will you still play morrowind Options

[1234king]

i am still going to play morrowind even with oblivion. i still haven't even beat the main quest so i intend to do that one day

I have actually still *only* played Morrowind

I keep meaning to look into Skyrim/Oblivion, but I don't have a computer with the necessary power (...hell, I no longer have a computer capable of running Morrowind, it's kind of sad) and neither of them really have the same pull for me. The thing is that what I really fell in love with in Morrowind is the world - and the idea of playing a TES game without silt striders, guar, mushroom towers, houses built out of giant crab shells, the Ashlands, etc. etc. etc. is just... it's not the same. Needless to say, certain things that apparently happened to Vvardenfell pre-Skyrim make that game even LESS appealing (in that my strategy for dealing with those facts is LA LA LA CAN'T HEAR YOU and playing Skyrim, where it's happened in-game, makes that harder)

Oblivion and Skyrim are great but I felt that OB was too shallow and generic for me to enjoy. As much as I didn't want to admit it, Skyrim is a step in the right direction when it comes to world interaction and such.

I just wish they'd get a little more creative with their bestiary and landscapes like they did with Morrowind.

Yeah, this is pretty much what I mean - I *adored* what they did with Morrowind in terms of creatures and landscape and architecture and also things like culture and religion, because it was so unique and the world ended up so alien and different as a result. In comparison, what I've seen from Oblivion looks, to be frank, a lot more like Generic Fantasy World. I mean, it's a lot better on that front than various other games, but in comparison to Morrowind... it feels weirdly like backtracking.

I don't demand that all future TES games should be set in Morrowind but honestly, I'd love to see one in e.g. Elsweyr or Black Marsh, or maybe Valenwood, because I think those settings have a lot of potential for setting-creativity the way Morrowind did.
