Also, don’t expect the level of melodrama, with its sweeping romances and shocking betrayals, that one finds in the highly linear console style RPG’s.

There is a main quest in the game, but, like its predecessor and other massive RPGs like the Baldur's Gate series, Morrowind features a ton of side quests to do as well. The game is very hands-off. You may decide to stick with the main quest - which...read the complete The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind review at UnderGroundOnline

While Scott was walking aimlessly around E3 with big, dilated eyes and a cheesy little grin, I was left behind in a state of relative gaming boredom.

Props go to Bethesda Softworks for their hard work in creating The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, known to most as simply Morrowind.

Along with the graphics comes a host of sound effects and musical tracks. The music is prevalent through most of the game, and does as good a job at drawing the player into the world as the graphics do.
