you’d be mostly right about TES4: Oblivion, but Morrowind is a completely different clunk from it’s sequels.

I just played through Elder Scrolls V for the first time recently. That game is so damned clunky, I can’t imagine trying to wade through the same thing but 2 versions earlier.

I’m biased having played Morrowind first, but I’d argue it’s way better than its sequels in a lot of ways, so people are definitely missing out to skip it. The whole game world is hand crafted rather than being procedurally generated, the writing and worldbuilding are better, there was obviously a huge amount of work that went into building the RPG side of Morrowind that felt missing in later games.

Is Skyrim not all hand crafted?

I guess I’m not totally sure, I know Oblivion used a bunch of procedural generation and I assumed Skyrim did the same.

I think proc-gen with manual adjustments has been the norm for a long time now.

That’s hardly a fair judge of Morrowind, it’s very different from Skyrim. Oh it’s definitely clunky, but what we got with Skyrim was very streamlined in ways that hurt the role-playing elements. Morrowind is a little bit tougher to get into, but really rewards you for your time.

You obviously didn’t encounter any of the randomized unplanned interactive experience enhancing physics anomalies (Bugs) that is the best part.

Is it even possible to do an escort quest without running into one?

Quests? You’re clearly playing the game wrong.

I’m cross that oblivion got a remake but not morrowind. If they made morrowind but made actual combat animations instead of “lol u miss” “lol u sure suck at destruction spells” i think it would be a lot more popular with the youngins.
