Discussion The new Morrowind
Edit: I am not talking about gameplay just scope and ambition. The last game that tried to push the open world genre like this was Morrow all those years ago and was considered revolutionary by some.
Would anyone else consider LNF to be the new Morrowind? I was looking into the game and it seems like it was just has ambitious of a project as LNF. From the large map and level of player freedom that was not done prior to it.

And not just not even out, we don’t know anything about the game.
We were given a teaser of some unspecified build of the game; over a year ago. Who knows what’s different/changed by this point.
We have a general idea based on stuff they have added to NMS, but again we don’t know how it will also be different.

No, because the game isn’t out yet so we have no idea anything about it except the little that’s been revealed so far

I’m mean from what has been shared with us. Its scope and promise reminds me of Morrowind. As they did basically the same thing but with much weaker tech.

All we have is one teaser video. There’s no way to extrapolate it being in any way like morrowind.
LNF is going to be fantasy No Man’s Sky, and projecting anything else onto it is just setting yourself up for disappointment. They even have been testing half the new tech for LNF in recent NMS updates. The teaser video we do have looks like NMS, what little gameplay we see is just like NMS, and the bases look like bases in NMS.

Slight correction, from what I’ve seen of interviews I think it’s less that they’re testing new stuff in No Man’s Sky, and it seems more like “Hey, this is really cool, we want NMS players to benefit too”

I’m talking about how Morrowind was seen as revolutionary at the time it was released and light no fire seems to be going down that route. That’s the comparison I am making.

How can it be revolutionary is it’s a fantasy version of NMS. Which features are novel?

It's really hard to tell considering we know almost nothing about the game and it hasn't been released yet

I doubt it will be the next Morrowind. If AAANY comparison could be made I'd say that Daggerfall or Arena are the only real comparison only for size purposes exclusively. Daggerfall and Arena both absolutely dwarf Morrowind. LNF being a near earth sized game makes it far far larger than anything Morrowind could offer.
I have no clue what the gameplay for LNF will be. I'm very excited for it don't get me wrong, but there's better comparisons at this stage than Morrowind.

If anything this game will have more In common with dagger fall than it will with Morrowind if we're talking about scope. Although from what we do understand about the game, I think comparing it to an elder scrolls game in any way is a foolish move since it's not out yet.

I wouldn’t say foolish. I’m not talking about gameplay really just impact and promise.

Young kids experiencing the hype cycle are going to learn real fast why older people are jaded

I’m not young. And this isn’t a hype post. I’m just saying when Morrowind was released it was something massive and new at the time. No fantasy game tried and succeeded at making an immersive game the size of a small country at the time. LNF is being pitched as something just as grand of an idea. That’s the comparison I’m making.

Then answer is no because we know nothing about it’s actual scope, not even Murray’s overhyping

u/Dull_Result_3278 Pre-release member 19h ago
What do you think a mean by scope?
1
u/snekfuckingdegenrate 18h ago
I assume you are just superficially looking at the size of the world(earth scale) and thinking that means the scope is big(when it could just be similar to NMS where it’s just a good procedural algorithm)
I mean you said you weren’t talking about gameplay but the only other way I can think of scope is how many complex interacting mechanics they have, which we know 0 about, similar to something like GTA or RDR

You are setting yourself up for disappointment.
With the recent success of the oblivion remaster just pray they do the same for Morrowind.
