I loved morrowind. It was like the most interesting and inspired world out of anything. It goes really deep and I could pick any corner of Morrowind and nerd out.
Oblivion and Skyrim are dogshit. Especially Skyrim. The skyrim opening triggers me. I know you’re not a movie Mr Skyrim, you think I’m stupid? Everything just has to be SO immersive. Except what if it doesn’t work, then you’re just the worlds shittiest movie.
sometimes i like eating paste. you should give skyrim a shot imo, it’s kinda shallow but they improved on oblivion for sure
I like the weird background lore of the elder scrolls, but my main draw is that i can turn it into much better games with mods, especially skyrim
i think vanilla is fine. never messed with mods. but the big appeal to me is the open world. i like exploring stuff, foightin’ bandits and other baddies, reading the books (also my favorite part of morrowind!), getting loot (tho none of it is particularly interesting). it’s brainless entertainment and i love it
idk, i never got into them, and any remaining interest dried up when i got into dark souls
Exactly, the fact that the first game has everything so interconnected (the lore, the world map, the mechanics, the seeming futility of it all and the feeling of success in the face of it)
It’s so damn intentional in how it was made
Morrowind on the xbox and later modding on PC was a huge aspect of my fantasy world escapism when I was a teen dealing with dysphoria, I appreciated the lore tangentially. Oblivion was ok, I really got into some of the portal invasion mods, I beat skyrim once and never really cared to come back to it.
Loved fallout 3, and new vegas but see them way differently than fallout 1 & 2. I had to force myself to finish fallout 4.
Didnt try the mmo as I’ve played alot of mmorpgs and knew it wasnt for me at inception.
Now if they made a sandbox mmo with the morrowind character progression mechanics and just focused on cresting a beautiful and canonnically accurate sandbox to roleplay in I would play that in a heartbeat. Would love to make a khajit traveling merchant, or a wood elf apothecary sneaking & charming beasts to get the best ingrediants or make the purest Skooma and etc.
Exactly the plot railroading and uninteresting mechanics made them unappealing. As I type this I did really enjoy the settlement building in fallout 4 but wish there were more interesting factions around that interacted so I could roleplay someone trying to rebuild afterwards, farm, help others, etc. I enjoy that in rust but not the pvp.
