5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Tribunal, June 19, 2003

By	"darksidecommander" (PA) - See all my reviews

This game should have been the first expansion pack. It makes Tribunal look like a joke. True, the game is a little buggy, but not as much as Morrowind was when it first came out. A good gamer saves often. It has lots of new enemies, weapons and armor. You can even influence the growth of a large mining settlement while you watch it grow from the ground up, and get your own estate there.

Graphics: They haven't changed much, but the addition of snowfall is a nice. It isn't like the ash storms, the snow can be blizzard-like or it can be big slow falling flakes, which makes the scenery look great. Some of the Nordic armor looks very sharp also.

Sound: Well, no great changes here. I haven't noticed any bugs either.

Story: In this expansion pack you can work for the enemy for a while, or stay with the good guys. The story has a point where you are infected with the werewolf disease automatically (instead of trying to become a vampire in Vvardenfell by fighting them and getting lucky), then given a choice to either become a werewolf or become one of the "Skaal".

Being a werewolf is different than being a vampire because people will treat you normally as a human, but at night you turn into a werewolf and people will try to kill you wherever you go. After 6 hours you will become a human again. A nice twist to this "infection" is that if anyone sees you turning into a werewolf, you will be known by everyone as the beast and attacked whether you are in human form or not.

This expansion is a great buy for fans of Morrowind.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great expansion to Vvardenfell, June 23, 2003

By	"markusgnerlich" (West New York, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

I found this to be a lot more fun than the Tribunal expansion for Morrowind. You get a new continenent (smallish) to explore that's a refreshing change for the sometimes gloomy Vvardenfell -- there's snowy weather and a Nordic theme to everything. Also, there are tons of places to explore, some great new weapons and armor, and I felt the side quests were a lot more engaging than Tribunal's. You can play the Bloodmoon main quest parallel to the Nerevarine main quest or afterward since the plot lines are completely independent. Finally, I found the game to be more stable (the core version changes to 1.5.1629) than the patched version of original Morrowind, and if you are nevertheless having crash-to-desktop problems you should check some of the many Morrowind sites out there for some tweaks to the game that may help. Altogether a good buy and plenty of fun :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great expansion pack sequel to the awesome morrowind, June 16, 2003

By	Westley Merlin "Wester" (USA) - See all my reviews

I'll start this simple and short:

Bloodmoon is much better and open-ended than tribunal, you are able to freely explore a whole new island with new whether system and terrain with new characters, armor, weapons, items, etc. And you can become a wearwolf or join the defense as one. (I did get poor frame rates in outdoor areas tho) The Elder Scrolls 3 is now a complete game and whoever buys The Elder Scrolls III: G.O.T.Y for XBOX this september is going to love it, especially RPG lovers! I highly recommend this for morrowind fans!
