Are there any movies or cutscenes or something like it?
Say, like the one at the beginning of Daggerfall; I really liked it. And the ones ingame were nice to ( at least you got some reward for doing those giant and confusing dungeons).
It would have been nice to have some intro video for MW, too.
Is there at least a end scene?

*nod* There's a intro movie for when you create a new game, when you get to the midpoint of the main quest [this is the gen disc. forum, or I'd give details ;)], and when you finish the game. (Don't think I missed any, but I'm sure someone will speak up if I did :))

The intro movie you're referring to- is it the little one where you are "flying" over the Ashlands(?) and then some text is scrolling in the background, slowly becoming readible??
If yes, I am a little disappointed.
What is the quality of the other movies? ( No spoilers please, just how you liked it; and maybe the style of it)

Yup, that's the one; the picture quality of all of 'em is a bit lacking, I'll agree. On the whole though, they're more satisfying after you've gotten to a certain point in the game, where you know what the intro (for instance) is actually referring to. Morrowind's no Final Fantasy 7, and for that I'm very glad; that game had me ranting at the screen "Oh, puhlease, like I'd be stupid enough to do tha... what??? My character's actually doing that? Damnit...". The movie sequences in this are basically to provide a little narration, not to blow your mind with its special effects or make plot-critical choices for you.

Yeah, its pretty good (well, the intro and the middle bit, still havent finished the main quest yet). No Deus Ex intro for the "what the hell is that guy on..." days later "oh, wow, he's talking about [censored] and this must be about that bit I just did ten minutes ago where [censored]" or Thief: TDP for the "... cool ... mmm... cool..." thing, but its pretty good as they go, despite being annoyingly compressed.
