an honest proposal

I must be wierd, because I'm hoping Bethesda continue to do what they've always done, and improve on the last one: ie - I Hope Skyrim sets it's own boundries.

Oh! So you want a game that will have nothing but content. And nothing else? You think Bethesda will take things that are slandered for games these days?

Sorry not everyone is like you. I like quest markers. I have a life, I need to study for my exams to go in university and I love Elder Scrolls. I will not play around for five hours to find out where I have to go. They should make an option to turn in on and off. Voice acting is sweet and they should put it back in. You won;t buy the game because they added in voice acting?

I agree with you on the graphics part, I don't care for really good graphics, I just want a lot of content and good gameplay.

Yes some things need to go back to how Morrowind is, that is what people vote on. But i dontt believe people say "hey lets just cut and paste Morrowind into a skyrim scenery". Yes be able to kill anything, yes spears and levitating, yes bring back alot but keep some from Oblivion too. It may not be as good as Morrowind but it has good points. Let Skyrim grow. They know what the fans want and will try to please them the best they can, they aren't gaming "virgins", they know pretty well how to please us. Let them make Skyrim so good that it makes you say "screw Morrowind Skyrim was way better.

... So because people want some of the lost features of Morrowind to be considered for Skyrim, that suggests that people want to go right back to Morrowind entirely? I think those critics of the "Morrowind fanatics" need to chill out. Oblivion had its perks. So did Morrowind. But since Oblivion cut out quite a few features that fans seem to miss, it's natural to expect them want those features back. That's the way I see the fan reaction.

Edit: Apparently fan-boy is censored.

I disagree completely, because you dont know yet how far they ve gone with the new technology, in two years from now you may see jaw dropping things on games in general

READ THE OP'S POST. Anyways, i agree with you OP, anytime there's a "Morrowind" option on the polls, it always wins, no matter what.

That's what I'm talking about^ You make it sound like Oblivion did not add ANYTHING to the franchise, while it certainly did. How would you feel if they took out NPC routines for example.

it diddnt add a whole lot. CHANGED a lot of things perhaps, but it certainly wasnt revolutionary for the time in my opinion, because a lot had been done before in morrowind and most of the new features were just software additions to the game.

edit - tbh i wouldnt really care if they took away the schedule's. all the npcs did was wonder around the towns at certain times like knobs.

I only want content in a game. Like what else would you put in... besides content. :facepalm:

I have been looking at the suggestions for Skyrim and it seems no matter what it is people always want Morrowind feature over Oblivion features I say give the people what they want. Skyrim should be like a Morrowind sequel, I mean everything in Oblivion was a mistake.
Bethesda needs to do the following:
get rid of the quest markers, those are only for illiterate player anyways
get rid of the graphics, it will allow more time for working on content
get rid of the AI from Oblivion, it is really hard to keep track of all those NPC's in Oblivion
get rid of voice acting and allow more time for content
reuse the same models so there will be time for more content
so what if this gets rid of the mainstream gamers, if they can't appreciate a good game then they shouldn't be playing it.I think this game shouldn't even be called Skyrim, it should be Morrowind 2, I mean thats what people want right? in fact this shouldn't even be a new game it should just be another DLC, because Morrowind was absolutely perfect.

If you haven't figured this out this thread is satirical, and is here to point out how many people want Skyrim to be an exact sequel to Morrowind, but Skyrim needs to be its own game and not compared to any past elderscrolls game. I know this thread will probably get locked, but I had to make this issue apparent


I don't think anyone wants worse graphics or less voice acting? Especially since voice acting was one of the biggest flaws of Oblivion. I don't know where you are getting this whole thing about everyone wanting this stuff.

Oblivion did add a lot to the franchise, it also removed quite a bit.

I admit I still love Oblivion, I just felt as though it was dumbed down a hell of a lot. Fast travel was in Daggerfall too you know guys? I wish they would remove the map fast travel and do things the way Morrowind did.

I don't mind the quest markers, they do help quite a bit...but I also like the thrill of finally finding where I've needed to be after searching for so long. Take the Solsthiem quest for example. When you needed to find the 6 shrines or what ever they were you actually had to look for them, you were given general directions and it made for a much more immersive game.

The AI in Oblivion needed some work, as did the voice overs. Morrowind IMO was a far superior game, it literally took my breath away.

Oblivion was still great, but it was lacking so, so, so much.

You know what is ironic here? Even though this thread was created to bash Morrowind fans, all the people not getting the sarcasm are Oblivion fans. Kind of makes you wonder…

But I agree, wanting to go back to Morrowind is stupid. But then wanting to correct Oblivions mistakes isn’t.

Why would you get rid of graphics? You are going to far. They need to combine oblivion graphics with morrowind content. Thats all along with taking our ideas into consideration and improving the world of elder scrolls! :celebration:

He was being ironic and hyperbolic to show the ridiculousness of how some people want Skyrim to be what would essentially be Morrowind 2. Maybe if you people actually read the full post you would get what he was trying to say.

I dont understand what people arent getting.... WE DONT WANT MORROWIND AGAIN

What we want is a game that is completly imersive like morrowind. Oblivion was very lacking in this dept. I will attempt to explain why

wepaons and armor- with morrowinds expansive amount of armor types and weapon types, not only dose it give you more variety but it also shows different cultures. It shows how different types of cultures used what they had to shape armor shields and weapons. Oblivion lacked this

Lore- now this is where i felt really disappointed by Oblivion. In morrowind there is book after book after book that explains all of the races, provinces, ect oblivion had half of that

quest markers- these are disliked because it just hands you locations, in morrowind we had to read and guess. Sometimes this would lead to some aimless wondering and questing [altoghut there was a travel system]

Graphics and ai- this is a moot point because for morrowinds time its graphics and ai were pretty good.

LEVEL SCALING!!!!!- this is by far the worst thing they did to the game. If i want to dungeon dvie at a low level so be it. if i get lucky enough or fight well enough to defeat higher level enemies i should be able to get that powerful weapon/ armor

Mainstream gaming- the reason it gets knocked is because and 15-16 yo is intellegent enough to play morrowind, but oblivion can be played by a 10 yo child [i have seen this happen]. Most of us think thats crap as this game is rated m that means they arent supposed to be playing it anyway so why make it for them


NOW ON TO SKYRIM BEING ITS OWN GAME [you have no idea how annoying it is to hear this a million times]
This is a blanket stement, these type of "feel-good" statements are truly pointless
Would yo honestly be happy if skyrim had ak-47s and m-16s?
what if it was now a fps? or even a puzzle game?

THAT IS TRULY WHAT YOU ARE SAYING, SO PLEASE DISSIST

Any company with a sucessful product is smart enough to research what was liked about past. Now Morrowind was a big sucess, and Oblivion would be considered a test game, because it was the first on a new platform and it was also rushed [they only had 6 mos with the hardware]. Now seeing as oblivion was a sucess bethesda is left a quite a fork in the road. They can make a game more like oblivion and please the masses, go towards morrowind and please their core fans or try and please bothm but more than likely dissapoint both in doing this.
