Haha, ABF gets a taste of his own medicine

[Great Rumbler]

The problem here is GENERALIZATION. ABF has played Arean and Daggerfall and perhaps a few other open-ended RPGs and is trying to force his opinion of them onto Morrowind, which he has not played. Now, had ABF said "I've played several open-ended RPGs, but I think non-linear ones are better", which I believe you did at first, then I would have no problem, but ABF brought Morrowind into the argument [and he was the first to mention it, I went back and looked] and tried to explain how in playing Morrowind OB1 had, in essence, played the other games in the series. On a certain level I agree with this, if you play an open-ended RPG you likely know what to expect from other games in the genre, but you just can't play one game and then come up with an opinion of another even one in the same genre and EVEN one in the same series, you just can't! ABF, if you want to talk about linear RPGs being better than open-ended RPGs go right ahead, but don't bring up games you haven't played. It's not helping you at all, believe me.
