Morrowind is a much more varied, deeper, game with more RPG elements, more factions, more quests, more weapons, more armors... just more of everything.
And the main quest is more entertaining. More intresting and better written. I even prefer the stat based combat in Morrowind to the button pressing in Oblivion.
The leveling system in Morrowing actually works... you get stonger by exploring and questing, no horrible enemy auto leveling to make your character progression pointless.
Its just a better game in almost every aspect but graphics... but if your PC can handle it, the Morrowind Graphics Extender fixs that.
The horrible dice-based combat prevents me from going back to Morrowind, although by now there may be some mod for that. Oblivion was mediocre overall but Fallout 3 improved on it so I'll be interested to see whether Skyrim takes it even further.
I think morrowind was more interesting because of the setting and actually having different areas,
Oblivion had better gameplay, no more epic battles with f'ing mice
both suffered horribly from balance issues and a terrible leveling system...
[QUOTE="Shika_Stoner"]Morrowind has a smaller Landmass, 8km vs 16km. Rest are true though. Morrowind seemed larger though, and made you want to explore it. Oblivion's landmass for the most part was bland and uninspired.Loved both but prefer Morrowind's larger landmass and equipment and faction variety.

Oblivion's landmass for the most part was bland and uninspired. Morrowind seemed larger because it was heavily restrictive and you moved at a snails pace whereas in Oblivion you move at stupidly high speeds with even mediocre athletic ability. Shivering isle uses the same map design ideals as Morrowind and it seems tiny because of the movement speed. Once you get boots of blinding speed and either mod or glitch them to not blind you Morrowind is pretty obviously tiny as well.Loved both but prefer Morrowind's larger landmass and equipment and faction variety.

Really? It certainly felt larger anyways. Maybe because of the lack of horses and universal fast travel. Plus the landscape seemed much more populated with small villages and the like. Not just the big cities.
The combat was improved? I didn't notice it, was still far too mindless to be any good.The only thing Oblivion did better was combat, aside from that Morrowind > All.

Morrowind is a better rpg. Oblivion is an action/adventure game with some rpg elements (still a good game though).
Also, mods can easily improve graphics, animation, and combat in Morrowind to improve the experience.
Morrowind is the best open-world RPG I've played. :)KHAndAnimeThis, oblivion was good but as a person who spent countless hours on oblivion and morrownd the oblivion world seemed too plain. A lot of the terrain was recycled and so were the caves/dungeons in oblivion, while morrowind on the other hand was way more unique in how the world was structured and not so recycled. I just hated how slow i ran in the beginning of morrowind
(my personal favorite was shoplifting, dumping the goods somewhere in the forest, doing the time, then getting out and collecting them :lol:.). DethSkematikYou can do that in Oblivion too...
Only when Oblivion has been modded.
Also, for anyone who claims Morrowind is better because of its RPG elements and depth needs to play Daggerfall. Morrowind is a linear action game compared to Daggerfall.

Can't wait to play Daggerfall wen the DaggerXL port is completed. It's still a long wile before its going to be completed, but damn the wait is worth it. Hope they reach beta soon.
I hate Oblivion. I wish I could trade in my copy but i've got the pc version, so yea. Morrowind was vastly superior. I loved exploring the wastelands, i loved the atmosphere and although the combat was a little hard to get into at the begginning, it grew on me. I prefer it over Oblivions combat. I'm being a little unfair on Oblivion because im talking about Vanilla Oblivion. With mods like OOO and Franscecos (sp?) it made the game enjoyable. But it still lacked all the other aspects which made Morrowind awesome.

I bet in 10 or 15 years time people will talking about the good old days of Oblivion and disliking Elder Scrolls 7 or 8.Only when Oblivion has been modded.

Yeah, though that is true, and I agree, I also feel that part of the reason it felt large was the ridiculously slow walking and running speed..Loved both but prefer Morrowind's larger landmass and equipment and faction variety.

I have to agree TC...I have tried playing Morrowind a few times and never got past 10 minutes of play...I get tired of being chased by a woman with a spoon that kills me..EVEN when Im hitting her with a sword. Just plain ignorant game play.
Oblivion is the 1st game of that type Ive ever played,beat and put in 400ish hours...YES its repetitive,and sometimes you get lost on what you are supposed to do..BUT miles better in every way then Morrowind.
I bet in 10 or 15 years time people will talking about the good old days of Oblivion and disliking Elder Scrolls 7 or 8.locopatho:lol: There can never be "good old days of Oblivion". Skyrim is going to take everything Oblivion did well and do it 10x better. There will still be the Morrowind elitists down the road, but most people will either stick it out with the first three, or embrace the change. I will probably do both... >_> I've been meaning to get into Morrowind, and this Oblivion-engine mod/port will probably help. I just need a new computer now... :(
I already have a free bootable version of the game but this is considerably more interesting (if by "modern" they mean making the controls less clunky). I'm actually kind of glad Bethesda released the game for free... now everyone can actually experience how far the series fell with Morrowind. But then again, it has been changed completely with Oblivion and subsequently Skyrim. I personally enjoy it more as an action-adventure, and Daggerfall as the RPG.foxhound_fox
You can check more here (plus a long video starting from the dungeon to the outside world, showing a lot of stuff). I think its ben months since i heard about it, and i've ben keeping a open eye out for it waiting for them to finish it. There's so much potential with it, i hope to God they don't drop it, because i really have ben in the mood to play Daggerfall for a wile now, but i hate Dosbox.

You cannot.. be serious. Elder Scrolls = PC, the mods are as important to the game as the game itself. (look at modded Morrowind, ageless beauty because of the mods)
Elder Scrolls.. on consoles.. missing out on thousands of free content stuff.. SMH

The core game is whats being talked about. Why bring up mods and added on mess? IF a game is good..its good regardless of platform. Morrowind stinks...Oblivion is better..thats called opinion.
