Yeah, you probably should edit that. Even if you're joking, you probably will get in trouble.

I bought the goty edition from gamestation for £2... thats not a typo.. £2!
anyway i'd probably wait for a sale, i can see why its regarded as a classic but i dont honestly think it stands up today.

Personally i'd spend my money on Vampire: The Masquerade

It's a great game if you can accept a few ingame concepts that were "fine" back at the time of the release (combat mainly or karma system).
However I strongly disagree that it's worth $20. $5 is reasonable, not 20. However that's entirely up to you.

Why not?, it's not like the game's too expensive to get now. It's a great game, if you can stomach the awful combat system.

If you're patient enough, you can wait for a sale, wich I guess will be a few days or weeks before Skyrim or until december, but if you play Skyrim before, I'll doubt you'll ever want to look back to the previous games, especially Morrowind.

I hated it when I played it on PC because of the combat. If you hated it for Xbox, I doubt the PC will make it any better.

Awhile back they had a sale on Steam, I got it at first on the PS3 (bad idea) so I got Morrowind and Oblivion GOTY editions both for 20 bucks. If you think it's possible that a sale will come, wait I say. I understand that you already have Oblivion on the PC.

No, if you didn't like it on the XBOX, aside from the controls it's basically the same.

Unless you're planning on modding it to hell, but honestly, why buy a game just to mod it?

Because mods are the reason the PC version of games will always be better then the console version? They add many, many hours of enjoyment and combined a worth far more then $20.

Ok, I've been convinced. I'll wait a day to see if I get lucky on Steam (probably not, but I can try) but sale or not, it'll be mine by the end of day tomorrow.

Edit: Does it count as my first 3-page thread if I'm the one who makes the third page?

The thing about Morrowind is that the gameplay is woefully outdated. Everything else is absolutely amazing. The game is unquestionably worth it, it's just harder to play now that most of its gameplay elements have been highly refined. Your quest list is cumbersome, there's no indication of anything on the map, the hit system is frustrating... it's all pretty good, but really old. But the story, atmosphere, and world are fantastic. I say go for it, and just push through the first bit of gameplay until fighting is actually possible, then it gets a lot better.

EDIT: Also, I've heard there are mods that make the battle system better and the graphics more highly-detailed. I played it on the Xbox, so I don't know, but you may want to check them out.

Pac Man and Super Mario Bros have outdated gameplay too. Doesnt have to be modern to be fun.

Buy it, and if there's something you don't like MOD IT!

Morrowind is outdated to who's standards? Sure there are streamlined RPGs with more handholding yes but this game

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_and_Dragons

Is still being released today with the only changes being more or less cosmetic.

Morrowind doesn't have a quest list, it has a journal. Sure you can sort your journal by quest but the vast majority of the time when your playing the game you explore more then you do any quests. The map shows major landmarks, and the hit system is rolled. It sounds like you've never played any other very popular RPGs from around the same time like Kotor which had a very similar system.
