I'm addicted to Elder Scrolls

Post » Thu Apr 07, 2011 11:27 pm

I played The Elder Scrolls IV; Oblivion, allmost every day for about 4 years since it was released. 6 Months ago I stopped playing though. I just got sick of the game crashing and I said "no more". but ever since then, I've felt this longing in my heart, the longing to return to Tamriel, to live another life. Aside from the obvious problems with the game, I've found Oblivion to be the most immersive game I've ever played and now that I've stopped playing it, I still want more. I've bought other "A" title games that are fun and have a great story, such as Mass Effect 1 and 2. But they still dont fill that space in my heart for TES. To the point where I dont want to play anything else. Since I've stopped playing Oblivion, all other games are just to fill in the space between now and when TES V is released and I cant even be bothered finishing any of them (even though I just finished FFX-2 last night). But still I want more, more action, more of what draws you into the world of Tamriel, more TES. So I count the days, the hours, the minutes, untill my next TES fix.

How do you feel?

Tell ya what, if you loved Oblivion so much, go buy morrowind, and play it. It's an Elder Scrolls game as well, and despite the slightly dated graphics(I personally still find them quite beautiful)(there are mods to upgrade them as well), it is a truly excellent game. Daggerfall is also a great TES game ^^ It's graphics however, are EXTREMELY dated, and I am quite certain there are no mods or anything for it, I don't remember any construction set for it ^^

I'm a graphics lover so I never played Morrowind, I've been watching Lets Play Morrowind videos on youtube, and while its fun to watch other people play, the game play and graphics of the game look realy dated. And I cant stand that.

The game play is actually quite superior to Oblivion, at least in my opinion. (It's just that, an opinion, I'm not out to start any Morrowind is better then Oblivion debates here). And as I said, if you play on PC, just go the morrowind mod forums and make a post asking about graphical update mods for Morrowind. I am not kidding when I say there are mods out there that take the graphics up to being on par with Oblivion. Morrowind just has so much to offer, I can't see letting graphics hold me back from playing it. It really is a lot of fun.

Back before my gaming rig started lying to itself, my Morrowind install actually looked better than my Oblivion.
But I'm totally addicted, too. My Xbox just died and I'm itching to get Morrowind on a PC again to play it in the mean time.

If you think Oblivion is immersive then you really need to try Morrowind. If you're supposedly addicted to the Elder Scrolls, then let us assume the Elder Scrolls are drugs. If Oblivion is morphine, then Morrowind would be heroin.

Actually Oblivion would be Marijuana, because all the cool kids do it.

I wanted to get Morrowind GOTY, but its not for sale in NZ. Its too old. There was a store that said they could get it in for me a few months ago, but then a week later I got a letter telling me to move out of my flat. Im in another flat now but moving was exphensive, and I dont think that store would have it any more, or would be willing to get in another copy for me seeing as how I didnt pick up that copy, cause i needed the money to move house. But in the end, I want a curent gen game, with SSAO and HDR and full shadows cause thats 1 thing that realy bugged me about oblivion was the lack of world shadows. I think I'll wait for TES V, as much as it may kill me.

Maybe you can get it from www.amazon.com? Though I don't know how much being in New Zealand will determine where you can order. There's also a site, Canadian I think, named www.gogamer.com that I've used in the past. Morrowind is a classic and hooked me back in 2004, enough so that I've stayed with the forums ever since, even though I haven't played Morrowind in five years. I'm going to reinstall it sometime this year, though. Don't let the graphics prevent you from playing the game.

Wow.

If you assume anyone on these forums qualifies as the, "cool kids."

Then, things have really turned upside down since I've been in high school.

Morrowind is enough like Oblivion to satisfy your TES addiction, trust me, I know.

Morrowind is a good, popular game as well, so you should be able to find it for download somewhere on PC. Try Steam or something. I won't advise a Torrent because there illegal.

I became so addicted to Daggerfall that I actually had to delete the game off of my PC. Never had to do that before.

It's technical issues and some irksome things about it still make me hesitate to decide if I prefer it to Morrowind or Oblivion, but man, if you want a game that just svcks you in and does not let you go, TES 2 is the way to go.

from what it sounds like your title is a bit off, you like Oblivion more so then the actual Elder Scrolls series. If you want your fix, give Morrowind a try, I would recommended daggerfall, but it seems that may be a bit too old school for you.

Addicted enough to "repurpose" toy action figures in 1:24 and 1:18 scale to Morrowind personalities. Doesn't matter if they are from the pristine game, or personalities added by the modding community. If I can find an acceptable fodder base in toy plastics, I am making the character.

She was made with 3 separate toyline pieces.

Morrowind and the lure of "plastic crack". There is no hope at all. ; )
