Morrowind Preview

Computer Games Online has gotten their hands on a beta version of Morrowind, giving them the opportunity to write a four-page preview based upon what they saw in the game. Here’s a taste:

While Daggerfall let you run through the streets shooting civilians rampantly, crime is very much discouraged in Morrowind. When you are caught doing something illegal, you are jailed for a length of time, and for every day you spend in jail, your random skill levels decrease (unless the randomly chosen skill is a thief skill they increase, with the rationale that going to jail and staring at a lock for a week would result in a skill improvement for thieves). So when you leave, you’re likely to be notified of missing skills like “You can no longer Cow Tip.”
