Why Morrowind is Better Than Oblivion

With the announcement of The Elder Scrolls V and some gentle prodding from a certain Jeff Grubb, I decided now was a good time to put down in words something I've felt strongly about for a number of years. To be clear, I played Oblivion for just shy of 100 hours, starting on the day it came out. I had been frothing at the mouth to get my hands on it, since Morrowind was, and still remains, my favorite game of all time. I enjoyed Oblivion at the time, but my memory of it has since soured. I can't say the same for Morrowind; here's why:

"I Will Not Play The Elder Scrolls V". I don´t care.

RogueCheddar5628d ago

Of course Morrowind is better, everybody knows that

tacosRcool5626d ago

So I have heard that Morrowind is a better game than Oblivion in many ways. But I want to see some of the innovation from Morrowind in Elder Scrolls V. Who knows, that might happen since many people complained about Oblivion

TES: DaggerFall was the best of the series. Biggest open world EVER. Doing things like flying, climbing walls, and turning into things like werewolves and wereboards was just awesome at the time. :)

"I Will Not Play The Elder Scrolls V". I don´t care. So why comment ?

RogueCheddar5628d ago

Anyone who reports this as "lame" is obviously missing the point. This is an article about past Elder Scrolls games and why they don't bode well for the next one. Grow up.

palaeomerus5626d ago

Okay. I must have missed the point then because it comes off as both shrill and lame.

Grow up yourself.

Danniel15626d ago

Its unbelieveably condescending to say anyone who does'nt approve of your article needs to "grow up". The reason some people are taking issue with what you've written is because many of us (myself included) have same type of great memories about Oblivion as you do about Morrowind. On top of that you are openly stating that you wont buy the next game without knowing anything about it apart from the setting.

You are a writer when you submit something to a public forum don't attack people for not liking what you write, criticism is part of writing.

life doomer5628d ago

morrowind is better than oblivion because it has more variaty

RogueCheddar5628d ago

Yeah, that's one of the many reasons. (ps. please approve?)

RedDead5626d ago

I agree with your article mostly, if you change your title I will be happy, I mean come on, what if Skyrm is a cross over of Morrorwind and Oblivion?

I have morrowind and i've had it for a long time, but I just can't get into it from the start. This article has given me a bit of incentive to play it.

They are the things I don't like about Oblivion, the exploration is just sort of the same thing over and over. And the leveling system is terrible, there's mods out to change that though(the leveling system and game world level up). But don't right off SKyrim yet, atleast wait for the game informer news. Biut there are things I also love about Oblivion, the battle system for one, Oblivion isn't bad, it's a great game. It just caught the next gen Rpg flu.

Next gen rpg flu= the first outing of any sequel on a next gen console will not be as good as the previous installment.

RogueCheddar5624d ago

Fair enough, title changed. I was always planning on waiting for the reviews anyway.

SpadedAgent0075626d ago

I think Oblivion is better. Just my opinion of course. Morrowind is def a good game though I give ya that but I dont think Oblivion was a terrible game at all.

palaeomerus5626d ago

Oblivion improved the actual combat (not the skills related to combat and weapons) and the new tomb dungeons were fantastic. it did have less variety in designs. But so what? Buy Shivering Isles and you can have a lot of your crazy tree-fort buildings back.

Morrowind was awesome and so was its add ons, but that does not mean that Oblivion sucked. Far from it. The physics that made stuff bounce around and roll down hill was good. Sure, I miss the airwalk and jump spells. But there was a lot to like about Oblivion including the oblivion gates which I learned to speed run.

Kamikaze85626d ago

Wow, nice article up until the end where he just says that he wont be playing Skyrim. How can you judge a game that isnt out yet? Wait until the reviews if you're pessimistic, but dont rule it entirely out.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio11d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing11d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9211d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit11d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing11d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9211d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
