From what I've seen of TES: Morrowind, it's going to be a beaut. It puts the other two Elder Scrolls to shame (which really isn't fair since they were cutting edge for their time as well). I'm a charter Tamrellian (played both Arena and Daggerfall several times through), and have been waiting for Morrowind for about 5 years now. Apparently a lot of the gamers feel the same way; it's the 2nd most hotly waited-for release next to NWN.
I've been surprised at the lackluster enthusiasm for Wizardry 8's release among gamers. I think most of the gaming community has about given up on its release, even though it is imminent. For the life of me, I can't imagine why Sir-Tech waited a decade to finish out the Wizardry series; it was their baby, their cash cow. Absolutely one of the stupidest moves ever seen . . . and one that cost them dearly, as most of Sir-Tech is no more (just the Canadian and Australian branches remain).
I'm not a D&D fan, so I steer clear of games using the D&D engine (too many cumbersome rules for my liking). So it's wait for Wiz 8 and Morrowind for me!
