I like Oblivion about equally to Skyrim. They both have their strengths and weaknesses, and offer unique experiences. I find Morrowind to be a very different beast from its two successors, so I don't usually judge it in comparison. Still haven't gotten around to Daggerfall or Arena- though I do want to try the former one day. I've accepted that I have terrible taste and possibly brain problems.  I think Elsweyr/Valenwood would be great for TESVI, lots of weird and cool lore from there and hopefully it'd mean a resolution or at least a continuation of the Aldmeri Dominion thread. And the walking tree-city has apparently rooted itself so Bethesda's got a portion of their retcon work already done!  Honestly doubt they'd pick those provinces though, freaky cannibal elf tribes and bunches of different cat people are probably too "risky" for the series now. Hammerfell seems like the good bet- which wouldn't be a bad idea either. Still could mean more opportunity to beat up Thalmor!

If you feel like doing an archaeological dig through the ancient internet you can find people kvetching about Morrowind in comparison to Daggerfall shortly after it was released. "Dumbing down the series", "not a true RPG", "appealing to casual gamers with whizzycool features and graphics", etc. Now, I think there are legitimate complaints that the series has been stripped of depth over time and that certain features seem catered to an audience that doesn't really care for this RPG nerd poo poo. But on the other hand, it's a bit comforting to know that the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Deltasquid posted:Yeah, in all honesty, I think it's a mistake for Bethesda to try to go for large scale epic fantasy battles kinda deal. Like evidently it feels like a remnant of the LoTR era for Obligion and Skyrim, where they tried to emulate that high despite the engine just not working for it. Yeah they missed a trick not bringing the Arena back for Skyrim

Iirc Vvardenfell had only recently been opened for settlement by outlanders a couple decades ago, they make a deal out of how foreigners used to be restricted to just the Foreign Quarter of Vivec City. So all the imperial towns are boom towns. I tried to get into ESO but ended up just wishing it was a singleplayer game. I guess you can play it as one but the MMO trappings just detracted from the experience imo

I've had issues using Mod Organizer for Oblivion, in particular with OBSE plugins. OBMM is pretty busted at this point. Wrye Bash has never steered me wrong.  Lawman 0 posted:All this effort to avoid potato faces and rubber band enemy types. Thaaaat's modding!

Yeah iirc the main forum community basically died with the first forums, only a handful of people bothered to move to the new ones with the crappier interface. The thing about modding knowledge is true, though, so many questions I've had have been solved by Google leading me to old-rear end archived forum posts. Searching Discord logs sucks in comparison.

I'm the person who jumps around and explores all the wierd corners of the map and inevitably finds the one place you can get wedged between rocks. ` "tcl" is my best friend. I dunno how many saves I would have had to reload if I were playing on console. Not to mention how many busted quests I've had to setstage through even in vanilla.

There's a thing among Morrowind fans to refer to Argonians as "farm tools" and make jokes about racial chattel slavery. It's pretty gross and edgy!
