morrowind ---->skip------> on to skyrim : V

» Tue Sep 20, 2011 2:45 am

I really didnt get into oblivion well because of the leveling system just really bored me to just turn off the game and play something else, i just couldnt play casually without gimping my character...anyways.

Is skyrim its own game? Or is it continuing where oblivion left off at? If not then ill just wiki oblivion story line for a feel of the game.

Skip it.

You don't have to play Oblivion to understand what is going on in Skyrim

» Tue Sep 20, 2011 7:36 am

Yeah you should just skip it

» Tue Sep 20, 2011 2:17 am

It's a great game, and you should at some point play it (especially with mods where you can fix the leveling system), but you don't have to play it before Skyrim. The plots aren't related or anything.

You should feel ashamed for making this guy pay less to bethesda :hubbahubba:

I would recommend playing Oblivion, but not because you need it for storyline, just because I think it's an amazing game

But if you've already tried Oblivion, and it wasn't for you, then no, you don't need to play Oblivion to play Skyrim. The connection is really really loose. It's not a direct sequel or a continuation of the story. Skyrim in a way does pick up from where Oblivion left off, but not in a way that you need to have played Oblivion to get it.

I'm gonna play it but you don't need to play it if you don't want too

» Tue Sep 20, 2011 6:41 am

Yeah i'm the same way, I played Oblivion for a total of maybe 5 or 6 hours, the leveling system and the pinata combat kinda bored me. loved morrowind, cant wait for skyrim

Consider skyrim as the fourth elderscrolls and oblivion like a bad prologue

Bethesda should feel ashamed for making Oblivion.

I suggest playing it, Oblivion controls will be similar to skyrim so it will be a good intermediate to start getting used to skyrim.

Also, it is actually pretty fun to play once you get in to it.

Geez people, Oblivion was a great game! "Bethesda should be ashamed of making it"? That's crazy!

» Tue Sep 20, 2011 4:05 am

Bethesda should feel ashamed for making Oblivion.

This i agree

» Tue Sep 20, 2011 3:15 pm

Do you "have" to play it? No, you really don't "have" to play any of them if you don't want to. If you didn't want to play Skyrim, no-one's forcing you to play that either.

But, you aren't missing a ton in Oblivion... I'd say if you have time, play it, just for the storyline. If you don't have time, or don't feel like playing Oblivion, maybe read up a little on the Wiki just for your own edification.

I play Hello Kitty Island Adventure!
Rly though, I never played ANY of the previous games.. But I've been watching so many Lets Plays.. And read the hell out of the wiki, so I feel like I have been here all along :vaultboy:

Oblivion is the greatest game I've ever played. Also, the only game that I haven't fully beat yet has kept me playing for 5 years on and off. My only complaint was the level-scaling.

» Tue Sep 20, 2011 12:13 am

I'd skip it, but you shouldn't ask this. It's up to you if you want to load your brains with another experience of this size and so late.

No they shouldn't. Niche internet forums full of complainers =/= what really happened.

No, he shouldn't, your just being a Morrowind elitist, Oblivion was a great game, and if you can't see that, your blind.
