...I mean honestly, this is my favourite game of all time. I'm not even afraid to say that I had Oblivion on the 360. I got 200 beautiful hours out of that thing. Dragon Age eat your heart out. Nothing holds a candle to Oblivion.

All that being said, I've seen it thrown about recently that I really should give Morrowind a second chance. I had that on the original Xbox and it didn't really hold my attention first time around.  It was ugly, dark and that journal was absolutely useless. But by the sounds of it the PC version really makes the difference.

Anyway, it just so happens that my friend had The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Game of the Year Edition gathering dust on his shelf. And that's now on my shelf, hehe. So my question here is, what mods should I be looking for to turn Morrowind into the beautiful and amazing game it ought to be? ^_^

Actually, I think I might opt out of the extra quests for the time being. I opened that box, saw the Morrowind Map for the first time in a long while and remembered that actually, this game was massive. The first time around I did waste a lot of hours in Morrowind all without advancing the main questline past Balmora, heh.



Seems like a foolish dream that I might actually complete the game this time around >.< Nonetheless, Morrowind is going to be looking a lot prettier from now on. Cheers for pointing me in the right direction ;-)

Despite all of its faults, Morrowind is one of my favorite games of all time. Didn't really like Oblivion. Just seemed like a lot of 'go fetch this item at this location and bring it back' quests. And the compass pointed right where you needed to go. Kind of annoying, took all the exploration out of the game.

You could always use mods to remove the compass and fast travel, there's plenty of them out there.

While I enjoyed Oblivion, it doesn't hold a candle to DA in terms of story and characters.

Don't forget the clunky controls and terrible, terrible graphics.

I could argue the same about DA. <_<

IMO Oblivion is a great palette cleanser. You play it for about 5 hours between game and it's a blast. Just don't touch the main story. Worst, game story, ever.



Morrowind's evironments and gear looked spectacular at release, but the base character models were always horrible.

I'm actually a little puzzled by all the love Oblivion gets. I've been playing TES games since Arena was released in the early/mid '90s, and I felt like for its time Oblivion was perhaps the weakest title in the series. I mean, Arena wasn't fantastic, but it was a cool change of pace for its time. Without mods Oblivion didn't hold my interest past 30-40 hours, and the main quest was unbearably tedious and uninteresting. The combat was repetitive, the setting was painfully cliche (monsters like Minotaur look like something out of a children's book or...well...Daggerfall) Don't even get me started on the level and loot scaling. It's big, it's pretty, but that facade gets old quickly. Unmodded I give it a 6/10 for being a big sack full of polished meh.

+1

Oblivion got the fanboys by releasing it to a mass-market in a way that it didn't before.

Oblivion is a distinctly average RPG in my opinion. Dragon Age pips it by a decent margin.

No, just no.

Anyway I tried out Morrowind again. Alas, it didn't hold me. No matter what you do, it's still an eight year old game and I struggled to get back into it :-\\

Still, I have since had the pleasure of watching a 7 minute play through of Morrowind, which is absolutely sublime. I've also seen a speedrun of Oblivion that had me cursing the skies and glitchers the world over. To think I could have so easily avoided all the farce of closing those Oblivion gates!

I enjoy both games for different reasons as both fulfill different nitches in the RPG gaming catagories. I have been playing oblivion since day one and still play it.I have modded for that game for almost two years and have a website dedicated totally to it and new mods.
I have enjoyed playing DAO and find it fulfilling but not in the same manner as Oblivion.Your comparing apples to oranges and that never works.I hope to eventually add DA to my site and begin modding for that as well.

well I haven't played DAO yet but i do have to say that Oblivion is an amazing RPG it is practically faultless. But saying that there hasn't been 1 Bioware game I haven't played yet I didn't like...
