The Literary Merit of Morrowind
Gamers with Jobs has a piece looking at the literary achievement that is Morrowind. The author discusses the depth of Elder Scrolls III and contemplates the upcoming release of the fourth game in the series. From the article: "It comes down to this: In spite of my having devoted dozens of hours to conquering its enormity, I have only ever scratched the surface of Morrowind, the previous game in the Elder Scrolls series. I am frankly unprepared to move on to any further games in the series, knowing that there remains much to do in the previous installment. And with your permission, I would now like to inflict my piddling insecurities upon you, if only for a short time--after which, feel free to remove the wax."
Why do none of the major gaming sites never mention Daggerfall? (ES2)
Sure it would randomly crash upon walking through doors, but it had boobies!!!
And for that reason, isn't walking into a tavern room to find a nude lady in it the most awesome thing that can happen in a game?
I wonder why no normal games have more casual encounters with nude NPCs?
If you don't know what AltaVista is (was), get off my lawn.
"In spite of my having devoted dozens of hours to conquering its enormity, I have only ever scratched the surface of Morrowind..." That's why I don't eat at buffets.
I do not remember the specifics of the Wolf Queen, but my favorite books were the "Lady Tressed", "Hunger", and the one about 'Shoot higher master! Shoot higher!" that gave +1 to Marksmanship. There was also the Fishystick book that you needed to be on the Forums (before they went Bad) to understand. That was worth a laugh.
I guess professing that I have favorite books within a video game will mean that I'll never reproduce, but hey! I'll have oblivion to carry me thru those moments that I could be having sex.
Would you kindly mod me +1 insightful?
Not in a theatre, I can't!
