10 Reasons Skyrim Will Be the Best Elder Scrolls Game

I totally think Skyrim will be even better then Oblvion and Fallout. I didn't know there can be a favorites list for your weapons and stuff that's a really good idea.

I find the comments people put at the bottom of the article more entertaining than the article itself.
There must be something wrong with me.

Sounds like story-driven games are more your thing than open-world RPGs...


Well, there are stories, and there there are stories, right?
Skyrim may be called "open world" and not "story-driven", however, there is an underlying story to Skyrim, and that story could be compelling in how it is told and how it unravels, or just an excuse for "hack'a'dragon".

Things like "inventory bookmarks" are soooooo far from my radar.. just an example, when I play games like Oblivion, I limit myself to one sword, one dagger, one shield (if sword is 2-handed I toss the shield), and whatever armor I am wearing. I carry no torches, no gazillion potions (matter of fact, I never use magic). Need health? I kill something. That is how I role play my characters. I carry so few stuff, I don't need a complicated "inventory" system.

How pretty the game looks, that wears out after a few minutes, then it just becomes a chore, and I go into my "got to finish it, I paid $50.00 for this crap" mode. The last time it happened to me was with Assassin's Creed. Beautiful game.. painfully monotonous to play. Now, if I am in doubt, I just wait for the gameplay videos to pop up on youtube to make a better decision.

If it's supposed to be about Skyrim why dwell on the past?

It's a point to consider though. In the wake of skyrim topics after release, you will begin to see comparisons to morrowind and people will never shutup about Daggerfall. It happened with morrowind and oblivion(cept it got compared to mw and daggerfall).

like terra said, the topic was why it would be the best elder scrolls game. So if youre disecting skyrim and talking why it would be the best of the elder scrolls series then you naturally have to compare it to the others.

I just wish they didn't ditch functional and fun mechanics each time they made a new one. Hopefully enchantment will be more Morrowind-esque.

In a lot of people's opinions.


Yes.. especially Oblivion.. man, I'm sure the majority of the people agree with you there, that's why people keep on buying the damn game!

Because it's not worth the price at all.



I'm all for constructive critism, but stating your opinion as if the majority of the earth's populace agree with it is a tad too much don't you think? Considering Oblivion is what made TES popular (Albeit Morrowind was a good seller aswell) and offered the opportunity for a larger budget for the development of skyrim.
