Q Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 All games are flawed. But "very" flawed? Yes. The game was one gigantic exploit. It's almost as if it was intended to be that way from the beginning as some sort of inside joke by its developers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 How many mods did you use on your last play through of Morrowind? No doubt they could have put little more effort into the models/textures (some of the "Better Heads" models have fewer polys than the originals and look significantly better). Yes. The game was one gigantic exploit. It's almost as if it was intended to be that way from the beginning as some sort of inside joke by its developers.One of the drawbacks of "sandbox" play, I suppose. Of course, I also suppose that what you do in the sandbox is kinda sorta your decision, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Correct. While taking advantage of the exploits (and therefore "pooping in the sandbox" ) is fun for the first couple of playthroughs, you really have to excercise some self-control in order to enjoy the game after that. To me, this actually represents part of the challenge of playing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Skywalker Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I'll be the devil here and say: i did not enjoy Morrowind. Not a single bit. Blame Oblivion for it being played first. While the news of a new ES are awesome, i was never that much of a fan of the Nords. I just wonder if the terrain will be all snowy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoffe Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 While the news of a new ES are awesome, i was never that much of a fan of the Nords. I just wonder if the terrain will be all snowy. While Skyrim has been portrayed as a mountainous snowy land in the in-game lore that might change in the actual game, so you never know. For example, prior to Oblivion being released Cyrodiil was described in the lore as a dense, mostly uninhabited jungle with just a few major cities and towns. In Oblivion it suddenly morphed into a standard European-medieval setting, and the Imperial City shrunk from a huge metropolis to little more than a big fortress.

At least we can hope: mudcrabs shouldn't be able to survive in that cold and therefore we shouldn't hear again "I saw some mudcrabs by the water recently. I steered clear of them.".

mimartin Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Instead we will hear "I saw some snowcrabs by the water recently. I steered clear of them.". At least they should be better eating than mudcrabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth333 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 "I saw some snowcrabs Dammit! I forgot about those creatures... I hope there will at least be some sexy strong Nord males who aren't always under mead influence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctrl Alt Del Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I hope it's too cold for the Khajiits. Am I the only racist to find those guys unbearable? Instead we will hear "I saw some snowcrabs by the water recently. I steered clear of them.". At least they should be better eating than mudcrabs. Disgusting creatures...

Here is hoping Elder Scrolls V is not a MMO or you may have to beware of a cute stealthy female wood elf with a strong dislike of specist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordRevan999 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Finally,I was wondering when Elder Scrolls V would be coming as Gothic 4 was announced to be coming in winter 2009.All I need from this new game is some beautiful characters to make as player.And to have some good and long story.And it wouldn't hurt to see some new guilds around.
