A while back, I was talking to some people at a bar and the discussion turned to Skyrim Vs Oblivion, with Oblivion being the table's preference due to being less dumbed down than Skyrim. I chipped in something like "if that's what you like about games, then Morrowind's where it's at", to which someone quipped "you're showing your age there".
I admit, I took a little bit of psychic damage from that. I'm only 29, so pretty young compared to most Morrowind fans, but I was the second oldest person in this discussion. Part of me still thinks of Zoomers as teenagers
I want to go to your bar
also, I'm older than you but haven't played morrowind yet. been waiting until I can set aside a few hours a week reliably
Be careful with that. Morrowind is one of those games that it is very easy to lose hours of time, and not notice. I set timers now.
yeah that's why I'm waiting until I have time lol, so when that happens I don't care. just gotta rotate out some hobbies after I get some projects done first
Just set aside 26 hours a day for Morrowind and you’ll be fine.
If you run linux, try OpenMW!
Hmm I could point you to a bar where that discussion could reasonably take place. Bit far for you if you're Canadian though.
Now available for Android!
Oblivion is enough of a disaster implementation-wise that technically having greater mechanical complexity doesn't concern me in the slightest. And Oblivion's writing is, to me, a low point in both the series and Bethesda's body of work as a whole. Skyrim's writing isn't amazing, but the moment-to-moment gameplay being less frustrating gives it the win for me, between the two.
Morrowind is great, though. Probably the best world building I've seen in a game.
