Why do people who've never played Morrowind, praise it so much?
>>736851589Same reason people who have played it praise it.
Having retard disease is infectious. People love to fit in with other hipsters.
>>736851589it's a storyfag game. you don't need to play it, just praise the lore and worldbuilding you read on uesp (or that a youtuber reads to you)
>>736851880the (main) story fucking sucks
>>736851589That's not a review, that's mental illness. A single modded Morrowind companion is a better game than 100% of what was released since Morrowind. When bioshock infinite came out, people were going wow VC about the compression npc mechanics that were vaguely a match for the average Morrowind npc companion. And I just picked a random element of Morrowind because no matter what I pick is an easy win. And if you really want to hate Morrowind pick Thief. What game today can compete with Thief in the same genre? None of them. Inferior subhumans such as women and browns and liberals make games now due to mistaken economic realities, owing entirely to an excess of goodness in white men's hearts, simple as.
>>736851928Morrowind is a casual faggot game. Dumb brown retard
If you have to begin your review by insulting the audience, your review is probably garbage.
>>736851589It appealed to the casual gamer by not being isometric slop like almost all of its peers. As a singleplayer RPG it's still one of the best out there decades later.
>>736851589The RPG genre is weak. Very weak. Probably the weakest traditional genre in gamingAlways has been.There are only three RPGs that can reasonably be put into a top 10 all-time GAMES list without being laughed, booed and egged off-stage. They are:>Jagged Alliance 2>Fallout>Deus ExThese three immortal masterpieces approach perfection even though they are tremendously ambitious. As such, they would not look out of place in a top 10 that included the likes of Civilization, X-COM and Master of Orion.Indeed, strategy is so damn strong, and such a TITAN of gaming, that we could only fit one of those three RPGs in. And it would HAVE to be Jagged Alliance 2. Because it's 10 times more complex than the other two and has actually got a strategy component, not just tactical and role-playing components. The fact that it seamlessly integrates these components = God-tier in gaming.Take the top-ranked RPG, Planescape: Torment. Now, put it in a top 10 with DOOM. Everyone'd be like, "What? Get that OUT". Because it's mostly just words.Thank you for reading, and have a lovely day.
>>736852387JA2 is an rpg
>>736851589>Why do people who've never played Morrowind, praise it so much?welcome to the internet, where groupthink rules
>>736851589old good new bad
>>736852387>Take the top-ranked RPG, Planescape: Torment. Now, put it in a top 10 with DOOM. Everyone'd be like, "What? Get that OUT". Because it's mostly just words.Gamers, everyone.
>>736851589They were told to
>>736851880This. There's genuinely not much reason to actually play Morrowind. The environments are drab and lifeless, and a lot of the architecture is copy and pasted. Only a fraction of the quests have design that goes beyond "go there, grab/kill thing." The combat isn't really much more than stat checks, which would work far better in a game that automates them, like the old BioWare DnD RPGs, rather than something like this that feigns mechanical interactivity. There's some fun in the late game when you basically go god mode, but since it's an absolute slog up until that point, and because there's not much interesting to actually do with those abilities, the payoff isn't really there other than "I can walk around Vivec without wanting to fucking kill myself with how long this takes." Anyone that actually likes Morrowind ends up praising the story more than anything and damns the rest. Hell, even interacting with the characters feels less like a video game and more like an interactive exhibit, especially since they less actually talk to you and more just operate like info kiosks. Anyone that's still playing Morrowind will say that the base game is fucking trash and usually shills something like TR that massively improves on the quest design and what not.
>>736851589sadly many played it before coming to that conclusion. bethesda games are babby's first rpgs, so they don't know how shit the games are
>>736851985Then mod it into a super hard game. That was doable back then retard
>>736851589You know this review means it cause it’s from like 2006 kek
>>736851589A tranny wrote this btw
why is morrowind full of trannies?
