Have only played Oblivion....thinking about trying Morrowind

[Avian]

Well the thread title says it all. Oblivion was my introduction to the Elder Scrolls games, but after hearing so much about it I'm really interested in trying Morrowind.

My question is....will I be able to enjoy it after being "spoiled" by the superior graphics and whatnot of Oblivion?

[Leilah]

Well, there are a couple of big differences in the gameplay, but once you get ued to them, and to the older graphics, it is a wonderful game, well worth buying. Just give yourself a few hours to adjust. Morrowind has more quests, is easier to immerse yourself in and has more things that you need to go out and look for.

Also, I think this might belong in Morrowind but I'm not sure.

[Avian]

Thanks. And yes, I wasn't sure which forum to post this in.

I'll be playing the game on Xbox360, so I can probably get Morrowind GOTY for pretty cheap. I figure it's worth a shot, and I've been really curious to experience all the cool things I've heard about it. I think I'll do it

If you're getting it for the xbox360 then only settle for the GOTY edition, if that one gets sold before you get it- don't buy another unless it's a Goty!! I have Morrowind goty on Pc and the original on 360... the original sucks compared to the GOTY, simply having the enemie's health bar is a major bonus!

But yes you must get it, I started with Morrowind before Oblivion and personally I still preffer Morrowind over Oblivion.

Thanks for the advice! I'll hold out for GOTY edition.

I too played Oblivion before Morrowind. I'll warn you now: the combat is waaaay more different than Oblivion's.

[RobotNixon]

I personally prefer the PC version, but what ever takes your fancy is fine, as long as it's Morrowind.

I bought Morrowind recently for my pc (GOTY) for €1,50. it is way harder than oblivion because of the dialogues; you never really read all topics, the quests; same design as in oblivion but the journal is harder to manage and you don't have a quest marker.

still, I find the world more impressive than in oblivion, as with the depth of the game. which is enourmous

[Sonixboom]

depends, do u use fast travel alot? do you care if you spend 50% of your time xploring. Also the mission log isnt as good and theres no map markers

all in all a GREAT game though (throwing stars RULE)

I recently ordered some things for my computer to run Morrowind. I played it a little but quit because it was mind-numbingly slow. I kept dying because it didn't always register my attacks, but when it did it became obvious to me that the combat in Morrowind is harder than in Oblivion.

I went ahead and picked it up (GOTY edition) off Amazon for about $15 plus shipping. Pretty cheap, so even if I don't care for it I haven't lost much. Looking forward to giving it a shot!

Remember to forget everything you knew about Oblivion when you play it. It can be very fun at times, playing the game like it was meant to. I picked up a way of playing it from Cactus; which is in a thread in the Morrowind forum.

[Mattbott]

it is strange, but morrowind is a bit like 'advanced oblivion' despite it coming before.
The plot is more immersive and requires more attention, the game interfaces are usually less user friendly (esp the journal); the character generation and enchanting/spell systems give you many more options but are less polished/simplified than Ob.
So get ready to nerdify yourself in the mw system, there's a lot to learn but you'll be able to do much more. It's no way as gently levelled as Ob which is scary the first time but really great fun once you know the game a bit. Vvardenfell is truly dangerous and that makes it a very interesting place

Oh, you can also fly so bear that in mind when dungeoneering.

also the graphics get a bit brown after a while, so keep a photo of some grass and clouds near your 360 just in case

My sentiments 'zactly. The graphics on my laptop SUCK.

Well, with a decent computer, some mods,
and A LOT of love, Morrowind is the most beautiful game EVAR!

Until you get to The Shivering Isles.
