How would you make these games "good"? They are the only good Elder Scrolls games yet they are boring dungeon crawlers with shitty combat and you spend 99% of the game just walking directly to your quest with no interesting transversal mechanics besides stamina / fatigue which isn't interesting at all.

    And yet they were both successful games that still have their dedicated player base.
    Maybe ask how to fix Oblivion instead because nobody plays that shit anymore and its modding scene is dead. Then again, Skyrimgays will probably abandon it with the next TES and Morrowind will stand as the only truly timeless TES.

      I'd argue Daggerfall is also great, thanks in large part to Daggerfall Unity and its mods making it more accessible. The core of TES has always been dungeon crawling and more importantly, loot hoarding. Leaving a dungeon with your carry capacity almost maxed out, the anticipation of selling all your shit in the nearest town. That's neat.
      >you spend 99% of the game just walking directly to your quest
      Sounds like a (You) problem. Even when I played Skyrim vanilla on the PS3 a decade ago I still managed to ignore the compass whenever I felt like it and just... walked, explored; found random caves, unmarked interesting locations like shrines or weapons embedded in a rock or something.

      >Skyrimgays will probably abandon it with the next TES
      Seeing how New Vegas is still getting mods over F4, I doubt it; Skyrim was unironically a before/after in the industry, and is by far the most modded game out there in sheer size of mod quality besides its grandpa Tamriel Rebuilt itself

    I'd actually improve Morrowind by adding a proper quest journal, not the piss soaked unusable DLC one either.
    The map could use a lot of work, too. Even for its time it's hideous.

    As for Skyrim? Raze it to the foundations and rebuild it from the ground up.
    Replace the civil war with a faction system. As you join factions that side with The Empire or The Natives, you'll be locked out of the opposing faction. For instance joining the Greybeards will lock you out of the Lore-Only Imperial School of the Voice in Markarth, joining the Fighters Guild will lock you out of the Companions and tip an invisible scale toward their respective alligned interests.
    When the scale is tipped too far to one side, war is declared and you can join the side you've supported through your choices, and the other side will declare you a hostile and when you're outside of cities they'll attack you on sight, in cities they'll assign a "bodyguard" to make sure you don't cause trouble.
    By the endgame, your choices in joining factions and completing their quests will have influenced whether native or imperial win the civil war, or if the civil war never begins, being that your choices conflict with each other to maintain the status quo (the true bad end.)

            No, it wouldn't. Literally just some faction variable that scripts and NPC dialogue check. If it's above value, script executes, new dialogue used, etc. This is all possible in Morrowind even.
            Civil war issues come from trying to have battles in an engine based around relatively complex NPCs that can't handle that many at once. Battles should be offscreen, player just has to fight small skirmishes, duel enemy leaders, win support of jarls, etc.
            Skyrim voice acting would be an issue in terms of storage space.

        Roleplay is TES is 90% about doing or not doing certain quests. At best a quest will have two or three actual choices, but usually none.
        It's quantity or quality, which makes it extremely replayable because of all the different quests, but individually there's little to no roleplay potential.

      Morrowind did not have traversal problems. Even if you completely ignored alchemy and magic which is sold all over the place, your run and jump variables would passively grow so much that no pit or mountain would be an impediment.

      What did have "traversal problems" was Skyrim. Fixed speed and jump height. Many ledges, gaps and heights of which you could only barely make the jump. Many spots were too far to reach normally and required you to have earned one of the few mobility altering Shouts like Whirlwind as well as finding the right spot to sprint off of to actually get enough distance.

        Makes sense in Morrowind where there is nothing interesting to find on your way to these places but every Skyrim quests was sending you somewhere new. Also the lore completely breaks down with all the transversal mechanics in Morrowind but whatever I do kind of wish they were in Skyrim. The joy of saving up enough money for your first horse equalled the joy of getting crazy acrobatics and levitation I wish Skyrim added that shit too because it would have been crazy fun in the late game and you would have already understood invisible walls for cities then

            This is true. Skyrim has a good style, and people underrate it on that front - everything has very pleasing, subtle chunkiness and angularity to it. It's stylized in a good way, and all the playable races look fricking excellent. However, it doesn't match up to Morrowind's visuals when it comes to substance and meaning. Also on the topic of races, Morrowind made them much more diverse with tons of clever little details which Skyrim lacks. Morrowind's aesthetics are just so much more inspired across the board that it more than makes up for the inferior execution. Lots of believability in everything, visual storytelling, hidden messages and subtle details, which people also underrate because they don't pay attention.

