Yup, and if crpgs like Pathfinder kingmaker, solasta, BG3, etc are anything to go by, there's clearly a place for that, even in modern gaming. It's just, maybe what's otherwise a first/third person action title isn't it.
Its honestly wild the difference in the elder scrolls fan page on reddit from facebook, reddit seems to be pretty united that while morrow has a great story and much more in depth narrative the gameplay is absolute wank, on facebook you even slightly criticise morrowind you blasted by 50+ people calling you a piece of shit, you dont know real gaming, you’re not a true es fan etc etc
Same experience with with the Fallout pages on Facebook, pre Fallout 4. No idea what it's like these days, but back then if you even dared admitting that you enjoyed Fallout 3 or had any criticism for NV, the neckbeards would come out of the woodwork to shit all over your inferior taste.
I'm not here to convince people, but I actually love Morrowind's gameplay mechanics, including the hit chance mechanic. It makes sense to me in a roleplaying game.
If the graphics had been able to keep up with the mechanics I honestly don’t think people would have (as much of) an issue with morrowind’s “to hit” chance.
Neverwinter Nights, and Wizardry 8 do this somewhat. But those games are less graphically advanced, and are round-based. Both of those games also have gibbing, and Wiz8 has bloodied skins for monster. I wish more games did the latter.
I’m not sure when percentage rolls for RPG’s started to seem bad, but that’s exactly what my min-maxing self loves. Give me a ton of stats and dice rolls to buff!
Yep. I'm sure it is an amazing game, but that doesn't mean its not archaic and unintuitive by modern standards. I've tried to get into it but I don't have the time to bother learning everything you need to play Morrowind at least somewhat effectively. And watching your sword phase through your enemy is never fun, especially when the game refuses to explain anything
I told a friend of mine this “is about how you set up your class in the beginning.” His response was “you told me I was doing it wrong so I stopped listening”
Any decent Morrowind player can build a character that can reliably hit an enemy at level 1. It's called "using the weapons you're skilled in" and "not using all your fatigue".
Me and my buddy decided to play morrowind coop(both never played the game, but i did played skyrim and oblivion), we started the game and the first enemy that we found was this dude on a bridge in a mountain, as we started hitting him, we were like WTF is this, he's imortal or something, we proceded to hit and jump around his body for about 10+ minutes, and still lost.
It would be hilarious if someone edited the miss sound effect in every time the guy in the gif hit the table.

Even as a staunch defender of the Morrowind combat system, that would be pretty funny

This made me genuinely fall apart with laughter thank you.

Still the same on Reddit sometimes. Less so here though. On this sub I think the circlejerk has somehow been gradually growing towards Oblivion.

The gameplay of Morrowind is amazing too, its just the god damn hit chance that is completely busted
Skyrim and Oblivion supremacists when actual RPG mechanics are in their game:
Man I hate this fanbase

This is completely accurate and it’s almost sad 😂

Morrowind players when they put a point into Agility every level and think they are making high level mathematical optimizations.
When they stopped being D&D Lite and started actually showing your weapon hitting the target

spell fail noise
It's kinda funny how the main criticism against Morrowind basically boils down to "I don't know how to play this game"

To be fair, that's me and Oblivion.
Just use a damn weapon you’re skilled with, it’s not that hard

Best parts of Morrowind:

Oblivion fans when enemies dont become sponges in Morrowind or Skyrim as you level up.
I see more anti morrowind player posts than actual morrowind player posts and everyone always says the opposite
The hate on Morrowind is comical. Still my favorite it game. Wish they would remake it or oblivion instead of 34 re releases of Skyrim.
Tbf i think people hate the Morrowind supremacists, not necessarily the game
Skywind or morroblivion
"Man! my dagger can't hit anything!" "Did you put any points into Short Blade?"
Skybabys when they don't hit an enemy with a non proficient weapon.
Morrowind players watching their sword phase through the enemy
Morrowind haters when they put zero points into Short Blade and can't hit people.with the shit dagger the game gives you for free;
Love morrowind but this is hilarious
Any decent Morrowind player can build a character that can reliably hit an enemy at level 1. It's called "using the weapons you're skilled in" and "not using all your fatigue".
I don't see why this is getting downvoted. Genuinely helpful advice for me, a new player. Fuck Reddit 🙄
THIS. If you want to use the free dagger the game gives you, put points into Short blade
Ok, but Oblivion combat is bad, even if you like Oblivion. And the dialogue is shit, but at least they made it work.
Ngl , the morrowind hateboner in this sub is growing even bigger .
Try being a fan of Fallout 3, New Vegas or 4 on
There's a hateboner for Morrowind?
This one came for me personally.
Me and my buddy decided to play morrowind coop(both never played the game, but i did played skyrim and oblivion), we started the game and the first enemy that we found was this dude on a bridge in a mountain, as we started hitting him, we were like WTF is this, he's imortal or something, we proceded to hit and jump around his body for about 10+ minutes, and still lost.
“No!! I’m meant to miss 53 times and die! That’s the true low level experience! What do you mean that’s not fun?”
Chance to hit belongs in turn-based RPGs only.
