Nah. If I'm looking for actual hard core rpg gaming. I'll play something like the baldurs gate series or early falllouts. The elder scrolls is a more pulpy and fun franchise to me.
I'll be frank I don't think morrowind has aged well, especially the visuals and combat. but the wikipedia NPCS don't help it either.
I've played through it and was looking for the supposedly 'amazing writing' in the game the while time and then replied eventually that's as good as it was going to get, and that games like the Witcher 3 had surpassed morrowind a long time ago.
I didn't grow up with a nice enough computer to play morrowind (or an xbox) I grew up with the Snes, N64 and GameCube because nintendo consiles were cheap and family friendly. So I kind of missed that morrowind nostalgia train.
Eventually though, I got my first job at a local grocery store and paid for my own 360 and a copy of oblivion when I was 17 and that was fuckin amazing.
I did go back and try playing morrowind, but I just felt like it aged badly. It wasn't for me. I don't mind getting lost in a game, but vague directions and then getting lost and wandering past the same log that looks like a dog turd for hours is not my thing.
I do think it's a good game and every elder scrolls fan should give it a shot (I did play through it once, even got full daedric without console commands or murdering that tel Vanni wizard guy) but it's not the end all be all of rpgs like morrowind fanboys will claim. It just has not aged well.
That's just me, its not my thing. I prefer Todd's full vision games, rather than morrowind, which has the last vestiges of Julian lefays vision for the series in it.
I don't mind that anyone prefers morrowind, just gate keeping in any sense gets old. Especially over toy video games
