I don't know if it was ever fixed but Morrowind shuts down without any warning randomly every 20 minutes or so. That alone made me stop playing +desolate barrens that cover 90% of the landscape with those fucking aerodactyls.

I think it advertised itself as a versatile RPG with a LOT to do and I guess its that to a certain extent, its just that its so fucking boring and the highlight of the game is stealing items from houses.

In Morrowind, you have to pay attention to the story to find your way. In Oblivion you can be Oblivious and just follow the magical red dot. I prefer that, since I've no interest in the Elder Scroll story.

yeah well this is the thing. morrowind is kind of impenetrable unless you want to invest a lot of time scouring through the annals of tamriel history. now i would be pretty happy to do this is these annals did not chronicle stale and generic fantasy, but i've got a surprise for you.

the surprise is that they do. they do do that.

yeah this too.

when i had morrowind originally, i was lost as hell. i remembered like the beginning you get off a boat or something then you're thrust into the world. in oblivion you're thrust in the world with OBJECTIVES.

in morrowind you're thrust into it fuck all. you pretty have to talk to everyone with these LONG BRANCHING trees of speech and learning a billion things. i didn't really ever find out my actual goal of the game (other than EXPLORE!!!!) before i quit playing it. now that i'm older i'll probably try it again some day, but when i played it first i was pretty young and uninterested!

they both suck dog, download daggerfall

though, i liked killing npcs and stealing their clothes(lol).

Oh yeah! The first thing I did with my weirdo gay fat elf, was wander into a bog after being released from the boat. Then I was attacked by some crab, and a wizard fell out of the sky. I thought, "this is odd." Then donned his outfit.
That was one of the continual drawing factors of Morrowind: Stealing peoples clothes, and sleeping in their beds. AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT. Sure, the magic was hard, the archery was nigh impossible, and the sword swinging had funtastic collysion detection--- but I got to murder people and wear womens clothing as my gay fat elf.
Then Oblivion came around, and there's like this godly omnipotency about the guards of the realm. Regardless where you are, in a house or dungeon... if you steal anything (even by mistake) good chance the guards will storm in and arrest you/beat the snot out of you. And you can't cross dress!

Both.

I thought Bethesda squashed this project.  I remember something called Morrowind Resurrection or something.

"You cant play trough the entire game, you can only visit the cities and see the land, there are no scripts, dialogs, etc."

Neither.

There will be later, Chainer. There is still monsters etc too.

i believe daggerfall had more gramps....

I prefer Morrowind, levitate spells don't exist in Oblivion.  The quests are better too (except for the Dark Brotherhood quests in Oblivion, those are just awesome).

Yeah I remember saving up SHITTONS of gold pieces in Morrowind so I could enchant my boots or something with a constant effect levitate spell.  It pretty much completely broke the game from that point on, but it was AWESOME.

And, yeah, the Dark Brotherhood quests in Oblivion were awesome because they were CREATIVE.  Like, they could have just been regular GO KILL THIS GUY THEN COME BACK quests but they changed them up and added twists.  The one in Bruma with the moose head or whatever was probably my favorite.  Felt like Hitman to me :P

My fave was the 'who-dunnit' in the mansion. I love that mission.
