Favorite quest anyone?
I've always been partial to whodunit.

.. I hope Bethesda can recapture the personality present in Oblivion in a future entry. A Night to Remember was close, and so was the Thieves Guild questline. But all the rest lacked the presence.

Am I just being a pretentious shit, /v/? Or am I on to something? I feel like I'm close to being able to put it into words.

Maybe I am being a nostalgiafag, but does anyone else think that Oblivion's outdated graphics make it more immersive? The more 'realistic' and 'gritty' a game tries to appear, the more it drifts away from the comfy fantasy feeling. There was just something about those uncanny faces coupled with those environments that made it an unforgettable experience.

I actually think my favourite thing about Oblivion is you are not the chosen one, you arnt a god or whatever. You are a normal fucking guy, doing adventures, errands, making money etc.....

What happened to radiant AI in Skyrim? Did it even exist?

In Oblivion the NPCs really felt like they had lives, some of them would go on journeys far across the map to see their friend or w/e

In Skyrim I don't even remember the NPCs going to sleep.
>>
>>376605065
But that's exactly why. If Oblivion were your first TES you wouldn't have been spoiled by a superior experience, allowing you to enjoy it for what it is rather than be disappointed by everything it isn't. It wouldn't feel watered down in the slightest if it were your first RPG. On the contrary, it would be a much more complex and open game than just about everything else you played up to that point.

Look, I get it. You showed up late to the party and started hyping an inferior game. It's ok, we were all children at one point. But it's time to grow up and accept the truth: Oblivion was a watered down console game that signaled the turning point in the decline of TES

There was also some ring glitch to permanently add points into your stats. I remember doing that over and over until my character could run so fast and jump so high he could clear buildings and towers. It became a problem after a while though because there were times that going sanic fast made doing some things harder.

Been playing tes since daggerfall up to fallout 4.
Oblivion is the most comfy and entertaining game in the series with best music, cute fantasy like world and truly weak main quest but who gives a fuck about main quest.
Also best addon in series.

Since when did we start calling truth 'defending the game'? Those are facts, not some fanboy gibberish.
>>
Quick question
How do I make Morrowind fun to play?

I love the setting and the details, but playing it is such a slog. The movement feels weird and the combat is just frustrating.
I'm levelled to the point where I don't miss every other attack but that does nothing to stop every person, plant and animal wanting me dead for being in the same square mile. I though Cliffracers were just a meme.
I'm using the enhanced first person mod to add headbob so movement feels a bit more natural (if more nauseating)

skyrim improved upon oblivion in every fucking way besides trimming some rpg elements out (which were barely intact after morrowind anyway)

>no potato faces

>unique handcrafted world in the vein of morrowind, with multiple regions that actually differ in landscape (not just the same grass/trees painted a different color)
>"fixed" level scaling (still there to an extend, but cuts off at a reasonable point)

Skyrim is just what oblivion wanted to be, if bethesda had the budget at the time (and weren't completely gutting their game for "next gen" consoles)
>>
>>376602064
You can do it without modding or whatever. What you do is:
- Make a character with Illusion as a major skill
- Go to Bravil
- Grind Illusion up to 100
- Buy a decent Invisibility spell
- Trigger the Oblivion invasion
- Run Gates for Sigil Stones with Chameleon (you can save scum: the Stone you get is determined when it's added to your inventory, so save just before taking it)
- Enchant gear to Chameleon 100
Now you'll never enter combat again.

you dont. some games just fun in the core, like deus ex or system shock 2. you can have fun in them. Morrowind is not the same, you either played it before oblivion was released or download terabytes of modes and still wont make it playable.

Being an illusionist will help you pacify wild animals.
Crafting alchemy potions or using normal spells can make you outright invisible.

this is the only thing skyrim did better, while also having a *single* handcrafted dungeon (blackreach) that really is just another underwhelming stealth grind of falmer

still had worse combat, magic, spellmaking, skills, towns, cities, NPCs, guilds, side quests, daedric quests, and series gimmick (oblivion gates >>> dragons imo). all you got in skyrim was a decent overworld with no good stories to keep you immersed and dumbed down gameplay to make it even more boring
>>
>>376615153
I agree to some extent. It was fun for what it was and had some enjoyable moments, but the overall atmosphere was lacking compared to any of the other games. It felt like generic Tolkien fantasy. I suppose if it had been released after Daggerfall, I wouldn't have been as bothered by it but with Morrowind feeling so alien, Cyrodiil felt lacking.

It had some great quests, though.

this, it's such a slog to play, you literally have to be <12 to enjoy it

there's nothing in the overworld in terms of visuals, it's all the same. There's nothing in the overworld in terms of enemies, just bandits and wolves.

And the dungeons, fuck, the dungeons are all entirely the same, every cave looks the same, every fort looks the same and there's never anything to find save for enemies and random chests strewn around.

