Morrowind was the best in my Opinion. Skyrim is the most Flexible. Oblivion had a good Story line
Morrowind is primitive, Skyrim has a few Game play issues, Oblivion was completely copy and pasted.


I like them all
#1- Morrowind
#2- Skyrim
#3- Oblivion

I want to try Daggerfall but I'm thinking that's my limit on graphics svcking (on an RPG)

I can understand not liking Oblivion... but Morrowind? eh...


As far as pure role playing where your choices have effects on the plot states, Daggerfall makes them all pale in comparison, even if combined. If you can handle old graphics, the game is huge, it is like 1000 times bigger than Oblivion is area. I loved Morrowind better for role playing, spell-crafting etc than Oblivion, but I loved Oblivion's world much better and modding that game was fun. Skyrim, while better looking and also better with the story than Oblivion (Oblivion was weak and not detailed), IMO, it isn't as beautiful overall as Oblivion, but they are two different environments. Overall looks are better in Skyrim from any distance, especially the mountains, the mountains in Oblvion from a distance looked awful. Skyrim has more lo-res textures, easily noticed in the small items, like plants, etc.

#1. Daggerfall
#2. Morrowind (tie)
#2. Skyrim (tie)
#4. Oblivion.

Started with Morrowind in early 2003, absolutely loved it. Played right up until the release of Oblivion (and after).. which i liked, but not as much as Morrowind.

I am currently enjoying Skyrim very much indeed.

Sadly, i missed out on Daggerfall as this was before my time in terms of gaming. I didn't even play games at the time it was released. However, i have played it since and despite not finishing it i fully enjoyed my experience with it.. but cannot rate it as i never even explored close to half of its content.

For me its...

Morrowind
Skyrim
Oblivion

I enjoyed Oblivion, except the main quest, that was horrible.
Morrowind was horrible all along, especially the dull environment and the dice-roll combat (what a joke).

Skyrim is much better than both together.

Thats why i stopped playing morrowind. I liked the bloodmoon dlc tough.

And another issue is that when im just exploring, enemies are way to tough to beat.

In Skyrim i'dont have that issue, and stupid skills are trown out like. Atlethics and acrobat.

So all in all people like Skyrim more because it's easier.

..Lol.

Anyway, I luckily didn't have Oblivion ruined for me because I got it and Morrowind around the same time, but I still agree that Morrowind was a LOT better.

1. Morrowind.
2. Skyrim.
3. Oblivion.

Lol, so i guess you're one of those who got lost for hours. I got lost many times In Morrowind and i found myself tracking a different adventure which led me to another adventure in strange lands in which I found myself entangled in their politics, lore and hatred. Never got bored. Nothing beats a journal with a dozen incomplete quest not because you were lost but because you decided to wander. Besides, didn't Tolkien say, "Not all who wander are lost." A map telling me where is the item is for tourists.


I like your attitude and agree completely.

Please tell me you're joking, right?

Anyway - I absolutely loved Morrowind, didn't like Oblivion much and so far I'm enjoying Skyrim.
I'm not sure what it is, it feels a lot like Oblivion and it certainly isn't Morrowind 2 but for some reason I find Skyrim thoroughly enjoyable.

I don't understand why everyone has a problem with the combat in Morrowind, sure it was visually awkward but that was because it was determined by your skills. The way combat should be in an RPG.

Never played sorrowind. did not like oblivion because of the stupid scaling and leveling system. Besides, It was not realistic, for example during a quest for kvatch I killed many guards using fire magic(45 dmg per touch) and so after that I could go and speak to people as if I had never killed their guards.

ALSO, from there to imperial city and guess who tried to get me killed? the imperial city guards. HOW do they even know?

Because Arena and Daggerfall was also based on stats, but had different attack types that would alter the percentage to hit and damage. It was much more interesting than just spamming the attack button and hoping for a hit. Out of all the ES games, Morrowind had the worst combat system.

loved acrobatics, missed it for about two minutes.
skyrim is a dif game, hard to worry when surrounded by so much awesome.

also morrowinds combat was awesome, if you roled a character who svcked at fighting then your character svcked at fighting. role a pure warrior and youll be kicking ass right out the gate.

im sorry for the op, i feel like if you like skyrim than you should at least get why morrowind and oblivion are awesome games.
unless your draw to skyrim has nothing to do with it having a massive open world for you to role play in.
ide suggest you at least give morrowind another try. or not, whatever.

Who thinks that to?

For me Morrowind the combat ruined it, and for Oblivion the combat and stupid main quest.

This is my opinion :toughninja:

I'm not a fan of the previous TES games, but I have to admit, Skyrim is pretty good.

I started with Morrowind when it was released in 2002. Then I went back and played Daggerfall and Arena. Bought Oblivion the day of release. Skyrim is definitely better than Oblivion; I can't think of a single thing I like more in Oblivion over Skyrim. Skyrim is also VERY close, if not tied with Morrowind. Morrowind didn't just have a great culture and diverse environments, it was creepy as hell. It had atmosphere. Getting lost in an ash storm, or just wandering around the Molag Maar (sp?) region was quite an experience. Oblivion, even modded, is much more "disney" than Morrowind. Skyrim, especially in the frozen hills in the north, brings back a lot of memories from Morrowind. And especially Bloodmoon, which is one of the greatest expansions ever made.

As far as writing goes, I think Morrowind still wins. Skyrim is a HUGE improvement over Oblivion, but having everything voice acted still rules out a lot of dialogue opportunities.

Still though....77 hours into Skyrim and it is phenomenal, without mods.

That's a very good point about the writing part.
