Should I get Morrowind?

I'm really intrested in getting Oblivion for the PS3 (my PC will never be able to run it so don't tell me to buy the PC version, also I much prefer gaming on a console), and haven't done so yet, yeah I know I'm late, but I thought maybe before that, I should get Morrowind for the PC, as the GOTY version of Morrowind is really cheap now, but many people here said Morrowind is much better than Oblivion, and if i'll play oblivion after morrowind i'll get deeply dissapointed, and really I dont wanna get dissapointed :P so should I still get it? or it will ruin Oblivion for me (and not getting oblivion is not an option!) thanks in advance ^^

definetly! Infact in my shared opinion, Morrowind was a better game than Oblivion. It has a lot more depth than oblivion, I'm not going to fully get into it cause my finger hurst from typing lol but I think you're better off playing morrowind than oblivion, although oblivion is a great game too, just morrowind is better :P

hehe thanks for answering, but maybe you haven't really fully read my post, my question was - will experiencing morrowind before oblivion, will ruin oblivion for me? because iv'e seen everybody being dissapointed by oblivion because morrowind was better.

Well, Morrowind is a bit 'old' in terms of not only graphic but also gameplay. If you don't mind a bit lame fighting mechanics its a great game. Size and complexity of the world is overwhelming :). Oblivion is also great (although IMO side quests are way better than main, so consider not doing 1st mission with handing amulet, just to skip this lame Gates of Oblivion opening part). If you've got strong PC you should also consider buying Oblivion for it, not PS3. Why? Well, you'll get huge advantage of literally thousands of mods adding and correcting features in the game. Also - you might turn off the worst and most irritating element of the game, which is level scaling environment (and trust me - you WANT to do that).Fresherty

thanks, but as iv'e said in my first post, no chance for getting it for the PC, i'm not intrested in mods, neither my PC strong enough to run it, and I much prefer gaming for the console, each multiplatform game, I'll always get for my playstation, unless it's version is really terrible, in that case i prolly won't get the game at all, Only games i play on the PC are Pc exclusive.

also a small question regarding the game, can you see your character from a third person view? not neccesarily for playing, but more to see how all the armor and stuff you get looks on you :P just like you can do in oblivion

morrowind is a much better game than oblivion, but it is much older. Can you handle an older game? if so, get morrowind, and get it first.

Morrowind is much bigger and more difficult (more depth though). I actually stopped playing after getting lost in the woods for hours and losing track of where I had to go for my quest. I hear there's mods you can download though to add some of Oblivian's more convenient features into the game. So, I liked some of the mechanics for Oblivian better, but Morrowind has a deeper story, more side quests, bigger world, and much more variety of scenery. Also no scaling enemy levels, so leveling up means more ;-)

Morrowind is a REALLY amazing game, if you can stand lack of voice overs and lower graphics. I suggest you get the game then get some resolution and graphics enhancers for Morrowind. You should enjoy it, because it is an really great game. ferrari2001

got no prob at all with older games, actully I love older games lol, for some reason they have sometimes much more charm than newer games, I grew up playing older games of course :P right now I'm also playing MGS1 and I'm loving it, no prob at all with older games. the whole point of the thread was if my oblivion experience will be ruined if I'll play and finish Morrowind first, but I guess as I know myself it probably won't ruin my experience, so I guess I'll head through to it, its really cheap today.

I just got the morrowind goty last week for about $13 on amazon. The graphics are pretty awful and when you walk into balmora there is this lizardy guy with super long legs that walks around all funny like. I dont know why but i thought it was hilarious. Anyways it is a really fun game and you should buy it right this second especially since it is so cheap.
