the thing with morrowind is that, on paper, it seems like the best game of all time. but in reality it's just a decent game that gets boring very quickly unless you have a larper's imagination. took me a long time to learn this.I always think I like Morrowind, want to play it, install it. Then I get bored after like 5-10 hours. Every single time. I think I'd need to go into a truly deep LARP mindset to really love it.
Same here, only it's always 5-10 minutes before I get bored. But I have attempted it at least 5 times.
It's the perfect type of game for a LP. I've been playing Baldur's Gate since I never beat it when it came out due to my PC being too shitty. I don't love the combat, but I can manage. I beat Eldritch in 9 hours but did not get the second ending. I finally bought Shadow Tactics since it was on sale. So far I have determined it is worth playing if you like the genre. People bitch about load times in the reviews, but they were only long when loading a mission and not that long at all really. When reloading from death it instantly loads up. Steam Reviews suck. You cannot play one thousand hours and then say the game is not good. You got one thousand hours of entertainment. Go spend more money asshole.
Currently wasting time on Football, Tactics, and Glory [Codex thread]. It's a mixture of tactical combat and a football manager (and it's Russian jank), in which you can control your players in a reasonably elaborate fashion. Pretty solid tactical element enhanced by a strategic layer. Characters gain experience and develop the skills which they use, acquiring a set of separate abilities like a longer pass that grants an extra turn, a less skill dependent tackle, etc. Experience gain is highly dependent on success, so scoring a goal or doing some saves against a tough club costs a lot more than drawing with a rubbish one.
I started on hard, and my team was the most miserable 1st level affair, but it all picks up after a couple of seasons. I was disappointed with the lame balance in Football Manager where your trash-tier team quickly gets into the first division - not here. And no unbearably slow unskippable animations either as in Bloodbowl.
There needs to be a wrestling version of this with backstage politics.
