Why I'll always say Morrowind is the best TES game

[Motep]

I only had the opportunity to play morrowind for a few hours, and I still had more fun than with playing oblivion for as long as I have played it. I didnt know they were for the computer untill I read this, and now I think instead of getting morrowind for the xbox, Ill go for the typey-box instead.

I personally liked the scaling of the monsters in Oblivion, and I definitely agree that the npc allie were so suckish when you were at a higher leve that it was a joke. In Kvatch, my level 18 character sat and watched as every member of the guard was decimated in one hit by the denizens of doom. But it really made killing all the soldiers in the imperial city a test of ones abilities. Going to guards barracks with nothing but an elven dagger and your magic, now that was great stuff. Took me about an hour to finally kill everybody using invisibilty and a meagre restoration spell. (slash twice, run backwards, become invisible, run behind them, do it again.)

But I must say that wth morrowind, exploration was so much better, and even more fun. Seriously, that map was a very nice thing to have. In oblivion, it was so...bland. You walk soe, you see some flowers, a tree, and a bandit with daedric everything. You kill the bandit, take the flowers, get bored, and fast travel to get things over with.... And I have noticed that nagging sense of urgency that makes completing the sidequests a test of one's concious. You almost feel guilty leaving the world to die while you galavant your way through incrdibly simmilar caves and worm your way to the top of every single guild when you shouldnt be able to. ... I miss morrowind...and I wil always play an argonian or a dark elf, just for the sake of nostalgia.

I enjoyed the environment more in Morrowind. Maybe because the game made me feel like more of an outsider. Also enjoyed the fast traveling system there, with silts or boats.

But standing on the highest peaks of Jerall Mts in Oblivion and seeing all Cyrodiil before you was fun too. And riding on a horse was fun as well. As someone else said, a mix of Oblivion & Morrowind would be the best TES5.

I have memories of that in Morrowind. To this day I only remember one time hearing this in Oblivion. I liked how in Morrowind everyone hated you at first. In Oblivion you just start out unknown but everyone's all nice. There's just no depth to it.

Voice actors cost money though. Which you could say was Oblivions problem with dropping text blocks and going for full voices for everything. They went whole hog on getting Patrick Stuart (Uriel Septium VIII), Terance Stamp (Mankar Camoran), Sean Bean (Martin Septium) for major speaking roles. So they had to go with 1 person for multiple races to save time and money. Even though with voice acting you get a seperate payday for each character you voice. Maybe background voices are different.

I'll be happy as long as they keep Wes Johnson (imperial male, Lucien Lachance, Shivering Isles Sheogorath, Fallout 3's Mister Burke) he's a great performer (to me). I wouldn't mind Jeff Baker being back

Yeah, they really wasted their money on Patrick Stewart. He did a good enough job but they probably had to pay him $50,000 and his voicework was over in the first 30 minutes of the game. They probably could have doubled the race voice actors with that extra money.
