I need some help regarding whether to get Morrowind or not.
I like what I'm hearing about the game. It looks great, the reviews are terrific, and I like the idea of living an alternate life in an open-ended ("non-linear") way. And I sure need a game or two to tide me over until the fall.
But here are my problems. First, I'm worried about how much time it will consume, in order to learn how to play the game, and learn how to do reasonably well at it (I don't mean how long it'll take to complete it, I mean the length of the learning curve). I never played an RPG before. Given the complexity of Morrowind, I assume I wouldn't be very good at it and would need a long time to get up to speed. I'm 40 years old and not a very quick study anyhow (my neurons are rusty). I have a job, a family, and only about an hour or so a night for gaming. So I'm concerned that Morrowind will ask more time of me than I can give.
I thought about renting it, to see if I liked it first. But I was told that was a bad idea, since you really don't get to experience Morrowind very well in five (or ten) days.
Advice, anyone?
