dmarusz's Full Review: Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind for Windows
I'm running. I'm running. I'm running, again. Why am I running so much? Ah, that's right, to get to the next town. It seems like just yesterday that I came in to this kingdom as a prisoner on a boat. It seemed bleak like one of those first person action games played of yore. But then something happened.
People asked me questions, personal ones. By the end of the questions, it is as though I had chosen a new way of life and character, and these people helped me. I embarked out into a small town. I could find many jobs and things called quests which made me feel like role playing at its finest. Unfortunately, I found a quick end to this as every person that I talked to seemed to be saying the same things over and over again. It is as if they were all hypnotized by an evil programmer. There is no variety here.
And so I run, in an endless world where cities are large but far apart. It takes time such that boredom sets in, and I am its accomplice. Maybe the running would not be so bothering if I didn't get fatigued so often. When I fatigue, I can't fight the wild animals convincingly that set upon me. What makes it worse, is that if I go backwards to the last own tomorrow, I know that these beasts will attack again. I could swear that that I've killed them all, but it is as if the same exact beasts show up again and again. Magic!
The repetition would be my mind's undoing if it weren't for my guilds. I have joined many and can join many more. They give a nice diversion to my overall goal. They have helped me to progress as a person, seemingly letting me reach multiple levels with very nice balance.
And, this world is not too tough on me. My initial state did not leave me in disarray. I could find money easy, and did not feel like I had to steal like in my past lives. A real life, to be certain. My first enemies I could defeat with earnest effort and my last were challenging even though I have sharpened my skills much. I may die and have to start yet again, but no too often. There is no fear there.
The sounds I hear on a daily basis are pleasing to my ear. It is as if minstrels were following me playing a nice melody to delay unwinding thoughts. Even the beasts and magic makers seem to crackle my ear. I feel more alive in my experiences with them. It is not as if I am seeing them through a shadow box amidst a stiff play.
But still I run. This running has made focus on the bad that has happened since that boat landed. I am being constantly harassed. If not by these endless annoying beasts, then by guards who pursue me after a quest giver said for sure that he had smoothed it over. Perhaps it is a mistake, or more worrisome, a vile bug. Sometimes these bugs take over such that I am plunged out of what I am doing, forcing me out of consciousness. I then must reload my senses and try to start again in the same part. These plunges are unexplainable and seem to happen anywhere, at anytime. Odd...
My world is beautiful and diverse but objects closer in do not look right. Is my vision going? My arm looks as if it is no longer rounded but squared off. The abuses of prison must have done this to me. It seemed to happen as soon as I entered the ship. But wait, everyone else is boxy, too. Could we have all gone to the same prison? This is madness! It must be my vision.
My last regret is my daily living. I do menial tasks for menial reward. I enjoy a good adventure but small tasks seem beneath me and boring. Do I ask too much of my life? Is it possible the gods who make these lands are not capable of much more? I hear there are two more adventures after this one that I may partake. Perhaps they will offer more. Although, I hear that the bug that controls the guards will not be cured. Alas.
Time has passed and there is no adventure left. I have vanquished the evil one. Glory has set upon me, yet my life goes on. Why? It seems neat, but odd. Perhaps it is to finish some undone quest. However, I always thought my life would end shortly after finishing my main adventure. I'm sure this would be confusing to any other. They may be done, and yet not know it. For me this is true. And so, I run.
