Eh. It certainly looks pretty, but I just couldn't get into Morrowind. Particularly the battle system. Since most of the previews I've read have said it pretty much plays just like Morrowind did... not really too tempting to me.
Actually, the combat system is overhauled. You can cast spells as well as melee/range attack at the same time, without swapping. So say you're swinging a sword and defending with a shield, you can sling a spell anytime you want or get the opportunity with the press of a button, rather than having to swap and disarm yourself.
Blocking is now manual(with shield or weapon, even hands). As well, the physics engine really shines when you're bashing someone around or using spells(the paralyze spell, combined with the Havoc physics engine, means when you use it on an enemy, they freeze mid-stride and actually fall over).
The Dev-blogs give alot of info on what new things are capable in-game, and to be honest, even if it had the exact same play mechanics as the original, the updated graphics and physics engine would be more than enough for me to pick it up.
