Personally, I prefer Skyrim in pretty much every aspect (especially combat). That said, Morrowind is still a very good game and is worth checking out, especially if you can get the Game of the Year edition for a low price. Ditto for Oblivion.

Thanks. I loved Skyrim. I do not want to replay it, but I need to play another TES game to settle my craving for them.

Stop worrying so much,
worrying is using your imagination to create things you don't want to.
But, how long is it? In terms of hours to complete everything.
It is impossible to measure, really. If you are to do it 100%, it would depend on how you move around the game world, how fast you complete quests, how you build the character to have quick combat and movement.
Completionism isn't that fun anyway. It's a lot better to complete the missions you want to, follow the paths you choose and complete what you find, instead of looking on a wiki to search everything there is to do

Yep that is the best way to play a game! Thanks for the opinion and help!

Much as I enjoyed Skyrim, I think Morrowind still remains my favorite game to date, mainly because its gameplay is more similar to that old-game style of minimal hand-holding and tutorials, and instead more focus on player intuition and perceptiveness. If you do decide to play Morrowind though, be warned: Morrowind's combat system is much worse then any of its predecessors', as it relies on dice rolls to determine whether you hit something or not. (Curse yooou dextrous mudcrab! Why U keep dodging my great big sword??)
As a side note, Oblivion had its share of fun moments too... Oh, how I miss punching some random Imperial Soldier in the face, Mario-jumping to some nearby cave with my Boots of Springhill Jack, yielding to him, then letting him take out all the monsters for me while I sit back and relax in the shadows. He'd even happily forgive me afterwards and walk away without attempting to charge me for my earlier assault.

How bad is the combat? Is it ALL chance? Or is there any skill involved from the player? Whats the point of leveling then?

Thanks to you and Nerfd!
There's definitely some skill involved... the combat still requires you to duck, dodge, flee, manveuver, and attack in real time. And spells (magic is much more powerful in this game, maybe even a little OP...) are guaranteed to hit. It's just the weapon combat where the chance can really be aggravating. So long as you specifically pick out your starting bonuses so that your weapon skill is over 30, you'll be able to land enough hits to sufficiently kill enemies and level your weapon skill to the point where you can hit enemies almost every time. Otherwise... you'll be swinging at cliffracers all day and never land a single hit. At that point, it's time to visit some trainers.

*Drool*...
heh heh. Ok. Umm, are there chances with bow hits? I hope not, I am an archer-esque character and that would be stupid.
Thanks.
That does not sound too bad, I still just cannot decide to buy it or not.

I'm afraid so. Still... so long as your is your archery skill is above 30, you should be fine. Just bring plenty of arrows.
You may want to try watching some LP's and/or guide videos for the game. They're a great way for getting a feel for the game without actually having to purchase it.

Alright. Thanks.
So basically, you can aim directly at a guy's head, and there is only a chance it will hit?

Hey, i know this is a really old topic, but you made the right decision to stay away from morrowind. With the spell and combat system in morrowind, the game is pretty much unplayable. The quests aren't that great either in morrowind. I've tried morrowind, and when you join the fighters guild, the first quest is to kill 2 rats in some guy's attic. (That's lame).
You should really try Oblivion. (Good graphics and good combat, and interactive characters like in skyrim)
storyline (no spoilers please)
size of map (which one is bigger)
quests (which are better)
Which of the main quest-lines are longer? In terms of hours.
I have already played Skyrim, but not Morrowind. I really want to though.
Thanks.

That is what I have heard. It seems to me, from what people have said, Morrowind's side quests are much more interesting.
Is the main quest-line long? I also heard that it does not give you many hints, which I prefer. That was my problem with Skyrim, too easy.
More inspiration to play!
Thanks.

Good way to put it.
Although, those two flavors, are perfect together! heh heh

Point blank or far away, in the head or in the knee... in Morrowind it doesn't make a difference.
Wow. Well, I'm going to have to reconcile with that.
My solution: build Morrowind in Minecraft! Mission acccepted!
