And I guess Morrowind was dumbed down from Daggerfall? ;)
Maybe I will try Morrowind again sometime. Back when I first played it I was like 13 years old and my english wasn't any good. I remember that cities in Morrowind were a part of the world, not a different area that you had to enter and wait till it loads, like in Skyrim/Oblivion.
Funny you should mention it. It actually, probably was in some ways. I heard a lot of complaints at the time (but also a lot of praise) from daggerfall players about the daedra system. Apparently in daggerfall to summon a daedra to begin it's quest you had to go to a certain place at a certain time and make a certain offering on a certain date. Like you could only summon molag ball on the 13th of march at midnight with a blood vial or Azura on the winter solstice at dusk with a soul gem and if you missed the day, you couldn't do it for a whole in-game year. In morrowind you just went to their shrine whenever and you were golden. The old way required a lot more planning, that's for sure.
If you did I'd love to hear your impressions. Yeah it was pretty cool when they were part of the world. You could fly on account of this. Shame they don't bring back the in-world cities, but I guess they don't want to worry about the problems their radiant AI would run into with that... Alteration keeps getting reamed by getting big spells taken away with each iteration. And there's no water-walk in Skyrim? Boo.