>>736853952Or save time and play a game that doesn't suck
>>736851589CRPGs are the worst genre of all time. Morrowind is good because it isn't one
>>736852470whoever wrote this must be in their 50s by now
I feel immeasurably superior since having played Morrowind, I thoroughly recommend it.
>>736851589speaking of this particular turd, what happened to that dude porting the whole fucking thing into elden ring's engine?
>>736851589>caring about the opinion of some rpgcodex fag who actually trooned out
>>736854323Ah yes. Like your favorite games you are too scared to list?
It's comfy, the characters are whacky and funny but I wouldn't call it a good game, oblivion has fun gameplay so it's better
>>736851589The funny thing about bethesda games is that every one of them gets shit on hard at launch before it becomes a beloved game later on. Happened to all the elder scroll games, fallout and now starfield.
>>736855270Not really, skyrim was very popular when it was released but after people started to complete the game they began to realise how shit it was, starfield will always be dogshit geg
>>736855209Naming another game wasn't requested previously, retard
>>736855270tends to happen when tasteless children grow up to be nostalgiafags
>>736851589It looks like shit and any graphical overhauls are shunned and shut down by their autistic community.It seriously needs a complete revamp at this point. No one wants to see eye cancer in the current year.
>>736855364Skyrim was shit on hard at launch by oblivionfags for dumbing down the game though
>>736852387>My Taste = Good>Your Taste = BadGreat post.

>NOOOOOOO STOP LIKING THINGSjust kill yourself already
>>736855986posting a video essay instead of your own thoughts actually supports the idea that morrowtards haven't even played the game>8 hourskill yourself
>>736856140just watch it bro it changed my life
>>736851589No, I'm pretty sure I've played the game. Everyone praises Morrowind because it's really is just a damn good game.
>>736854279That clearly Daggerfall in the background though?
>>736855476Graphics aren't an issue with morrowturd at allThe problem is that there is zero choice and consequence in what is supposedly a cRPGCombat is a braindead autoclicker with nonexistent tactics. Game plays itself on it's own.Out of 3 basic archetypes of a Mage, Rogue and a Warrior only one, a Mage, has anything at all going on for it, even if it's not much.In fact enemies are non-functioning as wellNo semblance of a balance exists, so you may as well play on cheats and a god mode a handful of hours inThere is zero of any depth at all in this gameNo dialogues nor characters to talk with evenThere is no challenge nor roleplaying here, it's utterly absurd. And the most hilarious thing is that Morrowfags actually try to claim that they play some hardcore and venerable cRPG. The dissonance between how they act and how much of a shallow console action game this is causes a massive friction whenever they try to buddy up with any actual cRPG community
>>736856476i mean its not like morrowind is a "crpg" or is trying to be. its its own kind of game that is focusing on different things.
>>736856001This. Starfield is a great game
>>736856476Morrowind isn't a cRPG, you fucking retard.
>>736856476it still looks like shit and that's why it doesn't matter
>>736856601if more anons were like >>736854418 then bethestards wouldn't have such a bad reputation. but many of them pop up to praise these games as the pinnacle of RPG design whenever the genre is brought up
>>736851589Western RPGs are made by and for faggots
>>736856680Are you havings blastenings with your half assed dlc sar
>>736856729It's a very shallow console action game (with bad action combat), I know. But that's not what people pretend it is.
>>736856805>NOOOOOOO STOP LIKING THINGSjust kill yourself already
>>736856869Saar be committing suicides for not promoting brahman games saar, be having blastenings it is mandatories
this is my wife kolfinna
>>736851589Hipsters gonna hipster.
how do I fit roleplaylike survival mods with being a wizard? honestly wizard dude having to go to inn or hunt dinner for himself doesn't sound immersive
>>736852653Correct on all points. Even with TR, the game is so limited in what can happen and how it plays that even when they release giant expansions to it with new massive cities, hundreds of quests and new faction questlines and what not, it can only conjure up a modicum of interest since the game plays in such a static fashion. The whole custom spells and becoming a god and what not isn't paired with any actual good gameplay, so morrowind is more of a game where you really like the ideas they are going for, but they aren't that great in excecution really. As you said, it's like the game is more of a vibes vehicle for reading lore entries, as every npc is just a wiki of lore entries you can have them read, and rarely ever have any personality or anything they can do. And unlike later entries in the franchise they just stand in the same spot 24/7 and can't really do anything dynamic.
