Bruh, that's just being well read.Reminder that Kirkbride is a hack, and that Morrowind is nothing but digested refuse from the pages of Etidorhpa.

are you pro or anti mushroomHow this thread started:
"Morrowind was already the decline from Daggerfall's unreasonable ambition of simulating an entire world that could have been built up further with slow improvements to the functionality of simulation features interspersed with dungeon crawling, but instead of codified the genre of open world freeform RPG that led us into the further decline of Oblivion and Skyrim, which everyone on this forum already hates. Open your eyes and see that it was the decline of Morrowind in its goals that could only naturally progress into further deceline of the next games!"
How it's going:
"Morrowind is the shittiest game in the Elder Scrolls series, literally irredeemable garbage compared to fun and well-structured games like Oblivion. The only people who care about it are mushroom faggots!"
It also seems to have amazingly picked up the pace of shittalking once that shift happened. So many pages of shitposts to mentally dismiss each day.

By this reasoning, Etidorhpa is nothing but a junkie's copycat of Journey to the Center of the Earth (published 30 years earlier and already sporting mushroom forests, strange reptiles and hollow earth).Reminder that Kirkbride is a hack, and that Morrowind is nothing but digested refuse from the pages of Etidorhpa.

And Gilgamesh as well certainly didn't sprouted suddenly from nothingness.Every work of fiction is either the Epic of Gilgamesh, or a rip-off.By this reasoning, Etidorhpa is nothing but a junkie's copycat of Journey to the Center of the Earth (published 30 years earlier and already sporting mushroom forests, strange reptiles and hollow earth).Reminder that Kirkbride is a hack, and that Morrowind is nothing but digested refuse from the pages of Etidorhpa.
Yeah but you can't prove anything if it wasn't written down.And Gilgamesh as well certainly didn't sprouted suddenly from nothingness.Every work of fiction is either the Epic of Gilgamesh, or a rip-off.By this reasoning, Etidorhpa is nothing but a junkie's copycat of Journey to the Center of the Earth (published 30 years earlier and already sporting mushroom forests, strange reptiles and hollow earth).Reminder that Kirkbride is a hack, and that Morrowind is nothing but digested refuse from the pages of Etidorhpa.
Oh boy, this forum really isn't ready for my take

During the summer of this year, the people at Bethesda Softworks saw fit to inflict upon us another expansion to The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Bloodmoon has you investigating werewolves on the snowy island of--oh, who gives a shit? It's the same old hopelessly dull Morrowind gameplay. You run around fairly pretty countryside beating the tar out of hordes of stupid cliff racers doing completely pointless quests that involve murdering people for no real reason and occasionally 'talking' to the walking search engines the game calls NPCs. Morrowind is a terrible game and the expansions for it don't seem to fix any of that horror.
At this point I'm convinced developers keep steering into the decline and releasing shit games so people think the older steaming pile of shit tastes slightly better than the brand new steaming pile of shit.Here's a blast from the past, from 2003: The Year in Review. Oh how the times have changed.

The reason older games have a better reputation than more recent ones is because everyone left talking about the game are fans. People who didn't like it as much moved on and aren't around to hold the game accountable for its flaws.Here's a blast from the past

Geneforge is a great game that is conceptually entirelly different from Morrowind.
Morrowind was fun as an exploration game. Too linear main plot for my liking. Dress-up was cool (especially with a castle mod to store all your stuff). The dialogue system needs to be revamped though. I hated sifting through 50 dialogue options looking for the one that screamed "quest".
A larger variety of monsters would've been nice (not just Cliff Racers). Better yet if the animals didn't all attack you on site. I can go outside without the local Magpies fighing me to the death so I don't see why everything in Morrowind has to.
The game lost all point once I'd become God-like and finished the main quest. After that there was no interest in encountering "yet another Daedra temple" or "yet another tomb with skeletons".
In short, it was nice to look at. I don't care much about "Morrwind 2". With Bethesda all cashed up, I'd really like to see them create a worthy Fallout RPG with a main plot that's not as straight as an arrow. I'm confident they'll make it look nice, I'm concerned what they're going to do with the dialogue however or if there'll be dialogue in any form other than a wikipedia. Hopefully they'll have a chat with Troika and nick some ideas on dialogue trees.
