So I should make clear that although I've been reviewing a variety of computer software and hardware since 1986, I've never betrayed my opinions on a product by printing something different at the behest of an editor or a software company. There are bound to be people who read the review and rating I've given Morrowind and say to themselves, Ah-ha, yet another toadying hack salivating before the boots of his master.
