Instead of Skyrim, witht he graphics of Skyrim, would you?
I would.

I wouldn't mind Morrowwind either, I felt llike the world was larger there, IDK y, but it just felt like Morrowind was so much bigger then Skyrim...

That's because in Morrowind you couldn't see beyond the mist 10 feet in front of you and you couldn't run fast.

I'd go back to Morrowind, but I don't think I'd care for revisiting Cyrodiil. There wasn't anything very interesting about it, really.

Generic medieval-fantasy setting with very small variation in climate or terrain. All of the cities were basically similar - a walled hamlet with a dozen buildings, a church, and a palace with a Count of Countess in it. Very similar architecture. The Imperial City itself was bland, a lot smaller than it should've been,

That's because in Morrowind you couldn't see beyond the mist 10 feet in front of you and you couldn't run fast.

But mostly because fast travel was limited, and mostly confined to the West of the island, with sea transport around its circumference. This meant that a lot of the island's interior, and eastern portions were accessible only by foot. And with the rough terrain (mountains, mushrooms, rocks everywhere) you often had to take circuitous route to get somewhere if you didn't have a reliable and fast levitate spell. And besides, I'd rather have mist shrouding the distance in mystery, as opposed to Oblivion where I could look and see White Gold Tower from virtually anywhere in Cyrodiil.

Yeah I would, but without the horrendous level scaling.

Maybe it was the mist that made it feel endless...

Mostly this.

Skyrim is about the same size (if you look at a flat map) as Cyrodiil, but thanks to the mountains, it's actually a bit larger in terms of surface area. Both Oblivion and Skyrim have more playable area than Morrowind.

I'd go WAY back to Cyrodiil if I could. Way back meaning pre-Tiber Septim. Back to when it was a jungle instead of a tiresome, fantasy-generic temperate forest. I'm still annoyed that the devs changed it.

Of course he did. It's so obviously possible. He goes to a tavern, constatnly begins to annoy a wench, following her around. The tavern closes and the wench must go home to whatever slum she lives it. At this point the powers of his annoyingness have gotten the best of her,. The adoring fan (who is another species) uses his racial ability of "[censored] off,, little bugger!" which is an AoF power that ensues the targets in a state of paralysis. He then does the most vile of deeds.

And I would rather be able to see for miles as I can in real life. I guess the moral of the story here is that, everyone is different lets just get use to that fact shalt we?

Unless you go to the grand canyon, you can't really see for miles most of the time, the Earth is round, afterall.

This is true, it is also true that I have been on mountains where I have looked out to see so far that I could see the curve of the earth as things slopped out of sight. Much as I loved Morrowind I would hate to play games that were held back (viewing distance due to hardware capabilities) as the trend norm just because people love to look at games with rose tinted glasses.

Being able to see the White Gold Tower didn't kill the game. In fact in my opinion it helped cement the fact I was playing in a living world because while I was at point a, I could still see and understand that life was going on all across Tamerial.

I would go back to Cyrodiil if it didn't have the level scaling. Other than that, the graphics aren't THAT much different, but I haven't played Oblivion since Skyrim came out.

No, I wouldn't mind going back to Morrowind, but revisiting a world that was the focus of the last game of the series is just too soon in my opinion.

I don't want to go into a world with a boring landscape. (That's because At the time Bethesda had gotten lazy..) Still I wouldn't mind going back to Morrowind Or even Skyrim if the next ES game comes out. However I am rambling like a sheo lover. So I must stop
