oh ya. I will definitely miss it. That game was my friend! haha but I am sure that when I play skyrim, I will go back to oblivion and wonder how I ever enjoyed it. :laugh:

No, I'm going to miss the magical feel of Morrowind. (I've been playing that alot lately) It's something that you won't understand until you play it. Seriously, play Morrowind. You'll find it more enjoyable than oblivion, and probably prefer Morrowind.

"Good job! you hit the bucket with your arrow! Now go up to it and press space to pick it up"
"Good job! You picked up an arrow!"
"Good job! You found the key on a dead goblin!"
"Good job! You opened the door!"
I think you get the idea now.

Also, I don't think any game will be able to be better than Morrowind. Sorry, but it was just an awesome game (my favorite.) If it had modern graphics, and you had MCP and all the unofficial patches, I'd say it would be a perfect game.

Definitely not.

Oblivion is my least favourite of all the TES games. Redguard included.



Skyrim appears to have a unique feel all of it's own, one that I welcome. Sort of a blend of my favourite two in the series:
Daggerfall (#1), and Morrowind (#2); but with enough unique features to make it something new.

Over half of this thread is bashing Oblivion (5 years... 5 flipping years since Oblivion's release; please shut up, already). A bit less than one sixth of this thread is agreeing in missing the atmosphere and feel of Oblivion. One third of this thread is stating they want the new game to have its own feeling. Some people take inspiration from more than one group. I'm going to state that I love Oblivion's atmosphere but will play Oblivion to get it. I hope Skyrim has its own atmosphere, but I do want the feeling of the game to be familiar in the sense that I want this new, exciting atmosphere which draws me in. Changing the atmosphere allows me to experience that feeling of being new... and that is the feeling which I loved when coming into the series through Oblivion. Skyrim will definitely have its own separate atmosphere and I am excited by it, so I'm happy.

I don't see Oblivion standing out to any of the games in the future. The overworld was boring and incredibly repetitive, the monsters are generally from this universe, the only city that felt inspiring was the imperial city, and the plains of Oblivion strangely became quickly mundane. I honestly think that Skyrim will be everything Oblivion is and improve just about every aspect. Hell, even the infamous Mannimarco turned out to be a letdown.

I'm pretty sure that's what a "personal opinion" is. Our personal opinion is that Oblivion had 0 atmosphere and was a cheap knock off of Morrowind.
You're telling us to stop talking about our personal opinions? Cool story.

No. Stop throwing out your personal opinions as facts. The first thing that happens when someone wants to miss Oblivion is a swarm of Oblivion-haters pour in claiming Oblivion had no atmosphere and giving it nicknames as "blandoblivion"... yet it's perfectly fine for the many threads revolving around creating Morrowind 2 to exist.

I will miss Oblivion...after a year or two of playing Skyrim.

I love oblivion (Way too many hours on it) however I am really excited about Skyrim and feel it is going to be absouloutely amazing after all the things I have seen and read about the game. As for missing the 'feel' of oblivion I still have the game so if I ever miss it too bad I can revisit it whenever I choose. Same as what I have done on a couple of occasions with Morrowind after Oblivion came out.

Um, what? When did I state my personal opinions as facts? Are you even making sense to yourself?
I even STATED it was my personal opinion in my FIRST and ONLY POST in this thread. My personal opinion is that Oblivion had as much atmosphere as my bathroom interior.
How's that flaunting my personal opinion as fact?

You stated it was your opinion, huh?

Then there were all these (they can't all fit in one post, so it's divided). They sure made it clear that these were only their thoughts, eh? :rolleyes::

Pretty sure I don't give a damn how others have massively butthurt you in the past with their comments on Oblivion lol.
I stated my opinion on it. You commented on it. Pretty cut and dry.

He was proving that none of those posts stated that it was there opinion. They said it like its a fact and anyone who opposes it is a moron. Yes, I know they didn't say that, but when someone says they enjoy oblivion more than morrowind or any of the other games, they get bashed for no reason for just stating their opinion. Its kind of irritating.

