Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists?

  I put hundreds of hours into that game and loved all 15 of them I spent actually playing

  I’d say TES as well, but with Oblivion > Morrowind. I had trouble getting used to it being more toward the RPG side than Action. But it’s rewarding if you see it through.

    I couldn’t ever get into oblivion since skyrim was my first Bethesda game and a lot of oblivion felt like (to me) slightly janky skyrim. I was able to get into morroeind though because it was just so diffrent.

      And I’m from the other end where I came from Morrowind and couldn’t get into Oblivion because it was so generic compared to the earlier game. Monsters leveling to the character made it so safe.

      I remember when the monster that was spawning everywhere changed type I knew I had leveled up.

  I actually did. After waiting 10 years for a new TES game after Skyrim, I got bored and installed Morrowblivion. Played that all the way through. Then I played Oblivion with some visual mods. It was still quite fun, though I didn’t do a full play through. If I hadn’t already done a full play through, then Oblivion would still be an awesome game after playing Skyrim.

  I agree, but going back to Morrowind is incredibly easy oddly. Oblivion was on the path to Skyrim, but Morrowind is in a totally different position.

  I managed to play and enjoy Oblivion after Skyrim, but found a brick wall when trying Morrowind.

  Oblivion’s graphics did not age well, but just about everything else about it was better than Skyrim.

  Better quest lines, better setting, better plot (probably, I never really get super far into the main quest of these games)…
