I legitimately want kirkbride to write everything for the next iteration of elder scrolls so that it becomes loving insane like E.Y.E or something. Look at how much cooler all the weird poo poo he contributed to the game vs the butt-rear end boring poo poo they have now. Bethesda makes incredibly cool worlds and then has no clue how to create gameplay or story. It's infuriating.

Morrowind is basically Africa complete with imperial conquest that exacerbates local tribal animosity for its own profit Morrowind is. Cool as fuk

I always thought the Tsaesci and Akaviri were the east asian analogues or at least the japanese ones. I guess I can see morrowind as China with all of the noble houses and poo poo planted and supported by the empire.

saying that there is a prophecy that someone somewhere at sometime is going to kill a bunch of dudes is a really lame prophecy, gently caress the ashlanders and their lazy rear end soothsaying. in general, the ashlanders were a bunch of manipulative desperate shitheads that deserved zero respect. loving wipe them out and let vvardenfel finally progress *red mountain explodes* hel yes

One thing that molders love to do that is infuriating is to "fix" the game to some weird ideal of what the game is supposed to be like without any actual insight to what makes the game good or not. There are so many dumb immersion/realistic combat mods for skyrim that end up making the game incredibly stressful and generally unplayable. It's like, so I'm in the cold part of skyrim so I should put on a coat or whatever but the game was never made with this kind of immersion in mind. so while you are trying to be Jon snow and pretend you are freezing cold, the rest of the game is lightning paced to keep you moving through bethesdas lame theme park. With morrowind the dumb poo poo modders do is to try and "balance" the game because to them they think that what makes a good game is that it's balanced like dark souls or the witcher. They take no context of the world into their myopic little mod and end up making something that's cool in concept but a chore in practice.

And to answer the guys question who wanted to know the difference between morrowind and skyrim/oblivion is that the game is paced around you as a character and not the world itself. Morrowind is there for you to explore and dig into and come to your own conclusions. You can decide that almsivi are a bunch of gently caress heads who deserve to die or empathize with them. You can think that you actually are the preordained reincarnation of a demigod or that you are just a cleverly placed blind agent of the empire meant to solidify imperial control. And the reason all this ambiguity works is because the game allows you to react. It sets out a series of systems by which you interact with the world and it doesn't break its rules for the sake of some lovely storyline a team of writers crapped out after watching game of thrones. Even when morrowind breaks its systemic rules it denotes something remarkable. Why doesn't Dagoth ur die from just thwapping him with a sword like everyone else? It's because he's tapped into the goddamn fabric of reality and is constantly regenerating. If something like the moon floating over vivec city were to be in skyrim you would enter it after following a breadcrumb of story quests with big fat markers and unkillable NPCs littering the path (not to mention that these NPCs are bland and witless). In morrowind you can go up to that moon whenever if you have a levitation spell. Sure you might not have a story reason to be in there but you can do it anyway. Requiring a story beat to pop up to allow access to an area removes all agency from the player and places its bets on some set piece or voice actor to satiate the player.

In short morrowind rules because of CHIM and you should explore vvardenfel and try to suss out what CHIM is E: and if you don't and you think CHIM is dumb metaphysical pablum to satisfy idiots like us, the game gives you the potential to act on those beliefs without creating dissonance. It's loving super cool. Rexicon1 fucked around with this message at 17:42 on Nov 26, 2014 |

It's an immense cocktease too. I was all excited by that and then the rest of the game is all locked doors that require "a key" for anything actually cool.

I'd agree that the dungeons of morrowind are the weakest part of the game which is a shame. They are absolutely carried by the setting.

It doesn't seem to be actively maintained anymore, but if there is some clique of permanently butthurt losers who are going to threaten to take me to the Supreme Court for copyright infringement of a game mod, I guess I'd like to know that going in. I think you are underestimating the outrageous amount of fluff these mod makers put into their patches.

What the gently caress happened to ogrim, ogres, winged twilights, whatever those meridia daedra are, etc. I'm super bummed too that yagrum bagarn hasn't shown up yet in anything (I never played dragon born dlc so sorry if any of these are in there). Skyrim relied so heavily on boring rear end dragon fights that it forgot to populate the world with actual monsters.

Prism Mirror Lens posted:i kinda just assumed that morrowind was full of daedric ruins/daedra because daedra worship in morrowind is pretty mainstream, so people were throwing up non-euclidean hellbuildings and summoning little demons all over the place all the time. Plus Morrowind is full of assholes like when you pick up a diamond in a shrine and some dick has made it summon a dremora. in cyrodiil and skyrim they're all pussies who cant stop banging on about the nine/eight divines so there'es not as much stuff going on If I recall correctly there are quite a few daedric ruins in skyrim. They just decided to populate them all with vampires and zombies instead of actual cool monsters.
