Oblivion goty or morrowind goty

Post » Tue Dec 06, 2011 3:28 pm

Just got pc. No Internet can't get Internet at all. So my question is which is better morrowind goty or oblivion goty. I have oblivion for ps3 but never played morrowind. I want to have creation set for oblivion or morrowind either way but which should I buy.

If you're mainly into the combat, get OB. If you're more into RP and character development, get MW. There's some overlap, but they cater to two different target audiences. OB is faster paced, more exciting, and "shinier", but the heavy scaling makes character advancement a "rat race" to outpace the opponents, and ultimately pointless to some RP'ers. Morrowind is slower, and both more frustrating (especially the "miss...miss...hit...miss" combat at low levels) and more rewarding for those who want to dig deeper into the culture, where a "bad" character build is quite playable, it just takes longer.

Why buy it again if you have played OB? Goty means nothing,all the extra content for Oblivion are not that different from the game itself.Except for shivering isles,but I'd say MW goty.

And get some mods too,regardless of which game you get.

If you don't mind poor graphics and weird gameplay, get Morrowind.
If you don't mind a lame story and a bland and uninteresting world, get Oblivion.

If no internet/no mods is a problem, I'd say Morrowind is least unplayable without mods (Oblivion's vanilla UI is horrible).

Also, Morrowind is better :P

EDIT: You could always download the mods on another pc and put them on a usb stick.

Just my personal opinion, I would get oblivion. You can have so much fun in that game with mods its ridiculous.

So with creation set and all mods which is better oblivion or morrowind. Also cheaper? I have oblivion for ps3 already but I wouldn't mind playing it again. Never played morrowind. Which is easier to mod?

Which is cheaper depends on the deal you find. Just go to some sites that sell them and look at the prices.

The above posts are accurate with or without mods. Oblivion for combat and graphics, Morrowind for depth and unique setting/feel. I would only add two things. 1) If you're hoping to get an extremely long amount of time out of your game, Morrowind has a lot more good quest mods for you to play through. 2) Morrowind's dialog is text-only except for short greetings when you walk past people, and with none of those Radiant AI conversations whatsoever. (In fact there is no Radiant AI. The NPCs are very static.) So if you hate games that make you read, Morrowind is not for you.

"Easier to mod" could mean to add mods to, or to make mods for. Oblivion is easier to add mods to, because it freaks out a less about load order, adding/removing mods, etc.. It's also less prone to get crashy when heavily modded, at least for me. Morrowind needs more mods in my opinion because it's age makes it uglier and clunkier, and more mods means a more complicated experience making them all work. However, Morrowind is better if you're looking for a platform for your own mods. The assets are simpler and so easier to make your own to match, and you won't have to worry about voice acting.

You can download mods on a different PC and copy them onto the one you're playing on. Mods aren't an automatic process like buying DLC on your PS3 probably is. You actually download a zip/rar/7z and then extract its contents to the right place in your Morrowind/Oblivion install. But be aware that mods can get really big, so you'll need a fair amount of time on a good connection to collect the ones you want. Could be an issue if your only Internet is the library or a relative with dial-up.

Thanks this is the answer I was looking for. I'm just gonna hope my 2004 self made computer can run oblivion.
