Morrowind: Game of the Year Edition Review

The depth of Morrowind's gameplay and overall design is matched by the audio-visual presentation. Hands down, Morrowind's soundtrack should be released on CD once you've heard the opening chords you'll be humming it for hours after first booting it up. And it's not just the music all the environmental effects have been nailed. (The whale song of the stilt striders is haunting!) Speech is sparse but with 2,000 NPCs [even more with the GOYTE] I can't fault Bethesda for the text presentation of the interactions. (Seemingly everyone has something to say or a possible quest to complete.) The action on-screen moves fluidly and the landscapes and landmarks are gorgeous.
