Same. I absolutely adored Oblivion, but I haven't played Morrowind much but I did enjoy what I played. Bethesda is one of the more consistent developers, so I'm expecting good things.

Not only has this already been posted, but it has been posted in a thread for this kind of thing.

Okay, i didin't see the thread or the post. But i think the thread is rather pointless.

@Mr.Bungle
Yea, i never played morrowind. I might buy it off of steam to give it a try. Oblivion kept me entertained for hours. Bethesda packed alot more content into oblivion than they did with fallout 3 and new vegas.

How is it wrong? That thread just defeats the purpose of having an entire forum for this kind stuff.

This game will almost certainly have more than enough discussion to warrant it's own thread.

As it stands we really know nothing about it.

That said, I can't fucking wait.

A little bit miffed that it's set in the Skyrim province. That makes it unlikely that we will finally see and become Tamriel's werecrocodiles.

Oh, to be an Argonian werecrocodile! To be a lizardman who must painfully transform into a lizardman!

Much as I love the idea of going to Black Marsh, its own game seems unlikely since it lacks two important RPG qualities: 1) Varied geography and 2) Widespread permanent habitation.

Who knows, maybe us Argonians will get an expansion.

Hopefully. I would also like to see black marsh as well, considering i'm an Argonian player myself. I'm surprised they haven’t released some concept art yet. According to bethesda, they have been working on this for a while.

Oh god how I fucking loved Morrowind. I spent a year finally completing the main-quest. I never finished thee expansion packs though.

Onblivion was great, but I've never finished the main quest.


This.. I'm so happy to hear they are making a new game I remember when talks of a new game was only a 'maybe' or rumors.
I really hope they fix the problems they had with Oblivion, such as kind of half-assed story-line and stuff. Dunno... Oblivion could just never beat Morrowind in means of storyline and atmosphere. Oh and the landscapes. I want wild and weird landscapes and... arrgh!!

I hope my comp will be able to run it. x_X

I actually liked the storyline in oblivion. It wasn't no ground breaking storyline, but it was decent. I thought the ending was pretty epic at least.

this. i fucking loved Morrowind. it was in another league compared to Oblivion, i reckon.

i'm not really that interested in this Elder Scrolls V, seeing as Oblivion couldn't hold my attention for very long. it seemed too plastic, whereas you could fully immerse yourself in Morrowind.

Perhaps they learned from the feedback of many disappointed fans and perhaps they will have improved their new game. I'm gonna give it a shot at least =)

I should get around to playing Morrowind. I've owned the discs forever, just never gave it a proper play-through.

A friend lent it to me, and it bored me to tears. I stopped playing after an hour.

I remember playing the Morrowind Loading Screen. Everything else on the disc was so fleeting I can't bring it to mind.

Apparently Morrowind was a very pretty game, but very slow and dull.

Oblivion however has vastly superior gameplay mechanics but more generic boring scenery.

Morrowind has a very rich world, that's for sure. But the combat is very crappy. It takes so much leveling up to just kill a rat from the beginning. Once I started playing it for a while though, I got kind of hooked into it.

That's about it, minus the 'vastly' and 'very'. Morrowind didn't feel it needed to throw a monster at you every 30 seconds to keep your attention.

I never completed Oblivion's mainquest because it was so boring.

I did enjoy punching people though.

It got better towards the end, but closing Oblivion gates always seemed like such a slog.

I didn't get very far in Oblivion before causing some sort of zombie apocalypse. There were hundreds in some crypt or dungeon, I assume due to a glitch, and I couldn't kill them. And they followed me outside and wreaked total devastation. I haven't played that save since because it seems to consist of constant fleeing.

Morrowind IS boring in the start. I kept playing for some reason though, and got hooked. I think it was my first real RPG too, so I was kinda kept entertained by the new type of gameplay.
