Morrowind was a little too empty feeling. Sure, the main quest might be a little shorter, but I can say that I'm definitely tempted to play this game all over again just to play around and get all the stuff I didn't before.


In Morrowind it was all so exotic and foreign, with the towering mushrooms and strange cities and everyone calling you "muthsera" and the strange creatures no one's ever seen before. In Oblivion, there are oak trees and deer and bears and pretty common looking flowers and weather patterns. Sure, there are drawbacks, but I think what people might be whining about when they say Morrowind was better is that Oblivion might perhaps be too familiar. Three, the physics system ensures quite a lot of mischievous fun. Two, the fact that everyone actually talks to you makes the game more of a game, rather than a book with controls. For one, the combat system is incredible (I found myself playing Morrowind for the story, not the action here I'm playing it almost more for the action).

While Morrowind was indeed an incredible game, Oblivion clearly cleans up much of the crap from the previous title.
