Quote:Umm... why I hate the game? No, I obviously do not hate Morrowind. I haven't played it after all. I don't hate Arena or Daggerfall either. Rather, what I did was point out the significant flaws in the game, which are mostly centered around the lack of decent NPC interaction (I've heard them described as 'cardboard' and it fits well) and the lack of variety with a game that long. Buit is Arena fun anyway? Yeah, it is. For a while.
In short, you used the word "hate" to describe a series of posts that did (and do) not express hate. That is because you cannot see any shades between "my position" and "the opposite position"... which is sad in a way but incredibly annoying in so many more... I don't know where you get "hate" from but it makes no sense. As I said ten times, Arena is a good game! It's just got flaws that show why the TES games are pretty much the only RPGs that open-ended... the sacrifices in many ways aren't worth the benifits, in my opinion. Yours is obviously different, but that fact by no means means that I "hate" the TES games.
You complained about Morrowind specifically, even though you've never touched it. That is just plain retarded to the extreme, even by your incredibly low standards.
Yes, Morrowind is a very flawed game. But the fact that it is one of the best-selling PC RPGs ever despite its many flaws just goes to show you how much gamers value freedom. The combat is shit, the graphics are shit, and the quests don't even need to be bothered with. Yet-despite all of that!!-the game is still insanely fun to play. Make the combat suck in Baldur's Gate and you simply have a broken game that nobody in their right mind would ever want to play. So you can imagine my excitement over Oblivion which looks to fix everything wrong with Morrowind. It has the potential to destroy all RPGs, console or PC.