>>736851928>And I just picked a random element of Morrowind because no matter what I pick is an easy win. And if you really want to hate Morrowind pick Thief. What game today can compete with Thief in the same genre? None of them. Inferior subhumans such as women and browns andWhat the fuck are you trying to say?
>>736857369She looks pretty anon but how is she going to bear your children with hips like that?
>>736855232>the characters are whackyyou're thinking of oblivion, morrowind characters have nothing differentiating each other other than their names. Yet another person who's only seen memes of icarian flight guy and Hlaalu perv guy and think the other npcs in the game are like that, they're not.
>>736857369
>>736853871>bethesda games are babby's first rpgsThis was the case for me. I picked up Morrowind GOTY from Best Buy because it was $10 and it looked fun.I had never played anything like it before, so even with the numerous and ridiculous bugs on the console version (too many items in a single container, or overwriting the same save file too many times bricking the save) I still put hundreds of hours into it and loved it.By the time I started using a gaming PC I tried playing again and realized I just couldn't get into it any more.
>>736856476People are mad that the later entries casualized mechanics from morrowind and made entire youtube careers pointing out these differences, but the truth is that within morrowind itself these mechanics have barely any function or meaning since it's all so barebones. People creaming themselves over how superior the factions are because if you join the fighter's guild and you're with the thieves guild you take a disposition hit or something and making it sound like it's this really in depth thing when in reality that's literally all there is to it, and the factions themselves they're talking about that this is attached to have no storyline or any npcs with any personality, just fetch quests, so there's in reality just so little there there.
>>736861458There is no evidence the less convoluted mechanics were popular at all.In fact getting rid of them made the games more popular.
>>736861152Title the gifSotha Sil pulls out his penis in front of a Nord barwench.
>>736862986it's just a contrarian Internet opinion. you'd see the same thing about all the useless daggerfall features that were removed in morrowind
A major sign of autism is believing people pretend to enjoy something you don't. The autistic brain struggles with understanding how people can like things it rejects and often comes to nonsensical conclusions like OP.I implore you to actually think about what you're suggesting and try to rationalize it. It's fucking retarded, isn't it?Just like you.
This thread is the proof of why people never took Codex or Watch seriously back then or even now.

>>736864517Kek
>>736851589It's a zoomer thing, they only played Skyrim and very rarely Oblivion, but think that pretending to like Morrowind makes them part of the "cool oldfag gamer crowd".

>>736864632They're just in it for the "in the know" memes.
>>736864534pretty much. it comes from cover shooters where you pop out and shoot before returning to cover. RPGcodex turned it into popamole and uses it to describe any simple or casual gameplay
>>736851589WRPG fans make JRPG fans look like well adjusted individuals
>>736851589>muh reviewDon't care, only my opinion matters.
>>736851920You fucking suck.
>le hardcore non-casual boomer crpg>30% words words words>65% walking slowly>5% autobattling>0% fun
>>736851920as far as video game stories go its definitely one of the better ones
>no gunswhy do people play this crap. Atleast jarpeegs are casual fun.
>>736865002>gothic and Morrowind are "simple and casual"I think I want everyone who uses this godforsaken website to be subjected to ten years of watching actual contemporary gaming.
>>736851589i can feel the weeb seethe radiating off this post
>>736866550I love both Morrowind and JRPGs, I don't see why anyone would feel the need to pit them against one another.
