Oblivion was way too easy like most games nowaday.. I mean.. whats the point with exploring when it points you straight into direction.
Most of the dungeons in Oblivion weren't quest related, so if you wanted to see everything in the game you pretty much had to do your own exploring. Unless stuff like the lair of the giant mudcrab was related to a quest that I missed somehow.

Anyway, has this compulsion to play an old game ever happened to you? With Morrowind perhaps? The game was so well built and so thorough it is hard to forget.
Did happen to me yesterday :) The game is AWSOME! The fact that it is old makes it even better. The map is trickier, - no strict markers, - I like that. Love the environment, too. The water is very real. Haven't used any mods yet, want to play it as it is, then the ad-ons.
So far i just love it.

My compulsion is a simple one. The designers summed it up best.
"If you're going to spend fifty bucks on a game enjoy the thing."
They included the construction tools and there's documentation aplenty on the net. This is why I love this game. No real purpose to my tinkering, just...you know, random stuff, see what I feel nice with.
As with everybody else who's seen the toolkit I've got a total conversion idea in my head, but you know, in all honesty no...just for the love of Christ Almighty no. I'm not skilled enough, and nobody else is interested, so i'll be happy building houses and maybe adding my own island...or two dozen. Now if only there was a way to include stuff like boats, or rideable mounts easily that'd be awsome. Ah well. i love thsi game, they did a good job designing it, and an even better job at keeping a person interested by including the world building tools they used with it.

I have that compulsion all the time. Mainly because my current PC is a piece of crap that won't run anything newer than 2002 so I've been playing Morrowind, Battlefield 1942, Thief II, NOLF, SShock2 etc. When I get my new rig in a few months I won't know what to do with myself!
I'll probably return to Morrowind sometime soon. Last I left it my character had just become a Werewolf :ebil:.

Morrowind is a much better game because it gives you more of a choice. Here are some examples:
Oblivion: Ill kill this quest guy. Damn, hes only unconcious. Morrowind: Ill kill this quest guy. WOOHOO! I screwed up the profecy! Oblivion:I cant drop this quest item. Morrowind: Should I deliver this note to Cais Cosades? Nah, Ill just dump it on Ash Mountain. Oblivion: Go do this spt. Just follow the compass. What you dont wanna travel? Ok, just use the map to teliport there. Morrowind: Go north, then west, head north some more, take the crossraod out to the east, through the random cave, take a left, and, well, youll get there eventually.
And also, I went back to playing the very original" "Legend of Zelda" Its a pretty good game too!

I played Morrowind for about 2 1/2 years before I even got round to completing the main quest. After around 4 or so years (on-and-off), my MW map (including the Bloodmoon expansion) was only maybe 75% filled, and a lot of that wasn't fully explored. Also, I've never completed the Fighters Guild, Telvanni, Redoran and a whole bunch of other societies. It's been a few years since I last played it (and I still haven't finished Oblivion - it just didn't capture me as much as MW), but this very thread has spurred me to return to it if / when I have time.
That damn White Guar quest still has me perplexed... if it even exists. I spent hours looking for that thing...

It does exist, if you can find those rocks, which are pretty obvious due to their unique set up, then it is just hidden around those.

If I had any idea what MW is all about when I started playing Oblivion, it wouldn't capture me as much too :)
I seem to like everything about the game (MW). In Oblivion every location looks the same. In MW it's like everytime you get into a new world with the whole new approach; different kinds of plants, different architecture styles, weather conditions (and I don't just mean rendom rain or snow), guard armor, etc, etc, etc....
Yes, and I, too, like it very much without the markers. Never liked being led from A to B. And I just love loughing at myself, having discovered a needed location right under my nose after the hours of walking about :p

Amazingly, I still haven't gotten Oblivion yet. But I got into Morrowind late, too. But in 2004-2005, I played Morrowind for thousands of hours. The only game I have logged more hours on other than Morrowind would have to be Doom back in the 90s. I tore through the main game and both expansions, started downloading a ton of mods, played expansion campaigns like White Wolf of Lokkan and Morrowind Underground, completely furnished my own castle. Played the game with three different characters, a Nord, a Breton, and a female vampire. I finally quit when there was nothing more I could do with the game to entertain myself. But it was a great run.

Yes, the white guar quest really exists. You head west from Vos, and you run into him. I remember it's by where that five finger rock formation is.
