I really do not see too much different between Wiz 8 and Morrowind, besides the open plot line of Morrowind.

Both games have you running around doing errands and quests. Both have large gameplay areas... Both are 3d Rpg's... Both have clickfests for combat...

Granted, Wiz 8 has better spell effects, and NPC's that join your character in these quests, and Morrowind is a solo character with very limited NPC party interaction...

Back to the original question. If you enjoyed Wiz 8, you should enjoy Morrowind. Granted, there are a few gameplay problems, basically with fast leveling up, but with the mods and the constructuion set being available to the gaming community, this should and is already being taken care of by gamers creating mods that slow down the leveling scheme, and makes creatures a bit more stronger...

I finished Wiz 8 a couple of times, and it was the same each time (in linearity) and I believe Morrowind will have more added value to game play, due to the construction set and mod developement...

I have been playing crpg's for years now, and I find there is no need to compare last years hits to this years hits. Hell, look at the Diableo compared to Dungeon Seige compared to Throne of Darkness debate. Each has there own ups and downs, and debate over which is better that the other...

Bottom line, if you enjoy crpg's, Morrowind should appeal to you...
