Is the worst Elder Scrolls in the series? ..

Heres why i think it is. It's super boring. The quests are all simple rewards are useless. Main Quest is short and easy .. *and boring* Super Duper Boring.
Less content as in weapons and armor. Copy pasted ruins and caves. I swear !!! My eyes sometimes get dizzy of seeing the same dam pattern of textures.
Face textures are the worst. Morrowind has better faces yet the game is super old since 2002. I mean .. even the dam magic system and combat system. The Add-ons. Horse Armor? .. Spell tomes? .. omfg wtf. That!!! Should have been added to game in the first place!!! Shivering Isles has also the worst story ever. Blood moon from Morrowind with Hircine was more interesting. Knights of the nine. OMG don't even get me started. Fast Travel .. Level Scaling. No Unique bandits like in Morrowind ..

Please i would like to know what you think. Am i wrong? ...

*grabs popcorn*

Indeed.

OP, I'm afraid you won't find many people around here who think Oblivion is "boring". The game is what you make of it- just take a look in our "character updates" thread to see how many different styles of play we have around here.

There's a lot of roleplayers around here. We do certain quests because they are interesting and help develop bonds with our characters, not because of any "reward" we might get afterwards. Example- I'm doing the Dark Brotherhood questline with my character, not because I want the rewards, but because I roleplay that my character wants to kill someone and needs the DB to teach her how best to do it. Puts a fresh perspective on the questline, does it not?

Could you explain why you don't like Knights of the Nine? Personally it's one of my favourite questlines. I like the pilgrimage you have to make- it proves your dedication to the Nine- an interesting roleplay aspect- and you get to travel around the beautiful land of Cyrodiil whilst doing it.

Sure, there's fast travel, but where's the rule in the game saying you MUST use it?

LMAO let me get some lol

Who else thinks Morrowind hipsters should stop complaining about Oblivion and replay their 10 year old favorite game for the hundred time?

lol .. No. Who else thinks those who like Oblivion should just admit the truth. Oblivion is the worst of all !! Boring !!

Who else thinks I should close this topic? If you want to compare games then you can do so in the http://www.gamesas.com/forum/26-the-elder-scrolls-series-discussion/, in fact there probably is already a topic doing so and one that is a lot more constructive than the OP's remarks.

Yeah .. close it.

ye cuz no KILLCAMS

While I disagree with most of what you said, I have a massive problem with this line. Knights of the Nine was a great quest chain, as were the Songs Of Pelinal that came with the DLC. What's your problem with the quest chain?

"super boring"? "super duper boring"? What are you six? I agree the game has issues, but you've managed to skip just about all of them with your "super boring" little rant there. How about you wait until you come up with an actual opinion rather than flamebait?

Good troll 8/10

I particularly enjoyed how you pulled out the "Morrowind did it all better" line, very cliche but does the job every time. However your use of "super duper" etc makes you look about 13 years old and i would guess you probably only like MW due to the constant rants on this forum about how it's the best game ever and only for "hardcoe" gamers.

Yeah, I'd definitely ask on the General Discussion. The Oblivion forum is full of people who play Oblivion, and they're not likely to do so if they don't enjoy it.

I, for one, love Oblivion. I started playing earlier this year and would call it one of my favorite games I've ever played. That said, I haven't played Morrowind, so I can't compare the two.

There's that word again. I don't think you know what it means.
But yeah this thread is redundant and should be closed.

Agreed on closing the thread. I personally loved Oblivion as i loved Morrowind or Redguard or any other game. The lore and the role-playing that TES and FO give me is just amazing and super fun. Just have fun.

The popcorn was good, though.

I agree. Popcorn is the most constructive thing here. It makes for the perfect accompaniment to tired old tirades.

Since this is the Oblivion forum, I sort of prefer topics that celebrate the beauty, wonder and depth of this amazing game. There are many other games out there and I don't criticize them, but this one is mine.

I’ve caught my son and his friends posting such topics as part of a contest between them, but not since they all turned 13.

I have to agree that comparison threads should be moved or closed. I’m also in favor of more specific thread titles.

If Oblivion is "boring", I gotta say it's been a pleasure being "bored" these last 3 and a half years.

ohohoho~ you are aware this is the Oblivion section of the forums... only people who check these forums either want to ask about getting Oblivion or are confirmed lovers of the game! This forum should be renamed 'Oblivion appreication section' because I think everyone has moved beyond compaining about this games flaws by now. The positives outweight the negatives for us. For me a lot of the 'negatives' are actually positives 'ugly characters' for example, I think it adds to the charm of the game.

Hmm... I still play Morrowind because I like it. I still play Oblivion because I like it. I still play Fallout 3 because I like it. I don't play Pirates of the Caribbean because it is buggy and I don't like it. I don't go on forums and bash it because I don't like it . If you don't like Oblivion then don't play it. You have a right to express your opinion but at least do it without the cliches that have been discussed by everyone until they are blue in the face.

Why don't you be like the bridge troll in Oblivion and go soak your head because apparently not many are too interested in your tired old flamebait.

Oblivion is brilliant, one of the best games I have ever played, the graphics may be outdated and the engine faulty but the story line is very gripping and not to mention it has one of the best background music ever

Yea, I'll take some that popcorn, too. Enjoying the show so far, Wyrd?


Exactly.

I tried Drakengard or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drakengard_2 long ago for about an hour, I thought it was the worst POS game ever. Lame, washed out backgrounds, the combat was also vague. Who cares if there's dragons in it eventually, what I saw was poorly-done, and I had no incentive to force myself to continue deeper into the game. No wonder it was in the bargain bin at my local GameStop.

I took it back to the store. But one thing I did not bother to do is seek out Drakengard forums to try to find other folks who agree with me. I got better things to do with my time.

Same goes with Dragon Age 2. Bought it. Put the disc in the slot. It just didn't interest me. This time, I did not take it back to the store; I still have it, just in case I want to give it another try.

The OP might be happy to know (sarcasm) that I immediately put DA: 2 back in its case after ditching it from my PS3, and sought out my copy of TES IV, ASAP.



You know...I think that when gamers show up in a game's official forums, and then start putting down the game featured by that game's official forums, that they're really just sad folk. They're sad folk who are desperate to find like-minded gamers, because they have nothing better to do, I guess. In some cases, they think they're more charismatic than they are (Dutch Flamer), and they seem to actually think they can convince others to switch from loving a particular game to hating it. Their arrogance is so profound, they can't see anybody else's opinion but their own.

I can't wait to try Morrowind. Just to be able to say I still like Oblivion after doing so.

Even though i don't play Oblivion so much anymore it'll always have a special place, and i like to play a bit now and then. The world is beautiful.
