Because there's more direct interaction with the game's world.
Most items can be picked up and placed into the player's inventory. While in other games you only take essential items which steps on player freedom and, thusly, immersion.
Little things like that can make them feel directly involved in the world.

wait a second. is this fucking oblivion screenshot trying to imitate gothic 2?

There's a lot of different versions of it

playing Morroblivion now because it was suprisingly easy to install and it's ridiculous how much more interesting the worldbuilding and everything is compared to the snoozefest that is Oblivion main game. it's such a crazy difference.
forts, caves and ayleid ruins were never any good in Oblivion but looking at the Morrowind conversion and the Shivering Isles add-on, it feels like an actually great game. I feel like Oblivion was a missed opportunity the more I play this conversion.

The term RPG is ambiguous - difficult to quantify.
A significant amount of people say:
>"An RPG must have choices with consequences in order to considered a RPG."
But, Skyrim does this and people don't consider it a RPG.

>The term RPG is ambiguous

it's not ambiguous or hazy at all. who told you that bullshit? An RPG is about controlling a character where you can level up Stats and Skills and where NPCs have the same system, different classes, different builds, different skills, strengths, weaknesses, elemental resistances and weaknesses and so on. There are fail checks on certain skills like Persuade for example and Lockpick and you could have everything based on dice rolling to determine the outcome of battles and negotiations if you wanted to. tying the RPG genre to dialogue windows with different outcomes is not as integral as stats, skills and classes which is the first and foremost important defining factor for RPGs.

the DB quest in Oblivion is mediocre at best and the whole killing spree of the Black Hand was a shit quest and really fucking cheap. The Skyrim DB questline is pretty much the only one that's somewhat narratively interesting and noteworthy and Cicero saved the game by being one of the few interesting characters anyway. But Oblivion DB fucking sucks. Can't remember Morag Tong questline in MW but I'm sure even that was more interesting than "kill this, kill that and then kill everyone".

It didn't feel like too much of a waste at the time as this is just a sudden realization I've had when I noticed that all the RPGs in the past decade have been merely "OK" at best. I've been swimming with utter mediocrity waiting for the next sublime thing to come along, and it never did, and doesn't seem like it ever will either.

To find games you like you must sift through games that you will potentially dislike. It's not like there is an actually reliable way of knowing whether you like the experience until you tried it.

>it was so unmemorable because it was "kill this, that, then everyone" but I'm sure it wasn't "kill this, that, then everyone"
face is morrowindfag, oblivion's was memorable and that's proven by the fact that you even rememeber it over morrowind's shitty questline.

that's only because the Morag Tong questline has no voice acting and I haven't done it as much and because most other MW quests were more interesting as far as I remember them and simply because I haven't played MW in about 7 years but Oblivion more frequently 3 years ago.
But yeah, keep forcing your perspective. it doesn't make your perspective more true all of a sudden.

>skyrim
>good ingame fast travel
you enter a fucking carriage for fucking 10 coins and instantly show up at the major city you want. lame.

hahaha

imagine-...imagine wasting your life like this

haha... ha...

it was in some ways. you had a fair bit of choice in the morrowind thieves guild, for example the quest where you have to get a key to that one dunmer's manor.
will you use force and simply kill the owner/servant and take the key from their body? (and get reprimanded by your guild superior)
will you use persuasion and bribery on the servant to convince him to give you the key?
will you knock out the owner/servant and take the key from their unconscious body?
will you pickpocket it from one of them?
if the servant gives you the key, will you tell the owner of the manor in an attempt to screw over the servant and perhaps swindle some extra gold from him?
when you get the key, will you check the locked rooms in the manor to see what the thieves guild wanted with the key in the first place?
maybe you're even a member of house redoran, and the manor owner is actually already dead due to his bad-mouthing of house redoran.

in my opinion, gameplay freedom/choice like this is more valuable than a tight narrative like you see in the oblivion questlines.

That's not Final Fantasy IX

At least it was a thing, you had the option to travel with in game transports, in Oblivion there is either fast travel or walking (or riding a horse)

I actually love Oblivion's leveling system because it instantly filters casuals.
I come from a background of warhammer and other games with stat systems that actually intermingle and intertwine instead of just lazy shit so the act of leveling up itself was a minigame to me.
Yes it is functionally terrible in execution (never use your main skills) but it is an amazing one at the same time.
The real complaint is once you know how it works the urge to absolutely min/max every level is there and you don't need to min/max.

It is amazing because it filters casuals and makes turboautists overthink everything into paralysis.

