When did Morrowind become a classic? O.o Anyway, I have Morrowind and the expansions (Tribunal/Bloodmoon) for the PC. I played it for a little while, got bored, stopped playing it. A couple years later, I came back, downloaded every mod I could that looked fun, and played it again. The game itself is crap. Utter crap. The story is boring, the characters shallow, the plot is uninteresting, and outside of just exploring and messing around there is almost nothing worthwhile in Morrowind. Also, Learn-By-Doing is the single worst alternative system ever created in the history of video games. I don't want to spend 5 hours hopping up and down to be able to soar through the air. That's not fun. That's not interesting. That's tedium. The most fun I had was just experimenting with mods and the first time I saw that giant Statue Of Liberty-esqe thing on the coast (Ashura/Asura monument I think it was called). The mods are the only reason I ever bothered to even finish it. That's the thing that made Oblivion crappy too. They kept many of the worst elements of Morrowind, made minor improvements, updated the graphics, and called it a new game. I didn't even want to play Oblivion after it first came out because (like Morrowind) it's mostly garbage without mods. Bethesda gets a heck of a lot more credit than they deserve for Elder Scrolls games (especially Morrowind) because stupid people enjoy jumping up and down for 5 hours straight while wandering through the drab environments fighting the same 3 enemies over and over. /rant |
Really? I didn't particularly enjoy Oblivion but I spent so many hours on Morrowind - it was quite simply the best fantasy world I have ever found in a game. In my opinion the characters were mildly interesting but the world was extremely well designed - the actual plot was average but the rest of the game was just so fun to run around and explore.
Oblivions main problem was its bland uninteresting world (Morrowind had such an interesting landscape in comparison) and its ridiculous level scaling.
