Summary
Great game, but incomplete
The Good
First things first. This game is truly a work of art, close to a masterpiece. When I started playing it, I was shocked by its complexity, starting with the character creation and finishing with the ending of the main quest itself. It's not like your common hack-n-slash RPG, that limits your actions by forcing you to do certain things in a certain order to progress.
Basically, you are a prisoner, an "outlander" that's been set free in the immense world of Morrowind, and is told to see a man in the town of Balmora. Now, you're on your own, and you can choose to fulfill your quest, or to start making a name for yourself, in your own way. Your actions will change the way the others look upon you. You can be a choose a life of crime, and people will be afraid of you, or you can choose to be a good guy, earning people's respect and admiration.
You can apply for membership in the various factions and guilds available, each with its bonuses.
The Bad
The game is somewhat incomplete, lacking basic needs such as eating, drinking, sleeping, bathing, etc. Also the dialogues, the NPCs' routines are rather lifeless. Not to mention that more than half of the map is a barren wasteland.
The Bottom Line
This game is a must-have for the RPG lovers, and despite all of its problems, it spawned a huge community of players and modders. All the problems can be fixed by using mods available freely on the internet.
Anyway, a great game by Bethesda Softworks.
