I've played both, but I have the original version for PC and my roommate has the Game of the year version for xbox so I'm not sure whether some of the differences are from the two expansions or from the different systems. I do know however that the use of the controller, is easier to use except for the lack of quickslots you have with a keyboard. Then again, lack of a construction set is a HUGE loss in my opinion for Xbox users. It lets you tweak things however you want for your game and that definately is useful.

PC = mods

Therefore, PC > Xbox.

Indeed.. you are really losing out at not being able to take advantage of the infinitely varied mods out there.
Also, in addition to being able to play with the construction set, it is really helpful to be able fix a situation if you mess up (very easy to do in Morrowind). For example, while on an Imperial Cult quest I realised I had already cleaned out a smuggler's cave in which I was supposed to retrieve an amulet. When I went back for the Cult, it was, of course, not there... The console allowed me to import the amulet and therefore complete the quest. :cool:

A friend of mine tells me that the Xbox game controller is more fun, and easier, to use, but apart from that I don't think there are any real advantages to the X-box version. Of course those who do play MW on console may well differ ;)

pc?

i love the goty game on my xbox, but after beating almost every mission on the map - what could i do? if you want to play more, you have to start over

being able to download mods and extras would be great, so i believe the pc would be better :D

however, playing on the xbox seems more realistic bc if you make any mistakes, you have to deal with it - just like real life

for example:
i killed the thief lady living above the orc blacksmith (caldera), and it got around morrowind. every slave said they were sad :( bc they heard she was dead AND no one in the thieves guild would do business with me :mad:
