Morrowind>Oblivion

Discuss, niggers.

I liked morrowind for it's depth in story. you really felt intertwined with the game itself. oblivian is okay, it just doesn't have that same feel to it though

Oblivion is a candy-coated tiny piece of Morrowind. People overlook the lack of quests, gameplay, and other options which Morrowind had and just focus on the graphics. Yes, Oblivion is a beautiful game, but I'd much rather play its less pretty, but more fun predecessor.

I mean, shit... $20 for the Morrowind GOTY Edition (which contains the original game and the two expansions) has 200+ hours of fun gameplay... That's some good bang for your buck.

Morrowind = gay.

At least back up your statements with more than spam and implications of your homophobia/closet homohsexuality. Oh, wait- you can't.

Morrowind = gay.
You = gay.

Backed up to perfection.

What a comeback.

I award you 15 internets and a shiny Charizard pokémon card.

Oblivion is so realistic. The way that they dumbed down all the blade classes into one, turning dagger experience into claymore experience is just like real life.

oh wait

I don't like the fact 2/3 of Morrowind is "asslands" (ashlands) which look butt ugly, and that "faggy" (foggy) weather it chooses over and over. And I'm in love with Oblivion's exuberant forests. And you can't say the gameplay got worse in Oblivion: you have more stuff to do than ever, and Radiant AI, even if 1/10th of what it was hyped to and faked in that vid, is still an order of magnitude better than Morrowind's. Yet now I miss Morrowind's environment and feeling (outside the asslands, and when not faggy, which could be fixed in the editor). I loved the overall feeling of Morrowind, the mystical side to it; the tense atmosphere, where two guys at the opposite side of an U-shaped table can start a fight anytime. The stab-or-be-stabbed mentality, that's what's great about this place. Women and children should screw off and stay home. Anyways, I was about to start eating, and then the bastard beside me goes "extra-large, with extra sauce." Who in the world orders extra sauce nowadays, you moron? I want to ask him, "do you REALLY want to eat it with extra sauce?" I want to interrogate him. I want to interrogate him for roughly an hour. Are you sure you don't just want to try saying "extra sauce"? Coming from a Yoshinoya veteran such as myself, the latest trend among us vets is this, extra green onion. That's right, extra green onion. This is the vet's way of eating. Extra green onion means more green onion than sauce. But on the other hand the price is a tad higher. This is the key. And then, it's delicious. This is unbeatable. However, if you order this then there is danger that you'll be marked by the employees from next time on; it's a double-edged sword. I can't recommend it to amateurs. What this all really means, though, is that you, should just stick with today's special.

Morrowind
Thumbs down
Oblivion
Thumbs up

"you have more stuff to do than ever..."

Are you kidding? Morrowind plus the Bloodmoon and Tribunal expansions are 200+ hours of gameplay. Can't say the same for Oblivion.

Morrowind, I tried playing that on my Xbox (got a modded copy off the net of the "GOTY" version with extras and stuff). I played it for a few hours, but was turned off by the dated graphics. I bet if I would've played it years ago when it was hot shit I bet I would've loved it! Or even if I played to play the PC version today modded with these modded high-res textures and stuff that i've briefly heard about.

Oblivion, seen it, looks fucking beautiful. I want to play it so bad. Alas, I have neither a power-gaming PC nor an Xbox 360 :(

Fails for playing TES on Xbox... Any of today's PCs will run Morrowind blazingly fast, and you'll be able to use the vast texture improvements (up to 16× the texture quality of the original, replacing most textures in the game) and model improvements (like better bodies - round, seamless bodies and NPC replacement faces - which stand up to current generation NPCs), and that's just to name the very basic.

"Are you kidding? Morrowind plus the Bloodmoon and Tribunal expansions are 200+ hours of gameplay. Can't say the same for Oblivion."

dont tell that to TES nerds on the TES forums who a few months ago played it more than 200+ hours and didnt even touch the main story.

the normal user should never have to get his hands dirty about GFX other than the Options menu.

good points about Oblivion:
1. everyone has voices.
2. graphics (i have both a amd64 3800+ 1core, 1gb of ddr3200, and 256mb 7600gt oc'd. soon replacing my 3800 with a 4600+ X2 and adding another GB of ram) i also have a xbox360 (only 3 games two of which i bought)
3. combat
4. GUI
5. easy to level up and stats are organized (im pretty sure you can apply or adapt the same from a dagger to a claymore. the biggest difference is weight, which is reflected when you attack. ie. attack SLOWER)

good things about morrowind:
1. story
2. ...
3. ...
4. ...
5. im pretty sure thats it.

But I don't give three bits a damn about the normal iPod buying, Internet Explorer using, system tray icon collecting luser. I was posting on what did I like of Morrowind and Oblivion; "I" as in "this anonymous".
