Oblivion vs. Morrowind... with Mods

Well, this poll is pretty straightforward. Which Elder Scrolls game do you feel is the best after you take into account the various mods available? Doesn't matter what mods you use. And list any mods you think makes one the better game over the other.

I love both games but.

Morrowind>>>>>>>>>>>>Oblivion

Morrowind would be better even without mods :p

Morrowind, simply because all the mods for Oblivion are mods that make your character "sexy" and everything nude, etc.fudgeblood

I didn't really like Morrowind but I absolutely hated Oblivion (a truly terrible game by any standard) so I'd have to go with Morrowind by default.

Morrowind. Easily.

I agree, Oblivion has the best mods IMO. Although most people will hate Oblivion here on the forums (in real life its the exact opposite), that's the reason I got into PC gaming. Oblivion was truly a bland game by itself, but it had potentialwhich the modding community covered very well.

With mods like Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul and the community patch, Oblivion became a much better game and far more enjoyable. I'll vote for Oblivion because in the end I played it for longer than Morrowind, but I think they are both great games for different reasons.

Actually on these forums, if you said anything negative about Oblivion, you were crucified in the 1st 3-4 months of its release. As many had forseen however, the more people played it, the more underwhelmed they became with the game and now you are seeing what many had stated early on. Oblivion is shallow. With exception to a couple of mods, Morrowind had a far supperior modding scene. I was there at the peak of both games and I modded for both games and unfortunatly, Oblivion lost some key modders because it was a mediocre game. The opposite was true of Morrowind. As time went on, Morrowind modding became stronger until Oblivion was released then it stagnated. The funny part is that people still mod for Morrowind after all these years despite Oblivions release.

1 vote for Morrowind.

Oblivion is a good game.

Wrong place for this question. Dont you know that hating Oblivion is what all the "cool kids" on this forum do?

What is really funny is the comment that says all the mods in Oblivion make your character sexy or nude. Especially funny considering that mods fix the main gripes about Oblivion people on this forum have.

With mods I'd say Oblivion. The mods are overall much better then those in Morrowind and personally I enjoyed Cyrodil more then Vardenfell. MadCat46

Morrowind by far. Most of the mods I got for Oblivion were to makeup for it's shortcomings. On the flip side, without mods, Morrowind was very good, with mods, it was excellent.

morrorwind was awesome....i think it was much better than oblivion

graphics in oblivion, with the exception of the faces were awesome compared to morrorwind

but morrorwind was much better story, gameplay, imersion, and sound.

There are a lot more Oblivion Mods than Morrowind. This also because Oblivion needed a lot more improvement. :shock:

Morrowind, hands down! Morrowind kept me addicted for around 3 years. Oblivion?, only a month.( I still liked it, but it didn't keep me at all)

Morrowind first. 600+ standard quests + the new Tamriel mod = holy ****.

Oblivion is a VERY close second, since it improved on everything Morrowind did, but... how do I say it? I dunno.

It's like comparing HL to HL2. HL wins. But I don't mean the Morrowind vs. Oblivion thing being revolutionary.

You get the point...

Went back to Morrowind maxed all the settings and just stood on red mountain

and enjoyed the wiev :? they will never make games like that again:cry:

It's not even close. I don't know why it should surprise anyone here, Morrowind has been out for much longer, and Morrowind's modding community today is not only alive, but possibly even more experienced than Oblivion's modding community - proof being in the advanced nature in many of the mods. Another thing is that since Morrowind has been out longer, the game has had more time for the game's bigger mods to be released, which is why Morrowind has quite a few huge mods that add continents and mass amounts of content to the game.

EDIT: Another advantage of Morrowind's modding is that anybody can mod in quests and change dialogue without breaking immersion. But as for Oblivion, you can't really add anything to the game unless you're willing to

A) Add voice to the new NPC text you put in

or

B) Leave the voices out, breaking Oblivion's immersion (however little it had).

[QUOTE="dakan45"][QUOTE="KHAndAnime"] No, there aren't more Oblivion mods than Morrowind mods. I'm sure more than half the people here claiming that "Oblivion is better than Morrowind because you can mod it" fail to realize that Morrowind has MUCH more mods, some adding additional continents to the game.KHAndAnime

Not that I really want to get into it since I agree morrowind was a better game, but for oblivion I don't think most of the modders use planet elder scrolls, TESNEXUS has 1771 pages of oblivion mods, and only 128 pages of morrowind mods. Now it is hard for me to remember back to the days of morrowind but I don't remember tesnexus being around back then.

Yet for most people(myself included), the dumb hack and slash provides more entertainment and fun.

Also, going from daggerfall to morrowind, nobody should have seen oblivions simplified gameplay as a surprise compared to morrowind.

Oblivion also has a mod where it adds the entire world of Elder scrolls 3 into Oblivion.

Here's the site I use for Mods:

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/categories.php

Oblivion has close to 10,000 mods

You can't go wrong with options like that. You're basically building the Oblivion game for you.

can't say.. o love da two games :D lol
