Nothing at all. If this was asking what I'll miss from Daggerfall i'd be able to answer.

Compared to Morrowind, Oblivion was mediocre.


(This isn't really directed at you necessarily)

Can't people just accept that each game is very different from the last? Just because Morrowind had a certain quality that we liked doesn't mean Oblivion and Skyrim should mimic it. The games are designed to stand on they're own. We should just be glad that the stuff we loved about Morrowind was in Morrowind in the first place. That being said, I will miss a ton of stuff that was in Morrowind, but it's important to keep in mind, if you miss Morrowind that much, and prefer so much about it, nothing's stopping you from just playing Morrowind instead of Skyrim or Oblivion.

Then answer what you would've missed about Daggerfall :)

Unlike Oblivion, Morrowind will still be a good game when Skyrim is out. If I feel like playing Morrowind, I'll play Morrowind.


Stop talking like everyone agrees with that. I think oblivion is still I great game and I enjoyed it a lot more than morrowind.

He's entitled to his opinion. You're entitled to yours. So again, don't make this a Morrowind VS Oblivion thread.

More skills, best character creation of the series, best spellcrafting of the series, more quests, bigger world, climbing, massive dungeons, different languages for talking to enemy beasts...

I agree that I would like a bigger world and massive dungeons, but it worked like that only because it was a rather empty world, it lacked lots of details. There was a tree here, a house there. That's just my opinion though.

Morrowind was dumbed down from Daggerfall regardless. It gimped out on skills, spellcrafting, character creation, among many other things.

The Atmosphere / gameplay / story / character customization / sense of Dunmer culture / music / exploration and rewards / architecture / opposing factions.

Balmora in the rain....


Ah, my favourite response. It gets my nostalgia glands pulsing. :) The first sight of the city through the fog and rain. The denizens of the town wandering around. Caius Cosades giving me 200 septims to spend on booze and skooma, and resorting to petty thievery from the Mages guild and fighters guild and all the other shops for money and sustenance, and finally doing some work. Ah, good times.

I like how half the supposed things people are going to miss are based on flat-out assumptions that Skyrim is going to be a hand-holding, dumbed-down, one-dimensional-story game.

If you're so pessimistic and so unhappy with where the series is going, why be concerned with Skyrim at all?

I've been wondering the same thing myself Velorien.

I think most people here are just mentioned what they liked with Morrowind the most, and what they fear or know might not be in Skyrim.

If you're so pessimistic over what people like especially with one part of the TES-series, then why comment here at all?

The question is not what you liked the most or what you fear about Skyrim. It's about what things you are going to miss from Morrowind.

I comment to point out to people that they have little-to-no base for their assumptions. Bethesda has said they acknowledge how Oblivion lost a lot of what made Morrowind special, they said Skyrim is going back to a more Morrowind-style of adventure, they're putting in a carriage-fast-travel system similar to Morrowind's silt-strider. They are, in general, capturing a lot of what Oblivion lost from Morrowind, yet all of those things have been mentioned in this thread as what people will miss from Morrowind come Skyrim.

It's like they're not even giving it a chance.

I'm sorry, this was at the beginning but...
The Journal. It may sound silly, but the fact that the journal was just a collection of your character's notes and a few highlighted terms as a sort of pseudo-glossary gave a real sense of investigation to some of the harder quests. Its not just about Morrowind not holding hands or anything, it's more than that. Challenge is fun, but it was different in Morrowind, when they said "hey, so-and-so is missing, please go find them" you were actually going to have to do some searching around! Man I miss that. I'd spend hours pouring over my notes to see which quests I should return to now that I've explored a bit more, now that I'm a little more powerful, now that I understand how the politics work a little better.

OH god, no :cryvaultboy:
If anything I will NOT miss that from Morrowind, it's probably the worst feature without the fix from Tribunal...

The journal is an unorganized mess, just putting in new things when you get them, no categories, they're not even removed when finished. If you want to look up old quests you have to scour the whole thing. I'm sorry but if this is challenging and fun you're a masochist.
This is about the unpatched version before Tribunal fixed it, thankfully, but the unpatched experience wounded me for life...
Other than that I liked the fact that it kept notes from some important keywords that was mentioned, so you could look them up, instead of running back and asking them again.

:foodndrink: Mw was one of the very few games where I had to write down notes, make lists and mark locations on paper and I enjoyed every bit of it. It was a challenging and very rewarding experience.

Deal with it. Compared to Daggerfall, Morrowind was mediocre.

From Morrowind I'll miss the game itself, as a whole. Some aspects came back in Oblivion, some aspects lacked in Oblivion but will come back in Skyrim, some will never come back, I won't point out what ingredients I will miss because I don't know what I will miss, but I can tell what I miss now and every time I feel like playing a good game: Morrowind as a whole, my most exciting gaming experience so far.

Those are only opinions though. Just like I think Daggerfall is the best in the series I also prefer Oblivion over Morrowind. Morrowind is my least favorite although that's not saying I don't enjoy it. It's all subjective. I think Skyrim will be the best of the best.
