/lit/ - Literature

[Anonymous No.6019215]

Why is it that /lit/ seems to have both better taste in music and enjoy it more than /mu/, has better taste in film and enjoys it more than /tv/, and better taste in vidya than /v/? I'm more likely to find a fan of Morrowind, Renaissance composers, and art films here than in any of their respective boards.

Because more tryhards come here.

But mostly because all of those boards suck and are infested with teenagers.

Morrowind was worse than Oblivion and Skyrim even.

Morrowind being boring is such a meme. If you play for more than an hour and don't have shit taste then you'll get hooked.

Because the posts in /v/ and /tv/ are mostly ebin dank memes. I'm not saying /lit/ doesn't have those, but it's not on the same level.

One of the /v/ memes is that Morrowind is better than Skyrim. Get the fuck out, you humongous faggot. Take off your nostalgia glasses and play modded Skyrim on PC.

Because /lit/ has an elitist tone and holds to classical values, which keeps the hipster/YA bullshit out for the most part. /mu/'s poster band is a famous indie band that every uneducated, under-read faggot in a coffee house knows. /lit/'s poster is James Joyce*. That will attract different people.


*inb4 DFW, face it faggots, that age is over. /lit/ has moved on to the canon.

If you're talking about Neutral Milk Hotel: it's actually a good band. They probably adore them for the wrong reasons, however, because their other favorite bands are far worse.

Modders have an even shittier sense of aesthetics than Bethesda. Somehow.

Also, why compare Skyrim and Morrowind? They're only related by developer and lore, essentially. Skyrim is an alright action adventure game with RPG aspects, and Morrowind is a good RPG with action adventure aspects.

[Anonymous No.6019313]

>Morrowind is a good RPG

It isn't an RPG anymore than Skyrim is. It's still just an adventure game, and a far more boring one than Skyrim.

Skyrim is a casual console game with a footing in legitimate gaming due to its ancestry. This is why it's championed by a new generation of virgoes with no taste.

Deaf Grapes are good, their fan base is just shit.
Their music isn't even that challenging really, it's a bit unusual but not nearly as "out there" as their hardcore fans would have you think.
Also, do the mods EVER remove threads that blatantly aren't about literature?

[Anonymous No.6019375]

>>6019281
No, a game is better if you improve on things from older installements and trim the extra fat.

How is Morrowind better than Skyrim?

>>6019304
The Elder Scrolls games are pretty much the same thing every five years with a few minor changes. Skyrim is as much of an RPG as Oblivion and Morrowind.

I love both games but Skyrim holds your hand too much and the leveling system, while better than in Oblivion, gets obvious and annoying when you hit higher levels.

I think oblivion skyrim and morrowind are equally good but I felt that daggerfall and arena are too limited by the technology of the time to fulfil their potential

>Skyrim is as much of an RPG as Oblivion and Morrowind.
Morrowind uses dice rolls, Skyrim doesn't
Morrowind uses a journal system and people giving you directions, Skyrim uses a quest marker
Skyrim scales everything's power according to your level, Morrowind doesn't
Morrowind lets you do far more than Skyrim (including mother fucking levitation)
Morrowind has attributes that effect skills and other things, Skyrim just has health stamina and magicka
Morrowind has more lore
Morrowind has many more skills
Morrowind has classes
Morrowind allows you to do almost anything to almost everything, Skyrim makes many NPCs impossible to harm or cast spells on
Morrowind has two more armor types than Skyrim (unarmored and medium)
Morrowind has many more kinds of weapons
Morrowind has many more unique weapons
Skyrim has an unexplained and overpowered fast travel system, Morrowind has a network of giant ticks that you can ride to major cities and the ability to mark certain areas to teleport to (but only one at a time)

If you think that Skyrim is as much of an RPG as Morrowind, I'm convinced that you haven't played Morrowind for more than an hour.
