philosophy of gaming

Dear Sirahs, N'Wahs, and Dunmers----
I am quite certain that all posters here as well as on other sites have
been playing games for years and years. I know I have. I just wanna say
that that this is the ONLY game I have played that has a philosophical
underpinning. The idea, among many other good ideas, is to enable the
country to prosper and share the wealth. I have come across games that have
cloned this idea, though not to such good effect. ALL other games I have
played seem to neglect this notion of a simple way to develop an area, or
have a really cool finale. I think it would be bitchin' to have a finale
where your character brings together all the end elements and politic the
game to a final higher level. You wind up with all the goodies. You wind up
with all quests completed. One should, at this point, be able to: sponser
new adventurers, have your stronghold a central area, solve the quotidian
problems of the masses, and overall, change the face of Morrowind. The idea
is there, but the game ends too shortly. Comments?

The creators of Morrowind couldn't think of everything, which is why
they added the ability for others to create mods for the game. As long
as people make new and fun mods for Morrowind, the game will never
truely end... And for that, we owe the creators of the mods we use a
debt of gratitude!

Thank You Mod Creators for sharing your many creations with us lesser
but hopefully thankful Beings! ^_^


That's my 2¢,

Sounds good to me. I would love a UNIFICATION expansion pack.

Both yours and FTA's comments are quite worthy. I mean, they would not
have to create a whole new game, just UNIFY it, sorta like being a Shiekh,
or a Pasha. Or a sort of wise man/woman with power to do all kinda things
over Morrowind. Some ideas maybe too big for their britches? LOL---

Only thing:Tamriel rebuilt is trying to create a unified
tamriel world. The project is split into claims (for
landscape areas, building interiors, dungeons etc)
and sub-projects (lore, books, npc'c AND quests)

Your idea, which I wouldn't mind seing realised,
would mean a major work-over and be either a
super quest - or could be split into 'sections'
and made by a group of players under a
moderator, to keep track of it all (just a
thought)
