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.

I started with Oblivion but I love Morrowind much more, so that's not very true.

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.

all your probs can be squashed w a mod on pc. im talking about console and its MO anyways. you mad?

As a hack & slash game, Morrowind was pathetically weak, and kind of slow to get into. As a RPG, it's a virtually unmatched classic. Depending on the types of games you enjoy, you should either skip it and don't look back, or rush out and buy it, play it for months or years, and cherish it as a rare gem (with a few flaws). With graphics mods and a few other recent improvements, it can look about as good as Oblivion (better in some respects, still not that great in others), and the gameplay is far more rewarding for those who enjoy "risk/reward", character development, and managing success and failure, as opposed to "spoon feeding" and "your character can do everything".

If you just want to play it to "beat" the game, you can probably plow your way through it by 11/11/11, but if you want to see and experience more than a tiny fraction of what the game has to offer, forget Skyrim for about a year or three. Saying "I put 100 hours into Morrowind" is like saying "I saw all of Europe in 3 days".

The interface on Morrowind is pretty clunky. If you've played Oblivion, there are quite a few things in Morrowind that I like better, but you might get frustrated by the way the interface feels. Still, if you haven't played either and want to spend the time to, sure, start with Morrowind and then play Oblivion, and not the other way around.

Rofl, mad jokes? Really? Is that all you have as a rebuttal? "you mad" puns? :rolleyes:
I expected more. I really did.

Also, regardless of PC or console, vanilla MW looks better than Oblivion due to it's amazing art style. There actually like, different trees instead one single tree like in Oblivion! *gasp* The swams of the marshes near Seyda Neen, the rolling wildland hills of the Grasslands. The ash storms, the mushroom trees, my oh my oh my.

Also, PLENTY of people love Morrowind more than Oblivion after having played Oblivion first. That speaks for itself.
