why does the left always use loaded questions?

I played it for my first time in 2020 with OpenMW. It's just pure soul and you use lots of your imigination.
Owen Stewart
dogshit game kill yourself
skyrim and oblivion are much better
Grayson Davis
It wasn't. Next question.
Luis Rivera
because it was made by whiter, nerdier, freer men.
Wyatt Wood
Idk. Just something about it. The mod scene used to kick ass too
John Cox
Why would you say such a thing? Do you have a brain tumor?
Evan White
nuh uh

Just wait until you break the game and levitate across the map

Originality of the setting, depth of its story and RPG mechanics (by comparison to later TES), better exploration because of much more limited level scaling (most loot and enemies handplaced) and absence of quest compasses, map markers and so on.
Much, much better worldbuilding, Vvardenfell actually has a plausible economy going with plantations, glassmakers and whatnot, Oblivion has like 2 vegetable patches. Better and more plausibly scaled cities with coherent architectural styles of the different Dunmer factions and Western colonists, in Oblivion it's all just random. Skyrim got a little better in that department.
For me it really is the originality of the setting that sets it leagues ahead of the earlier and later TES which are just mundane, bland and uninspired by comparison.

Why do they look like they're made of lego?
Nolan Carter
damn, you write really well, why did you just waste all that on some tranny fag's dumb thread?

Watch this shit and play the game already you faggots

they don't it's just your queer-eye
Austin Taylor
They do, the game looks like shit.
Why would you even play this mess?
What the fuck is that thing in a dress? lmao
Are you retarded?

Animations are easier to calculate. In normal bone weighted animation we use today each vertex is moved with the bone they're weighted to which requires more processing power than just cutting your character into pieces and rotating the bits around a pivot point. When you have a lot of characters on screen at once animating this will help loads. GTA3 did it too.
Bentley Brooks
It's clear you're the user shitting on Morrowind all over /vrpg/ but why do they call you romanian?
Brandon Wright
But why not make it look so shitty?
Christopher Cruz
I see you need your meds.
You seem to not understand the nature of a public board where anyone can can post. The site isn't composed of 2 people.
That you think only one person is going to see a screenshot like the one OP posted be the only person in the world to think that it looks like poop is pretty funny.
Nolan Gomez
Your writing style is too similar to that one user. I don't see the point in pretending you aren't him, it's not like anyone is going to track you down
Aaron Cox
Imo:
Morrowind is a RPG game with a fantasy world slapped on it
Skyrim & Oblivion are Fantasy games with RPG elements slapped on it
Angel Stewart
Outlander! WHAT do you WANT?
Jaxon Davis
spit it out or hit the road
Gavin Hill
only written dialogue and no level scaling bs
Christian Perez
Bethesda thought they were going bankrupt and so poured their heart and soul into it, nowadays they just phone it in
Ian Sullivan
What makes you say I am a leftist?
I myself played it on the classic Xbox for the first time. Far from ideal, but I could not believe how wrapped up into the game's world I became.
No. One thing I will say about Morrowind, it doesn't give one shit about you. It tosses you into the world and you are a weak little shit. The tiniest thing can poison you and kill you. I think Oblivion and Skyrim lack that sense of danger or that feeling of insignificance. The world is bigger than you are and you must adapt to it. Skyrim and Oblivion feel like they were catered to you, the player.
Truth.
Just makes Morrowind that much better.
For some games this is true, for others this is not.
good post
Jayden Ross
It was a hail mary. If Morrowind didn't succeed Bethesda was going to go bankrupt, so they had to go all out.
Brayden Watson

