I never heard of elder scrolls until oblivion (I'm gen x). But I couldn't get into when I did try it. Outdated graphics and no nostalgia for it wasn't for me. Now if you put a space quest Infront of me I'll play them all straight through 1-6

Ziv Zulander posted:Yeah that’s the fun of it. Janky rear end impenetrable bullshit that just breaks itself in half if you put in the effort to learn it None of this is even close to correct. Morrowind combat & game mechanics suck, and the way that they suck is never good even when you break them. It's fun to break them because you feel you're getting one over on the game, but that still doesn't make them at all good. It's cool if you enjoy the way they suck, I do too because I also have a ton of nostalgia for the game. And there's a certain aspect where janky & bad & breakable is better than the mediocre of later ES games. Combat isn't super fun in Skyrim either. But on any objective sense it's not good. Morrowind is good and one of the top RPGs of all time because it's one of about 10 games from that era with a good story & writing.

If you like Morrowind put Darklands on your wishlist on steam, it goes on sale for like $2 bucks and it definitely gives the same vibe as Morrowind. big rear end world, just plops you into it, doesn't hold your hand for poo poo. good luck even trying to figure out how to convert all the moon german currencies or even tell what time it is when monks tell you to be somewhere at three vespers. then a witch may curse you and shrink your dick

Morrowind is so easy to the point of being relaxing, especially because of the music. quick edit: And if you have an hard time just come back later and do something else.

I really liked the pilgrimage quest, would usually join the Temple just for that. IMO every main faction should have something like that early on as an excuse to open up the map a bit and see the sights.

both the temple questlines are legit as hell and some of my fav things in the game. i like the imperial cult being an irrelevant foreign religion with no money that's basically achieving nothing besides scrounging corkbulb from farmers etc. plus occasionally plundering the odd dungeon. and the tribunal temple at the other end of the scale being a big, highly-ritualised machine with zealous ordinators a top-heavy bureaucratic management who have wandered so far away from the tribunal gods that they don't notice when one of them disappears and another goes mad. and you get to do the thing where you taunt the daedra i also like the fact that the imperial cult is true and you meet talos in a bar that one time. i mean "weak-theology polytheistic religion that nobody gives a poo poo about any more turns out to be true" is a pretty well worn fantasy trope but still

The Temple is probably my favorite Morrowind faction. The quests are really good. The Sanctus pilgrimage is fun if you don't cheese it. Having to walk from Vivec all the way up to near Dagon Fel without fast travel is pretty rowdy.

Balmora is my home. I usually take Ralen Hlaalu's mansion. the one with the dead guy whose body serves as a bottomless chest. Zainab Camp and Hla Oad are my favorite towns in the game though.

Classic Comrade posted:seems a lil more daggerfall-esque than morrowind tbh probably true. but to me what made morrowind feel really special was how much freedom and lack of real direction you have right from the beginning of the game (thats also daggerfall I guess). the mechanics in the two games are very different but in darklands you can day 1 start robbing people, or try mixing up your own alchemist brews as a basement/garage wizard, or just go pray a bunch in the church and see if you can get some jesus powers, and when you get quests it doesn't mark poo poo on a map but you better listen and write some notes ("witches have their evil cabal south of xxx in the winter"). the character creation system is also a ton of fun to play with. anyway back to morrowind - the main menu music will be seared into my brain for all time, what a great little tune Captain Beans fucked around with this message at 14:35 on Aug 12, 2021 |

Darklands also has the best character creation system of all time. It's super deep and almost all of the skills are useful in some way or another. It's a really tough game and it's from 1992, but it plays a LOT smoother than you'd expect a game from 1992 to be. Granted, it's not smooth by today's standards, but you can figure out combat fairly quickly by beating up weak bandits in the first town. It's really, really, really good and worth trying for 2 bucks. Maybe it will grab you. And to Beans, Serpent In The Staglands is a game that you may like. It's not exactly like Darklands in that you take a more linear path through the game. But the combat and tone is definitely Darklands inspired. It's hard but it's good.

Darklands had an absolutely enormous budget and the length of its development was very abnormal for the time. It reflects in the game itself. It's one of the most "complete" feeling RPGs in existence and realizes its setting and worldbuilding in a way that I haven't seen so well reflected mechanically in anything outside of like Kind of Dragon Pass.

it was before my time but this forum made me curious, so I installed, ran to the city, crafted the spells/potions that give you infinite flight and fireballs, and flew around burning things for about half an hour 3.5 out of 5

House Redoran having a big crab base rules and it's also a got a nice Temple. It's also got a nice central location where you can go North or South on the map easily via fast travel and it's got the Mages guild for teleportation as well.

Definitely looks like its going for a Darklands/Ultima vibe. Loving that the steam reviews blast it for being too hard, thats fine. Darklands is hard as balls and I'll 100% never 'beat' the game but it was still fun as hell

Kenshi is a good game if you want a weird and alien setting to explore, very little forced narrative, and a janky stats system to break over your knee
