I don't know if it's a good idea to bring this up, but here it is. Should I play Morrowind before I play Oblivion ?
I have already started Oblivion but havn't gotten too far yet. I had not played any Elder Scroll game before, so I was wondering if I would be better off playing Morrowind to get a feel of the history or story lines before I got into Oblivion. I have read so many posts by people that have played previous Elder Scroll games and it seems that they have such a good grasp of the game before they start on Oblivion. I know this is all subject to personal opinion but I would like to hear what you experienced Elder Scroll players think. What say ya ?

Well, I have been playing Oblivion for about 3 weeks now, I like it. I have also been thinking about Morrowind and the question I asked here. I understand that I don't need to play MW to understand the story in OB, after all, we are the story. I think I was asking if I should experience MW before OB because of the upgrade in graphics and technology would make MW look so old and outdated.
So, I went out and bought a copy of MW , the GotY edition. Installed it and started playing. At the character creation, it seemed kinda familier. Then I stepped out on the street and walked to the next building. That's when I realized that I had tried MW years ago, before I started EQ.
Yes, the graphics are old technology and the game seems quiet. What really got to me was the same feature that probably turned me off the first time I tried it. The fonts...they are all small, dark and in some old English type of style. It makes it hard for me to read the dialogue and thus makes the game hard to follow. I'm not a young fellow and my eyesight is less than 20/20, so this is a big hang-up for me, even wearing my reading glasses. OB on the other-hand, is bright, cheerful and the font is large and the in a style that is easy to read. If MW had a mod that could change the font size, type, color and or background, I might be able to handle it.
I have been reading alot about the RPG aspect of TES and I would like to become emmersed in an RPG. EQ was not what I would consider a real RPG, it was...something. smile.gif
If any of you can help me make MW better to play, I would be glad to give it a try. If you know of any mods that would help make the game more attractive plaese paste a link here, as it would be near impossible to find one in the 5827 odd mods availible for MW.
Thanks
