Thread 723074446

The reveal screenshot from that magazine with the skeletons looked pretty mindblowing at the time, but on release it looked like shit yeah.

>>723074518
>on release it looked like shit yeah.
People didn't care and liked it. Fuck you revisionist spergs.

>>723074446 (OP)
It did look good and was pure undiluted sovl, kill yourself remake shill

>>723074890
Everyone besides retarded zoomers shat on it for being dumbed down slop

>>723074446 (OP)
It had nice water

>>723074446 (OP)
It's simple:
>Characters
Trash
>Dungeons
Trash
>Nature
Absolutely gorgeous

>>723075072
Stfu why even make random shit up like this

>>723074446 (OP)
Everybody complained about the bloom and called all the characters Mr. Potato heads endlessly.
What is this revisionism?

>>723074446 (OP)
I was there, I was alive when this released. and the graphics were like wow, amazing, dream come true tier. but running like shit on anything but the best PC of the day

It looked bad in 2006

>>723075072
Zoomers were wearing diapers when this came out. You're a fucking retard.

>>723074446 (OP)
who cares, the remastered version is out and its the best looking Bethesda game by a MASSIVE margin

>>723074446 (OP)
Arena Looked like ass
Daggerfall Looked like ass
Morrowind Looked like ass
Oblivion Looked like ass
Skyrim Looked like ass

Looking like ass is part of the charm.

ITT: shitrim zoomers posing as le ebin oldfags

>>723074446 (OP)
Can confirm. I was 5 years old when this came out and I immediately came to 4channel just to praise its graphics and make millennisharts mald and seethe more.

>>723074446 (OP)
Boomers are the ones that grew up with it

seeing the city and the rolling green hills for the first time was pretty mind blowing

i also remember the feeling of leaving the vault in fallout 3 being pretty impressive

>>723075926
Bethesda has always had great intros to their games.

>>723074446 (OP)
I actually remember /v/ when Skyrim came out and the consensus was that Skyrim was great and that Oblivion was shit before the /v/ contrarian screechers took over as they always do. You can watch it happen right now in real time with Silk Song if you're interested.

As a Morrowind OG I also remember hating Oblivion when it came out because it was style over substance and you couldn't do a fraction of the things you could in Morrowind.

>>723075926
The consensus for Fallout 3 was that it was great, the majority of its hate came from bad faith produced by Bethesda fucking over Obsidian and then promptly burying both games in the anals of history to shill Fallout 4 forever.

>>723076328
What could you do in Morrowind that you couldn't in Oblivion?
Inb4 use spears.

>>723075648
Nah I was like 8 and the discourse with my friends and I was "holy shit it's like lord of the rings gta". We liked it so I think they succeeded at making it accessible to idiots

>>723074446 (OP)
I remember thinking the landscapes and a lot of the architecture looked incredible. I was especially impressed by the grass. Hadn't really seen that in a game before, at least to that extent.

But I do think it aged really fast and it didn't take long before it looked really crunchy and out of date. Especially since it had such shockingly bad art direction.

>>723075724
>Skyrim also looks bad so therefore Oblivion looks good
Brain beyond repair.

>>723076793
You being 8 doesn't preclude wearing diapers.

>>723076629
Fly, among other things.

>>723076903
Yeah no age really does you pedantic faggot

>>723076981
But since you're a mouth breathing retard, it's true in your case.

>>723075203
The ayleid ruins look 100x better than Skyrim’s draugr caves

>>723076629
>What could you do in Morrowind that you couldn't in Oblivion?
Become a Werewolf. Levitate. Fly. Kill anyone. Wear clothes and armor simultaneously. Much more granular armor. Taunt. Sleep anywhere. There are probably more.

>>723077068
And the ayleid ruins look way worse than Skyrim's Dwemer ruins and Oblivion has nothing that comes close to Blackreach.

>>723076629
Questlines for each guild hall rather than one questline total for a faction

>>723077148
Skyrim’s Dwemer ruins were pathetic.
They were too lazy to make a Direnni civilization so instead they broke the lore and stole shit from Morrowind.

>>723074446 (OP)
Spamming/flooding

>>723076629
Having to be actually strong enough in game to be declared guild master instead of just inheriting it by ruining the guild. Way more factions such as the 3 Houses and 2 different assassin guilds.

>>723077063
What's true? That it doesn't preclude it? What are you even trying to say?

>>723077230
The ayleid ruins are way more forgettable than the Dwemer ruins you stupid faggot, they were literally the same but greyer and mostly caves.

>>723077337
That you needed to wear diapers much longer than everyone else. Being a retard, I can why you'd have trouble following.

>>723077349
At least they were a new culture. Dwemer have already been explored fully in TesIII. They geographically also aren’t supposed to have been anywhere near the province of Skyrim.
TesV’s developers were just lazy.

>>723077235
You gonna cry about it?

Is skyblivion done yet…?

>>723077093
Levitate and fly are the same thing.
You lose credibility about "being able to do a fraction.." when you use the same example twice.

>>723077173
Every guild Hall in Morrowind had the same template. Do random shit until you are in charge.

