Notice how those who prefer Daggerfall are mostly gone from the forums, now, but used to rule it and pick on Morrowind. The shift must be happening again.
I don't remember that at all, actually.
I was on these forums a lot as asamopower back then.
I mean, there's a huge difference between preferring and being utterly disappointed. The people who prefer Daggerfall probably left after they saw that Oblivion was a huge step backwards in every aspect except for combat, which was really a tiny step forwards. Manual blocking, woooooo!
Also, I don't think as many people play Daggerfall anymore, in general. Morrowind is timeless and I stay here because I still play Morrowind. I just comment when I see something I disagree with, while browsing, because I can't really help it.
Also, I give Oblivion another try now again. There just aren't enough mods to stuff into it to keep me entertained for more than a week. But, that's just me.
I'm just saying I'm not here to pick on Oblivion. When I'm not playing Morrowind, I disappear and no one hears from me until I start playing Morrowind again. I don't stick around just to make fun of Oblivion. But it does slightly offend me when people totally miss the point, so I can't help but comment.
