Morrowind would be a much better game if not for one major flaw. Graphics? No. Combat? No. Size of the world? No. Amount of things to do? No. Characters not having enough to say? No. Cliff racers. That's right, cliff races. The most annoying videogame monsters ever conceived. I would go as far as to say that someone who doesn't like Morrowind solely because of the cliff racers has a valid point. It's not that they're hard to beat, but they fly down from the sky and hit you. You'll just be walking along and BAM! one of the buggers comes down and hits you. And you know it's cliff racer because it'll squawk at you. And you'll likely be attacked by some monsters on the ground too, so they're hitting and the cliff racers are hitting you and you're running out of health because you forgot to buy some potions last time you were in town. Finally you defeat the monsters on the ground and divert your attention to the cliff racer. Well guess what? That one cliff racer is now FOUR cliff racers!! You have almost no health left so you start running away back in the direction of the nearest town but the cliff racers are faster than you so they keep hitting and you're running and trying to heal yourself with magic at the same time but you're not very skilled with magic so it only works half the time and then BANDITS!! So now you're being chased by four cliff racers and three bandits and you're running out of health and the last time you saved was a long ways back and you begin to wonder just why exactly you thought it was a good idea to go back to that God-forsaken island anyway.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
