RPGDot has posted their review of Morrowind. Here is a bit of what they thought about the game:
"By being so traditional under the hood, while shining on the surface, Morrowind has advanced the genre in a way not even Baldur's Gate was able to do. All coming CRPG's will have to compete with Morrowind - and I doubt there will be a new King of the Hill soon."