Stats mean nothing in that game anyway with custom spell making.

When judging a game mods should not be taken into consideration. They are not part of the creative vision that the game developers had when making a full price game.

Morrowind>skyrim>>>>>>>>>>>>>>feces with aids and cancer>>>>>>>>oblivion

Oblivion is better than the other games simply because it has so many more priceless moments than in Skyrim or Morrowind. I think without the Shivering Isles dlc it would be about equal, but that dlc really tipped it over as the winner in my opinion. I will never forget my reaction when I met the Gray Fox, someone I assumed didn't actually exist in the game but who I had heard so much about, and my reaction when I found out that I had just killed off all the members of the Dark Brotherhood by mistake, that was absolutely priceless, never saw it coming. And there were so many other moments like those in the game that I didn't experience in Skyrim, because every character is so forgettable and questlines are generic and dialogue is poor, and even in Morrowind because the voice acting in Oblivion made those moments so much more special

Is morrowind actually as good as people make it out to be? I wanna give it a shot but it's ugly as fuck and the combat is a god awful stain on humanity

It's a great game but to me it only really started kicking in towards the end of the main story when you start understanding the history.

You can download the huge graphics mod which vastly improves how the game looks, but I had to turn off most of the settings to get 30 FPS even on my godly pc. The main quest is better than the others. There is more depth because of the lack of voice acting, but I found that this also made it much less exciting

I was being 100% honest.
If that upsets you, grow up. People prefer different things. Any excuse not to let my brain go baseline is a net positive to me.
Enjoy the bright lights.

Yes but only if you can immerse yourself in its world and enjoy your time doing it. It is so good in that regard that all the mechanical problems become a background element.
You ever hear the "its not a game, its an experience" meme? Morrowind is that but before it was a meme.

It's good, better atmosphere than vanilla Oblivion and Skyrim, but it's blown out of proportion. If you feel the combat is bad install the mod that makes it so you always hit the enemy

It's good once you realize that your stamina is directly tied to your hit success rate.

What's wrong with something being easily digestible?

I don't pretend Oblivion is especially challenging in any respect, gameplay, writing, whatever - but its strength, for me at least, lies in how nice a game it is to spend time with. You could call it baby food vidya if you liked, but if that's the case then I'll happily munch away. There are plenty of other games that excel at other things besides being comfy and engrossing like Oblivion.

It looks like it is

Which difficulty were you playing on and how OP were you? He's "supposed" to be the toughest enemy in the game. iirc he can absorb health, paralyze you and reflect damage you deal to him among other things

Nothing's wrong with it necessarily, but if an entire game is built off of the same child-like writing style then it's not going to be engaging for people that want more out of the writing. Sure, some people like you may not mind when stories are simple and to the point, but plenty of people will say poor or uninspired writing can ruin entire games, especially RPGs.

You first, frogposter.

Nothing in Oblivion is spectacularly high quality writing from an intellectual point of view, but a lot of it is very enjoyable. If that style isn't to your particular taste then fair enough, but there are so many memorable little stories in Oblivion it beats out any other game I've played.

I really did try to mod the game. I spent two days trying to and when I got in the game it just didn’t work. It’s the most frustrating feeling

How's the magic in Morrowind? Shit like Oblivion/Skyrim or can I actually feel like a god

So why do you claim that Oblivion is the best game if you have no argument ?

Magic in Oblivion was already godmode. Morrowind magic is even better than that though, so if this one doesn't do it for you you're beyond saving.

There was a lot of memorable stuff, I'd definitely give you that.

I've been replaying it after years and man walking around the map feels so fucking boring.
Too many open fields with nothing to do till you get to a location.
Aside from that its still as fun as I remember.

Are you kidding? The magic in Oblivion was godlike if you made your own spells, which you can do in the base game, and enchant your armour to make yourself invisible permanently. In Skyrim the magic is shit however

wtf is this, WoW classic right? Wheres the ui

>can I actually feel like a god
that’s the whole point of it man, you can do literally anything you want using spellmaking and alchemy. you can’t even make spells until the end of the mage’s guild in oblivion and skyrim has none of that.

So you complain about simple writing in a series that has the 36 lessons of Vivec?
I functionally do not understand.

Did you read my post? I said it was the best because it had so many priceless moments that the other games didn't have, but for me that is what I value most. Others may prefer other factors, like graphics or the main questline

>enchant your armour to make yourself invisible permanently
Are you talking about 100% chameleon? That's not quite the same thing as invisibility, the invisibility effect seems to make you literally undetectable whereas 100% chameleon still lets NPCs notice you if you make a lot of noise or physically bump into them or something.

