They are completely different stories.

Buy it brother. The only way you'll hate it is if you absolutelydespise playingsolewith only thecpu. Even if you are heavy into online gaming, view oblivion as a gourgeous walk in the woods to clear you headbetween matches.

as did i. you definitely dont have to play marrowind to get into oblivion :D

well i played morowind on my pc and decided it was gonna be fun because i mean... isnt oblivion fun?

No offsen to all the morrowind lovers but i hated that game so much i fell asleep lpaying it. Its like a frickin textbook. YOu ask something and tehy give you 2 pages to read from. Its SOOOO text heavy and you have absolutely no idea what you're doing the entire time. I hope oblivion is a lot more fun becasue i sure hated morrowind

I'm thining of picking up the game soon but wanted to know if i had to play Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind before playing this one. Says on the Oblivion site a sequel to Morrowind. Will i be lost if i play this game without playing any of the previous installments? Hope i don't get bored seeing as this game is a love it or hate it kinda game. TM1

Oblivion's quest log works much more fluidly because it lets you choose any quest you want from your journal and set it as your current quest. This will organize all the info you need, and put a marker on your compass that tells you where to go. My brother played through most of the game by skipping the text and just following the markers on the radar, so you could easily do the same. Oblivion is much more accessible than Morrowind.

No, you don't need to play Morrowind. And you probably shouldn't, because once you see the greatness of Morrowind, it's hard to play trash like Oblivion.

If you're looking for an RPG, well, look elsewhere. Oblivion is not an RPG- it's a slightly-stat based adventure game.

sam again peple, lol. a great game that is worth the money

You wont be bored. I never liked RPGs and I love it. I find it hard to believe that people dont like this game. Theres soo much to do. This is probably one of the only offline only game that you will feel u got your moneys worth.Sedin44

It's exactly because you never liked other RPGs (mainly japanese RPGs I think) that's why you really like this game and won't believe how others may not like this game.

This game is too open ended for its own good, it's almost like an online MMORPG but with only yourself in it. Which made it lonely and boring.

I just bought it yesterday but haven't started playing yet. Anyone have any tips?

O.o ... trash like Oblivion ? Oh man I have to say Morrowind was a god-awful game. Visually the game was great (look at the water effect; it had the best. Minus the fact that you and NPCs walked like a retard the game play itself was terrible (not knowing where you are aiming with bow and arrow), quests are completely abstract, most of the times you had no idea where to begin and end. Oblivion was a big improvement. The combat system was more friendly, quests were not all that ambiguous, visually stunning(NPCs did not walk like they had something up their anus) . Never the less, there are some factors that I did not like about Oblivion. The first one would be the bugs, there are tons of minor bugs, but does not really hinder your game play. Second would be lack of armors and weapons. For such a massive game like this, there could have been more dynamic range of weapons and armors. zidanem9c

A couple points.

-At the time of Morrowind's release, no game had very interactive NPCs. You can't trash a game by modern standards because it would've been impossible (Morrowind already required a beast of a system at the time- it would've just gotten worse) to impliment.

-Granted some of the quests in Morrowind weren't very clear, the solution is not to just throw up a red arrow on the screen which will take you to exactly where you need to go. Perhaps it would be ok if it were a known location, but when it's an item that's "somewhere" in a cave, well, it doesn't make sense to lead you by the hand. Furthermore, the cost of having less ambigious quests is that you have no choice any more...your only choice in the game is to accept the quest or not accept it. In one quest, the person asks you not to tell someone else about an item they have...well, he needn't worry- I don't even have the dialogue option.

-The combat is more friendly in Oblivion only because it's based off rules of action games, not RPGs. If Bethesda called it an action game, I'd have no complaints, but player skill should have little effect in an RPG.

exactly. you cant compair older game to newer ones and say things like the graphics arerubbish on the older one. that's like saying ff7 is rubbish coz the graphics are lame compaired to ps3's capabilities. compairit toother games of its day.

that said, i haven't morrowwind, nor am i likley to as i dont like putting games on my pc.

but oblivion is amazing. you generally dont get bored with the game, coz if you cant be bothered with one section of the game, eg main quest, there's always other options for you, fighters guild, mages guild, thieves guild, dark brotherhood, misc quests, etc...etc... top game
