It's got some occasional crashes (not as bad since the patch), some really obvious loading stutters and graphical pop in and some weird bugs. However, despite that it's got so much more depth than almost any game, and the game stays enjoyable throughout its lifecycle with only very rare quiet moments. I've played it for some 160 hours or so and not quite completed it yet, but there are so many side missions that there's no great urge to finish the main and guild quests. The missions are varied and numerous and you're never forced to do something you don't want to do.
Would highly recommend this to anyone that's willing to put in the hours to play it. I'd discounted Morrowind on PC as I just didn't get why you couldn't win fights right at the start of the game (RPG, duh!) and wasn't really willing to put in the hours it obviously needed to play it through. I'll certainly consider it again now though.
Despite the occasional flaw, it's still worth 10/10 to me. It's rare for a modern game to keep me interested after more than 5 hours!
