upcoming sequel to morrowind, oblivion

Well I love dialogue and sub plots, and I never skip through unless I've already played the game to the point I've memorized it (KOTOR).
So do you think I should wait for this, or pick up the current one? I just had my birthday, so I have a good amount of money...

If you don't have the current one then you should get it because 1)It's cheap now 2)Oblivion is not coming out for years. Plus there are so many expansions for Morrowind it really opens up the game. I found it a little depressing though. That's just me though most people don't.

Someone said that Morrowind was a MMORG (massively multi-player online roleplaying game?) without other players. It may be a good description, although that also makes it sound like Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark.

Well I've never played a MMPRG, so I won't know what I'm missing.
Today, I'll pick it up for Xbox. Just one more question: how customizable is your character? Do you have to be a human warrior, or can you choose other stuff? Thanks for your feedback, guys.

There are something like 10+ races. You can be imperial(human), khajit(leopard creature), breton(human magician), 3 more kinds of elves, orcs, and some other ones. They all have their own strengths and wekanesses, and you also have other attributes like profession(ex. thief) and the star they are born under.

Have you ever played Neverwinter Nights? I think it is somewhat similar. I just bought the game but have yet to play it.

steppe, you can't grab it for PC? with all the mods, it'd be a better investment.

Your character is very customizable. You can choose gender (Women are more agile and men are stronger) your face your race and you caneven make your own class and name it.
Races;
Argonian (lizard men) - This can make good magic using characters. There race power is that they can breathe under water. Also can't wear any kind of boots or shoes and can only wear open faced helms.

Khajit (cat people) -Have a 100% night eye race power. They are very biased towards theif characters. Like Argonians they can't wear any kind of shoes/boots or any kind of helmets.

Altmer (high elves) -Very good for straight mage characters but have severe weakness to any kind of elemental magic. I don't remember their race power.

Dunmer (dark elves) -Good for warrior classes. Their race power is to summon and ancetoral spirit to fight with them, a ghost basically.

Bosmer (wood elves) -Best for thief classes. I've never used one so I remember not their race power.

Orc (the 3rd beast men class) -Makes an uber warrior. Race power is berserker rage, that buffs up your melee attacks and defense.

Imperial (human) -Essentially neutral as far as a class bias goes. Their race power is voice of the emperor, which makes shop keepers give you better deals.

Redguard (human) -Good for theif characters. Don't know their race power.

Breton (human) -These guys are the mage men race. Not sure about their race power either.

Nords (human) -Good for warrior classes. I don't remember their race power but I do know that they are immune to shock and frost magic.

I've gotta go find out the race powers of all the races know. It's gonna bug me all week if I don't.
