She has good taste in games

Morrowind was fun. I personally prefer Oblivion and Skyrim.

For the unitiated, ESO was made by Zenimax online studios, not Bethesda. So the good news is, Bethesda has wasted no time, and has been very busy making single player games. Bad news is, Zenimax gave the project to a studio with nothing to its name, and proceeded to put undue pressure on them to release the game half-finished and shite.
 
tldr; Things could have been a lot worse.

@kleptomage  
It’s probably going to turn out to be a big loss in funds, either way.

@Keltic Owlet7  
No. Elder Scrolls Online doesn’t have mod support. It couldn’t. Being an MMO, there would be balance issues. I have no interest in ESO and predict it will die slowly. What I want is the next real Elder Scrolls game which I fear ESO has delayed the development of.

@kleptomage  
Does TES Online have mod support? If it doesn’t then it’s guaranteed to be dead in a few months. I played the beta a few weeks before release and it was total rubbish.

HERESY! Maybe! Let me go play Morrowind then come back.

@Keltic Owlet7  
Bethesda keeps making buggy unfinished games because they know they can get away with it. They know any new Elder Scrolls game is guaranteed massive sales, game of the year, and high praise from “game journalists.” They know the robust modding community will pick up their slack. The modding community does not get enough credit for the work they do improving the games. The best modders should get paid for their service. Better yet, Bethesda should hire the outstanding modders and have them replace the chuckleheads who thought up shit like Skyrim’s UI.

Have you ever played Daggerfall without fan patches? It isn’t just a few things here and there, the entire games is a broken mess. Even character creation is bugged (for example, your choice of race has no effect at all on gameplay.) The practice of releasing rushed and unfinished games has continued to this day at Bethesda Softworks. Mods and fan patches can’t excuse the practice.

@Keltic Owlet7  
To be fair, there’s at least a few metric fucktons of content in all of Bethesda’s games, one example is the open-world-ness and the fact that almost every character you meet [that aren’t bandits] have unique dialogue. Having all that code in one place, it wouldn’t be hard for a few things to fuck up here and there.

You know what really annoys me? when people who played only skyrim and none of the other games in the series think they know everything about TES lore when really they know hardly anything. Also i hate it when people refer to the other games as a “skyrim game”

 
Seriously, Morrowind is the better game but Skyrim is by no means bad.

I tried playing Morrowind twice. It felt PAINFULLY dated.

…Gamershy? God, these memes get dumber every fucking day.

I’ve tried to play morrowind but the combat system and graphics are so shitty that I just gave up

@TheGargantuan  
Are you perhaps implying that maybe this has less to do with fidelity to the series and more to do with people who played morrowind stroking their egos over the much larger group of people who have played skyrim?
 
Because that is just silly, behavior like that is not tolerated on the internet

I find it adorable that Morrowind Fans like to hawk on Oblivion and Skyrim yet can’t even list the number of features and mechanics that were originally in Daggerfall that didn’t make it over to Morrowind.

@kleptomage  
Hug me, Bruhthah! But seriously I had more fun with Morrowind, than any other ES game I’ve played(Can’t speak on Skyrim have not played) it had a certain charm to it, and guards could stop you if you went on a killing spree.

Morrowind is the best game in the Elder Scrolls series and I could gush about it for hours. Skyrim is decent but there are many things Morrowind did better.

*awful

@Whatevs  
I have the same problem with Skyrim’s aweful console oriented UI.
