Bethesda Admits Oblivion Sacrificed Some of What Made Morrowind Special

Bethesda’s Todd Howard admitted to OXM that he felt Oblivion sacrificed some what made Morrowind special He said it lost the charm , the sense of wonder that Morrowind had as you were an adventurer in a strange land discovering fantastical locations. Oblivion was a much more familiar fantasy setting. “With Oblivion, we’re dealing with the capital province, and we wanted to get back to the more classic Arena and Daggerfall feel of a fantasy world that felt more refined and welcoming,” he further added “But in that, we sacrificed some of what made Morrowind special; the wonder of discovery.” I fully concur with his assessment. I loved Morrowind because it had these amazing places that always made me admire the creativity of the people who made that game. According to Howard, Bethesda are trying to find a middle ground with Skyrim.
