This again. I had so much fun enjoying the side quests that I didn't even start the main quest for 2 years, which the main quest was kinda meh for me.
Hopefully they do a better main quest, and have side quests as good as Oblivion. Hopefully better.
I very much agree.
I didnt even know there was a main quest until maybe my 10th playthough when I thought: what havent I done yet?
Not only were the Morrowind side quest more varied and interesting than in Oblivion, they also offered real choice.
Remember that Ranis quest about a necromancer in Maar Gan? You could just go there and kill the woman.
Or.. you could talk to people a bit, find out shes not a necromancer, and let her go.
Both options were equally valid.
And there are many, many more like that, such as the interweave between the fighters and thieves guild quests.
In Oblivion you were always the goody two-shoes and there was always only one way to do a quest.
So.. anyone that think Oblivions side quests were better than Morrowinds just hasnt been paying attention.
