    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?

    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.

    Exactly. The game came out like 9 years ago.

     It is a vastly better game on the PC anyway.

    Uuummmm do the random glitches you speak of make it unplayable? And how do you not have a PC that's capable of running the game. It came out a long time ago. The game can run on a real basic $100 PC.

    Morrowind with the expansions is only 1060mb if space is the issue. The regular game fits on one CD. Got an extra USB flash drive?

    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.

    If you're so bent on not getting the PC version, don't play the damn game.

    i can't say anything that hasn't been said before. if you have the choice, the PC version is something you should purchase. it's superior in performance and there's mods..

    It's OK on the 360, but it's not as fun.

    Don't bother playing it, period. The game has aged horribly. If you played Oblivion first, you probably won't like it.

    I mainly played it on the original Xbox, only randomly putting it in my 360 for about an hour. Didn't notice anything unusual.

    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. 
     
    The biggest danger is Morrowind sucking away all your school time.

    Any original Xbox game on the 360 runs horribly though.

    Dude playing it on a 360 is bad. Load times take forever, and it locks up constantly. Your PC can probably run this game.

    I played all the way through it on 360 with no bugs, glitches or longer loading times. Personally I think the more original setting makes it better than Oblivion.