        I don't mind the fog being there due to technical limitations but the island was so fricking small, ignoring all the world building flaws every important location is just on the side of a main road because they had to give your precise directions.
        I do like the fact they could set a game in a location like this but they just could not live up to the kino concept art. I just can't imagine any future TES picking such an extreme location for 100% of the game after how comfy Skyrim is

    How about make it so the optimal way to play isn't walking out of every dungeon carrying every possible item and walking into every house and store while the owners are there and taking literally everything off their shelves? There needs to be some obvious consequences for being a thief and a bad thief at that. Stores shouldn't be giving you much money for junk. I do whish Skyrim with it's actual NPCs didn't let you sell anything at any store at the very least because that was a cool part of Morrowind. Needing fences for stolen goods was cool and should have been expanded upon but the entire picking junk up from everywhere and selling it all is just fricking ridiculous.
    Also I should be able to put an order in for specific items especially from weapons dealers, less of an issue in Skyrim thanks to fast travel but looking for a specific generic sword shouldn't mean my character walking from city to city. I should be staying at the local inn doing some odd jobs for people around the town until my weapon is forged or arrives

            So skyrim isn't as good as morrowing because it's overly cinematic and built to be set up in a way where it's harder for you to fail. Level scaling, the killing blows, quest markers on everything, fast travel basically whenever you want... etc. It's all overly realistic and filled with boring colors and enemies and isn't like a real fantasy rpg. Interface in skyrim, the map, and general way you interact with anything is a downgrade for the most part. All the characters in skyrim are pretty bad generally.

            Here's the positives of skyrim: le graphics, le cinematic experience, le voice acting. Not much else.

              Fast travel has nothing to do with failure, it's a lazy solution to a problem Morrowind had but it let the game have a much bigger and more interesting world. Instead of knowing exactly where a quest would be (follow the main road north and it's right there) you had to walk into the unknown, possibly find your way up a mountain avoid what could be strong enemies instead of the same creatures you have been killing with ease since level one.
              You would see interesting locations on your way there because of the lack of fog and with no information about them enter buildings and caves with unique lore that was told through environmental storytelling instead of just text dumps and you were rewarded for going to places you wanted instead of punished . You can't say Skyrim is easier than Morrowind unless you just spammed health potions or were a zoomer who got filtered by Morrowind's combat

                I personally don't find skyrim to be fun whatsoever and think morrowind is superior in most ways. I can force myself through skyrim and find some fun with it but it's not really a good game in my opinion other than having a lot of useless content. It's kind of a problem when the main thing people say about skyrim is "don't do the main quest and you'll have fun"

            Gothic is jank if you look at it with a real critical eye. It's not that good. Its just not. It's a meme that is propped up by a desire to be different and contrarian but if it's held to the same standards as other games it's shit. It controls terribly and the npcs are bland and boring.

            A dragon attacks Riverrun it's very exciting, all the people you met early in your quest rushing to help you defeat them. If an NPC single dies you will recognize them and it's quite sad.
            In Morrowind I could kill 99% of the NPCs in a town and not care. The amount of hours I spent in towns in Morrowind and all I can recall is the races of people in certain areas who give you quests. Nevermind how illogically laid out half the towns are

              It was hard to care about the NPCs when any differences are hidden if they exist at all. It was a lifeless and souless world space in Morrowind.

    For Morrowind have animations play on a missed hit to alleviate the discordance of it looking like you should be doing damage, but aren't. Whether that's a dodge, or a block - something to give a visual explanation for the result of the dice roll.

    Aside from that, mechanically Morrowind is pretty solid. I'd like to have had the scale of Daggerfall and more of its returning skills, but you'd need to drastically increase Morrowind's tiny scale for that.

    The alternative would be to ditch the dice roll system and have it instead be based on player skill where the player is responsible for the positioning and targeting of their attacks - think Dark Messiah.

    Skyrim is just a bag of wank. It can frick itself.

    I didnt finish Skyrim and barely did any of the main quest because once you realize the systems suck just like Oblivion, everythingthing is messed up, OP and pointless, but on top of it the world isnt as cozy, all you got left is fricking around, doing quests just like in Oblivion, which was pretty cool, but THE fricking problem, is that unlike oblivion, you re not gonna get unique quests. THe game is filled with procedural quests and cavern waste of time bullshit. Because of it after some hours I had to top. This procedural infinite content bullshit that you couldnt easily tell apart from the real game and unique quests, killed the game. If it wasnt for that I would have gladly did the unique quests like in Oblivion. What a waste of a game. What's even the point of it? the gameplay isn't even good.

        Oblivion is much brighter, has more vegetation, which makes it more agreable as well as fitting how stupid, absurd, buggy and hilarious things are, Skyrim takes itself too seriously, because it doesn't succeed.

        There are unique quest but what I'm saying is that the game throws are you some bullshit quests, random caverns and whatever, and you cannot really know if it's gonna be a good quest, or a procedural cavern and just grinding. Maybe I'm making shit up but I remember mr. todd saying the game had generated quests, as well as dungeons/ caverns. I didn't want to grind these bullshit undead catacombs and undead tombs, but do the unqiue quests that make the game charming. But I couldn't skip easily the procedural shit since you don't know what it is. Maybe I'm wrong, though. But the game definitely felt more grindy and full of procedural garbage.