I said earlier there are exceptions, which leads me to believe some of writers are shitty and some are great. A lot of the dialogue writing in Morrowind was bizarre, like sometimes you'd see conversations like this:
>So, do you have my 5 corkbulb roots that I wanted?
>corkbulb roots
>Ah, so you have my 5 corkbulb roots that I wanted.
It was so weird and annoying because it could've been done so much better.

"duh you can miss a lot so its bad" overshadows the huge issue that once you actually start leveling up more combat gets MORE boring. really the only time combat is fun is when you have to outsmart your enemies because they're kicking your ass. outsmarting NPCs that have shit like jinkblades or 1 hit spells or are simply grossly higher leveled than the player is fucking amazing in this game. levitating with bows and spears, going full chameleon, demoralizing, calming enemies then betraying them then calming them over and over, etc is priceless and actually fun, but once you've got high health and hit chance, you don't really have to think anymore. at like level 10 the base game is a cakewalk in nearly all combat scenarios and it sucks. thank god for mods

that's clearly what he meant, user, and you originally claimed you had to become archmage

>at like level 10 the base game is a cakewalk in nearly all combat scenarios and it sucks try taking on some ordinators or Vivec. Tribunal and Bloodmoon have much more overleveled enemies as well

>everyone in this thread is the same person

My character is a random guy with a iron armor, a shield and a sword , I barely did any quest.
Also fuck negromancers, specially the altmer ones

Btw so in order to not get my shit pushed in i had to practice both my minor skills and major skills or go full jack of all trades?

Yeah the DLCs do get pretty tough. I'd say they went overboard though, like damn

Bloodmoon was fine, at level 21 my character pretty much killed everything it moved with his deadric two handed sword

shit
don't post again

>all female NPCs in Gothic 1 were slaves and none of them had playable animations, meaning they couldnt fight or do anything meaningful

Morrowind is okay but it tries HARD to keep people from having fun.
The graphics, the shithole of a world, the snowflake combat, the repetitive dialogue, soulless npcs, etc.
Thank fuck theres mods that fix most of the problems.

there's zero feedback for misses or nuance to the combat since the different attack types don't affect hit chance and the poor game balance means only one attack is worth using on a weapon

This.

This is absolutely true. I saw people playing Gothic with a mouse sucking harder than anyone using keyboard controls.

Left hand goes on control, alt and tab, so you can manage inventory, blocking and targeting, right hand does movements and attack directions. It's the easiest controls.

> B-But muh WASD

Grow a fucking pair. It's not the only viable decent keyboard control that exists.

I just finished it for the first time a few weeks ago.

The combat is kind of ass. It's based on DnD hit percentages, which is okay, but it just makes it a pain in the ass to kill anyting starting off. The difficulty is basically "get fucked by everything" and after you level up a bit you're an unstoppable death machine.

Magic is great, but you have to have autistic understanding of the mechanics. Which spells to focus on, which to pass up, you have to be A level on your enchanting game to make decent gear that buffs Magicka and whatnot. I just made every-first-TES-character that dabbled in everything. I ended up stabbing things with a spear.

This game shines in narrative and story. It has the best story and world-building in any TES game you will play, including Daggerfall, and that's a very strong contender. You will learn about ancient Dunmer prophecies and Dwemer civilisation. It's fucking great. Beyond that, the soundtrack is amazing. It's a game of narrative, atmosphere, and world-building, not of action gameplay.

my issue is that there's like no voice acting, and it feels like its just a ton of reading in regards to getting immersed in the story

what an incel post

if being a shutin and contrarian is the cool fed for me then "incel" is a compliment for me

Also you saying "incel" is dead give a way for you being a newfag

Can you tell me why Bethasdafag is now using a gothic meme for a shitty rpg game?

That can be somewhat aggrevating, meaning that you have to take breaks every now and then between gaming sessions. But real talk: if you can't read for extended periods of time there's something wrong with you. It's nice to have voice acting, but this game legitimately doesn't NEED it. It could benefit from it. A lot of the story is given through you via books and manuscripts in the main quest, which makes you feel - surprise - like you are uncovering your world's history. In real life that also means reading a lot of the time.

It's an acquired taste, sure. But a desirable one.

OOO

good post

This post is objectively correct. I've seen hundreds of people complaining about oblivion's level curve but I always thought the game was too easy.
Even non combat builds can breeze through the game.

Thats not Pokemon Yellow.
