Skyrim has better graphics than Morrowind, therefore it's a better game!

Since when is a game that blatantly reuses assets wherever it can "hi-fi"

Okay, it's not "hi-fi."  But at least it doesn't use the giant walls of text.

This is a gross oversimplification, but basically, yes.

If it makes you feel any better, Saddam actually tried arguing that point on IRC until he backed out like a coward.

It is much harder to carry a long argument over on IRC because that usually requires actively sitting at your computer. Forums are the primary platform for a long, drawn out argument about how graphics are the single most important aspect of a game as we can each treat the argument like a slow turn based RPG battle.

No, I didn't.  I was trying to argue that the more advanced features of Skyrim - including but not limited to the better graphics - were why they couldn't match up with the "more of everything" that Morrowind offers.

Funny, I don't recall you saying anything about that.

I'm more inclined to believe Saddam when he says that wasn't the argument then I am to put faith in Blanko's memory.

So you were arguing with me when I wasn't even present, and still lost?

I was arguing with Blanko.  You aren't the only Morrowind fanboy in the world.

You know what game has the most of everything?  Well, maybe not weapons, but certainly city designs, architecture, dungeon variety, and stuff like that?  TESO.

Whelp. This just obliterated the numbers argument. Let's get back to graphics graphics graphics.

Why do you even post in this thread? You've never played an Elder Scrolls game. Why don't you go bother the losers in the Dr. Who thread?

I don't even know what a video game is. I can't go to that thread because spoilers. I'm waiting for the new season to arrive to Netflix, which at this rate will be like a year.

Another contradiction of the PGE in TESO - the Mane is not covered in a bunch of other Khajiit's manes.  It would have been tricky to implement, sure, but it's still a shame they left it out.

It's not a contradiction at all. TESO is canon.

What does that have to do with it?  I'm just saying that it contradicted what was written in the PGE.

They are both correct.
