i have a feeling its one of those titles that received much hype but
in the end did not deliver
I wouldn't say that was true, at least not from playing it on the PC. Sure, the game isn't by any means perfect, and some people find the initial quests a little lengthy and tedious - gathering plants etc However, I think that it was definitely one of the better games of last year, and one of the few commercial RPGs released in 2002, that I keep coming back to. It's a beautiful game and it is so easy to lose yourself in it for an afternoon or several...I lost a few weeks of last summer to it, and still didn't get amazingly far in the game. For me, it is one of those games that lasts for ages, because there is no rush to complete it - it's fairly slow paced, and is ideal for people that like to wander around and explore.
Neverwinter Nights has been mentioned here, and I have to say that fits the bill of "over hyped and didn't deliver" far better than Morrowind.
Basically, if you're after a game with instant gratification and amazing action - don't get Morrowind. If you want a challenging and immersive journey through a massive world - do get it.
