[QUOTE=VIOLATION_SNG;47215059]you're freaking out over a combat system that was limited by its time and meant to replicate a certain style of play[/QUOTE] To be fair, the least that could have been added in were a couple of dodging or missing animations to at least make it a wee bit more immersive. Besides the animation, not that difficult to implement and not that taxing.
I think the combat system for Morrowind doesn't work simply because it's first person and not turn based, so the concept of dice rolls determining your hits just doesn't work that well for it, especially in an age of proper 3D models instead of sprites like the previous two games. The idea itsself is not bad, and given the DnD roots it's understandable why this design choice was made. It just doesn't work that well for that kind of game. In my mind if you're doing it in real time and actually give me the agency to move close to someone and swing at them, it should hit when it looks like it's hitting. The damage, however, should still be determined by dice rolls, and everything else like skill checks should still be determined by dice rolls. However, you gotta remember that Morrowind came off two older games that used a system like that without much problem, since back then that kind of combat worked fine. Obviously if you think the combat system is shit, you're entitled to that thought, but you gotta remember where it exists in terms of the other games in the series and other games that were out at the time. You gotta judge it in the right context, you can't really impose the same standards on it now that you would current games

[QUOTE=Primigenes;47215145]It doesn't change it. The fact you managed to say this shows you're missing the whole fucking point. A first person game shouldn't even have dice roll mechanics in the background forcing you to miss hits that you've aimed. You just said "By succumbing to the games bad combat system I know longer have to spam left click in the fear of randomly missing" Ok its fine, let me swear does it fucking matter? You're still responding to me like my posts are readable. Call me up when my swearing gets in the way of you understanding my fucking posts and I'll consider it. Otherwise I don't fucking care[/QUOTE] jeez louise man the entire game is balanced around this concept and it came out 13 years ago? get one of those mods that makes every attack hit and you'll see that the game becomes a cakewalk. your enemies obey the same rules as you, and fights are never too big a deal. of all the stuff i'm not a fan of in morrowind, the combat system is actually one thing i really like. [editline]awec[/editline] [QUOTE=Primigenes;47215145] You just said "By succumbing to the games bad combat system I know longer have to spam left click in the fear of randomly missing" [/QUOTE] actually no i said "by learning the way this game's mechanics work you can properly build a character to quickly alleviate the obstacle of randomly missing"
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck why so vulgar
man even though i can't get into it i greatly appreciate Morrowind WAYYYY more than Skyrim. that game has some fantastic atmosphere and world-building to it.
Why would you judge a game that came out 13 years ago with the same standards you would a game in 2015
[QUOTE=HWECQI;47215200]Why would you judge a game that came out 13 years ago with the same standards you would a game in 2015[/QUOTE] either way morrowind holds up in lots of ways? soundtrack, atmosphere, level design, world design in general, writing etc. etc. [editline]25th February 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Primigenes;47215208]You're finally getting the point. It came out 13 fucking years ago and its balanced around a specific concept that wouldn't work in today's age. And we're talking about the game without mods in comparison to its successor in the line of TES games. I like how this devolved from being about being about Skyrim vs Morrowind vs Oblivion to me disrespecting a fucking game lmao. But whatever the tides of conversation shifts. If someones going to reply to me with fan baby Morrowind shit I'm not even going to respond. So far you've just been continually saying things without fucking substance and its boring the shit out of me.[/QUOTE] oh my gosh dude i am not a morrowind fanboy how many times i gotta say this. you are bad at the video game that is all accept it.
[QUOTE=TheWhiteFox1;47215210]either way morrowind holds up in lots of ways? soundtrack, atmosphere, level design, world design in general, writing etc. etc.[/QUOTE] It holds up nowadays in every department except where the gameplay is concerned. I mean, you can still enjoy it a lot if you put yourself in the right mindset for it, but playing through it again recently I find I don't have as much fun with it as I do Oblivion or Skyrim (or even some other RPG's from the time for that matter), although I enjoy Skyrim for completely different reasons than I do Oblivion and Morrowind. But yeah, it has the best environment out of all the games period, having the most variance and most well defined atmosphere (Oblivion really feels confused beyond just being a bright fantasy game and Skyrim just wants to feel like Game of Thrones). Music is the most memorable, and for the most part it has stronger writing.
[QUOTE=Primigenes;47215261]What are you even fucking saying? If people are comparing it to Skyrim then I have to make an accurate comparison. Skyrim was released 4 years ago and that is somewhat similar to today standard of games. [B]Morrowind came out 13 years ago and has worse mechanics then Skyrim because of it.[/B] If Morrowind's combat wouldn't hold up in a game that was released today then what does that say about the game's combat as opposed to Skyrim? And yes Morrowind is 13 years old which leads back to the original point of "Why compare it to Skyrim"[/QUOTE] idk i kinda prefer morrowind's mechanics tbh? in skyrim you can easily just become a master of all trades but in morrowind you actually need to make your character with a focused approach and i ended up getting much more into it as a result. really my biggest issue with morrowind is just how extremely slow-burning of a game it is.
[QUOTE=Prismatex;47215156]colonial argument[/QUOTE] To be fair, the way decolonization was handled was very poor. It should have been paced out over time and integrated European institutions with native ones so that a stable government would persist after independence (such as in Botswana), rather than immediately breaking down into war and revolution (like the Congo).

