As it's a laptop, there isn't much to choose from here. Save money and buy a real computer next time (a desktop! aw yea)

...... just kiddin' Fuck that / Yao Ming

but I do think skyrim is kind of lacking in content compared to Oblivion :/

Yeah I agree, but Oblivion was pretty fucking boring. Morrowind is still the best, then Skyrim and last Oblivion.

A good friend from school is going to let me borrow Skyrim for a weekend to test it out. Laugh

Wait. We have a serious problem here. You thought that Morrowind was better than Skyrim? You mean the game with the interface windows that had to be dragged around the screen, the overcomplicated leveling/stat system, the general lack of voice acting, and a very slow beginning with almost no quests? I'm all for older games that are actually fun, but that game bored me out of my mind. I would actually rather do homework than play that game. Oh, did I forget to mention the luck-based combat? Ugh. So damn unsatisying. And then the bland environments and minimal amounts of NPC's... I could go on and on about why I hate Morrowind.

The skyrim interface could be improved, too...

Everything you just brought up could be said about every Bethesda game ever, sadly enough.
Skyrim is the first to mortgage either bland nor repetitive enviroment.
But yes, I do like Morrowind more. Because it actually offered intellectual challenges. The quests didn't have arrows pointing towards them, you had to read instructions on how to get there, take a wrong turn a few times and then find it.
It was much more satisfying. While Skyrim is indeed a great game and I think I have already logged over 40 hours on it, it is just way too casual. And not to talk about the quest lines being incredibly short and non rewarding.

Old games are harder. Just look at games like Super mario bros

First thing: Yotta, comparing Morrowind and Skyrim's interfaces is like comparing Plan 9 from Outer Space and Alien. I agree that Skyrim's could definitely be better, but Morrowind's was utter crap.
Second thing: I completely agree from a hardcore-ness standpoint, Hoi. But Morrowind wasn't a living, breathing world, and Skyrim is. That makes all the difference, I think. Besides, besides everything else, the combat really turned me off. It really took no skill whatsoever, something that was remedied in Oblivion.

Also, Skyrim does not have luck-based combat, a slow beginning, or a lack of NPC's.
