PC or Xbox?

Post by Kool69 »

I'm thinking about buying the GOTY version of morrowind, but i have a little problem. I have a computer with nice running speed for about everygame I own , such as D2 LOD, and I also have a Xbox. So I'm wondering if I should get it for Pc or Xbox, oh and can anyone please tell me some of the differances of the two?

Definitely PC - for two reasons:
- you (almost) cannot cheat on xbox; :D
- there are a lot of nice plug-ins for PC version, Bethesda's own including, not available for xbox. Moreover, you're going to be able to make ones yourself.
There's also the reason i do not know if it is true, altogether i've heard that on a good PC the game is running more smoothly.
The last but not least: there's no patches for xbox.

PC:

-Construction Set
-Console access (very helpful when your PC gets stuck in seaweed)
-Plug-ins
There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.

I have both versions...I play the x-box more often...My reasons:

1. Almost never crashes
2. Action almost never skips, even after long play between saves.(Though I would never recomend that)
3. I just like the way the game integrates with the X-Box controller. It feels so much more natural that the mouse and keyboard.
4. You really don't need cheats that often in MW..it is too easy to cheese this game as it is ;)

It is going to be installed (at least as an option, cannot reacall because have installed looooong way ago) together with the game, the icon is something resembling Swiss Army knife, it's named "Elder Scrolls Construction set". It's alvays have been installed for me at least. Anyway, it has to be in your 2 CD set, the 2nd disk, i believe (i have only the one necessary to play here right on the spot).

Another Question

Hmmm, with the construction set or another editor could you make a "black" set of glass armor? If you could how hard would it be? And maybe, just maybe, if someone has already had this idea then could they post a copy of it here? Thanks for the info before everyone :D !
