Alright, if your primary characters from each of the elder scrolls games were to get matched up against one another in a free-for all fight, who would come out on top?

Also worth considering if the outcome would be different if it were in a straight up arena type setting, or if the combatants were left loose in a large dungeon or something to seek eachother out.



It's really hard for me to gauge who my 'primary' character is, considering I've had so many in each game (except Arena) but I'll go with my character from each of the games that got the most powerful Here's a run-down of them:

In Arena.. I only ever mad one character, an Argonian, and he never made it out of prison. The framerate hurt my eyes. (it's fair to say he's just fodder in this fight)

In Daggerfall I had an awesome Breton Battlemage. Pretty good with a sword, but because he had spell absorption, any spell he cast that had a radius near him he absorbed, so he could pretty much infinitely (and incredibly rapidly) cast awesome huge spells.

In Morrowind I have a level 60-something Altmer mage who wears the most enchantable pieces of armor in the game, and rocks some pretty awesome stats boosted by said armor, spells, and potions, and he wields Stendarr's hammer on special occasions.

My Oblivion character, another Breton, is pretty balanced really and is good with Magic and bows/stealth but is best with melee combat. He has some pretty inventive spells and boosts, and lots of good reflect damage/spell potions.



Anyway, I think in a straight up Arena match my Morrowind character would win out, due to some amazing defenses, the ability to reflect spells like mad (which would probably instakill my Daggerfall character) and dish out giant balls of ludicrous amounts of damage.

If there were more room for stealth however, my Oblivion character would probably win, if he were able to sneak up and kill my daggerfall and morrowind characters before they had time to let a spell fly or quaf any potions.

my morrowind character, just couse i've spent so much time on him.

A max-level spearman/mage with 100 in every skill (after I maxed my level, I just robbed the [censored] out of... Everywhere... and pawned it off to the Mudcrab merchant and Creeper. Money was mostly spent training, although I still have enough gold) then my attributes got rediculously high with the soul-trap glitch. so now I'm unstopable (it got kind aboring and now I hardley play morrowind. There is no fear in killing everything in one hit and being anble to do... anything.)

Never played Arena nor Daggerfall, so no characters from those.

But my main Morrowind character was a Redguard who took delight in killing things and had a unique fondness for wearing as little armor as possible while still maintaining high armor ratings. In short, he abused artifacts like hell. But, he was still an extremely strong character that could take on much anything he could reach.

My main Oblivion character was a Nordic Sorcerer who, ultimately, ended up being an extremely powerful entity as he used Thu'um to enhance not only his abilities as a sorcerer, but also his abilities as a warrior.

In all, I would have to say that my Oblivion character would win out as he would be able to attack from distance and stave off any blows that might come close to touching him. But if my Morrowind character was able to somehow cut off Harig's (my Oblivion character) ability to cast spells, and for that matter his ability to speak, then they'd be pretty much on equal footing and it wouldn't be clear which would win.

Ah yeah, I was only thinking of my 'legit' characters. If I allowed my soultrap-glitch character into the fights it would be a no-brainer. I deleted my soultrap glitch character though, it just wasn't any fun after a few minutes.

I also had an Oblivion character who took advantage of a glitch where you could get an enchanted item's effect stuck on you forever, and ended up with a more or less invincible character with stats through the roof. Although I think he could survive an assault from any of my other game's characters, I'm not sure he could win. I mean, he could cast some awesome spells and such but all my characters tend to have some fair magic defense.

Two of my Daggerfall characters were obviously at the most potent levels (One was without using any of the exploits such as no disadvantage soulgem enchanting, using weaknesses to things you're immune to for bonus on levelling). Either way, they had the most hit points, the best weapons, and the best items. One of my Morrowind characters would be sitting at the third position.

Arena and Daggerfall don't really count for much, you could only reach so much power in the end. With Morrowind versus Oblivion, Morrowind had levitate whereas Oblivion did not, so a Morrowind character with a constant levitate enchantment shooting arrows down against an Oblivion character with maxed out defenses (reflect damage/absorb or reflect or resist magic, etc.) would be the best shot. Assuming the Morrowind character is properly enchanted, even with an Oblivion character's constantly regenerating Magicka, all you'd end up with is an eventual stalemate, unless the Oblviion character is in fully enchanted armor, and requires at least one of said pieces of armor (excluding the shield) to maintain its defenses. Then, once the arrows break all of the armor, it's pretty much over.

Silly things could of course involve tricking the Oblivion player into wielding Sunder or Keening, or placing a poison apple in the Morrowind character's inventory. Though, you know, that's just silly.

