I really want to get this game and play it on the 360 because I don't have an original Xbox or a PC capable of playing it, but I heard some things about the game that made it sound rather unplayable on the 360. Anything from increased loading times on 360, random glitches, all sorts of badness. Hopefully someone can answer my question: Is Morrowind that bad on the 360?
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Game » consists of 13 releases. Released May 01, 2002
The third entry in Bethesda's series of expansive first-person role-playing games. Arriving on the island of Vvardenfell as a prisoner, the player character is caught up in an ancient prophecy, as well as a power struggle between factions, races, and gods incarnate.
Question for people that have played Morrowind on the Xbox 360
Your PC doesn't meet these requirements?
Recommended:
800 MHz or faster Intel Pentium III or AMD Athlon processor
256 MB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce2 GTS or ATI Radeon 7500 or faster video card.
Yeah it's horrible, don't do it.
But then again I thought the load times of the xbox version in general, so it might not actually be increased.
It is a vastly better game on the PC anyway." Your PC doesn't meet these requirements?

"increased loading times, random glitches, all sorts of badness."That just sounds regular-ass Morrowind to me. :D
The Xbox version is playable, but make sure to dispose of every corpse you find or else the game will crash and other nasty things like that. Also get the GOTY edition, but that's fairly self-explanatory.
I have the XBOX version. I remember turning it on, being asked to decide everything from race and gender to star sign and favorite food (with extremely vague and largely useless explanations for how any of said choices actually affected my abilities, of course). Then I walked off a boat and into a town, wondered if something was wrong with my eyes, and realized that the game was running at like 10 FPS.
I turned the game off and put the disc back in the case, where it's been sitting ever since.
Don't bother playing it, period. The game has aged horribly. If you played Oblivion first, you probably won't like it.
"Dude, I ran the game flawlessly on a laptop from 2004. Morrowind and all the expansions take up less than a gig of space, and I'm positive your laptop is light years beyond the one I played it on.I have a laptop that would probably run the game, but I'm using it for school in a few months and I don't want to use the space for morrowind"
The biggest danger is Morrowind sucking away all your school time.
Dude playing it on a 360 is bad. Load times take forever, and it locks up constantly. Your PC can probably run this game.
