     > The Elder Scrolls series have been long running for well over 6 years when the second installment, Daggerfall, was released on the PC, which was one of the best examples of love-it-or-hate-it games. Some players over looked the few flaws in the game and found it to be one of the best RPGs to date. It looks like Bethesda won't let us down with the third installment coming to the PC and Microsoft Xbox this summer.

     > Morrowind is more like an online RPG with no real specific quest to get done right away, instead you can go explore the towns or hit the roads in any direction, and see where they take you. With over 3,000 NPCs, more than 300 dungeons, more than 500 basic spells, and more than 200 types of creatures, there are many things to do and people to meet. The NPCs are very unique with with their own faces, personalities, affiliations, and dialogue. Although there is no voice acting, there is said to be thousands 
of pages of dialogue. This game is shaping up to be a great RPG on the Xbox, with lush, detailed environments and vivid towns. I can't wait for this game.

     > Morrowind is an open-ended, non-linear role-playing game that is sure to attract attention among Xbox RPG fans. The two prequels won countless awards for being great RPGs on the PC.  Therefore, I have high hopes for the third installment of the series.

First Impression
     > It looks like Bethesda has done it again with The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind for the Xbox and PC. So far there has yet to be a real good RPG on the Xbox (actually, I can't think of any RPGs -- LMAO), but I think this game could be the first great RPG for it. With many great previews and comments, I'll definitely be getting this game. I can't wait.
Potential
Overall: 8+
