Guy sitting here talking about how watered down Oblivion is compared to Morrowind, 🌳suggesting that this is somehow the same as what Skyrim did to Oblivion, in terms of dumbing down.

While he says nothing of daggerfa✤ll, and how ♔damn watered down Morrowind is.

But the reality is this. Oblivion. Yes is much moreꦏ streamlined and dumbed down then Morrowind. And Skyrim the same of Oblivion. But all of them are good in their own way and have their own position in the series. But the nostalgia for Oblivion is not just nostalgia. It was a really good game. Just the Skyrim is a really good game. Just as Morrowind and daggerfall both. Now would I like Skyrim if it was like daggerfall? Hell yeah. Do I think that it's plausible to do that with that size and scope with the cost and same depth that Skyrim has for its characters, locations, and design? I don't think it's possible no. Not within a decade or more of production time. Because what people seem to not recognize is why the later games look and feel so much better, and why the story is so much deeper, yet the mechanics are much more streamlined and the maps smaller. There was a lot of procedural stuff going on that p🌱eople would complain about today. Today. That within the nostalgic realm, as well as into playing of a game from that. That you can push back yourself back into and enjoy within its limitations. But you're not going to get something from scratch that is like daggerfall. Not without a lot of complaints about the obvious procedural generation and repetitive use of that assets and quests and dialogue.

The same goes for Morrowind size, and Oblivion sized, but what they did with Oblivion is exactly what they shouඣld do with Morrowind and daggerfall. Use the underlying existing elements, add new assets such as voice and some editing to the dialogue processes, rebuild the 3D assets for today . And maybe it'll be great. I think there's a lot of underlying variables people just don't realize though.

Even when it originally came out, I didn't understand why people threw such a fit. If you don't want it, if you think it's ugly, then don't buy it. The aesthetic fomo to call developers greedy when, of course their sole purpose is to make money, is amusing. Now having to pay DLC prices for something that is necessary to complete a game or makes it easier to the "this is the actual difficulty" having made it too difficult without such a purpose, that's greed. That is toxic. 💮This nor that is. What is toxic is players thinking they deserve something that they don't need because they want it and have to pay for it, that the devs are the problem.
