Watch Out for Fireballs!

Watch Out for Fireballs! is a game club podcast, focused on retro and non-current games. Every week, we play a game in its entirety, then discuss its merits and flaws at length. Most episodes begin with a short sketch, and we're pretty liberal about keeping tangents in. But it ultimately comes down to: Why do we like (or dislike?) this game.

Episode 89: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (Part 2)


Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross profess ambivalence about the guild quests in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.

Sure, the world is in danger... but there's rats to be slain. Also, corrupt and inept guild leaders to oust. Part 2 of our Morrowind series dives into the Fighters, Mages and Thieves guilds, along with the Morag Tong (Assassins). This is where the game falls down a little bit, and the "go here, kill thing, grab thing, return with thing" quest structure starts to wear thin.
