RE: holoz0r's A-Z of Steam: Why I won't be playing any more Morrowind

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

It's so very very jarring! Haha.

When comparing Morrowind to Skyrim, my list of positives of the game are as such:

  • Say you have stolen off a merchant. When you talk to that merchant, he knows that you have his stuff and will call wrath upon you.
  • If you have skooma or moon sugar in your inventory, most people will think you're an addict and refuse to talk to you until you remove it.
  • You don't need a Killable NPC mod to kill people, muahaha. If someone dies, they stay dead. (I actually murdered the entire continent back in the day, bar the travel creature controllers and a few choice merchants)
  • In saying that, everyone else knows you're a murderer and you need to bribe them to like you.
  • You have to think for yourself when it comes to quests, there's no hand-holding.
  • If you train your acrobatics by jumping a lot, you can literally jump over mountains!

Actually, I think that's it. Haha. There's usually more I reminisce over when playing Skyrim, "Oh, I wish I could still do that..." but hard to remember at 6am.

I did love Oblivion too. It was also the game that taught me to press F5 every two minutes! 😁

If I may make a recommendation for after your Elder Scrolls journey... Enderal is a fantastic game! It's a free game modded from Skyrim and they did such an amazing job with it. I'd argue they actually did a better job.

That's high praise indeed! I'll put it on the list as a curiosity to explore post-skyrim. Does it work with the Special Edition on Steam without too much trouble?

Ooh, unfortunately it only works with the "Oldrim" non-special edition. 😬 They are thinking of porting it over to the Special Edition, at least they were a while ago. I'm not sure if they're actually working on it or not though.

But it really is fantastic ~ the graphics are absolutely beautiful. They've overhauled the combat, magic, leveling systems. If you get shot in the face with an arrow - it HURTS. You can't just suck down health potions. There are more than three voice actors. 😆 The story is pretty compelling and when it ends, it ends. Multiple endings!

As you play, you can't help but pick up that it clearly had a lot of love and thought put into it. 😊

Thanks, I have both the Special Edition and original edition of Skyrim in my Steam collection so shouldn't be an issue :)
