Anyone got a recommendation for Morrowind? I know almost nothing about it, so I'm not sure exactly what to expect from it. I don't want spoilers or walkthroughs. I just want a rough run-down of what I can expect. Just what am I supposed to do, exactly? And what are some people's ideas for classes, etc.? Is there anything that someone finds particularly fun to play? Any really cool stuff to do? I played it for awhile, and I guess I got kinda far, but from the sound of it, I probably wasn't even 10% through it. I can't tell if that's a good thing, or not. On the one hand, it was more or less fun.
Oh, one last thing: is it worth it to get the expansions?
How to start to play Morrowind. Pick a race, answer the questionnaire and live with your choices. The game is not designed to handle uberbuilds very well, or in other words if you design the Perfect Char , the game will become way too easy after a certain point.
After that, pick a direction and start walking. I don't think the point of the game is really to do xyz quests, but rather just live in the world. Be sure to read the dozens of books you come across, even the ones with 50+ pages, as they give the world immense depth and history.
About the expansions, Tribunal is worth it's price already for the improved journal. As for the second one, haven't seen it yet, but it seems that ethesda has reall hit a gold vein with Morrowind as it seems to me they can't do no wrong. Also check out the vast modding community. The toolset that was shipped with the game is immensely powerful, and there a re literally hundreds of mods out there, and more often than not, they are pretty decent, unlike those in the NWN community.
