It's a combination of it being babby's first "rpg", them confusing shit gameplay featuring RNG and numbers for roleplaying, and muh "lore". It's a wonder how they haven't managed to play any good game or read one book in the almost two decades since the release.

I like it on the grounds that the gameplay formula's pretty good, the locale's interesting and the game actually works. It is for those same reason that I don't like Skyrim all that well as its setting is less interesting and the game itself is buggy and lacks some mechanics.
I do think it gets overrated but it's a pretty solid game if you enjoy exploring environments.

Half of /v/ always seems to witch-hunt others for disliking Morrowind and the other half always seems to witch-hunt those who like it. Better question is, why is this game so divisive? I've never seen any sort of love-hate relationship towards anything quite like this. I have average feelings towards it, I can't completely like it, but I can't completely dislike it either.
Also the only way to play the game is as Breton with Blinding Boots of Speed.

The game is not divisive. The issue is that it is a game that is liked by a group of people. So it is easy to get responses and attention by creating/going on threads to say the opposite thing in the hopes derailing the conversation. It is similar to how women or trannies try to get attention by going into a event / job / hobby and turn it into drama so they can be in a postilion of control and vanity.

I'll give you my own perspective. I played Morrowind and I have a love-hate relationship with it.
On one hand, the game was revolutionary. I don't think there was any game quite like it when it came out. It had an expansive lore unlike anything in any other game, even by today's standards. The lore wasn't terrible, either. It was like Star Wars' EU (Rest in peace) in that it allowed expansion and more additions, but none of the future games really took advantage of it. A shame. The gameplay mechanics are really deep, too. My gripe with that is that I wasn't immediately informed of it, but that's more my fault for not buying physical and thus not getting a manual.
On the other hand, the game's RNG component was based off of DnD and really didn't translate well to 3D games. Even with a completely optimized character and high stamina, you'll most likely still miss a couple of your attacks and spells.
All-in-all, Morrowind is still a great game that everyone should play at least once. It's not terribly hard to understand how everything works and it really is a peek into how games used to be made. I think anyone who dislikes the game is either being too critical or probably hasn't played it/ played an hour and got their asses kicked and threw it away.

Keep in mind the "trees" are interdimensional creatures that have formed a hive mind of higher intelligence, that actually came from a previous Kalpa timeline to evade Alduin who destroyed the previous timeline by eating all of nirn. Which makes it an interesting question as to what the "trees" will do when Alduin one day tries to eat nirn again, they must have a plan.
7e6ccb No.14825337
Hah, fixed the tree in most stupidest way possible. Its because when you try to mod morrowind on LINUX lower case files and upper case files don't replace each other and coexist, and game has to choose between the two. And i had bunch of nifs named Flora_BC_Tree and flora_bc_tree.
And now i need to go kill myself because that means i have thousands upon thousands of dublicate files because of letter casing. Some work, some don't.

Morrowind is the contarian's coin.
The one side is the contrarian who disdains other, more popular releases in the series and thus sticks to the still popular but "not as much as the other ones" choice. The other side is the contrarian who disdains the popularity achieved by the other contrarians.
Truth is, Morrowind is a good game. Not great, not perfect - it's heavily flawed. But it's good, and the aspects that aren't flawed are enjoyable enough to pad out the rest with mods.

This is what really did it for me. The setting and atmosphere were very unique. It was a high-fantasy world that almost completely avoided the tired cliches you get in most fantasy games. It had an incredible attention to detail and its flavor was completely different from anything else out there at the time.
Then Oblivion rolls out and sinks back into those awful medieval fantasy cliches that morrowind managed to avoid. Skyrim was more of the same with a slight viking flavor to it. It just felt like a complete waste of potential.

I keep hearing this but how is this the case? VtM:B did urban fantasy right with a good balance of the spiritual and the mundane. Venture Bros made the idea of card carrying villains not cringey.

It's pretty self-explanatory, really. Mushroom houses, volcanic ash-covered islands, mage houses that don't have stairs because the mages always use levitate, literal gods you can interact with and kill later, not to mention the highly diverse enemy selection. My only gripe there is that the main quest is your typical 'save the realm from a god-like enemy' stuff but I suppose it handled it better than the successive TES games.

You're thinking of the "Hist trees", which were (presumably) the first manifestations of the Hist on Nirn and (again, presumably) the first source of the Hist sap used in creating Argonians - an "Argonian" proper is any being of Nirn/Mundus whose soul has been inducted into the Hist in a process involving their body being infused with that Hist sap.
>>14825336
>casually implying that Skyrim isn't canon
I like the way you think. Although I think that simply saying that they're from another kalpa is… a bit too mundane. The Redguards and the Nords are each from different kalpas, and Tamriel has already been invaded by an empire from the kalpa of Akavir and has already launched a(n unsuccessful) invasion of that kalpa in turn. For something as alien, and as advanced, as the Hist; it's total conjecture, but I'd like to think that the Hist are from beyond the godhead, or otherwise that they're "interdimensional" in a sense going beyond simply the dimensions of Mundus.

Look at it this way, you have wood elves, dark elves, high elves, and orcs.
The Wood Elves primarily live either with the Dark Elf Telvanni mages or with the Imperials.
Dark Elves, for once, aren't a blanket "these are the evil elves guys" race. The Dark Elves are the last bastion of sovereignty within Tamriel due to their three Living Gods, one of which is a poet which got raped by a demonic lord but outlasted him and made the raping lord submit.
High Elves, rather than being the trope of noble and kind, only think of themselves as being that way, and everyone else sees them as tall and haughty dickheads.
Orcs are not actually just bigger goblins, but a subrace of elves which both the Dunmer and Orsinimer descended from due to one god eating another, and shitting him out as a new god, transforming all of his followers in the process, while the Dunmer…
You get the point, right?
There's a ton of shit which you just don't get in other fantasy games in the background, and a lot of it actually impacts on the larger scope of how factions are arrayed against and supporting one another, with backstabbing and assassinations LEGALISED under certain scenarios.

Morrowind is Todd's "big game" and has been used to excuse Bethesda's ineptitude for a long time. This isn't just another case of being good only relative to its successor? Because this game looks like a big time investment. I don't really want to play another overrated piece of garbage. The world of Skyrim is a world that I would actively try to destroy if I live in it.

I've never been all that interested in Elder Scrolls is all. Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, Todd's Masterpiece. And your post proves my point exactly that Morrowind or Elder Scrolls in general evokes particularly strong responses, no matter the case or context. There is witch-hunting, it might be hard to see if you're involved in it, but it seems all sorts of differing opinions are allowed on /v/ except in the instance of Morrowind where everyone must absolutely love it or absolutely hate it. And say what you want about Oblivion, but it had some good things going for it, one is that it's UI was less of an eyesore.
>>14826776
You have to get invested into it. For surface level impressions and out-of-context experiences, it's not fun. People mainly play RPGs for the story, dialogue, etc. But I'll agree, Morrowind compared to other RPGs can be pretty dry at times.
>>14826694
Archaic, sure. But there's genuine fun to be had if you can put yourself in the mindset and experiences others had when those games first game out. It's tough being spoiled.
