[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"][quote name="Zseni"]TOP TEN REASONS WHY MORROWIND IS BETTER THAN OBLIVION 10. Ancestral temples. These are so cool! Why aren't they in Oblivion?! 9. Volcanic geography. Not available in any other game. 8. Has underwater. 7. Instead of ruined forts and ruined alien elf forts, has tombs and eeeevil demon temple ruins. 6. Everyone hates you in Morrowind. You can pick whether you get sneered at for your existence or just for being from out of town, but nobody is going to lick your taint even if you save their whole planet. This is refreshing. In Oblivion there's a lot of "Hello stranger! Would you care to impregnate my children? Here is a free cake!" 5. Morrowind: the nation of 24-hour shopping convenience. Oooh it's not realistic to shop at 2 in the morning! Fight realistic pony devils all night while you wait for the store to fucking open so you can ditch your loot! 4. You're guaranteed to be able to kill a mudcrab in Morrowind. 3. Ring Of Machine Gun: not really possible in Oblivion. 2. Flying: not really possible in Oblivion. 1. You can break into God's house and kill him.[/quote] How motivated are you to expand this into something I can post to the front page? The only thing I would argue with is: [quote]5. Morrowind: the nation of 24-hour shopping convenience.[/quote] YEAH BUT, the Morrowind shopkeepers watch over their wares like they are cemented speds. You couldn't play a burglar in Morrowind because you could never do the whole, "break into a shop keeper's place in the middle of the night and clean them out" thing. I thought you said you played through it as a healer, but did you also spend time as a fighter? If you did do a thief class playthrough, I am curious as to how you enjoyed it, compared to other classes. I had to eventually install a bodyguard mod for Morrowind, as the cliff racers kept killing my rogue. I argued on the side of Daggerfall once in this forum (I can't remember if SB deleted it or not) when compared to Morrowind, but I no longer feel as strongly as I once did. I am prepared to hear more arguments as to why Morrowind is better than Oblivion when the auto-leveling is taken off. the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey! [/quote]
