Welcome to Gaia! ::

you know I've heard alot of talk about how morrowind had so much more than oblivian and i'm beginnning to wonder if it was a mistake to sell it? which do you guys think was better and for which console or PC?

I think Oblivion is nicer just because it's newer, but there are plenty of thing from Morroind that I miss.

As far as which is better, console or PC, it really just depends on what you're into. However I would like to point out, the XBox version does NOT, I repeat, it does NOT have better graphics than the PC version. The XBox 360 has already been produced, and though there are newer versions that always come out, it won't have signifigantly better graphics in the future. The Oblivion engine was made for technology of the future. On full settings, a quad-core with the newest video card would have serious trouble running Oblivion at full settings at 60 FPS, if it could do it at all. So in a year or two, the graphics the average gamer could assumably run Oblivion at would be superior to the XBox version in all respects. Some people just like having the game controller in their hands while they play (I know I do, even though I run the PC version), others prefer keyboard. There are plenty of small differences that some people prefer to others.

Oblivion has better graphics and overall gameplay. Morrowind has a lot of stuff but the combat and lockpicking are very static. Morrowind is more quantity and Oblivion quality. However I would like to add that Morrowind has 3 types of armor, spears, crossbows, and friggin' ninja stars.

Not sure about Morrowind, but Oblivion is fine with keyboard controls, very easy and smooth in fact. Like a lot of modern PC games, wasd is used to move, and caps lock to run. Hot keys can be set by the users to switch between spells, although I don't really use that often... The two spells I use are the Night Mother's Caress, a healing spell for 20 something health... (level 19 now.. xD It's getting to be a bit low of heal when I actually need it, may have to hit up one of those /horrible/ resto GOOD priests...) and some illusion magic that lights the room... I can't recall. Anyway, I prefer a chop and slash way of attack, if I'm not sneaking, monsters will see me anyway, which is just fine... If I am sneaking, close distance sneak attack with a sword is an instant kill for everything I've gone up against, so I don't see the point of buying 10000g spells if I can get a nice glass longsword free from a quest and kill creatures in my path just as easilly.
ANYWAY. Ctrl is used to sneak, and this conveniently places every key you'll ever use on the far left side of the keyboard. That way, your right hand can be at the mouse, left clicking to slash, and scroll over objects. Oh, and spacebar is the generic "use" button. Talk to, pull lever, harvest plant... So yeah. Very smooth keyboard wise.
I can't imagine fitting all the controls smoothly onto an xbox. xD

These are games geared mostly towards PC gamers (for once). They are prime examples of how a community can actually take over game development if given the chance.

Morrowind and Oblivion are the type of game that seem to be dying out due to the rampant sales of less intelligent single-shot games with no allowance for community input. Both of them are excellent games and, if you are a TES fan, you should probably try to get your hands on both.. and perhaps try giving Arena a shot. Morrowind was the second game to really immerse me in it's story (first was Deus Ex). It means quite alot to me.. and it is still playable even to the nit-picky thanks to various enhancement mods.

As to which one is better, Oblivion is the obvious choice. In the stock game, I'd say Morrowind beat it.. and there seems to have been some annoying downgrades in Oblivion that reeks of a console-to-pc port.. still, it has a better physics and graphics engine.. as well as more sophisticated AI. In the end, to me, it's all about how far the community can go with it.

Still, maybe I won't hate consoles for too much longer. They are already becoming more and more like PCs.. it won't be long before they ship them out with mouses and keyboards while allowing you to browse the internet and create documents.

lol

get it for pc and mod the hell out of it thats what i did and i had lots of fun.
