[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 22 points 7 months ago (2 children) I have played Morrowind many many many, many times. hell I've played multiplayer Morrowind a few times permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 7 points 7 months ago (3 children) I regret not to have played these Elder Scrolls games when they were new. These are really special games. At the time, I wasn't a fan of western RPGs and leaned heavily into JRPGs. But man, I regret it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] noxypaws@pawb.social 11 points 7 months ago (1 child) Morrowind is undoubtedly better today than when it was released. The thousands and thousands of mods, thundreds of mod lists, dozens of tools, and hell even the complete, open source, crossplatform reimplementation of the core game engine and its crazy good multiplayer fork, all add up to today being an even better time to experience the game and the community! I highly recommend picking up the base game and then playing it through OpenMW, with minimal mods the first playthrough (tho unofficual bugfix patch and the like are still probably a good idea) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] morbidcactus@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 months ago The "I Heart Vanilla" pack is supposed to be good for that, I run with Just Good Morrowind, plays extremely well on the steamdeck too. It's still by far my favourite of the series. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 7 months ago JRPGs have their charm and, depending on your age, will feel a lot more relatable and "easy to get started" than most western RPGs. I don't remember when I started caring more about WRPG over JRPG, but I think it happened when I was 17, I suspect Warcraft 3 and World of Warcraft played a significant role in that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 7 months ago Then there was me bouncing between Morrowind and Chrono Cross depending on who's turn it was with the PC. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago Morrowind Online is one I still have to try. I fucking love Tamriel Rebuilt, and I've only explored a small fraction of the mainland. permalink fedilink source parent
