The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (Xbox, 2002)

I have played Morrowind for a long time and I still do. Those who love being able to do whatever they wish, this is the right game for it. No need to follow the main quest, no hurry to rush to the finish line. Morrowind allows you to take your time and do what suits you. For example, become a thief and pickpocket your way into riches and glory, or become a fighter and fight for the imperial cult and become famous and well known throughout Morrowind. But enough of the sweet talk. For those of you who have Morrowind, you must know that you can do whatever you wish or go wherever you please. But what you may not know is that you create your world. People interact differently with you by the way you stand in the world, this is why I love this game so much. Every game does have their downsides though. Morrowind did lack in getting to places quicker, and the fighting style is a little hard at first. The worst thing about Morrowind in my opinion is that the game did not move as quickly as I would have liked it to. Running from place to place takes a long time, and you spent a lot of your game play on just that. But don't get me wrong, it is not like you have nothing to do while running. You can explore mines, or kill roaming creatures. It is up to you. If you have beaten the game, you may notice that some things are a bit different, the most noticeable one is that people treat you differently. They respect you and are grateful for the things you have done. Though it may be a frustrating trip to beat the game, because in order to do that you must be good at fighting. This makes it hard for thieves who spent most of their time sneaking around places stealing things (which is why I cheated to get to the end :).). The mods for this game are great as well, find some good mods for this game and it will add loads of more hours to your game play. I personally enjoy the castles. If your thinking about buying Oblivion (the next elder scrolls game) I would recommend buying it as soon as possible, it fixed all the problems Morrowind had, and adds a great game. I give Morrowind a 9-10.
