Morrowind

I think the problem with me for Skyrim was that there weren't any really memorable quests for me other than the DLC. Oblivion may have frustrated me to hell and back, and I may have only managed to make it all the way through the whole thing once but man, I remember it. I remember the Arena fan. I remember Lucien Lachance. I remember sneaking in and spying on that rival mercenary band for the Fighter's Guild. I remember the Mage's Guild quest where the guy you're supposed to get a letter from murdered another guy and you have to learn the spell of underwater breathing or recover the ring off his corpse. I remember being really upset by both Uriel Septim and Martin's deaths. The Dark Brotherhood quest where you're locked in a house and convince everyone to kill each other.

Man, Oblivion was weird and it was rad. The graphics weren't the best, but it never felt like generic fantasy. There was always just a little tweak here and there to keep it feeling unique. Obviously, it was probably a let down after the strangeness that was Morrowind.

I really liked the design elements of Skyrim, the visuals, the dungeons, and the worldbuilding in terms of locations. The writing was pretty stale. I thought they did pull a few clever tricks, such as the racism with the Stormcloaks and their leader's connection to the Thalmor. I just don't love it. I love modding it. It was fun, there just wasn't much to keep me coming back to it and I was hard pressed to finish it. It's probably the first game where I didn't even try to find all the guilds, much less conquer them.

I mean, Morrowind is probably the best. I haven't played it, but everything I hear makes it sound fantastic despite it's age. It's on my "must play list" for when I have the patience. It does sound like it has the most personal of the quest plotlines.

And ESO's writing, for me, is among the best in the franchise. Stopping and listening to the dialogue, even the written bits, can be remarkably entertaining. The world is so alive, even though it doesn't move much and I appreciate it. The quests are surprisingly memorable and there's a great deal of humanity to so many of the characters. Some quests, I just find myself stopping and listening to the dialogue again just because.

I don't know about Daggerfall or Redguard.

Skyrim?

gonna have to agree.. but if skyrim comes to the xbox one then that would be awesome and i would most definately be playing

Skyrim (360) is on the list of games that will become playable when the Xbox one becomes backward compatible in a few months.

Also if you preorder Fallout 4, you can get a free copy of Fallout 3.

Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowing, Tribunal, Game of the Year -- all are far superior to Skyrim (and I would argue even Oblivion too) for countless reasons.

Your game sucks.


That is Skyrim in a nutshell.

Modding Skyrim = Zen = the journey is the reward :-)

Skyrim was too easy.

It was super pretty, the story was okay, and the gameplay was really fun, but it was too damn easy, and the character progression didn't require any thought.

I preferred Oblivion and Morrowind.