I prefer oblivion to morrowind. I cant wait for someone to reply to this and tell me that my opinion is wrong and morrowind is better in every way.

I never bashed anyone. I never stated my opinion as fact. Like I said; what's your point? Why are people quoting me instead of the people who did state it as fact, call people morons, etc?
FFS.
The way I see, Seti18 is the one telling me to shut up about my "personal opinion". Be a hypocrite less, please. I didn't call you out on anything.

OP:

I kind of agree, but I believe Bethesda will still find a way to immerse us. I loved the green, idyllic forests of Cyrodill. One thing that has me concerned after seeing some gameplay and part of the musical score, is that we won't get that peaceful, magical feeling when we explore. I love the new main theme music, but if the whole score is composed of baritone nordic choirs, and the game takes a darker tone, I just don't think I will enjoy exploring as much.

That is part of the reason I could never get into the FO games like I can ES games. The wasteland is just too depressing to really care about exploring. Everywhere you go, it is just more bombed out buildings and barren wastelands. I just hope they keep some hints of Oblvion's serene wilderness in there...

I won't miss Oblivion because what it did good will surely be implemented in Skyrim as well, and what it did wrong, well, there's nothing to miss. For me the "feel" of Oblivion was not very distinct, I had very contradictory feelings about that game.

"because Oblivion was a watered down Morrowind to the max"

That sounds like your flaunting it around as fact to me :rolleyes:

You uh kind of missed the point where I stated the exact words "personal opinion" in every consecutive post I've made in this thread after that. I really can't make it much more clear. Your reading comprehension skills (or the lack thereof) aren't my problems.
I've even edited my original post to make it more "comprehendible" for you.

Nah, I'll play Skyrim with the other games out of mind. The best way to enjoy a game is to just play it for what it is, instead of wondering why thing a isn't like thing b from a past game.

If I had to compare the games and choose which one I liked better I'd say that I really liked Oblivion, much more than Morrowind. Can't really see how people think Morrowind had more of a feel than Obivion, when many npcs in Morrowind didn't even bother to visit their own homes. Might as well put the exclamation points over their head to get it over with. That said, it's just my opinion. Oblivion went for a different feel than Morrowind, so why would you compare them in the first place? They are two different games, made many years apart from one another, which can both stand alone. You don't need to play Morrowind to understand Oblivion, and you probably won't have to know what happened in Oblivion to play Skyrim. The games' shouldn't be compared in the first place, if you ask me.

No way! It's just an opinion. We don't need to type "in my opinion" in every sentence. It's understood that everyone speaks for himself, unless they use expressions like "everybody knows", "let's admit it", "people need to realize that..." and so on.

Its not that I can't read, its just when you don't say "In my opinion" or "To me,..." it sounds a lot like supposed "fact" to me. I learned that "opinion" means an individuals thoughts on something, and when you don't make that clear, its to be assumed your speaking of fact.

Be more clear next time if thats what you meant.

Edit: I'm done being off topic. If your going to share your opinion, make sure people know its an opinion. Morrowind lovers and Oblivion bashers are too common and they usually state things as fact.

Read below:


Pretty much this. This isn't Elementary School people. I speak for myself, no one else. Stop complaining.

Sorry, one more thing..

Its called be specific, a little thing you were supposed to learn in elementary school.

I won't miss the feel of morrowind,because i can still play that.
I won't miss the feel of oblivion,because i can play that too.
I'm looking forward to the feel of skyrim

I started with morrowind,so can't say about the previous games.
But i think they'll be bits and bats taken from past games.....but more importantly skyrim will have it's own feel aswell.
I love the more rustic/brutal direction skyrim is going in,it's how a land like that should be.
We know lots about skyrim already,but not everything....there is even better things to come yet.
If i'm honest ( from a console players view ) that trailer still shocks me. :thumbsup:
