 After trying them both modded up, I certainly thought so. Without mods, the gap is even larger.

I mean I have a single core CPU and I have no problems at all.

That's because you have a single core CPU.

Generally speaking, Morrowind's engine gets horribly inefficient once you start raising texture dimensions. At least it's better at handling tons of NPCs in the same room than Oblivion is.

[Sordid]

Is Morrowind better than Oblivion?

On points, yes. That doesn't mean there's not a lot wrong with it, mind. They're both built to the exact same formula, but they still manage to be polar opposites to each other in that everything that was wrong in Morrowind Oblivion fixed and everything that was great it fucked up.

I liked Morrowind's lore and story more, but Oblivion can be more eyecandy (much more). So they end up like totally different games for me.

Did you try installing Morrowind 2011?

[Deon]

No because I haven't played Morrowind since... I think 2009 or early 2010. I'll check it now though, I am intrigued.

I hope I will be able to merge it with other 500+ mods I have so I don't have too many conflicts (Yeah I have like 9 Gb of Morrowind mods installed).

[Imofexios]

I think i try to have fun with Oblivion and start with 80% difficulty.
Dunno if i can find any awesome mods to have fun with?

[Lightning4]

The utter alien-ness of Morrowind was one of those endearing points for me.

Sadly, Oblivion lacked in this department other than Oblivion planes and a few token sea-creatures that logically would be prevalent.

I suppose it makes sense in a way, since as far as Tamriel goes, Vvardenfell is very unqiue in many ways due to the volcano dominating and shaping the land.

[Domenique]

Morrowind has a much much more complex story and setting, dozens of factions, each with dozens of characters with their own intentions and motivations... I've always seen Morrowind as a living world, with a much better atmosphere ergo story than Oblivion ever could. Oblivion is just Tolkien-esque adventure, Morrowind is like... something totally new, un-seen, cultural and atmospheric.

Check any list of "must have mods". Without them Oblivion is pretty bland IMHO. The terrible level lists alone make it almost unplayable.

I am still not clear what graphical mod to use, wouldnt adding them together cause problems? Deon, you list a graphical mod in you post on the first page and other have mentioned Morrowwind 2011 and Morrowwind Overhaul. Im so confused!

Graphical mods just replace textures and meshes in the Morrowind folder, they can't conflict with anything.

[Sensei]

Well, unless you're silly and try to use two mods that replace the same stuff.

Also, if a mod adds new models, and those were supposed to fit in with regular Morrowind models, prepare for ugly!

But yeah, you'll probably be fine.

[Deon]

Also there is a reason why there are such thing as a "mod load order" and "merged files". Use any sane mod manager or and sorter and you will be fine.

[ductape]

i installed Morrowind 2011 and it is much more than just graphics, it seems to include at least some of the mods Deon has on his list up there because I went to load a couple such as 'Morrowind Comes Alive' and found it was already there.

The reason it is confusing to me is because I dont know much about the different mods and dont want to spend the time to learn it all. I dont want to load mods as a hobby, I just want to play a really good version of Morrowind. From what I understand, this is exactly why the creator re-packager of Morrowind 2011 did what he did and blast all the whiners for whining I say! YAR!

I wish I could easily tell what mods were included in Morrowind but I guess I will play it as is.
