If Todd Howard's hyping of Oblivion, Fallout3, Fallout4, and Skyrim have taught me anything - the game will come nowhere to delivering anything promised - will be massively buggy - and I'll easily sink 100s of hours into the game not caring in the least bit and having a blast the entire time. Purchasing it again and again on every platform as the years pass. Though with gamepass I suppose I don't have to worry about purchasing it anymore.

While Morrowind was my entry into the series in 2002/2003 - I had never heard of it until my head chef at the time told me I needed to purchase it. His hype delivered. But I have no clue what the hype of Morrowind pre-release was like or what was promised vs delivered. But I imagine it was quite similar.

Only thing I remember pre Morrowind was advertising on graphics cards. My friends only knew about the game because I found the strategy guide at work (electronics boutique) before it came out and I wouldn't stop talking about it.

I don't think Todd Howard had his leather jacket at the time, so he wasn't all over the place with promises.

Honestly I haven't been following the development or marketing for this game, but I like Todd's games so I know I'll end up buying it.

Without actually remembering anything too well, I do believe marketing around Morrowind was mostly graphics related. It was Beth' switching to full on 3D and Morrowind was pretty advanced in that regard.

I mean, the screenshots in the magazins sold themselves to anyone with the mind for fantasy. Hell, it's still the most beautiful and alien world to come out of Bethesda to date.
