if you first played Oblivion, did you go ...

I played the he!! out of Oblivion and am still playing i have clocked 400 hours in the game. But everyone tells me that Morrowind is WAY better. But i've been looking back at the gameplay footage of the old Morrowind, it obviosly is old and out dated. But has anyone jump back to morrowind and enjoyed it? if so how was it going back to a last generation game that is allegely deeper? and would you recommend that I do the same if i loved oblivion?if you first played Oblivion, did you go ...
I own all the elderscrolls games and have beat each one. With that being said, Oblivion is my least favorite game in teh series.That doesnt mean its a bad game, its just not up to par with the previous games in the series.Once again this is just my opinion. Definatly chek out Morrowind man, its not for everone and doesnt guide you by the hand like in Oblivion, but its got a muh better story, deeper missions, bigger world and the characters that you meet are more interesting. if you first played Oblivion, did you go ...
Morrowind is only enjoyable on the PC for me... It just doesnt feel right on the xbox. I love Morrowind though, great game.
Oblivion has several plusses over Morrowind. Oblivion obviously beats Morrowind in terms of presentation. Oblivion is also a lot more user friendly. You can fast travel anywhere, which you couldn't in Morrowind. Quests are easier to complete, due to people and places being easier to find. And whatever people may say about the ''Radiant AI'' system in Oblivion...it's way better than the non-behavior NPCs had in Morrwoind.The thing I hated in Oblivion was the scaling. I remember getting some ebony armor in Morrowind, and it was such a big deal, because it was some of the best armor in the game. In Oblivion, it's all level dependent. It really kills immersion when you become the champion of the Arena at level 5. And those bandits wearing glass armor? **** 'em. Those guys really annoyed me. Scaling took a lot of the suspense of dungeon crawling out of Oblivion. You're never going to meet some super-hardcore badguy, and you're never going to find a Coolguy Sword +5 after you sneak around him, because at level 7, you find all the same level-dependent crap in every dungeon.
Yeah, I went back to Morrowind and I didn't like it much. But that's just because I found the lack of guidance pretty annoying and it's hard to step back from next-gen to 5 or 6 year old graphics.

But given the fact of where we are at today do you think that game can still be enjoyable since its so old? And in Oblivion i found that spell making and leading a team of followers was fun and imerrsive as well as getting deep into alchemny. I have three charators, one is a pure warrior who i maxed out every skill and attribute. the next is a pure mage. And now i'm playing as a thief and assassion. I don;'t use fast travel any more and have stop using the compass. So it makes the game a little more challenging. I think hardcore players liked how everything had to be worked for in morrowind. But after playing oblivion so much i found that if the difficulty bar is slide all the way to the hardest diffculty that the only way to survive in the game is to get a clan together that you get by some guild quest and some DLC. you are forced to come up with creative ways to fight in battles that are very satifiying and are always different even if you die and restart. By having endless abitlity for echanting, spellmaking, teambased playing styling akin to all RPG, alchemny and the game on its hardest setting while staying true to the class you picked out plus not using all the things that make the game to easy, it gets real immersive! I guess the story may not be to people's liking but the sheer capacity to reform and reivse the style of gameplay, is remarkable to me. I guess there's a Novice way of playing the game and an expert way of playing and i think people basis their opioion of the game from the novice level since the game condensends itself

[/QUOTE] Have to agree. Oblivion has been watered down gameplay compared to previous Elder Scroll games, but has nice graphics (At least, did...) Morrowind is vastly superior if you're looking for a deep RPG, but was considered a little ''too'' open ended for those new to the series. Oblivion tends to hold the players hand during the game, Morrowind just drops you in the world and says ''Go at it''. Overall it's definitely a game worth checking out, but I'd very strongly recommend you get the PC version. Much better graphics after some graphic overhaul mods, better combat mods, horses mods (don't have to get off the horse to fight). Plus the thousands of new quests/items and even more land to explore... I couldn't imagine playing Morrowind, or even Oblivion on a console.... The Elder Scroll series has always been about user generated content which makes the replay value virtually unlimited.
Well actually I first played Morrowind on the Xbox when it came out. I hated it which was a disapointment as I was really looking forward to that game. Took it back the very next day and got something else. I got Oblivion the day it came out...WHY!? you ask?....I dont know?...You would think I had learned my lesson from hatting Morrowind...BUT...I ended up loving Oblivion a lot....I have over 300 hrs on that game. I like to just run around and do nothing at on in that game...So now I have went back to trying to play Morrowind again....Its still nothing great and Im not sure If I will ever get anything done in that game...BUT...Its something to play I guess.
I played Morrowind before Oblivion was out and hated it. Everyone said Oblivion was awesome so I bought that for 360 and loved it.
I played Morrowind first and I hated it so I was skeptical about Oblivion. But I played Oblivion and it's become one of my favorite games.