It's like playing one game stretched over 10 ten times because "muh next gen consoles games gotta be big" so there's just endless fields of repetitious shit and nothing interesting to find or interact with

>It felt like generic Tolkien fantasy
I will never, ever understand this criticism. I was the biggest lotr fanboy prior to Oblivion (which was my first TES game) and I loved Oblivion for how different it felt to anything I'd ever played. The Aylied ruins showed a world that was eons old and whos history wasn't fully understood. The way that the different races had characteristics is unlike any other fantasy or sci fi property I can think of. The religious aspect is played far more importantly than in any other fantasy property I'd ever seen, especially in lotr. and the hell like depiction of the daedra in Oblivion was much more of christian mythology than any kind of lotr copying. In fact I cant think of a single property of Oblivion that it shares with lotr.

Reminds me of the first dark brotherhood quest. Instead of taking the roads I just booked it through the forest.

I had no idea how long he'd been following, and didn't realize that enemies could follow you through cells.

I feel different about Morrowind's overworld.

It has some interesting biomes and visuals, and the world feels the right size to me once you level up your speed. There's plenty of fun little things to do travelling between cities (apart from the ashlands).
But the cities are a lot more boring than later games. There's no interesting quests from random NPCs, only directions. Vivec is the worst contender with its horrible architecture in the cantons and empty streets.

The problem is that it's not fun to play. Having rats and cliffracers chase you cross-country because they spotted you a mile away is just annoying and break the immersion.

>your brain is capable of more quickly discerning symbols
good thing your brain reads words as individual symbols and can directly understand them faster than translating a visual image into a word. small icons where all of them are the same shape with very few variations in color on a black background are objectively less easy to read then text organized menus

something like the darnified Oblivion is a much, much better inventory system than Morrowind. They can show more information on the screen at once while also being easier to organize and quickly find what you want

Bullshit. Icons are much better for mouse dragging. Text was only used in old CRPG's because monitor resolutions made icon-based inventories infeasible.

Why do NuMales prefer Morrowind to Daggerfall? Because Morrowind is so "le quirky"? Morrowind isn't alien. It's the Middle East, but with some monsters and mushrooms. I'm not sure what sort of shut-in thinks that is alien. Even the ash storms are just desert sand storms. It's pathetic, NuMalewind cucks are pathetic.

I mean look at this shit. It would take maybe 10x as long to get the information from a similar amount of objects as are displayed here. and you can only look at one object at a time. look at how much more intuitive sorting is in a text based inventory as well; click on gold, weight, damage, and it all ranks it from high to low or vice verse. You can do the same in the icon based inventory but then they aren't sorted vertically or by class, so your eyes have to reinterpret all of the images at once instead of just jump to the small list of items you know you're already looking for and can compare all of them directly
>>
>>376619307
ok, for comparing multiple items against eachother you have a point. for literally every other use of inventory it's flawed by comparison. but you almost never needed the data in that spreadsheet format for multiple sets of items, you were most commonly comparing what you have vs what you looted to see if it's better.
>>
>>376619308

>>
>>376619816
>for literally every other use of inventory it's flawed by comparison
there is *literally* no other use for an inventory. not one. LITERALLY nothing else is done in an inventory in TES games. You need a specific item for a situation, you have to sort and compare your inventory to find the right one. it's easier and better to have items sectioned off by category and listed in a comparative way for every single time you will need to view your items.

I don't care about his argument. I didn't even read it. All Bethesda games are trash and they will never make a good one.

That looks aesthetically pleasing compared to the soulless excel list. Seeing all your item icons like that gives some kind of a fuzzy warm feeling, that's why exactly people like inventory tetris and things like that. They feel more immersive.

Morrowind was my first Elder Scrolls game and I got it shortly after it was released. I remember my brother saying how shitty it was compared to Daggerfall. Then I also saw him put over 100 hours into Morrowind too.
>>
>>376619965
>You need a specific item for a situation, you have to sort and compare your inventory to find the right one
That's what you have to do when it's in list format. Need ring A? look there it is. Need ring B? look there it is. no sorting or organizing necessary. once your brain makes the association with the symbol, you know it's the item you want. You don't have to read a fucking list to access it. morrowind even had basic inventory categories to reduce potential clutter for icons. the argument of "my eyes suck and i cant tell these symbols apart" is not a decent basis for organization

I'm only telling my opinion on it. Chill the fuck out. Inventory management is the part of autistic satisfaction I get from the games. When you have icon based inventory all the items feel like actual items when you drag them around and they make some clicking sound. It doesn't feel the same at all with lists and no 3d model sideview can fix that.

oh yeah and the canned animations for sex mods are awful.

i wish sex mods were something less game breaking, that there was a real challenge to courting someone and that it had real effects. Maybe it could be a tool to upset factions and get people out of the picture, maybe it could help you get benefits and manipulate NPCs, maybe it could land you a bad reputation or even a bounty, i'd love if they were more RPG minded in general instead of "suddenly the cyrodiil was littered with sex slaves dressed as modern schoolgirls lactating magic"

You are correct I literally can't, because you will dismiss anything. You are one of those ignorant people who will never admit when they are wrong and there is no point in arguing. State precisely what is proof enough and I will look for it. As it stands you will just keep moving your goalposts.
