True. As far as freeroaming goes, the Elder Scrolls games are obviously the best, and even defeating games like GTA easily when it comes to freeroaming.

Your right on that one. But I just like how verstile you are in GTA instead of feeling like a robot in marrowind.

And you can do alot of things on San Andreas, you just have to improvise.

Ex. My friend put a cheat for the jet on co-op, he piloted while I got on the jet. Then he tries hard not to go too fast that way I wont be kicked off. And I also have gotten on other vehicles raining massacre.

Robot? You realise that Morrowind is first-person? Yeah its switchable, but you never get the impression of being a robot...

I'm seriously doubting you ever played Morrowind, Shadow Wulf.
:P

And like I said, GTA games are very limited but you don't really realise that because you've got a entire city for your own (a entire world in Morrowind). And if you read your journal in Morrowind you should have known what to do.

I played marrowind for the xbox and Im telling you the character felt kinda clunky. :P

But I still like marrowind, I was overwhelmed of how big the world is.

I don't think Morkulv was making a big deal out of it, just disagreeing with you. You, after all, are the one who called Morkulv a fanboy.

Thats not an insult. plus he claims that I havent played morrowind. I just simply stating my oppinion, nothing that serously go againts morrowind and he insist on disagreeing with me no matter what. I just wish he can drop it already. I just think the characters move kinda clunky thats all.

Sorry but everytime I say Morrowind, I say as if its spelled Marrowind, it just stuck with me and I try hard to stop. I do like Morrowind. I can think of nothing bad about it except it takes a freakin hour to get from one town to the next. :lol:

Bah, try Stalker. Morrowind at least has bug-buses.

In Stalker one has to hoof it everywhere. The only saving grace here is that you can sprint and run super-fast for short periods of time. Though this can be lengthened by chugging energy drinks as you run...

Not always the smartest thing to do though. As one quickly learns why there are no vehicles aside from the occaisonal APC, Jeep or Helicopter in the zone. Anomalies can be hard to spot when moving fast and you really do not want to run directly into a "Vortex" anamoly. It doesn't end well.

It's worth it now, I think. It's only 40 bucks afterall.

Stalker most certainly isn't lacking story. It's got a great one thus far, and supposedly has like, 7 endings. I'm not done yet and it's still got me wondering things. And from what I hear you'll still be left wondering until you've gotten a number of the endings. Since, like life, Stalker won't tell you everything.

Oh! that does sound good then. Next time I have a chance I will pick it up. I always enjoy a game that can always have a diffrent ending that has a good reason to play it over and over to learn new things. :)

Ty for the response most appreciated. :D
