Where's ESO? I personally found the others a bit meh if I'm honest.

ESO. The only other game I've played in the series was Skyrim. I spent a lot of time there, but not as much as I've spent in more linear single-player RPGs like DA:O, Mass Effects 1&2, or the two KOTORs.

Copying and adding on comment from other thread here:

Of those mentioned here, Oblivion, even though I loved Morrowind to bits when it came out ... but I loved Imperial City and its inhabitants in Oblivion even more. Especially the captains of the guard ^^.
But I also loved the (non-mobile) ES games not mentioned here - Arena, Daggerfall, Battlespire and Redguard. Out of those, Daggerfall was my favorite (horse and cart, buying ships and houses, lots of fashion), although a) Arena and b) Battlespire will have a special place in my heart because of a) the passwall spell and b) Imago Storm.

The game that started it all for me

Also where I created my Svanhilde, and she’s been with me in every game since, even beta, and she was my first character after waiting in log in queue on launch day. Nord Stam DK, and will never change her.

TES 2: Daggerfall. Still the best. In some cases even through the graphics are from the stone-age, some places look nicer to me in an atmospheric sense. When you get to the palace in Sentinel, for example, it's huge and the surroundings give me a sense of its size and greatness. I have to actually walk there. Looking at the palace in Sentinel, it's a bit like a doll house. However, to me it's mostly superior in terms of gameplay and story. Daggerfall got the best dungeons by far. The biggest problem is the interface, though. Daggerfall with a new interface? Wow.

When Morrowind got there, I didn't like that many features from Daggerfall got lost (like mounts, day/night cycle for npc and so on), but the mods made up for many things. I didn't like the main story in Morrowind, it felt very repetitive and I was so bored in my second or third playthrough. The complexity of the dungeons was a joke compared to Daggerfall and in general there were too many loading screens.

Oblivion was great, but felt like a theme park. Too many loading screens in the Imperial City. Dungeon complexity complete joke, although I learned later that they seemed to have only one guy designing the dungeons? That would explain a lot.

Skyrim is the best of the games with more modern graphics. I honestly like the less complicated skills system, because it was easy to power game the old system. In Morrowind gold meant character advancement through training and you could get really strong with some meta knowledge (=in your second playthrough). Skyrim did a lot better job in terms of "play as you want" than any other ESO game I have played, even more so than Daggerfall. The story is great, the atmosphere is one of the best, it is super immersive... I guess if Daggerfall wouldn't get a nostalgia bonus for me, Skyrim would be the best ES game by far from me.

From the games I've played in the last 20 years, Skyrim is definitely in the top 3 together with Terraria and Saints Row 3.

Morrowind because this was the first TES game I have played. Then I tried Daggerfall. And then... I tried Oblivion. And so far If you think about it, TES 4 Oblivion is probably the most Ambitious game that Bethesda made. Oh and btw. Situations like that in Oblivion... Priceless (Hold on to something and try not to die out of laughter) :

I have to say Skyrim because I’ve only played Skyrim and ESO. I started Oblivion but the clay faces and dramatic zoom ins from five feet away always make me laugh and I can’t take it seriously.

Daggerfall. But Morrowind ties as I had such great adventures there, looked great when it came out, and has the best atmosphere of any TES game imho.

I have to vote Skyrim because it’s the only one I’ve played to completion. I got my toon to level 66 just playing the thing to death.

I had a wonky 3D port going on that was pretty freaky lol.

I really enjoyed it but I can’t compare it to the others due to lack of experience.

I played a modded version of Morrowind after Skyrim with graphics reskin. I was really enjoying it but it fell apart and I just couldn’t face going back to the beginning- so no Morrowind for me

ESO or Skyrim.

Morrowind by a mile. The modding community, of which I was a part at the time, was also innovative and inspirational. Great times.

Eso

Morrowind master race!

Sorry kids, but Oblivion and Skyrim are just garbage.
