Morrowind on Xbox 360

Morrowind was just added to the Xbox 360 backward compatibility list, for
better or for worse. I spent some time playing it this weekend, just for
comparison's sake. The usual backward compatibility problems are present,
which means that the game plays slower and at a lower framerate than on
the original Xbox. Also, there are quite a few graphical glitches and a
couple of quests that look like they're broken just at first glance.

For anybody else who's played it this way, have you noticed any game
features that are noticably different? I observed the stilt striders
rocking and swaying, which I recall was a function that was removed from
the core game (but is easily activated via the console or with a custom
ESP file.) I'm pretty sure that the PC version has that turned off, but
I'm not sure what they elected to do on the Xbox. If this turns out to be
another bug, then I'm inclined to wonder if there's an issue with the way
the emulated code is handling those types of flags. Could make for some
interesting weather, or for massively unfair combat.

I say the only smart thing to do is play the game on the orig. Xbox...PS2 is
the only truly backwards copatable master! PS3, I hear, isn't do so hot in
that market, so...I say just play the games you have on the original console
they came from, that way there are no glitches.