Overall, I would have to say my reincarnation of Shezarr as well as my prince of Madness would win, unless my politically masterful Daggerfall character challenged my Oblivion character to a battle of surviving corrupt, political bickering.

I haven't played Arena or Daggerfall, so I'll do my battle out of my 2 major Morrowind and 2 major Oblivion characters. Kutlass the Redguard and Broken-Scale representing Morrowind, Conrad Belmont and Rolf the Uber for Oblivion.

In an Arena setting, Broken-Scale wouldn't last long, and Conrad would soon follow. My money would be on Kutlass for the win. In a Dungeon setting, Broken-Scale would own everyone else.

Hard to say because the game engines is so different, I guess my Morrowind mage, Daggerfall had the benefit of cheap enchantments who gave you 100% spell reflection, absorb and resist at medium level but you could get that in Morrowind with the kings ring in tribunal so both would be immune against magic attacks, since my mage was heavy into potion abuse, she would drink an overpowered fortify strength potion and hit the other with an un-enchanted sword doing some thousand hp in damage.
Hard to say if my Daggerfall or Oblivion character was strongest, the Daggerfall one would be immune against magic but not poison. So the oblivion would will if he hit with a poison arrow with silence effect first. The Daggerfall if he managed to paralyze first.

Add another one to the "Never played Arena or Daggerfall" pile. Judging by the LP I found on YouTube, any Daggerfall character I could make would never get out of the tutorial dungeon anyway.

I'm left with a stealth/magic class Khajiit (Morrowind) versus another stealth/magic class Khajiit (Oblivion). That would probably end up with both of them saying screw it and going to get a drink at the nearest tavern.

Well, I had been roleplaying that my Morrowind character is the father of Gregreo, so if he had to face down every single one of my Oblivion characters, I imagine they'd also have to fight against Gregreo as he would not want his father to loose in this obviously unbalanced and unfair match.

It was a tough call between my level 50-something Dunmer badass, who was 100 in Spear, Long Blade, Heavy Armor, Block, and pretty high in some magical attributes too, and my level 40-something badass mage in Oblivion.

Though the mage would probably win, because high level mages are insanely powerful, I spent much more time with the Morrowind character and he'd be more experienced due to the level of experience and tougher fights. Not to mention I made a fully enchanted suit of Daedric that shields and reflects most damage. Oh yeah, and he also had to venture to the most dangerous places of the province to get that suit, not go to the closest cave with a bandit.

Completing that full set of Daedric was so epic.

My Morrowind mage could fly, and had enchanted objects that could fire off 100 15-damage fireballs as fast I can click the mouse.

My Oblivion mage could absorb or reflect 100% magic, and was much better at using weapons other than magic.

It's really a toss up.

My OB character, because I have put more effort into him.

To be fair, my dunmer assassin from Vvardenfell makes my dunmer assassin from Cyradil look like a Disney character. So, there's your answer.

i'll go by the end-game story line the way I see them.

Arena Character: Killed an evil battlemage. Saved the emperor. They went out and had a hamburger.

Daggerfall Character: Caused a Dragon Break most likely killing themselves in the process.

Morrowind Character: Steady diet of Scrap metal and diamonds helped the Nerevarine give out three death sentences to "gods". (4 if you count Sotha-Sil) While on winter vacation defeated the aspect of a daedric prince.

Oblivion Character: Played second banana to the real hero. Then played make-believe as Pelinal and Sheogorath. More than likely bat **** insane.

Order of Bad-assery IMO: Morrowind PC>Oblivion PC>Arena PC>Daggerfall PC

my character Crixus would kick the chit outta everybody!!! he was in the likeness of a god!

My Morrowind character because he isn't limited by a silly 80 point enchantment cap. Hurray for Helseth's Royal Signet Ring!

My Arena and Daggerfall characters never got too far. So, they would just die very fast. Even if they teamed up with my Oblivion character my Morrowind character would win in the end. He's max level and has 100 in everything. Not to mention the fact that he has a beard!
( here's looking at you Oblivion :stare: )

Daggerfall character would win. He can fight whilst riding a levitating horse.

a mage vs. a mage that gets stronger when hit by magic... I wonder...

He also states that the Oblivion mage is far more skilled in weapons than magic. Since Oblivion characters can't levitate, that doesn't help him much.

My Arena Redguard warrior is pretty weak considering he never advanced past level 3. (I'm having trouble reinstalling Arena on my new laptop.)

If I had to place bets on my characters on my Daggerfall Breton Spellsword, my Morrowind Nord Barbarian, and my Imperial Ranger from Oblivion, I'm somewhat divided between all three of them. I may have to go with the daggerfall character in the end.

Yes, I do prefer human races.
