I gave up playing Morrowind today. My chief complaint is the PAINFUL dialog system.
I was introduced to the Elder Scrolls games by Oblivion. I liked that game, but the compass made quests TOO simple. By reading the Oblivion forum I learned of Morrowind.
I picked up the Morrowind GOTY edition and began playing. The lack of a compass brought me joy. The dialog brought me endless frustration.
I got tired of reading every NPCs possible dialog options to perhaps just maybe learn a new tidbit about something that could help me out. And the options were pages and pages long!
Call me weak. Call me a hater. Take away my RPG cool points. I don't care. The Elder Scrolls team did a great job improving the dialog (among other things) when they built Oblivion.
That's all I've got to say about that.
