Played morrowind first but I like oblivion more.

If Morrowind's lore, factions, armor, quests, weapons and all icing on the cake hat wasn't connected to the storyline were intergrated into Oblivion bliviongate: I would then vote for Oblivion, but it hasn't so I voted Morrowind. Take that oblivion :gun: TES VI

The journal was realistic in Morrowind, heh. In a realistic journal, do you write, "" then if you decide to do something else skip ahead a few pages ""?

Yes, I do all that. There is no other way to living.

I prefer Morrowind because Oblivion doesn't run on my Ubuntu LOL
When i used to play oblivion it was extremely boring, due to the poor storyline and the low difficulty.

I think Oblivion eats up Morrowind. bliviongate: However, I did play that before I played Morrowind, so it was like going backwards without the nostalgia factor.

I did the same as you. Once you get over the bad graphics/ animations (first couple of hours) you can really start to enjoy and find out what's going on. It's a really good game it just takes time to get hold of.

Oblivion holds "first game nostialgia" for me too though. I don't care what people say about it, it's my favourite game.

I played Oblivion first as well, but I think they both have their fair share of ups and downs in a few if not many places that of course are to be expected since no game is ever going to be "perfect".

[sarcasm] Puh! How dare you ask such a pitiful question. Hmph. Morrowind is by far the superior product, it's like comparing Viagra to Extenze, HA![/sarcasm]

Exploration as a mechanic.

The comparison between MW and OB is like comparing two cakes. The first one had a relatively bland and only semi-sweet icing that took a little bit of chewing, but the cake underneath was superb. The latter one had a creamy, sweet icing, with lots of decorations, but the cake underneath was absolutely taseless. Those who liked icing (whether or not they ever tasted the actual cake) thought the second cake was much better, and couldn't understand why anyone would prefer the first cake. Those who took the time to get past the icing to the cake beneath kept insisting that the first cake was far superior. What's really needed is for the baker to produce a third cake with the first recipe but the second icing. Bethesda, the ball's in your court; please don't bake a fruitcake this time around.

Great, now I want cake.

But your cake anology does have a point. Then again, the first cake has icing made waaaay before the icing on the bland, tasteless cake, so icing-making technology has advanced. In my opinion, that makes the icings pretty much uncomparable. And the first cake's icing is fixable, too, just maybe not to the point as to make it as good as the second cake's icing.

You are going on too long about this.

Is that a pun?

I like to think of it this way Morrowind is like a cake with old frosting delicious when it was fresh but now it's past its expiration date but Oblivion on the other hand is like a cupcake delicious but not it's small and only has enough to make you want more.

I always thought a good comparison of the two games is anolagous to the difference between a novel and a movie based upon said novel. The novel takes time to read and get into, but is much richer in detail. The movie is much easier to get into, but often lacks the depth and nuances that were in the novel.

Great anology and addendum. :thumbsup:
Completely sums it up.

a try for one.

I have always prefered Morrowind myself... Oblivion bores me after a while.

That anology works pretty well, too. No surprise, then, that I generally prefer the novel to the book, although I can also enjoy watching a good movie.....once. I'd be willing to bet that there's a sizable fraction of the fanbase on either side of the "movie versus book" issue, and that there's a fairly high correlation between that and their opinions of the two games in question. Of course, to any rule, there's an exception,
.....except.....

i liked both but voted morrowind. oblivions combat was funner, and being able to buy a house was nice, but nothing beat stumbling across some of those hidden items for the first time in morrowind. i also loved all the diffrerent underwater caves/grottos in morrowind, oblivions underwater seemed to be lacking

Morrwind is like watching a dog lick peanut butter off the roof of it's mouth. And when you get tired of it it's like when the dog has licked all that peanut butter off. Later when you get the morrow-fever all you have to do it put PB back on the roof of the dogs mouth.

Oblivion is like a can of coke. You drink it and that first initial reaction is this quenches the thirst. But after awhile your thirsty and you have to disrepect the super bowl.

There's a perfect anology.

SIR!! Put down that beer and step away from the bar!!
