      tsartomato Minecraft is smaller than Morrowind when you look at how much stuff you can do. morrowind has way more quests, items, freedom, and stuff to explore, whereas Minecraft has a boring combat system, around 5ish weapons, 8 different types of enemies, and ugly terrain. I would recommend morrowind any day compared to the game only defended by fanboys.

    it's so weird but Morrowwind had my favorite mechanic in all the ElderScrolls it's so subtle but I used to love it that is I sold a shopkeeper some gear better than what he was wearing he would should to equip it rather than sell it. I have no idea why I find it so enjoyable

    Still the best Elder Scrolls game, and one of the greatest RPGs ever made. This is Bethesda in their prime. After this, they focused on appealing to a broader audience and started simplifying their games.

      Which is funny considering Morrowind is itself a simplification of past elder scroll games, but it replaced the lost depth with more detail. I think it found the best balance.

    I remember the upstairs kid coming down to the hangout spot for me and my friends. We were into JRPGs. I think we’re playing either Dark Cloud or Final Fantasy XI. He wanted us to try the game and we never gave it a chance and essentially ignored him. Poor kid.

  • @TheRamblingRamReviews
    @TheRamblingRamReviews 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Morrowind is extremely rough around the edges but it was the first game I ever played that blew my mind. I remember as a 13 year old, dragging my TV and my Xbox down to my step-brother's room so we could both play beside one another. We'd play for hours, exploring different parts of the map and sharing information on where to find pieces of daedric armour, etc. The last time I had an experience like that with an RPG was Fallout 3... Sadly, I think RPGs have lost their sense of awe and mystery with me.
    Anyway, sweet review dude! Brings back a lot of positive memories for me, haha.

    • @SuperDerek

    • @TheRamblingRamReviews
      @TheRamblingRamReviews 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Rosa Rodriguez I've played all of those games beside Dragon Age which just doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. Of course the Souls games are some of my favourite games of all time and I should've mentioned those but they're not as much about exploration and interaction. They impress me in an entirely different way. Understand, back when this game came out, I'd NEVER seen anything like it. Nowadays you can't swing a dead cat without hitting an open world RPG and they're just not as impressive to me anymore. That's not to say they're awful or anything, just not as awesome as they once were. I may make a video on this topic soon because it's interesting but complicated to get into here.

  • @JohnAGalvanArt
    @JohnAGalvanArt 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great review, I really love Morrowind, no matter what version you play, it's packed with so much content. I actually purchased the PC version awhile back and I'm blown away how different the experience is with the overhaul mod.

  • @MrGamingPigeon
    @MrGamingPigeon 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Definetly worth getting it and playing it on xbox ONE they have improved alot visually and load times are quicker, less bugs and also you get the game of the year edition when you download it even if you only have the standard xbox original game disc. Couldn't play it on xbox original or even 360 backwards compat, but the newer cleaner version for xbox one is awesome if you can't play it on pc.

    Great review to a classic.
    I remember I played this when it first came out in 2002. I was absolutely enchanted by the world Bethesda had created. I grew up on Nintendo a little bit of Sony, so when my cousin introduced me to this, it was nothing short of amazing.
    It was so intimidating, yet so immersive and intriguing. I've never been able to capture that feeling with a game again, since.

  • @chozamestudios6601

    Pretty new to your channel (referred here by a few other channels I enjoy) and I have to say I really love your theme song! Morrowind is one of my favorite video games and I still go back and play it from time to time on PC, though I did originally play the xbox version. One of the best examples of a tried and true formula (classical fantasy rpg) being taken and put in a wonderfully alien setting. Walking through towering mushroom forests, being awed by seeing Vivec City for the first time before inevitably getting lost inside it, and braving the Mars-like hellscape of the red mountain all remain visceral memories, and that doesn't even touch on all the awesome random memories I have of doing stupid or hilarious things myself while playing the game. Cliff Racers can all go die in a fire though.

    @appleipodtouch2g 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    This game is still very good, and the lack of quality of life changes doesnt really bring this one down too much. Still very playable, and it seems to be the only Bethesda story that actually promotes you to slow down and side quest a little bit, instead of rush you on to the next main quest mission. I just played this game for my first time on the Xbox One X whenever it came to backwards compatibility and I already have fond memories with this game

    Wanted to get into this game but my character would just die during combat wit a rat. Oblivion was the where I was able to get into the Elders Scrolls series. Oblivion pretty much fixed everything I hated about the combat in Morrowwind. Then Skyrim took it to the next level. Would love if they would remastered this game.

I was about to ask if this is your first WRPG video because I'm new to your channel(watched BoF III-V, both Persona 2s, Lunar 2, and Legend of Dragoon, like them all so far) but see it says so in the description. I saw that you have Dragon Force in one of them, that's a good one not many people talk about.

    Hey if I started out on skyrim and loved it do you think I'll be able to enjoy this game as well?

