HOT shipping kills a good deal

 

[Rocktavio]

Yeah, you are right about the shipping...I guess you have to buy a few games to make it worth the money. Still, it is $10 cheaper than anywhere else...but when you throw in shipping that is only $5 dollars of savings. Nevertheless, $5 is $5. I have been wanting this game since it came out last year too. I should finally have a little free time to play it.

Please note that this game loads the same C-Dilla so called "spyware" that TurboTax loads, at least it did on the version I had. Probably won't cause your machine any harm but I thought I'd mention it.

If you're looking for a few other titles to throw in, the other games in on this sale are:

Master of Orion 3: $29.90
Commandos 2: Men of Courage $9.90
Blood Omen 2: for just $9.90

And I believe Master Of Orion 3 just came out.

If you even remotely like RPG's. GET THIS GAME.. it's got tons and tons of small to large mods it's not hard to learn how to play it's got an amazing amount of playability just the main quest is probably 125 hours or more definately the best RPG I've ever played.

BTW after having morrowind installed I have ran ad aware.. I don't recall it finding cdilla.

They still have Nero for $15.90 as well if you want more bang for your buck on the shipping cost.

FYI for those with Xbox and have not heard the news already. Morrowind will be added to the Platinum Hits collection and sold for ~$19.95.

Quote from this thread:

This is the same copyprotection scheme as the game Morrowwind Has. It slowed down the game so much there was a patch released disabling it. I haven't looked for one on the companies web site. I know for a fact though that the protection doesn't do them a bit of good. The product has already been hacked and is available for free. LOL

I found it when I was researching the Tubotax problem.

After reading this I checked my running processes and found "'CDAC11BA.EXE" running. I can not 100% verify that Morrowind installed it, I just highly suspect it. After trying to uninstall it I had serious system problems and had to reinstall windows from scratch after reformatting my hard drive - more than likely just a coincidence, but who knows.....

I run AdAware all the time and it never found the C-Dilla. Just check to make sure you don't have "'CDAC11BA.EXE" running and you're OK. Even if it is running it's probably no big deal, my system worked fine when I never knew it was there

I have the XBOX version and never really got into it. Maybe because I was playing with a controller. Anyone think the PC version would be more fun? I used to love the Ultima series and have not really played any RPGs since.

I found that out of the box the game was fun for me on PC.. but it didn't get truly incredible till i started downloading things like Rhedd's heads and better bodies "cleaner appearance" I really can't say if you'd like it more on Pc than Xbox.. I'm a pc gamer one of the reasons for that is the ability to make those modifications easily. Lots of armor and various quest mods etc.. quite excellent game.
However I think if you are a dedicated fan of games like Baldurs gate or D&D stuff you probably won't like this as much.

I have the PC version and rented the XBOX version for comparison. I have to say that I enjoy the PC version more. I just thought that inventory management, fighting, and of course the mods was much better on the PC.

The Platinum Hits is good news though for those that have an Xbox but don't have a powerful enough PC for Morrowind (man that thing is a resource hog).

I can't believe I'm actually going to agree with an auburn fan, but...

I have Morrowind (PC version) and I just couldn't get into it. It wasn't very fun to me.

I wish I had spent the money on something else.

 

[Cleaner]

BUMP for a great game at an awesome price!

It sure is I can't run it reliably on my GF4 4200 in my native 1280x1024 that my LCD requires It's really choppy with all the eye candy on (which I could run in 1024x768 no problem). However the scaling to 1024x768 pretty much wrecks the whole point of the eye candy for me

Oh well. Radeon 9700 here i come

Rooster, it's been well documented that the resolution doesn't seem to make much difference for most people, at least at the beginning, perhaps that's changed with recent patches or something. I get basically the same fps whether I'm running it at 1024x768 vs. 1600x1200, so I run it at the highest possible setting for the eye-candy, so you should run it at 1280x1024, I don't think it should make a difference in fps. To help increase the fps, I'd suggest changing the AI distance & shadow settings in your options, and downloading the fps optimizer mod, those had the greatest effect on my game. I can't remember what it's called (I'm sure a link can be found by doing a search in the official modding forums, as well as various Morrowind sites), but I think there are 2 versions, the original one and a newer one for the latest patch. Basically, IIRC you tell the program the minimum fps you want, and it changes the view distance accordingly and dynamically. What's especially nice is that the program actually gives you better viewing distance in some areas than you can get by changing the in-game settings to max (at least on my machine).

Personally, I'd much prefer the PC version vs. the X-Box version, due to the controls and the modding ability. I'm biased, though, because I'm a modder.

I have this game, it was fun for the first 50hours or so, then i got hitman 2, which made me lose interest in morrowind.

I wish that xbox would come out with a keyboard and mouse so that you can play the games with them. It would be more fun playing with it on my tv and still having the same controls as the comp version
