Quote: " The Xbox version is scaled back somewhat from the PC version, and there's no reason not to have a scaled back version for PS2."
Xbox processing power is more than twice as much as PS2, so good luck spending time and effort scaling it back only to get a crappy version of the game that noone would buy. Morrowind at the time pushed through new boundaries of the game development, a cut down scaled back version of morrowind would defeat its purpose. because noone would buy a scaled back PS2 version of morrowind. I ran the game on a PC thats even weaker than an Xbox was. a 600Mhz pentium 3 i hated how chuggy and slow the game was. Now Ps2 runs on a 330mhz processor,
Try scaling down the whole game yourself and get it to run on a pentium 2 pc, there are plenty of tools out there for models and textures, and then run it on your mentium 2 youself... Finally ask yourself. Was it worth it?
Btw, you inspired me to create a picture for you
youre welcome!

there are mods for mounts, you can ride, guars, nix hounds, giant cliffracers or if you really want dragons, there are mods for morrowind that give you flying dragons you could ride
But i didnt find the lack of mounts making the game worse.
Quote: "I did not know that Oblivion is single player. Thanks for telling me."
i know you are being sarcastic but you refered to oblivion as a single player mmorpg. so like oblivion is a single-player massive multiplayer online roleplayeing game.
Quote: "What's to say Morrowind isn't a part of Earth's history?
"
because morrowind isnt part of earths history. The world that Elder Scrolls series takes place in is called Tamriel and as far as i am concerned isnt really a planet at all more like a flat plane.
Quote: " Red eyes are fine, but they seem so elderly, and not in a hot Pamela Anderson way, and not in an erotic fanfiction way either, nor are they elderly in a mythological way. They just look old. Keep the red eyes but get some younger voice actors and don't put so many wrinkles in their faces.

Yes young hot dark elf chicks are all the rage these days, The ragged worn down dark elves suit morrowind better since if you noticed, morrowind is an ash desert for the most part with constant sand storms. There is barley any fertile enough farm land capable of growing anything, infact most of it is taken up by farms already. If you noticed, the food they eat dosent look very pleasant to eat, most things that grow in the wild are poison and the majority of morrowind population is dirt poor. Conditions of living in morrowind overall is pretty stressfull and stress (combined with low nutrient diet, and eating disorders does tent to cause wrinkles and gray hair earlier than normal. The old sounding voices are likley the resuld of massive amounts of alcohol which i found to be more abundunt than food products. living in such harsh conditions does make people want to drown their sorrows in a bottle.
Quote: " Steampunk is cool, but what about cyberpunk? This would go along with time travel to the 20th century. Besides, casting spells is very unscientific. I'm all about magic, but the way they do it in Morrowind just seems wrong."
If thats the case, then traveling 2000 years forward to a point in the future of Tamriel would dissapoint you. It will proboly stay almost the same way the biggest difference would be more advanced magic. There would be no advanced technology. If monkeys had magic they would not evolve into humans. The reason we have all the technology now is because, we had to figure out how to get stuff done more efficientley since there is no magic to help us. If i could blast microwaves out of my hands, i wouldnt need an actual microwave.
On multiplayer, I dont know about skyrim but morrowind and oblivion have very crappy mods that can make a 2 player game sessions possible. via lan or internet somehow. I only tried the morrowind one with a friend and i couldnt get it to work.
Quote: "And I will not sleep until Dagoth Ur is at my feet and begging for mercy, then I'll use Keening and Sunder to destroy him forever!
Then it's off to Solsthiem!
"
I always wondered about Neravorine and Dagoth ur. So the 2 were buddies, and working for the tribunal who were pretty much manipulative backstabbing scumbags even before they asended to a god status. (and i am pretty sure they had something to do with the dwemer extinction to get their hands on heart of a dead super god) The tribunal sends the 2 to recover the heart for them which they would obviosly use to not persue more power at the expence of someone else suffering.
Dagoth, sees this and decides it would not be a very good idea to give the heart to the likes of those 3. Neravaraine is in a dillema to where his loyalties lie and he foolishly comes back to consault the tribunal leaving his friend to guard the heart. While the tribunal seeing nerevarine come back without the gods heart, decide to assasinate him. The tribunal tries to take the heart by force but get their butt kicked by daghoth. Tribunal and dagoth get angry at each other, make power plays to expand their control and influence over the region, and normal population suffers at their expense.
This was the real thing that happened that was hidden from pretty much everyone. Yet Neravarine incarnate after finding this out decides to help the tribunal anyway? The thing is, i am getting the feeling that the tribunal are evil backstabbing scumbags and dagoth ur is the good guy. Altho i realize that both sides are pretty insane, but if i had a choice, i would help dagoth.
dont hate people who rip you off,cheat and get away with it, learn from them
