Is this one of the greatest open world games of all time?

I know this is kind of random but can someone tell me why most images nowadays are webps, now? Images I gotten off of google before that used to be jpgs are now webps? Why?

The only good thing about this game is that it's very open and you are given instructions on how to go somewhere so you have to figure it out yourself, that and the music. Literally everything else about morrowind is dogshit, including the boring world building and locations.
This is a game you only enjoy for a while because it's blasting emotional music in your ears while you explore the world and try to find something cool. It stops being a good game when you don't find anything cool. The first silt strider is probably the only cool thing you ever see in this game, maybe the flying rock too.
Bethesda has never made a good game.

>>731056216
because webps are lower weight, generally, and can scale compression, plus they have support for animation even if they rarely use it. It's a more modern age .png, except, .png was fine, is fine, and most sites don't want to rework their entire back end to support .webp so like 95% of the time it's just a big fucking headbutting contest to upload a fucking image anywhere.
Maybe that was a secondary goal, to kill user shared content by making it more annoying to just copy and paste shit.

They take less space and bandwidth for the same approximate visual quality. Most progress in tech is about a better profit margin by cost reduction.

>>731056170
You can't do anything there other than talking and killing.
>>
>>731056216
i'm curious as to why 4chan still doesn't support it because that's the only thing that annoys me about it.

Pushed by google

>>731056170
Sure

>>731056216
new, better format. Unfortunately not as big of a leap as gif to webm, but still better than fucking jaypeg
>>
>>731056216
Because google hates 4chan and 4chan users

>>731056170
Oblivion was closer to the ideal open world because it's half baked implementation of radiant AI kept it feeling alive regarding how npcs move around the world. Did Morrowind even have that? pretty sure the npcs were all just static until you walked into them. Even Gothic made the world feel more alive than Morrowind.

>music
the music is good but because it's only like 30 minutes long for a game that can be 50+ hours it starts to sound painful to listen to when it becomes so repetitive.

i think there's still a lot of cool stuff to find but there is a lot of generic stuff too. which is fine for low level early game stuff but trying to explore when you get stronger and more experienced makes the boring stuff a bit of a waste of time. generic tombs and caves and such probably should've been kept near the starting areas and only more interesting things elsewhere.

>>731056216
This shitty site allow webms already. and 4mb restriction in 2026 lol lmfao. functionalitywise this site is so shit honestly.
>>
>>731056170
I wish I could enjoy this game as a sneaky thief boy but all roads lead back to spellblade for me.
>>
>>731056764
STALKER's a-life is the closest any game has come to oblivion's promised radiant ai I think.
>>
>>731056959
I mean being sneaky is probably the single worst playstyle due to how borked the mechanics are. Playing an illusionist thief kinda works, but you still can't really pickpocket
>>
>>731056764
You're missing the forest for the trees. Morrowind's NPCs were far, far more interactive than Oblivion's NPCs.
NPCs walking around and doing things is not gameplay, it doesn't add anything, it's fake detail that you can only look at but not interact with.
Morrowind's NPCs reacted to (You) with actual gameplay options. Quests will tell you to go get something from some NPC and you had loads of different ways of doing that.
Oblivion doesn't even let you kill quest NPCs, which Morrowind would have, and the pie minigame is as far as your "interaction" goes.
>>
yes
>>
>>731056882
True, most imageboards these days have a much higher upload limit, too bad they're ghost towns. 4chan's also mostly unusable without multiple extensions like 4chanXT and its built in sounds player, which solves problems that shouldn't exist. 4chan truly is shit.

>NPCs walking around and doing things is not gameplay
So i guess Ultima 5 had no gameplay. Is that what you're saying to justify Morrowinds lack of simulation features?

best betheslop? yeah probably
best open world? absolutely not
>>
>>731058259
What is the best open world then?
>>
>>731056170
The combat sucks, no voiced dialogue sucks, the game's too fucking slow without the boots, the nerevarine trials fucking blow massive fucking shitdicks, and as a newer player it is still my 2025 GOTY and I am looking forward to the day I feel like putting another 300 hours in.

>>731056601
I asked this on /g/ a while ago, they said its some dumb thing having to do with unaccounted exploits or whatnot that might prop up from the new format, (despite the memes yes some users are hackers on steroids) , I dunno, it also annoys me.

I can't stand Tamriel Rebuilt. Imagine having the absolutely best and most dedicated modding community of all time, working for two decades, with some of the best lore/writing to work with, on a game so fundamentally flawed not a single mechanic is functional or fun expect for magic, which is only fun because of how overpowered it is. You can't play a functional stealth character, the combat is ass and brainless, archery is terrible. It's just so bad and yet they pour actual mainstream developer levels of craft into a rancid foundation that cannot be fixed ever, even with mods. You will never polish a turd into a diamond; It's so fucking depressing they waste the effort.

I love Tamriel Rebuilt.
Imagine having the absolutely best and most dedicated modding community of all time, working for two decades, with some of the best lore/writing to work with, on a game so fundamentally perfect not a single mechanic is useless or boring expect for sneaking, which is only boring because of how basic of a concept it is. You can play a functional jack of all trades character, the combat is snappy and fast, magic is excellent. It's just so good and yet they pour actual mainstream developer levels of craft onto a solid foundation that doesn't require much fixing anymore, even with mods.
You have no need to polish a diamond further; It's so fucking exciting they keep up such high levels of effort.

I can't wait to get to it. Right now I'm replaying Morrowind to completion then I'm going to check it out
>>
>>731056170
Haven't played it but I think it is the best Elder Scrolls game, here's why: My brother is gay and has a boyfrined. Legit sucks penis. He never played games but suddenly got addicted to Skyrim and Oblivion Remastered, did everything in the games, got 1000+ hours. Hence, the games are inherenitly gay. However, he got filtered by Morrowind and Fallout 3/4.

I love Morrowind but I really wish some of its fans, like you, would stop being so disingenuous with blatant lies about it.

GRAND and INTOXICATING
