Morrowind Special Report @ RPGVault

RPGVault has put together a six-page article that they are calling a “Morrowind Special Report“, in which they cover many aspects of the game and include several quotes from Bethesda’s Todd Howard. An excerpt to follow:

For many players, combat will be a primary route to character advancement. Although it is possible to take a fairly non-violent approach overall, conflict does not seem completely avoidable. Those who choose to employ the melee approach will find an interesting system in which you use your mouse to control your weapon and the strength applied to each swing. “It was influenced by Jedi Knight and Thief, and the idea that different weapons did different damage depending on how you swing them,” Howard stated. “I think the weight of the weapons and how hard you have to swing them works well.”
