What would I do without this book? [Posted on 2005-09-19]
This book has everything you would need to complete the game. It has the main story missions, all faction missions, and side quests, detailed maps of the whole world and even a section that tells you each and every little secret, like weapons hidden in bushes that you would probably never find otherwise. Anyway, if you have the game, and I'm assuming you do if you are reading this review, and are stuck and don't know what to do...buy this book. It's a little pricey but it is also twice as thick as other game guides which makes up for it.

Happy Hunting!!!

A guide to match the game...in both good and bad respects. [Posted on 2007-06-19]
When I first heard of a strategy guide for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, I admit it: I was skeptical. How can a game with over three hundred side quests and thousands of possible permutations ever hope to be condensed into a strategy guide?

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Morrowind guide was much more helpful than I thought it'd be. Once you figure out what region you're in (for me, the hardest part; one gray, stony, Cliff Racer-laden mountain range looks much like another), it's a simple matter of flipping through to that region, pinpointing your location, and going from there. Quests are laid out in an amusing fashion, with a sense of humor sadly lacking in the game itself. Let's face it: as much fun as Morrowind is, the backstory and dialogue unfortunately tend to read like high school history class.

There are problems and omissions, unfortunately. The lack of a comprehensive list of spells or schools of magic can be frustrating, and the black and white illustrations make it hard to make out one person or place from another. (Tongue-twisting names like Asharnabibi, Zaintairis, or my personal favorite, Addadshashanammu, don't help either.) Still, it serves as a good guideline for where to go and what to do in a game where the "objective" part is pretty darn sketchy.

All in all, 3.5 out of 5 stars. A good investment if you're REALLY lost.

The Bible of Strategy Guides [Posted on 2007-12-07]
Simply put, this strategy guide is the king of all strategy guides. The maps and pictures are top-notch, and each quest, no matter how large or small, is touched upon in this book. With the injection of insightful humor by the author, this guide is a must read even if you aren't playing Morrowind. An appendix for spells would have been very nice, but considering the size of this book I can understand why it was not included.

If you have played or want to play The Elder Scrolls: The Morrowind Prophecies Game of the Year Edition, you simply MUST purchase this strategy guide. If for no other reason, get it for some nice reading by the fire on a cold winter's night. You will not be disappointed.

Overall = Superb

All in all a substandard guide. [Posted on 2008-03-24]
The structure of the book is lacking, the layout is lacking, the arrangement is lacking. There is a fair amount of information but finding it is a real pain in the keister. I think the maps could've been done better. The whole book was not well thought out or planned and it shows. On the positive side of things, Peter Olafson and Bethesda did an outstanding job, comparatively, on the Oblivion guidebook.
