what i want to know is, is this game worth buying for my PC?.
once i buy it i cant get rid of it, seeing as you cant return or sell used pc games.iv got a hard time getting money so spending 50 bucks on a game im not sure im gonna like isnt something i really dont wanna do unless there are enough people telling me its worth it.
iv been told by a few people that its a great game but iv also been told it isnt very fun.
im currently playing Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Game of the Year Edition on my xbox but its kinda boring and the graphics arent to great.

2 friends here at work bought it when it came out and loved it, I think. My advice to anyone wanting to buy and PC game they are not sure of, see if there is a playable demo or preview you can download from either the Publishers website or a place like Download.Com or Shareware.com...by CNET. Will give you a chance to see how it plays on your machine and if it holds your interest and wont cost you a dime.

I have it for PC and have enjoyed it immensely. I've played it for about 50 hours and still haven't touched the main story line. The game is massive and gorgeous. I would recommend it, but you may still want to look for that demo.

Good site! Has just about anything you could want for that game, except how to mod your car to be a rolling Elder Scrolls shrine. But I'm sure you could find someplace that will do it for you.

Problem is, I couldn't find a demo for Dragon. Did find the game for less than $10.00. If memory serves me correctly, there was never a demo released for IV.

I'm almost sure there is one. I may even have it on one of my CDs I get from Maximum PC. I'm looking now on other game related sites that might have it...but so far, they only have movie like trailers..

That's what I found, just movie trailers, patches, and mods.

Hmmmm...perplexing. All I can find are the 6 or 7 movies they produced. I guess maybe since it was released for the 360, they never made a playable demo for the PC (would make the 360 players left out I guess). I will search at home also to see if what I have is a playable demo, or a series of the movies.

thats good to hear. stealing in morrowind was always fun. i would have been dissapointed if i wouldnt have been able to.

~~~
all i found were mods and the like
couldnt find any demos for the life of me.
i went on youtube and found some videos. it looks alright. i think i'll buy it once i get the money.