The way you were talking seemed like you were completely judging it as a modern game and getting mad with it for reasons that wouldn't really be applicable at the time. I don't really find Skyrim's combat objectively better either though to be honest. I have a hard time really drawing a good comparison to them because when I play Morrowind, I usually play Morrowind BECAUSE I want to get into the stats and numbers. That's what makes it fun for me, being able to put the right numbers where they need to go to make a character that just destroys everything. I play Skyrim because I want to explore and I want to feel immersed and just do things. The combat works fine for that because I'm not really caring about the numbers and I'm just having fun slashing at things. Because of that I can't really say that Morrowind's combat is the worst thing ever, because both only work well in their intended circumstances. I would never want Morrowind to have Skyrim's combat, and I'd never want Skyrim to have Morrowind's.

[QUOTE=Prismatex;47215156]*jab at moustacheman*[/QUOTE] He's not [I]completely[/I] wrong though. I was born in Zimbabwe, and my family can vouch for how good it was when it was called Rhodesia, and how good it is now. Rhodesia was racist as shit and still a pretty unsafe place to live in, but it was actually doing very well, it used to be the breadbasket of Africa, it was making huge dosh with exports, it [I]used[/I] to be doing well. Now that Mugabe has come into power, he has single-handedly run the country into the ground. His policies of forcibly evicting every white person who owns property at gunpoint screwed the economy over because white people were running all those farms. He also inadvertently cleared the debt they owed on those farms, too. However badly it was doing under the European rule, it wasn't doing as badly as it is under Mugabe. The country is a complete mockery. These days, I hate saying I was born there to people, because there's a good chance that they'll spout that dumb meme with Sheldon
So yeah, subject change..... OCD is a mental health problem and you would feel great anxiety if something is out of place/untidy/whatever your OCD is. OCD DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT "ANNOYS" YOU.
[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;47214355]idk man normally i'd be willing to argue but if you seem a bit too convinced for anything i say to change your mind[/QUOTE] That depends on what you want to argue about. If your point is that we have to be identical to one another to be truly equal then yeah it would be quite hard to convince me of that. If you only say that because you're uncomfortable questioning your beliefs though, that's too bad. [QUOTE=Prismatex;47215142]Sex-positive feminism != objectification of women.[/QUOTE] No doubt these are two wholly different concepts. My point though is that you can't objectively claim that a piece of media objectifies women unless the author clearly and directly states that women shouldn't be considered as humans. Otherwise it just boils down to interpretation. Edit: If you don't want to argue to convince me, do it in order to strengthen your viewpoint and make it logicproof.

[QUOTE=greeley;47216685]So yeah, subject change..... OCD is a mental health problem and you would feel great anxiety if something is out of place/untidy/whatever your OCD is. OCD DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT "ANNOYS" YOU.[/QUOTE] I've had to go through severe obsessive compulsive disorder and it ruined my life for 3 years, but I really don't mind people saying they're OCD about something because not all words mean the same thing. Same level as getting upset when someone uses the word "Depressed" when they're just a bit sad. I don't really think it demeans the word at all because everyone should know the difference when someone is saying OCD has ruined their life and when someone says they're a little OCD about how they organize their bookshelves.
[QUOTE=usaokay;47214992]Star Wars is better than Star Trek.[/QUOTE] Apart from being sci-fi, they're very different series.
Star Wars isn't even sci-fi, it's more Science Fantasy.

I don't think I can watch Invader Zim again. It was funny when I was a kid and thought the "so randoom" humor was solid gold, but now I'm older and cringe when I see comedy like that played seriously. Plus that humor is way too prevalent and impossible to ignore while watching IZ and it's certainly rubbed off onto a majority of the fan base for worse.
