How do you have begun to play Morrowind?
To be honest, always heard about the game, since it's release...
I've simply found the game packed with a PC game magazine, Morrowind and Bloodmoon for a few money (less than the GOTY edition); however, my first thought was to put it on a shelf full of dust, since it didn't interest to me. "But what the hell is that videogame with all those grey monsters with so long hears (The Dark Elves...)? It's too strange!", i thought. Silly me!
Then i tried to surf the web, looking for informations. I found some mods.
The Love!!!
And you? How do you have begun to play Morrowind?

I was waiting for the Sims 2 and was bored. I wanted a game like Ultima Underworld 2 and asked the guy in EB games shop for a good dungeon RPG. He handed me Morrowind GOTY telling me there were dungeons in it. I was hesitant but took it anyway. I played and loved the graphics as I hadn't played anything other than the Sims in 7 years. I looked at the CS and was as confused as anything. Then put it on the shelf when bored. I pulled it out again later when I was bored and went online to find a walkthrough for a quest and found MODS! I haven't looked back since. ;D

I have forgotten who told me first about Morrowind, but I know that I tried it 3 1/2 years ago - and from then on I never stopped playing it. First I had the German version, Morrowind only. I played a Breton mage named Magicflame. And it was sooooo exciting! I was scared to death before entering any suspicious looking door - and that is one thing more that hasn't changed. ;D

I was always fascinated by 3D games. Since I started out with games like Adventure where you had text that could tell you where to go, a game that could actually let you see a mountain far away...and then walk up to it was amazing. I didn't have a PC when Daggerfall first came out (I had and still have my trusty Mac) so I couldn't play the game. When Morrowing came out, my computer wasn't good enough to play the game. I had a game ready for some day when I could play the game. When I bought a computer for my daughter, I played on her computer (while she wondered exactly who's computer it was) that had Intel Extreme Graphics. It was piss poor graphic capability but I was still enthralled by the game. Now I have a nicer computer (though it is now being cannibalized to build other rigs) but it is not the same anymore. The game is still good and the scenery is still nice but I don't get the thrill of just moving around the country that I did when I first saw it. I guess I have just become spoiled.

I don't get the thrill of just moving around the country that I did when I first saw it. I guess I have just become spoiled. I remember the first time i played the game, and i was really, really ignorant about its storyline: i absolutely didn't know what the devil "the mainquest" was!!! Also, i remember myself posting in an italian board asking about it: "The main quest? What, has Morrowind a main quest? What's that?"... Ah, good times! With my first character, i finally discovered what that devil of a main quest was, just after a while. That was amazing. Now that i know everything about Morrowind (or at least much...), yes, probably something has been spoiled, but... that's pretty normal for me. There are a lot of other things to discover in Vvardenfell, so i simply enjoy the storyline from a different point of view. However, i have to be a bit sad like Nostra1 as well, unfortunately: due to some game issues my first character has not completed the main plot at all, and it's a shame, because she really enjoyed run through all the guilds and quests and such, maybe a bit much of Red Aleanne, now. *picks the sad emoticon as well as Nostra1*

I was roaming in a computer related shop and ran into the MorrowinD box. Huh? Well, I've never heard of that one. Looks nice, but nothing special... And I was about to put it back in the display when my eyes caught the following words: I had bought years ago Daggerfall and remembered it as a game to buggy to be played, but as having nevertheless a great potential. Well, I said, I'll try that Morrowind. It can't be worse than Daggerfall. ;D From that day, I've no more real life.

Played the first two - Arena, Daggerfall...
Kept an eye out for Morrowind and snatched it up as soon as it came out.
Did the same for Oblivion, but wasn't as happy with it.

Got the german version of Morrowind in a game compilation which I bought because it also contained the flight sim IL-2 Sturmovik, I think. Must have been some 3 years ago. On a rainy Summer Sunday afternoon I installed Morrowind just out of boredom and I got captivated by the atmosphere of this game the very first moment. Wishing to know more about the game I started to browse the net and I got overwhelmed by the myriad of great PI´s, which, sadly mostly were for the EV. My next step was to order MW, TB and BM by mail shop and the next weeks saw me sleeping very few hours... My first characters were very short-lived till I found out which way of fighting I preferred. Since then I have been stayed true to Reynard, a slight, stealthy Breton whose best friend is a dwemer crossbow and who still stalks the islands of Morrowind in an old assassins armour which has been upgraded to the specs of a full glass kit. Sorry, I don´t like the looks of "the green green glass of home". As for Oblivion, I got it the week it hit the shops in Germany, but I put it aside, since I don´t really like the graphics of it. Morrowind feels crisp, Oblivion looks pretty blurred with my Radeon 9800. Greetings, Mewgull
