Now, during the Steam sales I bought a bunch of random games, one of them being Morrowind when it was on sale for £2-3 or so. Bargain I thought. A few days ago, I got round to installing it and going for the tutorial, but it really struck me as really, really dated.
Now, I usually love playing retro games. I bought Jade Empire and loved playing through that. I bought Half Life 1 last year and loved that game. I always often end up playing old PS1 games amongst others. But Morrorwind feels really dated. Bad graphics? Sure, no problem, expected. All conversations in text? Again, no problem. But the major gripe is this, the menu system and the tutorial are next to useless. Right click to open menus? What the? I'm simply told what the buttons are then told to go somewhere, somewhere I have no idea of it's location because the menu's are so damn awful? Oblivion's tutorial was great, I understood everything bar the hellish level up system by the time I left the sewers, but I really can't get into Morrowind.
Morrowind is obviously revered as a classic, and it must be. I've played Oblivion and loved that game, so I figured Morrowind would be fine for one playthrough, but once I got out of that office I felt no compulsion to really go anywhere. I was confused and simply baffled by how to operate the menus. I'd love to give Morrowind another go, so i'm just wondering if someone can give me some tips on getting into the game proper and actually having some fun with it.
