hello,

I'm Undead(-)Necro and I was (am since a week or 3) very active on tes oblivion but I never played morrowind.
My question is "are the graphics/gameplay of morrowind so outdated that I wouldn't enjoy playing it anymore?

Morrowind isn't outdated at all, with a decent graphics card and a few visual enhancements you'd swear you're playing oblivion, and the gameplay is even better, however you should expect the game to be a bit... different.

Does morrowind have console?

If you can deal with a lil worse graphics, then you will love the extra depth that comes with Morrowind.

I have seen oblivion and it just cant compare to Morrowind. Everyone here will agree with me on this.

Oblivion in my own opinion, is alot like fable, while Morrowind....is just Morrowind!

The replayability in Morrowind is ecstatic compared to oblivion. Do what you want, when you want, wherever you want.

Actually, ive been a long time player, but had to stop do to the xbox crashing, picked one up yesterday and saw oblivion for the low price of 30 bones, i was thinkin about gettin it, but i was like hell! i can just play Morrowind for free, and it will be alot more fun!

Basically how much is a used Morrowind? like 10-15 bones. You cant go wrong with a price like that, and its ten times better, trust me.

*edit* Yes it has the console...

Not entirely, morrowind with a few visual mods will actually look as good as oblivion, but yes the standard graphics are a bit outdated.

Oh yes. But forget about it except for correcting a few problems that may come up. It is easy to become addicted to solving problems the easy way.

With a few good mods, especially worldwide mods like Darker Morrowind, the whole place looks much better, and better heads really makes the characters detailed. The graphics are still really good, but it could be just me since I'm playing Arena and enjoying it

What i meant when i said, "I have seen oblivion" i wasnt talking about the graphics, i was talking about everything, and as in, it cant compare to how much better morrowing is.

My freind hates Morrowind, and do you know why? Because he said there was too MUCH freedom....yes thats right..people actually like neverwinter nights...i shudder to think about it

You mean he actually likes trying to walk threw invisable walls?

I've downloaded a demo and i've come to the conclusion that the graphics aren't that outdated and that the fighting system is really weird. I don't know about this. I'll try playing it for a few days extra but i don't think I'm gonna like this

Where did you get the Morrowind demo from?

Weird? if you dont like having to move in a certain direction to do an attack, theres an option in the options menu that lets you always use your best attack.

I remembered the first time i played the game, i didnt like the fighting system either.....i couldnt hit anything(I was a mage, using a long sword with no skill points in long sword)

Just google "morrowind demo"

Yes, I did, and they were all file sharing = Illegal.

That was what Rohugh meant. There is no "Legal" Morrowind Demo. If there was a "Legal" download, then he would know about it, if anyone does.

http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/media_movies.htm

That is the only legal place to get downloads, as far as I know. The one exception is downloads purchased via direct2drive. The key there, is Purchased.

Now if by chance, you did find a "Legal" place to download a Morrowind Demo, then please post the link where you got it from. Otherwise, you have Illegal Pirated Software. That is "Strongly" Against Forum Rules.

I am tired of having to go over this all the time. I do not care what your beliefs are on this subject. My beliefs on this subject do not matter either. What does matter is that it is against the Forum Rules to discuss it. Whatever you do at your own home, with your own computer, or console, is your own business. It does not get discussed here.

what do you mean by weird fighting system? what is weird about it?

Every attack I do misses Its getting better now but I still think it's annoying (?)

I know where you stand if its about piracy jeff and we're not going to have this confersation again. Last time I tryed (?) to show my point I got a few nice mails from a moderator

Thats because it takes a while to increase your fighting skills (like shortsword, blunt weapon etc.). Every attack is based on chance. This determines whether you hit your target or not. The higher your skill level, the higher your chance of dealing damage. At the start it is very annoying as you have very low skills but eventually it will become rare to miss when your skills get high enough.

Also a major factor.....Is your stanima close to being full? if its not, then your chances of hitting decrease alot.

This also works for spells, only when a spell is cast successfully it will always hit anything within the area of effect.

ok i had that problem too when i first played the game. later on however with propper character creation you can make a cgharacter with major skill in something for example marksmanship. add a race to that with bonus in that skill and propper sign and you will end up starting with character who has 30+ in marksmanship. this is enough to more or less hit things.

all you now need is restore fatigue potions and you are good to go.

same goes with other weapons. once you get them over about 30 you are hitting them quite well (at leats easier oponents).

problem is because people (like me for example) don't create a "propper" character when they first play the game. basically you need to choose what will be your main weapon before the game and then shape the character accordingly.

There are complicated guidelines to creating a character, but for newbs this should be enough. If you're trying to create a well-rounded character you should just search for any thread here about character creation, that way we won't have to repost everything most of us allready know.
If you still have questions after that I'd be glad to help.

My wood elf started with a lvl 40 marksmen

Hah, My character started with 85 Agility and 50 Marksmanship!

Nice, so you must sit infront of the booklet/website for a good half hour before you pick your stuff to get as many bonus's like me huh?
