But I love eso on the xbox one

k

Skyrim is too unplayable off of PC. Made me sell it and my PS3 since I got the PS3 solely for Skyrim anyway. I stuck with it as long as I did simply because I liked the game despite its many bugs and freezes.

@Truewan I haven't heard of that Mod, will give it a go!

Elder Scrolls games weren't meant to be easy anyway! If anyone played The Elder Scrolls 1: ARENA you will remember how horrendously difficult it was to get out that first dungeon!

Got to love a challenge!

Someone's been getting into the skooma again. Morrowind was the most awesome tes game. Variety of ranged weapons, crazy spell and enchantment combos and customisation, levitation man. What could be better than swooping down and harassing cliff racers. Punch em in the face. It had loads more weapon skills, spears anyone?

The lands you explored were more mystical looking. There was a sense of fantasy with everywhere you go. The lore was very immersive to me, the lack of fast travel and quest markers made you remember the terrain and world itself in a way that most games fail to these days. While you have to go on foot most places you explore and discover so much more. (I missed quite a few locations in oblivion by fast traveling between towns and not running there)

the random stuff like breaching the great house vaults in vivec, the first time you run into an ash vampire and let's not forget that dwemer constructs were nasty to fight at low levels.i had more drive to loot towns bare in morrowind than any subsequent entries.morrowind got about 10 or so playthroughs at roughly 80 or more hours.

Skyrim got 2 plays and a total of about 50 hours between them. To me Skyrim was oversimplified, at no point did I feel powerful, (I'd spend my entire magicka bar twice on the highest destruction spells on a single draugr and its survive it)
The menus were a crime against decency, I found the Vikings and dragons setting wasn't very compelling. I found that with quest markers and fast travel I was less compelled to pay attention to quest givers and just followed the objectives. Dragon fights got old quickly, the weapons had little variation and having to choose between levels my health and magicka rather than them being based on my stats didn't agree with me.

Tl,dr
Morrowind>skyrim

Lmao. Yes. Gotta punch them right in the face.

Every TES games is a thumbdown version of the previous.

I liked all TES games, except the spin-off Battlespire. redguard was cool though.

Of course i don't count Arena. I don't know where to place it, since i was to young to understand.

Hence i remember Daggerfall better. For that time the game was awesome. Dispite the bugs and crashes i had fun. Although every town looke the same to me it felt huge. I played around 200 hours.

Morrowind came. No horse-riding, no vertical building climbing and no werewolves (at start). Also V1.0 crashed much. Still, i fell in love with the game. The lore, music, spells it was wonderfull. No fast travel, except the mages guild (and later the pluging propylon index) made me explore every part of the game. On one character vanilla Morrowind i played for a long time. Believe it or not but my save game had a play time of 1200+ hours on that character. Later it was more due to the expansions.

Oblivion. THUMBED DOWN. Water exploration was gone. NOTHING THERE. No spear, no crossbows, no medium armor, no fireball spell i could put in my pants, could wear either clothes or armor and not on top of eachother, no levitation spells, no scrolls of icarus flight, no open towns like Skingrad, you had a loading screen, important characters could not die,
Still had 600 hours on my main toon. Although i put the game aside after 1 day, the game was still fun. The thieves guild had a good story line and so did the other guilds.

Skyrim. Although a great game, the game felt less TES. No waterwalking spell, no waterbreathing, no jumping skill. only 3 stats you could put points in (health, stamina, magicka) instead of strength, wisdom, endurance, intelligence, speed, personality, luck etc. Yes there where now perks which was fun. Sadly the guild quests where located in one town. you where the instant hero and the stories where lame.
The main story was good i think and so where to imperial and stormcloak battle. But after 120 hours i seen every part of the game and did every quest. The game looked great and played great and had great atmosphere. But i was less satisfied.

for me Morrowind was the best

OP confirmed too young to have played Morrowind.

Skyrim was a game invented for the current younger generation of gamers, they don't understand the grind, the don't understand the novelty of having to walk across the entire map for a quest, they don't appreciate really unique ways of building your character etc.

Good game? Hell yeah,

Good tes? Not really.


I loved morrowind so much, I loved killing guards and being evil, daedra looked bloody menacing, I loved (and raged!) at having a quest where an npc joins you, spending the entire battle trying to make sure they don't die, otherwise the quest is over.

Kill the leader of a guild? No more quests, kill everyone in a town? That town is now deserted and useless etc.

Every choice had a major consequence, you had to be smart and really really think about each choice you made.

Just loading up and making your character, being on that slave ship, was so immersing.

Agree. I swear it was WoW that sparked this lazy revolution. Ever since they got rid of summoning stones etc and allowed for everyone to just teleport everywhere. Since then players and developers alike seem to think it is the norm. People cant be bothered to play the game they apparently enjoy.

Haha it's also not an mmo
