So now that we experienced Skyrim what's your favorite Elder

I'm predicting modded (or patched) Skyrim. The world is wonderful. Mechanics need some work in my opinion.

Morrowind is still number one, Skyrim is definitely a turn for the better after Oblivion, but there's just a little too much handholding still present in the game, not to mention the lack of proper quest journal entries for all of the miscellaneous radient story quests is just pure laziness. Is it really necessary to have a giant red "STEAL" warning to know you shouldn't take things that don't belong to you? Things like that...the foul taint of Oblivion on an otherwise gem of a game.

It has to be Skyrim.

Though I never played most of TES games. I started with Oblivion and I loved it. Then I tried to get into Morrowind twice because everyone kept complaining that it was better than Oblivion. I think I explored a cave, killed a goblin and explored a town. That was it, I could never get into it.

It's kind of hard to make this decision as the games are all so different from each other. I love the hardcoe RPGness the older titles have going for them, but you cannot deny that the storytelling (and plot) has improved greatly since then.

1. Skyrim
2. Morrowind
3. Daggerfall
4. Oblivion
5. Arena

I don't feel this is really representative because I love them all, but if I had to rank them, this is how they would stack up as of now. :foodndrink:

Daggerfall, for the sheer scale of the landmass as well as the number and size of cities dwarfing even Skyrim map.
Because you know, size matters :wink:

I've voted Oblivion

I'm sure I had a go on Morrowind after i played Oblivion and just thought it was a bit lacklustre (do you start out on a boat or am i confusing it with a different game?) I thought Oblivion was great with some really interesting and mrmorable side quests - although the oblivion gates got a bit tedious i agree.

Anyway because of that i'm not sure why there is

A ) Hardly any love on these forums for Oblivion
B ) So much love for Morrowind

If it wasn't for the magic system in Skyrim it would probably rank higher for me but as it is I can't even play my favorite character archetype. It′s like Bethesda is telling me "You are going to play THIS way and NOT this way!" in an RPG choice is crucial.

So Morrowind is still my favorite, but Skyrim isn't a bad game and Oblivion is just slightly better than Skyrim as it out performs the game in the areas that make me like RPG's in the first place.

I'd have to say Morrowind, its a masterpiece. Dont know how many times ive replayed it and still its just as good as the first time. Even though I think Morrowind is the best, Skyrim came pretty damn close, but not enough. Oblivion was *beep* though, Skyrim is what Oblivion should've been imho.

Morrowind. If it had Skyrim's visuals and combat, nobody would even ask this question.

Was it necessary for Morrowind to have a big red hand icon over items that were going to count as stolen? It's pretty much the same thing, but a much clearer indication.

1. Morrowind
2. Daggerfall
3. Arena
4. Oblivion
5. Skyrim


This.

For me Skyrim far too much was cut from it, it has an awesome open world with far to few ways to interact with it. Still I like all the games, so we are looking at 8+ scores across the board.

I agree.


I've tried to play morrowind without mods to begin with, sorry but I can't handle it, and the graphics killed my joy ALOT.. Maybe I'm just a graphic maniac. But when I tried with mods, it became alot better graphic wise but I couldn't get into it. (Only tried it a few hours)
Oblivion had it ups and downs, but as it was my first real rpg game (I'm 21 only) and it brings back lots of memories.. mostly good ones. I do believe starting a short game in oblivion is possible, but morrowind not really, should have played it back at 2002/2003 when it first was out, since I am unable to really get started with it.
Ye I've had games with graphics that of arena and daggerfall and still play those, but I can't get myself to try either daggerfall or arena because of graphics.

Skyrim, some bugs and glitches but I'm able to forget about those as I've allready enjoyed around 80 hours of play time without really thinking so much about it.
So I went for Skyrim since I'm still waiting to get done with my exam stuff so I can get home to play again! =D

Daggerfall: havent played
Morrowind: Best exploration satishfaction

Have to go Morrowind, simply an amazing game throughout. Yes it has its bugs but at the same time, huge world, hand placed loot, such a great atmosphere.

Skyrim could have taken the crown, I was hoping it would. It is what Oblivion should have been in terms of game play and taking advantage of the consoles, but its still too dubbed down to be even close to Morrowind.

Skyrim. It takes everything I loved from Morrowind and Oblivion and improved everything I hated.

Skyrim. Oblivion was fun for a while, but I only got about 80 hours into it before I got bored and started a new character. In Skyrim, I'm already 110 hours in, and not bored at all yet :). I couldn't really get into Morrowind, but I'm sure that if I'd played it on PC and downloaded some mods I'd get into it a bit.

Fallout : New Vegas is my favorite Tess. I think I was just meant to play the one that comes after the first one where it is more fun so the next one.

Morrowind. I dislike Skyrim's lack of depth and uniqueness, shallow plot and characters, overly simplified mechanics, lack of meaningful choices and rpg content.