>>723077696
Ignore this guy everyone, he's a cherrypicking faggot. Pretend he is shadowbanned.

>>723077093
You can't kill everyone in Morrowind without using exploits or mods.

That is why you can meet Jiub in Skyrim. They know you didn't kill him in Morrowind.

>>723077830
> Ignore this guy destroying my argument.

Sucks to be you.

>>723077830
What is the special questline in the Sadrith Mora mages guild?
Back up your point or tuck tail and run.

>>723078179
Wolverine Hall mages guild is focused largely on vampire research and killing.

>>723078263
So what quests do you get from Sadrith Mora for that narrative arc?
Is it any different than the recomendation quests from Oblivion.

The argument made was Morrowind had so much more to do than Oblivion. This does not appear to be the case.

>>723078647
Look it up on the wiki
https://en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Mage%27s_Guild_(Wolverine_Hall)
And the claim was specifically that a faction having multiple questlines is better than it having only one.

>>723078647
Sadrith Mora has a tonne of quests you fucking moob. The Telvanni are based out of Sadrith Mora. The Telvanni being one of the 3 great houses of Morrowind that was mentioned in a post that you chose to ignore. Why don't you list all the super interesting factions in Oblivion so we can compare.

>>723078647
This anon googling for his life.

>>723077614
Im still waiting too. That 2025 release date keeps inching away

>>723078721
Oblivion had the recomendation quests in addition to the necromancer one.
Morrowind just had the equivalent of the recomendation tier quests without an overarching narrative. It would appear Oblivion has more thought faction wise.

>>723078772
You are correct. It also has nothing to do with what is being talked about.

Thanks for trying to contribute though.

>>723078968
You can keep ignoring all the anons pointing out other factions in Morrowind that have fleshed out quest lines with side quests but it won't make your dick grow back.

>>723078876
No. I am arguing the point I made not the one you are comfortable debating.
Once again, sucks to be you.

>>723079054
>has nothing to do with what is being talked about.
>Because I specifically homed in on one specific Mages guild in one specific town to prove that Morrowind has no content
You're a fucking idiot, I'm not talking to you anymore. You have no credibility.

>>723078968
Oblivion’s mages guild started out really well but ended like a wet noodle with their depiction of “Mannimarco”

>>723079086
As long as nobody argues the point I made I see no need to respond.

It is clear none of you are able to make a valid point. Call for reenforcements because you lot are overmatched.

>>723074446 (OP)
this game is millenialcore dipshit.

>>723079152
You have a stunning lack of intellect so the conversation can only improve with your absence.
So thank you.

>>723079410
Sorry anon, but you lost an hour ago when you decided to cherry pick and make the argument about something it wasn't because you personally have nostalgia for game B rather than game A.

>>723079231
It was just clearing up loose ends from the Dragonbreak from Daggerfall.
Don't overthink it.

>>723079478
I made the argument you are trying to debate.
You can't change the terms just because you are losing.

>>723075581
I was trying to find the old tom's hardware article where the game just came out and every available GPU and CPU combination couldn't hit 30fps, even at lower resolutions, because of how demanding the game was. Turns out tom's purged all of their old content for whatever reason, odd because even IGN keeps all of their shit around.
I did find a Russian one from 2014 that did a similar test and yeah it's not very pretty. It's only when they moved to the then-current hardware like the 660 Ti did they finally see reasonable numbers.

>>723076328
Back then there was a focal group of morrowind modders who dominated the board and treated morrowind like smash players treated melee.

They hated everything that wasn't morrowind, don't get me wrong, morrowind is great but they're too fucking obsessed.

I made a thread in 2014 saying oblivion was good and it hit 400 replies in half an hour from these spastic retards who wanted me dead.

>>723077696
>Questlines for each guild hall rather than one questline total for a faction

>What is the special questline in the Sadrith Mora mages guild?
You're right, you win because you chose to home in one one specific exception to the rule while also ignoring all the other content in that specific town that strengthen the original point of there being lots of contents per location rather than per faction. Your completely asinine example of Sadrith Mora doesn't even touch the original point let alone defeat it. You are a simpleton. No Sadrith Mora Mages Guild being one room does not detract from the fact that every other mages guild in every other town more or less has unique content. Morrowind has way more mages guilds than Oblivion too by the way, so even with that one exception there are still more unique Mages guilds where the quest is not "do fetch quest then you can join the real mages guild"

>>723079865
Morrowind fanatics are a tiny but vocal group.
It gets smaller each year as nature takes its course.

>>723074446 (OP)
>zoomers
yeah of course OP is a faggot as always
enjoy your """""remaster""""", faggot

>>723079978
Why do you keep bringing up the entire town when the point in contention is faction specific?
It is like you know you have lost but still want to argue.

If you want me to debate points you wish I had made I understand. I won't but I understand you wanting to argue points you could actually win.

>>723077446
time to get to bed grandpa

>>723074446 (OP)
Do i wait until Skyblivion or do I play the remaster?

>>723079978
Point out the guild hall in Morrowind that had the best narrative questline attached to it.

Oblivion had quests you could investigate and become engaged with the guilds. Morrowind had little more than " Get Quest, Do Quest" level of interaction.
