thanks for butting these links together, I plan on reading them all a few days before launch to get myself goin xrazy for it.

Morrowind was simply awsome, and this one looks 10x better, and the visuals are amazing...

[Haoie]

Morrowind, I was totally amazed at the total open ended style. Still looks great for a game that's a few years old now.

[CreamSoda]

Hell yeah! This is the 360 selling point for me(Full Auto looks pretty sweet too, or whatever it's called). I loved Morrowind on Xbox and PC. A midevil RPG with enough open ended play and free roaming to make GTA jealous.

So a sequel with a bigger levels, insane graphics, and basicly more of everything??? I'M SOLD! :D :) 8-)

FFVII PWNS MORROWIND OMG SEPHIROTYTH 4 LYFE!!



I cant wait for this one. I played morrowind till my eyes bled and the little quirks in the gameplay took true creativity to exploit.

I remember wanting that right hand of the goddess dudes uber badass armor but he whupped my ass good so I statted up my spear ability and got up on this roof part he couldnt reach and shot a fireball at him. Hes all pissed trying to hit me but didnt have the reach while i speared the crap outta him for like an hour. YER ARMORS MINE PUNK!


I hope they have more transformation stuff too.

being a warewolf and hunted by the law was a fun game in itself seeing how much chaos you could cause.

When I found out that this was a 360 launch title I was ecstatic to say the least. It's gonna blow Morrowind away which is no small feat. Goodbye life....hello Elderscrolls yet again. Just in time for a long Canadian winter, too!!

[Humanoid]

Morrowind is definatley in my top ten games list. I missed meals/homework/sleep just to live as Jozan, the Nord Axeman.

God I'm pathetic.

Yeah this game has great exploits.

I like how you can kill off people in a house, and hopefuly get away with it and claim it as your own "home" so to say. I still laugh at how my friend murdered like 8 people in this huge house in a closet, took off all of their close, and kept them in there. It was hilarious, he would open the door and you would see tons of naked dead people on the floor.

Also people have been known to collect every pillow in the game and make their own house out of pillows, or even take individual pieces of gold and line their floors with it.

Truly a terrific game design.

I loved Morrowind, but it really got tiring fast. Oblivion looks like it's got a much better design and come on, Patrick Stewart is one of the voice actors. I mena how cool is that?

[Stark]

Is the PC version coming out at the same time as the 360 version? I am a huge fan of the Elder Scrolls series. ES: Arena was one of the first games that got me into the PC hobby and I've just bought a brand new computer so I'm all set.

Speaking of Morrowind and exploits, here is a speedrun of the main quest being completed in just 7 minutes and 30 seconds (http://speeddemosarchive.com/Morrowind.html#norm).
