Look, I've really been interested in playing Morrowind. My first TES was Oblivion and the experience blew me away. Before Skyrim came out I downloaded Daggerfall out of curiosity and to see TES at its roots. Oh my gosh... so overwhelming and horribly hideous I couldn't go for more than a half hour without a murderous headache. Before that, at a very quaint game store in a town nearby I had a chance to actually open up Morrowind and pop it in an Xbox, but I only got a minute past the class creation and stuff before I had to go.
I don't doubt Morrowind was amazing at its time. But all the Morrowind die-hards and elitists out there who say it is superior to Skyrim only make me have less of a desire to try it. Why bother going back to that time? I just see so much stubbornness and angst from the Morrowind people that it really turns me off. If you will always have that special Morrowind place in your heart, I completely understand. For me, I loved the game Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast. I liked in many ways its sequel JK3: Jedi Academy more. If, 10 years later from JK2, a JK4 came out, I would probably love it (unless they somehow botched it, as can happen), but I would still have that special love for the predecessor. Some sequels are so much better I forget the old ones, but that is rarer.
Morrowind was a great game. Oblivion was a great game. Skyrim is a great game.
Can't we all hold hands and smile, and share in the wonder that is the magic of The Elder Scrolls? :hugs:
