Yeah that's what I figured. Bizarre all around. "Femoid" was too long for these pricks.

I hate how there's always some bizarre new term people are using for weird and bad reasons. "Foid". I can guess it's some weird demeaning term for women but still what the fucking fuck.

Seems a little fucked up.

Yeah it seems like a typo. There -> there's

What a persuasive method

There were jokes? I looked at many posts there and just saw impotent rage

You seem cool

Exactly my thoughts

Answer: people are morons.

Capitalism working as designed

So does liberal now just mean "someone I suspect is to the right of me"?

Nice. Thanks for your responses!

Neat! I assume you still need to have the original game files for that engine rewrite to run?

Haha yeah that is a crazy game to get started with.

So, I could go back and look at screenshots to jog my memory and write up my thoughts/experience, link you to reviews/articles/videos/etc, but I'm a little confused how you can be the type of person who is this into games (about 3 times more into them even when I was most into them in the early aughts), but somehow miss that there was anything good about one of the most popular games ever made. You would've needed to stubbornly avoid or dismiss hundreds of data points to have missed all of the good points of this game. It was a cultural phenomenon. I know people who still play it...on Switch for Christ's sake.

Because I know you could not have missed everything good about the game, but seem to claim to have, I'm gonna have to bow out. You might wanna work on your approach if you want people to feel comfortable sharing their opinion. Besides the overall "what exactly is good about the Beatles?" vibes here, the first sentence and a skim of this comment comes off pretty shitty tbh.

Maybe I'll play Morrowind again some day! I don't think I actually finished it but I did play it quite a bit. Those various environments you mentioned sound awesome and definitely only partially familiar.

I thought, all video games would have similarly interesting worlds

This is super interesting to me. I cut my teeth on NES games so most games I played impressed me on some level. I didn't like most games out there honestly but when games provided the right mix of things I was so in. I remember being very impressed with Morrowind and thinking it was more advanced and deep than any game I'd seen at that point!

I mean you're clearly exaggerating the fuck out of how unenjoyable you found it

Stopped reading at first sentence and blocked you since you're just trying to be a dick

Also, I laughed at this:

I just kept asking myself "what am I doing? Why am I playing this?", and stopped after a few hours.

You make it sound like torture but you kept going for hours lol

If the idea is that Skyrim isn't good because it's not your idea of a specific kind of rpg game, I got nothing for ya. It was a great game for so many of us.

... So you were super disappointed that the very old game which was incredibly complex for its time (and still is in many ways) didn't get more complicated since, what was it, 2012?

I sometimes play Quake 1, released 1996, from the lens of 1996. I mean I can see the graphics are bad by today's standards. And it was simple in most ways by today's standards. But the game was still a huge game changer in every way and looks great if you remember the games that came before it.
