The difference between Morrowind and Oblivion was what? Essentially, just vastly improved combat and graphics at the expense of the sometimes cringe-worthy voice overs and what else?

It's the same style of world and graphics.

What made Morrowind better? I seemed to have liked Morrowind better as well, I have trouble remembering why.

I was thinking, and I think I know what made Morrowind so much more interesting.

Oblivion is like Earth. Morrowind was like another world. The trees and plants all were unique and interesting looking, where in Oblivion, the trees look like stuff you see everyday outside, which made it considerably less interesting.

The expansion for Oblivion, 'Shivering Isles' was superb. It was so much more like Morrowind, but with improved graphics.

You can also mod the crap out of it to remove all the voices and just use the subtitles, if it bothers you.

Actually, keep it simple - I realized you don't even need to mod it to remove the voice overs, just go into the options and turn the voice overs off.

Shivering Isles and Morrowind did indeed look more interesting, but I was engrossed into Oblivion's world almost as much.

Oblivion was like googly goo pretty lights for the console retards, Morrowind was engrossing and full of depth.
Even Todd 'UGG ME WANT SHINY SWORD! HUH HUH COOL HUH HUH' Howard admitted that most people couldn't do the first quest in Morrowind (LOL) and that's why OB played like an instruction vid for the mentally retarded.

Such a shame they have to lower RPGs to the level of the average public instead of raising the public up to the level of their PRGs...

Yes and what people fail to remember is Morrowind on the XB1, which wasn't dumbed down in any way, remained on the Top 10 sales list for the XB1 for over 1 year after its release, a feat ONLY managed by one other game on the XB1 and that game was Halo: Combat Evolved.

So I wouldn't say it's fair to say 'for the console retards' it's for gamer retards overall, I constantly encounter shitloads of PC gamers that've never heard of Morrowind but absolutely love Oblivion(without mods I might add.)

Besides, I'd call Morrowind simplified compared to Daggerfall also.

Anyway it's so cute with people who seem to think there isn't a substantial number of 'retard' gamers as you put it on the PC just as well as on the consoles.
