Reading this reminds me once again how disappointing Oblivion was in comparison to Morrowind. A much tighter game mechanically, certainly, but lacks the beauty of its predecessor.

Oblivion is the worst game I ever dumped 150 hours into. It was atrocious, and I knew it was atrocious while I was playing it, but I really wanted to run around putting on clothes, collecting books, and launching fireballs.

150 hours suggests they did *something* right. Nonetheless, my PC is just going to laugh at me if I suggest running Oblivion, and although it can do Morrowind unlike my last one, I was never able to play it for more than an hour or so before I put it away again, having no clue what to do. For me there's apparently such a thing as being too open-ended, and Morrowind is it.

Haha I'm the opposite of most of you. I couldn't stand Morrowind but Oblivion was great. It is definitely a game that I would like to play again but that will probably never happen.

Morrowind is a fantastic game. I never had a problem figuring out where to go - your journal pretty much tells you. But, as was stated earlier, you have the freedom to do pretty much whatever you want in between.

I can't imagine getting truly lost or stuck in either game. Morrowind is bigger, Oblivion is deeper but tigther, and both allow you to wander off everywhere - but neither ever made me get lost.

It does if you're prone to choice paralysis :) When I was following the "main quests", if there is such a thing, I was doing okay, but the moment I wandered off to do whatever, as people kept telling me I should do, I missed my structured linear RPG experience.
