geez
   

This is one of the most unforgiving forums i have ever seen, seriously, look around at suggestions, 90% get flamed. Im just saying i would enjoy the ABILITY for multiplayer, sure the current game isnt suited for it, but hell id sit for 200 hours in the tes:cs making it suited for 2+ people if it were possible to set up a lan game.

i see where your coming from, but theres no reason to get pissed.
God, there are like 400,000 people who play everquest and that world is about 1/10th as lively as morrowind, if only we could mod it to suit up to like 6 people...

Yeah, why are some of you getting defensive?

Because I want more out of the game?

Personally, my first char is Hlallu/Thieves guild and I found it rediculously easy to become master of them both. And where are the perks? I am leader and that is it. There is no final set of quests for me, the leader, to partake in. No secret gear, no nothing. Just run some "errands" and I am unceremoniously declared the boss.

That is why I want an expack. I think there should be more to do. Much more to do.

But do I think MW sucks? No.
Do I think MW is not meeting it's full potential? Yes.
It is great, but lacking in alot of areas.

It is so close to being perfect that it's not even funny.

That's absolutely right, there are just a few things that in reality only the developers are going to do. Morrowind could be incredible, like the best game ever, if only a few things were implemented

I want little perks and easter eggs, dammit!

The XP should add things like AI routines (both for citizens and combat npcs). If this happens I will gladly pay another 30$.

Kenny: The MP discussion has raged here quite often, and if someone mentions it there is a pretty big chance of it being a troll who wants a flamewar. But to tell you why it shouldnt be mp:

HUGE resource drain
Player inbalance increased
How much freedom will one have? Can you break quests for the other?

In short, yes, a multiplay option would be fun, but it has to be redesigned from the ground up. There is a reason why mmorpgs are so shallow.

And to that otehr dude, I wont explain again why the MW AI is more advanced then Gothic's. I did this some topics below.

multiplayer
   

Kenny, during Morrowind's entire development it was touted as the ultimate SINGLE PLAYER experience. It was developed that way and that way only.

This is not a flame, I am just telling you why what you want will never happen, and SHOULD never happen.

Asking for multiplayer morrowind is like asking for single player everquest.

As far as the improvements... give the devs time... they will be releasing more official plugins as well as a patch. The patch will iron out 90% of concerns, and the remaining 10% will be handled by plugin.

And btw, night and day will be so hard to implement that it probably won't hapen even with $30 for an expansion pack. Night and day cycles are something that needs to be designed from the ground up, not added at the last minute. Everyone needs a bed to sleep in, and not everyone has one to return to.

It just struck me that although Morrowind would make a terrible MMORPG, it would be damn good fun to play with one or two friends in the same world. Just a thought.

Hi All

Hope you'll forgive the badger for pitching into the debate when he does not even have the game yet. (end of the week. end of the week. end of the week. end of the week!)

It has been mentioned a couple of times on this thread, that some people don't understand why an expension pack would ever be released for a game like Morrowind, unless it envolved another place/island. Also, why don't people use the editor to change the things they don't like or add the things they want to see.

Ok, bearing in mind that as I said I have not had the opportunity to see the game yet, a couple of things spring to mind.

1/ Expansion Pack. In these Jet setting times, we move around the world at will, see and do different things and meet different people. But in Ye Olde Days, folks would often be born and die in a five mile radius.

Thing is, for those people the world changed around them. As the years went by over a lifetime, many things will have stayed the same, but many things will have changed. A whole ecology can change in a short space of time. I guess you could say that God supplies the expansion packs. So it doesn't seem illogical to me that you could have an expansion pack for Morrowind, without having to change the local.

2/ Editor. I have a basic grasp of things computer. By which I mean that I can turn it on/off and hopefully make it do something constructive between those two events. But, in all probability I will never touch the editor.
In the first place I am sure it will be horribly complicated to use, for those of us who think that a byte is something you take out of a piece of chicken.

But there's something else to. Lets assume that the editor is the most intuitive tool ever designed. One look at it is enough to have me creating the sweeping curve Morrowinds hills and the Darkly evil shadows of it's dungeons. Maybe I'm not disposed to do it? Not everybody will be.

If I finish a particualrly good book. I want the author to write another one. There is nothing to stop me from writing the sequel myself for my own pleasure. There is nothing to stop me from reading possible sequels to it that OTHER people wrote. But generally I don't tend to do this, because I want to see where the author goes with it.

OK... above examples to make you grin. But the point is that many people will be enthralled with the editor and use it to create fantastic add ins. But not everyone is inclined or capable and these folks will want an expansion pack. Added to which, if one arrived, I bet not many of the Editor wizzards are going to turn thier collective noses up are they?

Shutting up now till I am qualified to speak (IE have the game. next week. next week. next week)

Badger.
