Reason to Play Oblivion Again?

Kestral · Post by **Kestral** » Thu Nov 27, 2008 6:32 pm

For a few months now I haven't played Oblivion.

My reason being is that I feel that Morrowind is better. (Since I got hooked on it, a few months ago) And right now I'm debating myself whether to play Oblivion or not when I can play Morrowind. Can anyone give me a reason to? Or convince me to stick with Morrowind.

/Agree

I like Morrowind for it's lore, gameplay, and for being Morrowind.
I like Oblivion for it's gameplay, combat system, spell system, for being Oblivion, and for being my first TES ever.

All in all: I like them both equal so i obviously never played either.

I love Morrowind for it's setting, story, lore and limitless possibilities

I love Oblivion for its atmosphere, combat system, living world, magic and the shivering isles

Hahaha good one.

Play Morrowind, no reason to switch.

Morrowinds combat is pretty bad, arenas and daggerfalls is so much better, but it depends, morrowind is bigger and more grand, but oblivon is a little smaller but more refined, personnally, i prefer oblvion, roleplaying has opened up tons of possibilities for me, read the wikis roleplaying page, and play oblivion, but Morrowind is good too, i love the both, right now i'm hooked on both, i play oblvion, get bored, play morrowind, get bored, and i repeat,

EDIT: Hows that for a run on sentence, take that Mr.Mackey!

If you're talking about land size, it's the other way around.

It's not like a GoW/GoW2 type switch. It's obvious GoW2 sucks.

On the other hand, Morrow and Oblivion are both equally excellent games with there own little perks and small downsides.

GoW 2 doesn't suck...

I am a definite Oblivion fan myself, I don't know why I prefer it over Morrowind. Maybe I should play Morrowind some time.

"If you like Morrowind more, you're a fanboy, if you like Oblivion more, you're an idiot who can't appreciate lore, if you like them both equally, you obviously haven't played either."

Hmm... I have to say that if you don't see a reason to play Oblivion, don't play it. When you're in Vivec one day, maybe you'll have a sudden urge to play oblivion, I know that happened to me. Do it when you feel like doing it.

Does GoW mean Gears of War?

Yup

And @ Coulsonji: I didn't mean to say that yesterday. I was a little [&@%!] off after playing a few games of lag and getting trashed talked to the point where I wanted to break the game in half

The multiplayer is a bit disappointing, but the campaign and Horde mode were great. I still think GoW is better, though.

Took me ages to do Gow on insane

But i would say oblivion, but i hav not played morrwind, YET, i will get it soon thou!!!
Im quite lookin forward to it!

stick with morrowind if youre hooked.

What i've done is have a morrowind character who i re created in oblivion, only 30 years older, so there was continuity. I would play a plotline in vvardenfell and shoot forwards to the future in oblivion. Then, after a bit in oblivion (for example, healing up in an oblivion realm, lookin at the red skies and lava, our hero remembers an incident in the ashlands many years ago when he stopped to take his bearings near the foyada....) cut to flashback to morrowind.

It's good if you know the games a bit cos you can choose which stories might be interesting to play in parallel and for good role-playing. I haven't reached the end of the games yet but i am interested to find out how he ends up in a cyrodiilic dungeon having been a hero (maybe not?) in morrowind.

off topic:
(I found it hard to get into GOW1 and 2, although they're both fun with friends. I'm totally committed to L4D, it is a race apart. If you like horde on GOW2, you might well like zombiecide. Playing versus mode is something else)

I want to recreate my current character in oblivion in morrowind, when i get it.
But not like what u are doing, sounds awsome!

Mattbott · Post by **Mattbott** » Sat Nov 29, 2008 9:07 pm

yeah, give it a go. There's a bit of planning involved but the wiki here is very useful.

Theres a couple of quests where there's a bit of irony, like when you do the morrowind azure quest and have to kill Staada the Golden saint. In SI she's one of the madgods generals so its a strange reunion
