Morrowind for the Win!

Any one else find Skyrim to be dissapointing? I mean I was a HUGE Morrowind fan ever since I found it in my brothers room and stole it...cough... but I felt skyrim...though visually awesome... went by WAY to fast. I read a few comments here and there about it the leveling system being watered down and what not but I dont care about that. I found it to be way to quickly. Granted I spent a week remaking characters because I cant commit but thats besides the point. It took me maybe 2-3 days to finish the main story. On top of which I could finish any side story (college, theives guild, brotherhood) in a days time if that. I mean really!? it should take longer play time than that for me to become the best in the mage guild faction. I dunno. Morrowind seemed to captivate me more. Took me forever to finish any storyline. I cant even bring myself to play Skyrim now that I have beaten it...I dunno. Am I missing something?

I mean...I played morrowind and I was sold. Things felt so massive that I could play forever. To be honest I never finished morrowind. Never even came close. I got so sidetracked just playing the game and doing side stuff. Skyrim was awesome but it felt so rushed. I mean the main story was pretty good narative wise but went by so fast. After the Thalmer party quest I was like Damn who could be behind this. Then it all just kinda fell into expected storyline. I was kinda afraid to just wander and raid caves and forts because half the time quest sent you to them later on. A lot of it was random but it still held me back from exploring. I read so many glitches in areas if a random quest sent you there first it was amazing. And most couldnt be fixed on Xbos yet.

I agree. For instance my main play through in which I finished the main story was pretty much a warrior with one handed and restoration. I was leaning toward a paladin like build I read about for RP Purposes. But then part of the main story was like..."oh do this for the theives guild" and I was like....but...Im not a theif. Its like No matter what you had to join factions wiether it made sense or not. I found a way around joining the theives guild but it still made me join the mages college.

LOL I would know because I beat the game before I bothered with either war based side. I cant breing myself to side with either of them for another play through. The only thing I was tempted to do was make a no skill werewolf character and just kill anybody. But that even hasnt tempted me enough for a play trhough. I would have to go through all the beginning stuff plus the basic companion questline to be a werewolf get the stupid hercine ring and then I would get to enjot myself... just too much work. I had morrowind for PC and to be honest of the mods were as easily available as the were during the morrowind days I would be all over just playing that. Sadly all the mods I used to use to enhance the game experience ( better bodies mods and those that supported it) require payment or some sort of subscription to a downloading site..

Sadly I got Skyrim for the Xbox. I should have known better but I really dont have a computer for gaming anymore. I barely get by with SWTOR. I really should have known...I loved morrowind for the mod possibilites as well as the game itself. I dunno...I wanted something more system stable. For some reason I feel that PC is such a hit and miss game system. I mean my computer may run it or may not but if I get it for xbox it will run either way. Thats what I get...

Color me stupid if need be but whats DLC? LOL the last major game I played was WoW and between that I think Epyk lent me mass effect 1 while I lived near him. Between all that I know nothing.

aaaghh Gotcha. In my mind I think of WoW right off the bat. You already own our game but here...pay us full game price for 5 more levels....Fuck you blizzard...and thats no the drunkeness talking...fuck you....

I almost played city of heroes but the copy my brother gave me wouldnt install correctly. I mean I would be lying if I said I didnt enjoy wow but there was a lot lacking. The times I enjoyed WoW was when my friends played with me. I dunno I hate socializing so my friends always grouped often and out leveled me leaving me bored. Im a big story based person...imagine that... so RP value weighs heavy for me.... WoW was just horrible for that. When you can join an RP server and people mock and run off RPers Im a little annoyed. In terms of all that I fell for the Lord of the Rings MMO pretty well especially since it is Free to play now. SWTOR is awesome and I truely think they did a fine job producing an MMO and with little Laucnh flaws but I can tell its gonna be another RP server with no RP. The only thing saving it is star wars nerds will be star wars nerds and no one will ever diss anyone for being just that no matter the extreme.

tempting very tempting. lol Im trying to focus on work to get my puppet business off the ground so taking on more video games could be hazerdous I will definately keep it on the back burner of options though.

I think Im just burnt out in general on video games. I been working hard writing stories and building future films/skits that I find most storylines of games lacking or cliche. Sadly the career Im trying to build outshines video games for me at this point in my life. Maybe someday I could be the nerd I once was.

ooooooooo now thats cool. Sadly aside from my attempts at founding a career of my own I have no other income so any video game expenses are on the MRs tab and she wont go for it... But I could use this as motivation cause if I pull off the puppet sales I could spend my profits on anything....

Will do~ Not Im off to bed as I have reached the tired stage of drunkenness...Nice chattin with you!

I already got bored of it, to be honest.

I may finish up what I had left later. Or sell it...

This thread made me happy that I passed on Skyrim in favor of Witcher II and Dark Souls.

I got burned out bad on Skyrim..had over 100 hours on it,civil war achievement glitched out on me,never gave me some of the missions.It was decent,but,I agree,I loved Morrowind soooo much.I had the GOTY of it on original xbox...me and my friend spent like all summer of 2008 trying to find all the secret stuff in it,I never even beat the main quest.Just finished the mages guild and maybe thieve's guild

I have it on my pc but never got around to playing it

I did feel Skyrim got dumbed down.There's lots to do,but not much worthwhile stuff

Skyrim doesnt have much replay value, since only the civil war quests cancel each other out. plus there is very little accountability for your actions (IE every guard being as bent as a right-angle)

The length of morrowind may be related to the lack of fast travel and the beyond crappy directions they give you.

"Go north. Then stop at the water. Turn right and then go left when you reach the rock. Travel 4 miles in this direction and you will find a cave."

I outright skipped half of the main quest because they wanted me to travel to every ashlander village in the world and convince them that I was the nevarine.
