why does oblivion suck

[Sarya]

Blah-blah-blah, this sucks, that sucks... what a kindergarten.

It all comes to personal taste... and as we say arguments over tastes are not to be... among smart people, that is :)

different strokes for different folks

The only thing i liked about Morrowind was the armor system

[Michlo]

For one, it doesn't.

 

For another, why do fellers insist on saying things "suck" as though that is a bad thing when most would consider it a good thing in a certain circumstance. ;)

you mean like.....sucking on a lollypop?

I was sucked into Morrowind for at least two years.. I loved how the armour system was so expansive, and you could choose both pauldrons, gauntlets, and I felt that the world was so much more realistic. Though there was not audible speech, there was always something to talk to the locals about, and much of their opinion was based on their race, who they were, and so on. The main quest was very expansive, and just about every NPC was associated with a quest. When you swung your 30-some-pound sword into someones cranium, it spilled their brains halfway across the floor, they didn't simply wake up a minute later, and the guards were already on your heels. One thing that slightly dissappointed me was your ability to disappear from crowds and creatures alike easily by crossing the entrance to some random person's house, or even into the guard's quarters itself!

 

Oblivion amazed me with the awesome graphics. I was terrified to see that the list of skills was effectively truncated, and my favourite classes were removed. I wanted a seperate axe skill.. i wanted spears!! no more medium armour?? There is hardly a fraction of items in Oblivion that were present in Morrowind, and the landmass explorable is limited to a small province, and even "You cannot go this way, turn back." The people look slightly attractive, and the orcs aren't covered in crisco this time! The enchantments no longer make me feel like a TV dinner, and I occasionally find myself in third-person-view. The new system of power attacks pleased me, and I think the bartering system is highly improved.

 

Overall, Oblivion is more playable to me. This is however only true because I find it easier to look at. Morrowind is so much larger and has many more possibilities of your character, even though Oblivion has some fancy new face-maker that will allow you to make your character uglier than you thought possible, but now with 5 times as many polygons ... It's good to know that my character got rid of his wedgie that never seemed to end when he was walking, and it now almost looks like I'm using the weapon i'm holding. I like how not everyone can waltz into a store and create the perfected enchanted doomblade now, but WHERE IS LEVITATION? I guess it isn't much needed in this bland prairie world that doesn't seem to have any cool crevices in the caves, or large, open rooms with hidden goodies in the most unexpected corners. The artifacts in oblivion are lame in my opinion, and I don't like how the Argonians and Kajiit seem to have lost their reputation of being beggars, deceivers and slaves. For being so much more in control of the area than any of the other races, the Imperial aren't very good at domesticating animals. The dunmer seem to have no problem with guars and kwama, and they even use other people.

 

The ultimate game would be somewhere along the lines of this: (in my opinion, please don't cry)

 

Oblivion's graphics and animations (i still think bethesda could use some motion capture, the animations in both games suck)

 

PLUS

 

The immersive world, deep storyline and extremely captivating plot of Morrowind (I love how you can follow the history of pretty much any one area/culture in the Morrowind game)

This is why I posted it here, people can see from a oblivion fans point of view that morrowind blew the plants off of Oblivion. I like Oblivion but...when I played Morrowind I was like sayn to my self two steps forward one step back...the games are supposed to be gettin better right its sad when are wishing morrowind had todays graphics and would play it over Oblivion in a heart beat....but I guess it can be taken a few ways....they dont make em like they used too...and They set the bar very high with the last game.

 

 

I hope someone reads this among the Bethesda staff or whatever cause seriously morrowind blew the pants off this game. Yes they both have their good and bad points but morrowind just beats it.
