I don't know i really love the way it looks seems to have decent variety, plus I am a huge fan of Nordic culture, which adds to it.retro himself said:

I was (and still kinda am) a big fan of Nordic culture, but Skyrim just looks like Oblivion still. There's nothing that 'pops' in the current screenshots.Ben Hussong said:
I'll just wait until it comes out to be the judge, but seeing as I haven't played Oblivion much either (though to be fair, I'm still holding it off until I buy a new and better PC).
Morrowind came out in 2002, and I still regularly play it today.
Oblivion was released in 2006, and I stopped regularly playing a couple of years ago, although I still occasionally piss about in the Shivering Isles every now and then.
Oblivion is a good game, but Morrowind is a great game.

Morrowind
Although it was far more difficult to get grounded in that world, it was far more rewarding.

RAAAGGHHH!!! I can't choose. I'll have to go with Morrwind because it has the gameworld I'd rather be in, but there's so many things Oblivion does better. I guess I like both equally but if pressed Morrowind. In fact, I'm going to install it and play it some more
I prefer Morrowind. There's a sense of unique culture to Vvardenfell that really drew me in. Oblivion was excellent too, but I really preferred how foreign everything felt in Morrowind. I've seen a lot of meadowy fantasy lands, but not very many mushroom trees and ashlands. I loved the music...I love the sheer amount of skills...I loved the amount of towns in the game...It felt bigger even though it's physically smaller than Oblivion.
Oblivion DID have the better graphics, combat and quests, but I still find myself in love with Morrowind's aesthetic and exploration elements.

With respect, what are you doing? Not using the fast travel system? I'm at 95 hours into Oblivion and I've completed the main quest, both Shivering Isles and Nine Pilgrimage (I couldn't remember the actual quest name) as well as the Dark Brotherhood quests. Granted I've not completed the Fighters and Mage Guild quests, but where's the fun in killing rats when you're god-like?Don said:
I liked Daggerfall. I prefered Morrowind over Oblivion I also prefered Daggerfall over Oblivion.
I guess what I'm trying to say is: Daggerfall is free go download it and play it.
Edit: Also Oblivion ruined the King of Worms and you can only hear "Mudcraps disgusting creatures" so many times before you wanna massacre the towns in Oblivion.

The Banhammer kinda disappoints me... It's such a weak weapon. Ah well, it is a wonderful addition to my collection.Epslion.Bear said:
Anyway, Morrowind. For almost everything. I even preferred the combat system. Mostly, it was unique. Oblivion became so generic, whereas Morrowind had this richly detailed original world, with much more variety. Sure, it doesn't really look pretty, but graphics are never a major hangup for me. That said, I'm loving Crysis 2's graphics right now. And everything else.
I found Oblivion's combat to be far superior to Morrowind's, and there was a lot of things I thought Oblivion did better than Morrowind. Fast travel, art style, and world-building are not amongst them.
Morrowind.
It had an unique universe and stlye to it
A city within the carpace of a giant dead crab?
Wizzards that live in big magic mushrooms?
Cities built within clay pyramids?
You can't beat these things by slapping the Elder-Scrolls-Stamp onto a generic fantasy universe, like Oblivion did it.

To be fair that felt more like a consequence of playing in Cyrodiil rather then a place like Morrowind. (The story felt too generic too, but you can't blame that on the location)Exterminas said:
Playing in a place like Black Marsh or Elsweyr would probably be just as entertaining and unique as Morrowind. However Skyrim still looks fairly good and it'll be nice to play an RPG in a norse realm as a cold-blooded reptile man.
Oblivion is better in ways, for one, in morrowind you could not block at all and the dark elves sounded coor, though thats a little thing. the graphics are worse in morrowind. though in moorrowind I much proffered the world, it seemed darker, while cyrodiil was a little to polished.
morrowinds physics were bad and rather annoying. oblivion didnt have face tattoos and the world has simply become boring due to lack of variety.
(I never got very far in morrowind)

Morrowind. I did enjoy Oblivion but its just too dull to get into for more than 1 playthrough. The graphics may be worse in Morrowind but the sheer amount of plot and diverse weapons/armor more than make up for it. I missed my throwing knives and spears in Oblivion.
