I read about this last night and decided to finally give Morrowind another shot. I’ve got about 6 hours of playtime and I really did enjoy it when I was playing it but I couldn’t get hooked for some reason. I downloaded OpenMW 0.50.0 last night and I’m doing a new playthrough, hoping I get hooked this time. I really want to get into this game more.

Ah, the old adage holds true: everytime Morrowind is mentioned, someone starts a fresh install.

I bounced off it several times until I watched an 8 hour video essay on it (not in one sitting, mind you). I finally completed the main quest on my next playthrough and really enjoyed it.

I love how this 8 hour long video is called "a quick retrospective", lol. Sure the gametime is ten times this at least, but it still made me smile.

I’ll give the video a watch (or part way through anyway) when I get off work today, maybe it’ll help. Thanks for the link.