>>736866438it's all relative. single character m1 and mouse movement is simple compared to a recreation of AD&D with full party control
>>736866920Yeah, it's all relative, and if you pay so little attention to the rest of gaming that either of those games registers as "simple" just because there's some part of them that's more intuitive than fucking AD&D, your opinion is less than worthless.
>>736852653>hurr durr le game is always bad*yawn* do you guys have any new takes for once instead of just being a contrarian? I'm so tired of this just for the sake of contrarism. Being a contrarian for the sake of it isn't freedom.
>>736851589Its genuinely a pretty damn fun game. I'd actually say that other than the visuals, which don't get me wrong is a big deal, it's aged better than Oblivion
rpghq > rpg codex
>>736851589The only people who call morrowind a casual game are retards who think a smaller handmade world is a downgrade from procedurally generated slop or newfags who only played Daggerfall unity
Its the only Bethesdaslop game that kept my interest enough to finish the main story so its got that going for it.
>>736856476I enjoy Morrowind's combat more than the slog combat in Skyrim that you do for 80 percent of the game or TES4 level scaling spongey nonsense. It's not perfect but it's far better than the rest of the series. I enjoy my rpg combat having tons of dice rolls. I know I'm a minority in this but I don't care.
>>736866550Lilura1 hates those
>>736852387Fallout? Unno its full of bugs but I apreciate the time limit tho I can't help but prefer fallout 2
>>736856729You need to learn what CRPG actually means
>>736851589>Morrowind is the most overrated cRPG by a long shotI'm guessing that was written before BGay3 came out
Damn this thread is full of terrible takes.
>>736851589Oblivion and Skyrim are significantly worse than it, so if you like this type of game Morrowind mogs.
>>736851589This just made me realize the reason I've had such a hard time playing morrowind again lately is that I've done way too much of it a hundred times by now.I just need some new content.How do I get that mod adding mainland morrowind to the game?
>>736864632Zoomers are the ones constantly posting that overused webm of Morrowind's combat. Because apparently, skyrim's combat is just so amazing
People instantly treat you as a sick hardcore gamer when you do.
>>736867483So was the one yesterday, a shitposter is trying out new "takes".
>>736866438It's just retarded contrarians saying stupid shit so they can feel special
>>736867585why don't you play another game?
>>736867108ok man enjoy your popamole

>>736867368>>736867546"bettter than skyrim" isn't much of an endorsement. get some standards
>>736867369at least he knows what hes talking about, unlike many of the babies here who think they're crpg experts because they played a single old crpg.
>>736866550Weebs love Morrowind and TES. It's the oneof the few western CRPG series they actually like
>>736867691Because I still like and want to play morrowind.Wanting some new places to explore and NPCs to interact with doesn't have to mean giving up the underlying systems and gameplay I still enjoy.
>>736871846you want to play it, but you are having a hard time actually playing it. Is that fun?
>>736851589>gothicfag seethe
>>736872186Godlura1 hates popamole that is Gothic as well
>>736851589I've played every TES game, starting with Morrowind.Morrowind = Skyrim > Oblivion >>>> Daggerfall = Arena
>>736852653I enjoy the world and more Sandbox-System feel that morrowind has over modern BGS games.
>>736851589It says a lot that all of the people who love morrowwind and say morrowwind is the best game, do so by modding the game to make it not play anything like how morrowwind was designed to play, and to make it play in places that arent morrowwind. The most popular mods by far for 'morrowwind' are just porting arena and daggerfall to a different engine.
>>736852470This just seems like this guy doesn't like RPGs and like turn based tactics games instead, but for some reason really really wants the "title" of RPG for his favorite games.JA2 is one of my favorite games but why would you ever want to claim it's an RPG.The other weird point is how he's rating ToEE turn based combat on the same level as JA2 and Silent Storm when it's only hard for in the Moathouse, by the time you reach the temple proper it's just as easy as the average larian game.
>>736855497>>736855270People that grow up on shit games will then praise them out of nostalgia.Also skyrim gets extra praise because people don't even remember what the base game on release was like.
