From the artist point of view gothic II looks way more beautiful when it comes to sunrise or sunset. But anyway the graphics in Morrowind are nice. Except that all humanoids have the same slim figure with no difference.
I hated the fact that the world was so big. I started with the usual RPG player mistake: take every quest you can get. After a while i was so overloaded and bored i just concentrated on the main ones and left the half of the others unfinished. Hell i was happy when i made it through.
The orientation system sucks. The whole area is empty besides some monster and then suddenly an NPCs stands around in the wildernis. Alone. You usually get a Quest to take him/her somewhere and then the pain starts. You not only have to wait hours for that bugger. The direction the NPCs gave you is also mostly crap. You head where you think if will be and then start running around that spot in increasing circles the next half hour to find the spot somewhere completly else. I remember one side quest when after a long searching time a monsters attacked my companion. She was so behind i had to turn back but she was dead before i could reach her. And i was glad i didn't had to continue looking for the bloody questgoal!!! I didn't even think of reloading! That never happened ago in my time as Roleplayinggamer. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />
The learning by doing thing is also not very good. Almost everybody I know found himself jumping around all the time to boost the skills. Which is even more ridiculous when you do two jumps and hang in the air suddenly because Morrowind reloads constantly. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif" alt="" />
Without modding up the game you couldn't even sell the stuff you found because no merchant had enough money to buy an average magic sword. Fine!
Last thing, the cutscenes are terribly bad.
Sorry, I enjoyed the look of morrowind very much, but i had to force myself to finish it. Without the many design glitches the game cound be real fun. Too bad they made the same mistakes like in daggerfall. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif" alt="" />
