Yes, play it before playing Skyrim...it already feels a bit out of date, won't be better after Skyrim.

I know, I know...many of you think it is the greatest game ever...it was...move on.

i would get it its a good game i still play it and just because you wont finish before skyrim doesnt mean you wont come back

Mine too, though I find it hard to go back to its combat system....I tend to be a melee junkie and its roll-style fighting was fun for the time but is not sufficient after playing Mount and Blade or Oblivion.

OP: Get it and get the Bloodmoon expansion....that will get you in the mindset for Skyrim if you head to Solstheim (though the enemies up there are tougher, so not great for a low level player, unless you can run ).

Any suggestions on what mods I can skip from that list?

Play it. It makes Oblivion look like garbage. I don't know how that works, but it does. I thought game sequels were supposed to improve in several aspects, or maybe Beth likes catering to r-tards, who knows!

You won't finish it in time for Skyrim. I recommend Daggerfall.

Get it. I loved it it had such a gritty political feel that just couldn't be matched by oblivion. I lost my copy a few yrs ago and haven't stopped looking for it to this day. Can any1 tell me where to get another copy preferably for xbox

Just got it but I got it on steam. Anyone have tips for installing mods? I know steam makes that trickier but I have done it with other games so it shouldn't be impossible.

If you played Oblivion and have a lot of time on your hands before 11.11.11, go ahead. If not, wait for after you play Skyrim.

@OP: As everyone else has said before me: a definite yes.

Why play that ugly game. Play Oblivion. Much prettier graphics and a better story over all.

any time is a good time for morrowind. my favorite TES game yet. you should be able to find it at best buy for around 10 bucks.

I wish I could get into morrowind.. but the game world just seemed far too static for my tastes.. anyone else get that feeling? :meh::sadvaultboy:


I found daggerfall to be much better :celebration:

Its definitely a different experience if you went and played it now after having played many more current games. Especially the text reading and static NPCs. I would of course still recommend at least giving it a good try.

You would probably want to install MSGO though.

Get ready for a billion comments from opinionated fans :toughninja:

Why not? I finished the main quest in a month. Not everything else though. I say get it. It will keep you busy.

i bought MW after loving OB and ill give it to you straight, its not worth it. its a downgrae from OB. better off Fallout or shivering isles. trust me

THANKYOU!

I got the game a few weeks ago to play while I am waiting for skyrim. I had never played a ES game before, only fallout 3 and New Vegas.

I got the graphic mods installed and some bug fix mod too. I must say its a good game, and it looks rather good with the mods on. Still I cant help feeling that the game is kind of dated. When playing it I keep thinking thought like "Yeah skyrim is going to do that sooo much better" and "oh, yeah thats what they talked about on the forum, it is going to be so much better in skyrim"....

What I am trying to say is that I think morrowind is the kind of game that if you played it when it was released, then you will forever LOVE the game because it really is a good game (and for its time it must have been fantastic). But to play it for the first time today, 30 days before skyrim is released.... not working really, atleast not for me

Like I LOVE Final Fantasy VIII, because it was my first FF and I played it for so many hours when it was released back in the 90s, and no matter how fancy the graphics and gameplay of todays games are NOTHING is as good as Final Fantasy VIII for me. But if someone would play if the first time today, they would probably never learn to love it like I (and so many others) do.

Yep. Morrowind is a classic legend of a game. It's story is amazing, it's art style is amazing. Get it for the PC, crank up the settings to max, get some of darknuts high res texture packs, and voila, you've got one amazing game to play for a very long time.

yup. the ppl defending MW till death are those who played it back in 2001 and loved it accordingly. those who began TES w OB will NOT be loving it.

Rofl, no. Not at all. Don't speak for someone when you have absolutely no clue what you're talking about.

Morrowind is twice the game that Oblivion is, just like Daggerfall is 4 times the game Morrowind is.

And Oblivions graphics are atrocious. Graphics don't equal pure polygon count. Art style is what makes vanilla Morrowind 10x better than Oblivion graphically. Horridly vivid colors with terrible art direction, and potato head NPC's. Ugh. Just thinking about it makes me laugh.

I played about an hour of it and got really into it back when it was released, but never gave it a full playthrough.

I can play old games without getting frustrated, I still go back and play Warcraft 3 for example. Now I can't go back and play something as dated as say, a super nintendo game, but I did play Ocarina of Time quite a bit on my xbox when I was into modding it.

Morrowind has a rich story and some pretty water. Aside from those, it hasn't aged well at all, gameplay wise. It feels very table-toppy, and if you don't approach it with an open mind, you're not going to like it.

One of the first jarring things I noticed? Attacks can miss. Along with info-loaded NPCs, it feels like a dated, empty MMO.

But the story was nice. Predictable, but quite fleshy.

Just like Deus Ex, Morrowind's recommendation has to come with a giant bloated apostrophe.
It was fantastic for it's time, maybe not graphically for both games but they were both experiences people just hadn't quite had before.
If you've played through Oblivion I would say stick with that and head on into Skyrim, if you haven't I'd say play through Oblivion first.
Besides, while you'd be able to finish Oblivion before the 11th, I doubt you'd stand much chance of finishing Morrowind.
Not because Oblivion is much smaller or anything but because it has a lot more focus than Morrowind did, with it's endless plethora of [censored] to do besides the main quest.
