oblivion , morrowuind , skyrim ( the good , the bad , the ug

Post » Fri Jan 18, 2013 2:28 am

i have played all three - and im pretty proud of it

ive owned skyrim since december 2011 , so ive been on/off playing the game for a year

i got morrowind in the summer , i have dipped into it , i have been on/off playing it for 6 months

oblivion ? i think it was 2009 , i have been playing it on/off for abot 5/6 years

and ? i loved all three , morrowind for its A-MAZE-ING depth , skyrim for its EPIC graphics and combat , oblivion for its OLD SCHOOL questlines and DRY humour .

if i had to say which was my fav and which was my worst , i wouldnt say i couldnt choose , i would be blunt:

oblivion

skyrim

morrowind

oblivion :

The good:

epic questlines , supurb humour and depth , beautiful landscaped + great modding community

The bad : graphics are a little outdated , AI lacks depth , some landscape is not handmade

The ugly : no children , no marriage/romance , no beastil transmorations , vamparism underdone

skyrim :

The good: children at last! marriage , epic AI system , amazing graphics , many new amrours and items , aerial combat! epic magical overhall + deveoloping mod community

The bad : The magic overhall svcks - less spells , children are irratating god -things with nasal american tones , game was to nicey - nicey

The ugly : questlines were increadibly short , some were completly botch-jobbed , no real sense of acclompsihment , main questline as good as oblivions but the ending is inconclusive , blades are shown in bad light , game had less raw content than oblivion and morrowind

Morrowind : ( please note i have played little of this game , this is very much a WIP)

The good : epic amount of content , good expansion packs , thoroughly difficult!! intersting mix of cultures and geography

The bad : graphics are AWFUL , questlines are often very difficult and you need constant help , surviving is hard , "fatigue" system is something to be desired

The ugly : Very little voiced speech , questlines are to long and complicated , no fast travel ( trust me you get tired of running back and forth 10 times for one tiny quest (( usually i hate fast travelling!)) ) , almost NO AI whatsover , game feels dead and archaic , CLIFFRACERS.

post your reviews :smile:

edit : dammit! my apologies for the title :(

Well this isn't too bad a review for all three games, I agree with most points especially about those in Morrowind.

For me its
Oblivion
Good: It has some amazing quest lines amazing colorful landscapes, interesting towns with NPC who greet you (I dont remember when a NPC in skyrim just says hi when i walk past). Pretty much a amazing game.
Bad: Mainquest was just a big fetch quest.
Ugly: Oblivion Gates where a pain in my bum.

Morrwind
Good: Really amazing landscapes with the towering telvanni mushrooms, intresting main questline
Bad: The combat was just bad bad bad bad
Ugly: The userbase, the fans of the game over hype and sell the game to the point where how people describe the game to me makes me want to play it, but when i do its just no there.

Skyrim
Good: Umm...
Bad: Magic, Questlines, Lifeless NPCs who bark random local trivia or their life problems at me without even saying hello. Guard -.-
Ugly: Dragons