I remember the first quest in Morrowind is basically just "go up the road and get to a town called Balmora" and I remember being scared shitless. If I ran into anything on the road, armed with nothing but my shitty dagger, I would be toast. In Oblivion and Skyrim, you really are just a murder machine. I remember in Oblivion just slaughtering the first pack of bandits I ran into with no issue and thinking "woah? really? So that's the sort of game it's going to be." You have to be brain dead in order to die in Skyrim or Oblivion.
Ethan Bell
Verisimilitude. Simple as.
Nolan Fisher
No it had many things better but it wasn't better at every single thing. I'd probably rank it as Skyrim > Morrowind > Oblivion if I had to rank them. Skyrim plays the best so on that alone for me I would probably put it above the other two since the other two don't necessarily outdo it in other categories either or at least not by a lot. Morrowind's biggest strenghts to me is that it had the most interesting world, was most comfy, lore was great and it was just plain fun to explore it probably more so than the other games. Its gameplay though is very jank and would be a lot better if it played combat wise like Skyrim.
Michael Flores
Because it was a step up from Daggerfall, not that Oblivion and Skyrim are terrible games, but they each progressively downgraded the systems of the game instead of improving on them and making the best RPG possible, that's what happens when you sell out to the console market
Oliver Clark
It wasn't, both games have their pros and cons. Overall I'd say Morrowind>Oblivion, but only because I hate Oblivion's level scaling that makes being high level a Choire instead of making you feel strong.
An ideal game would be
>Morrowind's game world, (including text-based dialog windows for ease of modding)
>Oblivion's NPC scheduling and quests
>Modded Skyrim's graphics
>Combat from none of them because they all kinda suck at combat in their own way
Adam Edwards
>Morrowind fans will defend this
Kayden Brooks
Yes, user, the combat does get boring if it's not changed for 20 years, your point is?
Evan Jackson
you're literally defending it holy shit
Brody Evans
Defending what?
Jeremiah Cook
>Its gameplay though is very jank
You mean combat, right? I don't know if soulsshit did this but it's like everyone suddenly forgot that "gameplay" is more than just a game's combat system. Morrowind's gameplay is actually great with an engaging journal system, rewarding exploration and tons of room for fun experimentation with spell effects. The combat is just one aspect of Morrowind's gameplay that is admittedly somewhat lacking.
Jeremiah Ross
They are afraid of the truth.
They are the type that will ask questions like " Would you rather play Morrowind and win win a million or play Skyrim and have your eyes plucked out" then crow about the poll showing how Morrowind is so much more popular than Skyrim.
They fear people not giving the answer they want.
Michael Carter
this is mostly the truth
there's also some aspect of them having given up too, they were using all the budget to make a game that they proud of rather than focusing on something just to sell, which is why daggerfall/battlespire/redguard were soulless feeling
Colton Fisher
>can't even cast spells while holding a sword for when you want to melee
Yeah Morrowind is rough.
Christopher Perez
its not, skyrim is 10 times better than iether of them, as the whole world knows. you nostalgiatards are so tiring. morrowind is such a shit game.
Dylan Butler
Ask me how I know you never really played the game
Aiden Reed
You are schizophrenic.
Joshua Davis
then how did I get the footage?
Leo Howard
Have you never seen a strawpoll with Morrowind with a huge lead? I bet you think that is an honest effort by the poll creator.
The left craves validation. That is one of the reasons user thought you leaned to the left. I do as well.
Not Biden left either. You are full on Bernie bro left. They indulge in histrionics when challenged as well
Benjamin King
this but unironically
Levi Wood
Morrowind had a more interesting world than the generic western fantasy lands of Oblivion or Skyrim. The plot was great and felt suitable epic which was amplified by feeling in a world that isn't like our own.
The gameplay itself was kinda bad. Combat was terrible and was dramatically improved by the later games.
I hope at some point they either remake it or are brave enough to make another fantasy game that doesn't center humans.
Levi Campbell
The RPG aspects are actually fleshed out regardless of if they're "unbalanced", along with having an interesting story, lore, and setting.

No fuck you, retard. This is what games were missing, and this is also why Dark Souls became such a phenomenon. In a lot of ways, Morrowind and Dark Souls 1 are the same. The way they just drop you into an alien world and filter you in under an hour. I enjoyed TES IV and V, but III is the king of the TES series.

You can fuck off back to plebbit.
Isaiah Wilson
In Oblivion, you could hold a sword and a shield AND still cast a spell. Oblivion had a dedicated magic button and it doesn't get enough credit for it.
Brody Campbell
>NO DUDE GAMES SHOULD CATER TO THE PLAYER.
This is literally what the plebbit mentality is you black gorilla nigger. You go back to plebbit, faggot trash.
Christopher Nguyen
OMG THIS GAME IS HARD, JUST LIKE DARK SOULS!
Juan Morales
Why would Morrowind be the leftist's game of choice? The game is racist as shit and based.
Ryder Gray
DARK SOULS SHOULD HAVE AN EASY MODE FUCK YOUUUUUU
David Flores
Clearly you didn't listen to the Imperial guards being nice for 1 second and then spouting racist insults to other races that would make Hitler proud.

Nolan Mitchell
If they ever did remake it I'd hope they include the whole land and not just the island. I also would hope they make improvements to gameplay and combat. I definitely would also hope they stay true to the story and don't alter that. Morrowind music is still my favorite of the games.
