Morrowind is still my favorite TES game
Of course you should
I've still never even played Morrowind, even though some consider it better than Oblivion and Skyrim. This might be just the thing.
I wanna buy morrowind and get this too but I'm short 20 dollars.
Morrowind has the best armor.

Good timing, I'm about halfway through Morrowind right now.
Mods packs for morrowind always end up with me taking out 4-5 mods and adding 10 others, and if you've already got an existing modded install of it it'll conflict.
Might still need to try it out though.
For some reason I can never get into Morrowind, I think it might be the combat, it just seems different to me from Oblivion which was my first elder scrolls game

It was one of the first games I played on the Xbox, and I wandered aimlessly for months, it was definitely my favorite.
so which is better, this or Morrowind Overhaul?

I'm forever in love with the faction based light helmets.

I didn't really like Morrowind.
It was way to metagamey, with not as much emphasis on the story or environment (though that could be due to the limitations of rendering a full 3d sandbox world with he tech they had) and the combat was awful. Even after leveling you would still only land a hit with melee weapons 1/5 times, and magic was confusing. I still don't fully know how to use it.
All in all, I would stick to Skyrim or Oblivion. It's sad too, I really liked Morrowinds art design. It actually felt like you were in a new, fantasy world rather than just Medieval Europe with monsters like every other fucking RPG.
I would like to see it remade completely on a new engine. I would buy the shit out of that.

What the... Everything you said is wrong. Tons of story, pretty much 0 chance to miss at mid-levels, great and interesting enviroments. Combat was satisfying and fast-paced.
The main quest is leaps better than Oblivion and Skyrim. Ofcourse, to realize this you need to actually read things.
Yeah I think Morrowind is king in the story and lore department, and especially the environments department. That said, the gameplay still annoys me, but the gameplay in all of the Elder Scrolls games (that I've played, never tried Arena or Daggerfall) annoys me a bit since it's hard to balance properly.
I think I should replay Morrowind without using overpowered spells or stealing everything to get an easy start, but honestly, difficulty bars in games always annoy me, and that's one of the things that I think Skyrim did better. Difficulty bars annoy me because I can never tell if it's in in the "right" place. Maybe I'm getting it too easy, but maybe I'm getting too much difficulty. Whereas when you choose one difficulty, the choice is removed and the devs can have an easier time balancing each difficulty.

You were in a new, fantasy world dripping with lore, but you somehow missed that. The plot has got far more to it than the sequels, especially Skyrim's fascinating story of an evil dragon that wants to destroy the world.

I will admit, I didn't play through all of it yet.
The lower levels advanced so sluggishly that I just gave up and bought Oblivion when it was on sale the next day and played that.
I know people will feed me the "it gets better" approach, but first impressions do mean a lot to me. If there is no real promise of fun until later, then why should I slog through it?
But maybe I'm just a twat.
Morrowind was one of the best games I ever played. But after playing Oblivion and a lot of other modern games I have a [i]very[/i] hard time getting back into it these days.
I liked stats in morrowind over skyrim, but the quests/journal/map i disliked.
The combat at the start seriously throws me off. Everything else gets me hard.
Morrowind you are cruel.
I really liked everything in morrowind except the combat, felt like wathever I did I couldn't ever kill anything, really felt flawed to me when I played it... maybe I'm just bad at the game. My favourite tes game by far is Daggerfall, I just loved everything about it.
[QUOTE=Yzooo;37263288]My favourite tes game by far is Daggerfall, I just loved everything about it.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, there's something about Daggerfall that's just amazing to me.
Morrowinds UI was actually pretty great.
Modern console games have a million tabs for everything while in Morrowind you just right click and EVERYTHING is right there.
Skywind anyone? Everything is like morrowind expect the graphics and the combat.
I'd rather stick with Morrowind combat. Having to spend time to become good is much more satisfying to me.
See, I don't have these problems with morrowind.
I have a mage character and I have fired off enough spells, especially on touch ones to always hit and turn shit into dust. Who needs weapons? :v:
stop complaining about morrowinds combat system in every morrowind thread please
its a rpg and thus its statsbased, not difficult to understand. if you want a fighter then choose a race good at fighting and whatever weapon skill you want to use and then use that weapon, and you will find yourself hitting with almost all of your attacks
unless of course , youre stupid
