RPG wise though its certanly up there

Slavic mythos is not something that is brought up alot in vidya

This is modded, by the way. Picture related is Bethesda's jewel in all of its naked glory.
>>
>>321287825
that is easily the best area of morrowind too, so it's a fair screenshot.

I think morrowind was good for it's time, beyond that it's just another walking simulator that has zero depth and bland combat.

Well, I do believe you missed much of the game, including the main quest line, the underlying themes, and the whole city of Vivec.

In terms of RPG writing it's absolutely the best one in ages

In terms of mechanics it's nothing new
>>
>>321283295
morrowind is in no way modern
>>
>>321289608
Witcher 3 would be way better if CDPR took a step back and asked themselves what the fuck they have done in regards to designing the combat and most of the gameplay systems in the game.

But that's nothing new, CDPR was always pretty bad at designing games from the technical side, I just didn't expect them to drop the ball so fucking hard on most of the mechanics when they got some of them well in W1 and W2.
>>
>>321283295
Batman is better RPG than Witcher 3
>>
>>321289764
I actually really enjoyed the combat, I just didn't think it did anything innovative

Biggest problem with Witcher 3 is that it gets much easier as it goes on

Morrowind is unplayable and never was

Witcher is NOT an RPG

There is no 'role' to play
>>
Oblivion is better than Morrowind
>>
>>321291456
So which is?
>inb4 kotor
>>
>>321291602
KOTOR 2
>>
>>321291602
>DnD RPG and character development
>Baldur's Gate 2
>RPG for story
>Planescape Torment
>RPG for gameplay
>Probably Gothic 1 or 2

There are a lot of contenders for the title but the only good thing Morrowind goes well is lore and world building, but actual gameplay is absolute horseshit and character development isn't that good either
>>
>>321283295
No. And I love both equally.
>>
>>321291483
Wut

This makes no sense, half the fucking RPG genre has you playing named characters with a personality.

Are you really gonna claim planescape isn't an RPG too
>>
>>321291602
skyrim
>>
>>321292076
but anon don't you know that rpg games HAVE to have a character creator, thats why fallout 4 is the best rpg ever.
>>
>>321283295

Eh it certainly is up there in quality but i'm not sure you can really compare the two.
>>
>>321291483
The game has gear with stats - rpg mechanic
Levelling tree - rpg mechanic
Decisions that let you play a character - rpg mechanic
Levelled enemies - rpg mechanic

How isn't it an rpg?

HARDLY MODED SKYRIM

>>321291331
Lol. What a fag.

>>321291226
Give me one reason why it isn't.

Yes. Witcher actually has an interesting story and characters with substance.
>>
>>321291483
I want bethdrones to leave this earth.

Character creators do NOT define an RPG.

Hell, fucking Arkham Knight and Syndicate was more of an RPG than Fallout 4.

FO4 is literally Borderlands: Fallout edition. It's an RPG lite.
>>
>>321293874
>he thinks that Morrowind fans care about FO4
how cute
>>
>>321291957
I would argue that lore and worldbuilding as well as everything that goes into worldbuilding are the most important aspect of immersion, so Morrowind is still one of the best RPGs out there...and custom magic/enchants/alchemy is fun
Also modding community with stuff like Sotha Sil expanded
>>
>>321291957
Dnd is the best role playing game that has been created thus far. Nothing can compare.

Vidya is dying, jump ship to next.

Fuck you, if you love Crunchy stuff go play GURPS
There is literally no reason to play DnD because it has better alternatives in every way and fashion, especially post ADnD

But then Morrowshit still fails in immersion because of glaring inconsistencies and missing aspects of previous games.

>NPCs are walking, talking brochures
>No one sleeps, businesses never close
>Guilds don't give a shit if you work with an opposing guild as long as they like you
>Guy with a fucking daedric dai katana died in a fucking Kwama mine

Morrowshit would make a good book, but as a game it is shit in every aspect.

>Best at anything

>>321295578
Fair enough
>>
>>321295535
>>321295691
>>321295787
Yeah that's FATAL. Also Gurps is pretty based but I've never seen a group playing it. There are fuckloads of great PnP games desu, so glad I found them to supplement vidya.

Gothic fag please go with your lies, I will never understand why you guys hate Morrowind so hard.
The superior game got more popular, nothing to be salty about, Gothic would never become as big as TES.
>>

I'm not the guy you were arguing with, and I never got around to Gothic 2 or 3. Also, fucking none of those are lies. Quit being a fucking typical /v/ parrot praising a shit game to fit in.

I prefer Dark Souls and Dragon's Dogma
>>
>>321296442
they aren't really similar to WRPG/CRPG intents and purposes
DaS and DD are more concentrated on this combat oriented experience, Souls have the added effect of this dark world and almost survival feel to it
WRPGs and CRPGs are more about immersion in a big rich fantasy world (usually based on DnD settings, be it crazy settings or typical settings) and interactive storytelling
They are basically almost trying to imitate table top games
>>
>This is what Witcherfags actually believe

I mean, it is the best TES game but TES is pretty shit regardless.

morrowind best atmosphere of all time, deal with it plebs

As a TES fanboy TW3 >> TESIII. All of TES' quests are retarded. At least it isn't a JRPG I guess.
>>
>>321297069

This word tends to come up a lot when people defend Bethesda games, for some reason.
>>
>>321297145
As opposed to Witcher 3? Where every single side quest that was not shit was derivative of main quest?
And say what you want but somehow Oblivion managed to have some of the best quests that actually give you multiple approaches to them.
>>
>>321297145
As a Witcher fanboy TESIII >>> TW3. All of TW3 quests are retarded.

I'd say something about Geralt's animations, but witcherkiddies always defend it with "HE'S A MUTANT READ THE BOOKS".

Somehow they shut up when someone reminds them that he was supposed to actually see some shit in the dark without using any retarded potions.
>>
>>321291483
RPG

You assume a role and character created by you, and play it according to that.
>>
>>321296649
Dogma could easily be a western rpg desu, it has a very believable world and all the typical questing stuff.
>>
>>321298874
nah, worldbuilding in DD is shallow compared to something like Planescape or even Witcher
same goes for quest complexity and varrieties in which you can complete them but Witcher 3 sucks at those too
>>
No.
>>
>>321293874
This.
>>
>>321296328
You're missing the fucking point.

It's an Imperial General.
With a Daedric Dai Katana.
Dying to fucking Kwamas.
>>
Why is Geralt such an asshole, /v/? I liked him better when he had amnesia. Now I just want him to shup up whenever he's talking, and that's even with me having a bit of a say in what he's going to say.
>>
>>321283295
for fucks sake stop hailing that game as the second coming. morrowind is pretty fucking good but it is nowhere near perfect or the "Best modern RPG" because it isnt even modern and the world feels dead and the combat is shit. no replay value and the factions dont make any sense.
