The First Thing You Felt About Oblivion (or Morrowind), ... When you were a Newbie. Options

[ureniashtram]

Title says it all. What was the first thing you felt about Oblivion(or Morrowind) after playing for the first time? For me, I was lost and amazed. The view, forests, lakes.. It was simply amazing that I broke 20 hours in my first playthrough.

Also made a couple of mistakes.

First, I mistook the Roxey Inn, THE ROXEY INN, for the goddamned Fighters Guild. Probably because there was a Legionnaire and the Breton and his crew. The Innkeeper giving out the bounty for the necromancer's head just about made a fool out of me.

AND, mistaking Bruma for Bravil. Ha! I also took the Atronach birtsign for an Orc, 'cuz it looked cool and all that stuff. Got turned into a vampire the second I entered Barren Cave.

How about you guys? What sort of newbie mischief did you make when playing OB or MW for the first time? List 'em all!

well i feel like old miro , with BOTH skyirm and morrowind

with skyrim i was just dissapointed basically , the game felt so much smaller then oblivivon, the idea of stand-alone quests ( the epic glue that held cyrodill togther) was dead , the guiliens had fewer quests than previous , there were fewer spells to learn , there was less land to explore , there were less skills to learn...everythign was just LESS .....

with morrowind , the highest praise i can give , and its high is this : i can see why people think it was the best game ever created , when i first played i felt the epicness , i loved the towns , the music , the creatrues..the sheer amount of things to do was overwhelming

but , the world had no map icons so i didnt have a clue were i was going , the world has NO AI ( almost) which completly killed the games immersion . the combat was bad , creatures were annoying , and the quesltines i gave up on because they were TOO LONG

literally i did like 50 quesst for fg and eventually gave up because time after time i got a fetch quest to head to "the most northern of the isles) when i was in balamors



i honestly think that your favourite ES game is your first , because you get something unique , something raw , from that which you can never have again

This is what I have been preaching for years over at Bethsoft
