Poll: Should Yahtzee Review Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind?

[Jimmy T. Malice]

I voted no, because the comments would inevitably turn into a shitstorm of complaints as Yahtzee criticises Morrowind for its many, many shortcomings without the benefit of nostalgia goggles.

They are two games in the same franchise, definitely close enough for comparison, so I'm sure it's a matter of choosing the better sauce here.

NO! He should review new interesting games to give them an increased market.

Not pander to the wishes of slugs.

The graphics and fighting mechanics are pretty darn archaic at this point. The game was fantastic and new (before Morrowind there was no legitimate notion of sandbox worlds that you were really free to explore) when we it came out but I don't know how well it'd fare now.

I agree but can't help point out that Ultima VII (1992) was probably the first true sandbox world RPG. Yeah, I know I'm old, sorry.

OT: No, there are way too many new games where having his insight might actually make think about buying a game or not. Retro reviews when he has nothing else on his schedule are nice, but I already own and know how I feel about Morrowind.

Even so, which sauce is better will ultimately come down to personal opinion. It's about choosing the better sauce for you.
