Arena: Hard!
Daggerfall: Politics!
Morrowind: Real!
Oblivion: Mods!

Yes there were mods in Morrowind, but even without them it seemed like a real and living place, but I need mods to feel that way about Oblivion, and Oblivion for me came alive with the mods. It was wonderful before, but became dear to me after.

Arena: Simplistic/Challenging

Daggarfall: Wonderful/Humongous

Morrowind: Alien/Political/Best

Oblivion: Home/Favorite/Invasion/Myself

Edit:

You guys must REALLY dislike Oblivion. :shrug:

I'm "new" to TES so i can only summarize two.

Morrowind - GOTY

Oblivion - disappointing

Arena:

Morrowind: Anything can die, but there can be consequence
Oblivion: Most things can die, and there is little consequence.

Well, for Daggerfall, nothing indoors can be attacked and horses/pigs/dogs/camels/etc. can't be attacked, either, so not everything can die, or even be attacked.

TES I: ?
TES II: Irritating
TES III: Engrossing
TES IV: Disappointing

Yeah, I'd have to say that's it. Although I'll probably be trying Daggerfall again tonight despite the horrible interface.

And I'll name the games based on who seemed to have the most influence over their development.

Daggerfall: writers
Morrowind: artists
Oblivion: investors

» Tue May 17, 2011 5:49 am

Daggerfall: writers
Morrowind: artists
Oblivion: investors

I just can't do better than that.

» Tue May 17, 2011 6:52 am

Arena: Crash
Daggerfall: Crash
Battlespire: Meh
Redguard: Adventure!
Morrowind: Crash
Oblivion: Crash

A gamesas game is not a real game if it doesn't ship with bugs and crashes.

Arena: beginning
Daggerfall: Overwhelming
Morrowind: Epic
Oblivion: Mainstream

This.

or...

Arena: No Hircine
Daggerfall: Hircine
Morrowind: Hircine
Oblivion: No Hircine

(I mean actual appearance, not a voice inside a statue, and I was +1 par, who cares?)

EDIT:

I like this, too.

Daggerfall: writers
Morrowind: artists
Oblivion: investors

I like it

He wasn't talking so much to you, as to the people here who never have a kind word for the game except, occasionally, that it has decent graphics.

» Tue May 17, 2011 5:02 am

And the stealth is fun!

Except when you spend 20 minutes tracking the count of Leyawin until he's all by himself, kill him in one hit only to watch him spring back to his feet and call the guards :facepalm:

That's the thing about Oblivion. Every time I start to have fun, the devs stop me. Except when it comes to graphics. The graphics never stop being pretty. That's why they're Oblivion's best feature.

That is why you get your stealth to 100 so you can do like x10 damage.

He's talking about essentials, I believe. Essentials are one of those things that stop Oblivion being a good game, imo. Stealth was great though. Still annoyed me that they never fixed how I couldn't hide after being chased by guards, though. And psychic guards.

Arena: Idea

Daggerfall: Choice

Morrowind: Consequence

Oblivion: Immersion
