I had good times in the old games, but time for me to move on.

I remember some of my buddies from work and I playing Arena back in 1994.
Somebody found a cool sword, so we all had to get that,

Lol, I also remember playing the game of Daggerfall with my step-daughter - some good times.

And my son-in-law and I making our first characters in Morrowind and helping each other.
Then there was that shack in Sedya Neen...

I remember the day rhe Parcel Post truck arrived with Oblivion, I was really ready.
I spent hours with the character creation feature, phew! After time and patience, I finally made a good character.
Finding a mortar and pestle in the starter dungeon was a highlight for my Priestess

If you all want to play Morrowiind, be my guest, I liked it, as well.

But, now, I am going to play Skyrim.

I can't remember anticipating any game as much as I do Skyrim.

"...huge freakiing dragons..." - and much more...

I don't know. Morrowind was almost perfect, and the one major flaw in Morrowind is fixed in Skyrim. Though Skyrim is more simplified that Morrowind and includes less skills and no attributes, which I don't like. Can't decide.

I don't think we should make vs threads, but there is no way in snowy hell Skyrim will be better than Morrowind.
It had potential, but they blew it (merging greaves, removing birthsigns and some other [censored])

I still think Skyrim will be better than Oblivion though, I'm not sure about daggerfall.

It′s a matter of taste. There is no better or worse. They both have something great, a style of their own.

Yeah I think so.

I firmly believe that Skyrim will be way better than Morrowind. Nostalgia struck fans will never admit it though, so don't hold your breath. -shrugs-

If there's no spell creation, everything that attributes covered, run speed and jump height variables, then no, it cant be better than Morrow. Without those, it wont even be better than OB.

ARE YOU KIDDING!?!?!? morrowind Is The Best TES To Date NOTHING Will EVAR Beat Morrowind!!!

Each game kind of stands on it's own. They're each very different and it's really a matter of taste. I started playing Morrowind in 2004, and Oblivion in 2006. Both games were great in their own way. Morrowind felt more alive and unique.

Morrowind - TES with Kirkbrides writing

Oblivion - TES WITHOUT Kirkbrides writing

Skyrim - He returns.

Now, that is something I didn't know. That gives me a little hope for Skyrim. I REALLY missed the complex lore in Oblivion. Its probably the one thing that made the game feel really shallow.

it would be very hard if not next to impossible but there is a slight chance. the things that need to be in skyrim that would probably make it better than morrowind:

no quest arrows or at the very least detailed directions so that i can disable quest arrows..........im still not clear what the claravoyance spell does but it sounds like it might replace the quest arrows.

in game fast travel............already confirmed in

spears and crossbows and throwing weapons..............confirmed not in :sadvaultboy:

restrictions on guild membership and how many guilds you can get high ranks in or become the head of..........i really hope they dont screw it up like they did with oblivion.

improved combat............this is a no brainer.

unique game world with a darker less cartoony tone.............looks like they got that down

unique dungeons..........already confirmed

more balanced spellmaking and enchanting.........they removed spellmaking and im not sure about enchanting so its wait and see on that one.

better animations and models...........already done.

i would say that unless they announce quick time events or automatic third person finishing moves when your in first person view that i would give it a 20-30% chance of beating morrowind.

Didnt know that. If he was the guy behind Morrowind's great lore and story then my expectiations for Skyrim are a lot higher.

I think Skyrim will be better.

This will be true for the most part. The same folks who complained about OB the last 5 years will be the same ones complaining about Skyrim for the next 5. The other 99.99% of TES fans will love Skyrim for what it is. :tes:

me too

the story in MW was sublime

the only thing that is still ticking me off is the lack of crossbows

and the idiotic quest compass marker

yes

Obviously.

What kind of dumb question is that?

You can have better story and more weapons but all games come down to game play thats why skyrim will aways win in my book.

If Skyrim going to beat Morrowind it needs to recapture what made Morrowind so good, the sense of discovery and uniqueness of the land. I think Skyrim really needs to show off Nord culture, Skyrim's political factions, and variety of unique landscapes. It short, it should to be unique and foreign to the player, so part of the fun playing is derived from wanting to learn more about it. At least that is how I view it.

1- yah in MW I was always ... OOOOOHHHH AHHHH, thats great, omg epic, thats the dwemer GOD, omg wtf is this a deadric helm (face of GOD), OMG giant crab palace , OHHHH, AHHHH, wow I can talk to deadra lords, OMG a meteor levitating ...etc

2- in OB I was ...... oh look a house, another house, ohh look a castle, here is another castle .......etc


yah hope skyrim is more like number 1

skyrim is better because it has better aesthetics

I don't think Skyrim will be as good as Morrowind. For me, wonder and fantasy always trump realism in a game. It can have the most realistic graphics in the world - a tree can look exactly like a tree, but it's not that important to me because I can always go outside and look at a real tree. I want to explore a world that is completely unique, and Morrowind had that. Notably, it had its drawbacks, and Skyrim has some fantastic elements, but it will have its own drawbacks too. Plus there's nothing like nostalgia to make a good thing seem better than it ever really was.

But I'll still foaming at the mouth the second I start playing Skyrim.

It might be, but I don't think any new Elder Scrolls game can beat the feeling of nostalgia that I get when thinking about Morrowind. It was the first TES game that I've played and I don't think that anything can recapture that sense of discovery for me.

Although no game will match the great game feel Morrowind has, but i am expecting Skyrim to be better than Morrowind.