          2006 Xbox 360 bloom isn't a good thing

          Objectively wrong
          >fitting how stupid, absurd, buggy and hilarious things are
          That's not the win you think it is
          >Skyrim takes itself too seriously, because it doesn't succeed
          All TES games have taken themselves just as seriously, it's just that Oblivion utterly failed at it because of its presentation. That's the game that starts with the 'brutal' assassination of the Emperor and with a main quest that has you fighting against and traveling into not!Hell. The game wasn't trying to be funny, it just came across like that because the visuals and VA were horrendous and aged like milk.
          >the game throws are you some bullshit quests, random caverns and whatever, and you cannot really know if it's gonna be a good quest, or a procedural cavern and just grinding
          And I am saying that it's very easy to guess whether a quest is radiant or not based on its name and way of acquiring it from an NPC
          >I remember mr. todd saying the game had generated quests, as well as dungeons/ caverns
          And he's right. Former are tied to factions or Jarl notices, latter you find exploring the world (like 'Ancestral Worship' or 'A Scroll For Anska')
          >I couldn't skip easily the procedural shit since you don't know what it is
          Again it's easy to tell what's procedural and what isn't. And only the prompts are, the dungeons you end up visiting are all handcrafted as they've been since Morrowind.

            I mean the color palette and tone of the game, not bloom. Skyrim is full of rocks and snow, and shit grass, Oblivion is full of rgeen grass and bushes and whatever, how can you say its wrong.
            >The game wasn't trying to be funny
            Disagree Maybe in some story aspects you would be right but overall I remember the game having more humor, successful or not.

            >And I am saying that it's very easy to guess whether a quest is radiant or not based on its name and way of acquiring it from an NPC
            Well I wasn't aware of that. Am I supposed to read game wikis before playing a fricking game now? It is absolutely the developers fault and it my my experience of Skyrim much worse than of Oblivion.

    Main Morrowind problems for me:
    Skills, spells, consumables, items are not balanced. Like I almost never buy any potions: it's a waste of money in the early game and a hindrance in the late game. A shield that heals 10 hp and an amulet that heals stamina are sold cheap by enchanters and they are definitely more cost efficient that a more expensive Fortify Agility potion that will give you a slight edge in the next battle.
    There's nothing to do in the late game. I don't really want to abandon my character and start the game anew to have fun. There should be more quests (or the present ones should be reworked) that give good rewards for late game like Azura's Star, they should not be shit like Sanguine enchantment. Or at least give me some clues so I don't enter every cavern hoping to find something valuable but play organically instead.
    Quests are too boring. I might have more incentive to learn about peculiarities of Telvanni counselors if their quests weren't so basic and forgettable. At least main quest has interesting structure, introduces you to different personas and factions, has the most effort put into related dungeons, but the Guild shit is mediocre.
    There isn't a money sink. Best equipment and consumables should be expensive to buy like enchantments and also maintain. Besides I don't see why training a skill point at 90+ should not cost 10 times more than it does now. There also could be some luxurious stuff you could spend money on or Great House fortress improvements.
    AI is bad. Pathing is notoriously horrible, but enemies could also use some nasty abilities like Bonewalkers do and generally be smarter. It would force me to buy potions and scrolls and use my brain for combat tactics.
    Outdated UI. I want to find stuff quickly in the menu using my keyboard instead of mouse. There's no reason 4 menus should be cramped on the same screen and each of them not be at least as good as a file explorer window. I also want more quick keys as an OpenMW chad.

    >shitty combat
    I don't think Skyrim's combat feels shitty. It doesn't go out of its way to incentivize skillful tactics, but I never feel like I'm struggling to control my character. There's plenty of options and everything feels responsive and sensible. Tons of people play Runescape and Minecraft without caring about the simplistic combat. Because even if it's simple, it doesn't actively feel bad. It just doesn't fill out the game which is fine because there's so many other mechanics, it doesn't need to. "Bad combat" is eurojank type shit, where the controls don't make sense and the animations feel off. That being said, if you wanted to add more depth to the combat while still considering that these are first-person games, you might implement a directional system wherein you can attack/defend up, down, left, or right.
    >traversal mechanics
    Giving the player too many ways to traverse is an easy way to trivialize exploration. Even in BotW, climbing and paragliding just made it too easy to get anywhere you wanted without much strategy required. What people really want is traversal with more verticality, and Fallout 4 already started going in that direction.
    >No they aren't real RPGs
    Genre purists are the worst thing to happen to video games and RPG purists doubly so. Branching dialogue/storylines are a narrative decision not a gameplay one. Because the way it accommodates the latter is pitifully shallow. Even the very simplest games like Battleship have literally billions of ways you can arrange the board. Contrast with branching storylines where even the most elaborate visual novels solely focused on this one game element will only have hundreds of game states. This number is too low to serve as anything other than a puzzle because otherwise the game will be completely exhausted far too quickly. If this is what an RPG is, then RPGs are nothing more than a gimmick stapled onto more substantial genres like action-adventure or tactical strategy.

    Based on what you zoomer homosexuals think is "good," I'm glad Morrowind isn't that.
    Zoomer are so spiteful that they would reach back into the past and ruin things that had nothing to do with them if they could.