    • @SuperDerek
      @SuperDerek  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's hard to say, they're vastly different games. It probably depends on what you liked about Skyrim. If you liked Skyrim for it's battle and leveling system, and voice-acting, probably not. If you liked the lore, the large open world, and the sense of exploration, you'll probably dig Morrowind. Many people in the Elder Scrolls fandom consider Morrowind the best of the series. :)

    most of the more modern releases have simplified so much of the content, and that's not a bad thing but when I first played morrowind I was caught off guard by the amount of skills to chose, and what they all did. But after a few hours I loved it so much more than skyrim.

    What i really wanna know is about the Xbox port in particular. I already know the game is great but the real question for me is: Does the Xbox port provide a worthy version to experience the game for the first time? barring mods, does this port offer a nearly identical or at least "good enough" experience compared to vanilla PC?

    • @SuperDerek
      @SuperDerek  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'd say you can easily get a "good enough" experience. Morrowind for Xbox feels about as vanilla as you can get, including the aspect of running the game on hardware of the time, giving you a view of the game as it was originally released, complete with fog to help limit the viewable distance. Some aspects of the UI could have been updated better to suit a console experience, but it was serviceable. I recommend that you play on a very sharp TV using component cables, because details might be hard to discern otherwise.

    • @SuperDerek
      @SuperDerek  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Bionic Dragon Sure! Feel free to throw them out there. If I haven't heard of them I'll look 'em up! :)

    • @bionicdragon8059
      @bionicdragon8059 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      well for starters, any bioware RPG, mainly mass effect and dragon age because those are the ones i played most (i have only played a little bit of star wars: knights of the old republic) for the most part they are good games (except for mass effect 3s ending, EA ruined that) i prefer mass effect but thats just because i prefer science fiction in general. in this revew you said that JRPGs are mostly about groups and western RPGs are more about one person, but for bioware games they focuse a lot on your companions in the games witch is nice because the companions in there games are always so good, you might start out one of there games not likeing one of the companiens but as the game goes on and you learn more about them your opinion of them could change

    • @SuperDerek
      @SuperDerek  8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +unassumption the answer to that: Barely. I mean, it worked, but between bugs, load times, and draw distance problems, not even taking into account the poor GUI for a console, the game had a lot of problems that needed fixing. Plus the benefit of mods can't be overstated.

    BTW, don't buy the steam version for anyone who wants the PC version, it does not have the creation kit, hits hard to mod, and buggy as all hell. I recommend buying the GOG.com version.

    • @28Pluto
      @28Pluto 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Steam version has worked just fine since day one.
      1 - There is a free fix so that the CS works perfectly.
      2 - Move you Morrowind installation out of Program Files, and mods will work just fine. (Unless you're clueless on how to use mods because you don't read the ReadMe files)
      3 - "Buggy as hell" ... lol... That means nothing without context. Yes, the game has bugs, but nothing as bad as compared to Skyrim/Fallout.
      4 - Install the community made patches (MW Code Patch & MW Patch Project) to fix the glitches/bugs that do exist and the "buggy as hell" problem would be corrected. (unless *you* are just that bad at the game.)

  • @wiibrockster

    The Xbox Version of Morrowind wasn't so bad. Still i think The Elder Scrolls is better than most JRPG Franchise's.

    @SonofTiamat 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've tried playing this game twice, also on Xbox, and I just can't get into it. I tried, but the dice roll combat just kills it for me. I enjoyed Oblivion and Skyrim a lot more. I'm hoping the Skywind mod will be finished soon.

    • @SuperDerek
      @SuperDerek  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Son of Tiamat For what it's worth, the dice roll combat gets a lot better when you realize your fatigue plays a HUGE role in your hit chances. And so does weapon skill. If you give it another go, I'd recommend choosing a main weapon first, then building a character that has as many points in that stat as you can. Then life will be easier. :)

    • @tsartomato

  • @dekky3908
    @dekky3908 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    They might have fixed it for the GOTY edition, but I had the original Morrowind for the original Xbox, and it was so horribly broken I couldn't play it. Every time I would get a few hours into the game, my save file would become irrecoverably corrupted. After this happened 3 times I gave up, built up my gaming PC and bought Morrowind for PC, than I got into the wide world of Modding...

    • @SuperDerek
      @SuperDerek  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, I think that's a common theme among Bethesda games. Save File bloat kills the save file, which is caused by moving stuff around in-game. Sometimes they say you can fix it by waiting in-place for a few weeks, which causes things to respawn and thus decrease the save file size, but I didn't have a ton of luck with that.

  • @nintendokings

    Is the Xbox version still worth playing? I either pick it up on the Xbox or I skip right to Oblivion

    • @SuperDerek
      @SuperDerek  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'd say so, but what you see is what you get. if the visuals in the review are a deal breaker, then probably not. however, I'd say that is still worth experiencing on the Xbox, especially if the pc version is a non starter for you.

    • @nintendokings
      @nintendokings 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @SuperDerek
      @SuperDerek  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Tom Reimer Luckily I never encountered that problem in my playthrough. However, as you play the game longer, more things do get moved around, and the save file bloats up quite a bit, so load times do increase. I've heard that waiting in one spot for like, a week or two, will cause the issue to resolve itself.
