You know seeing things like "when will skyrim 2 come out ?!" and even a gamespot topic stating "Dont expect skyrim 2 anytime soon" Really ticks me of for somereason i just hate the people who just see skyrim in the ramp lights as if it is the only TES Game in existens. In the ways of TES games I love Morrowind the most and and oblivion the least. I just feel like morrowind is really fleshed out but thats just me. And i've actually started to hate skyrim now-a-days a game i used to love. I dont know i just had to get it out

I wouldn't take it to heart, before Skyrim came out people were asking when Oblivion 5 was going to be released.

There was also talk of Morrowind 2 at one point, in the early days of internet mass media...


It's annoying, sure, but it's something we've had to deal with as long as I can remember.

I hate it when it's called "Skyrim 2". Partially cause as you said, people seeing Skyrim as "The only TES game". But also cause every time it happens, I worry a little more that TES 6 may actually turn out to be Skyrim 2, especially if enough people want it to be, which makes it even more annoying to me. Lets have a TES game in every province first.

I hate when people say oblivion is a bad TES game. but it happens people can be annoying.

Skyrim 2, Oblivion5, Morrowind 2? What the, I'm still waiting for Daggerfall 2.

Oblivion wasn't amazing, but it certainly wasn't a bad game.. had some of the best written faction questlines we've gotten

Yes, they certainly can. They can be annoying about every game, not just Oblivion. When I got here, people hated Morrowind. It was actually kind of traumatic to me to be exposed to the hate directed at the game. I was pretty new to game forums and was not used to the way gamers express themselves over the internet. But every game that has ever been made has had its detractors. You cannot please everybody.

The way I see it, people who buy a game are entitled to express their opinions about the game they have purchased. Some of them have very intelligent, thoughtful critiques to make and I have found that it is worthwhile to consider those opinions carefully. Intelligent critiques have changed my own opinions more than once. Some of the criticisms directed at Morrowind back then, I now realize, were justified.

I enjoy reading thoughtful opinions that differ from my own. It is one of the ways in which I grow and develop as a human being. But when I encounter a critique with little or no thought behind it (i.e. "THIS GAME svckS!"), I just ignore it. It's not worth my time or what little is left of my mental health to get upset by ignorant opinions. Life is too short. I have better things to do than to waste my time thinking about how stupid other people can get, no matter how true that might be.

It was Amazing to me. I know most say morrorwind or skyrim are better but I had more fun with Oblivion then both those games. we all know game have flaws etc etc.

woe their. I just get a little annoyed when TES fans talk [censored] about oblivion and talk like skyrim and morrorwind are leagues better. not saying it flawless and not to critique it.

I don't want to start a flame war, but I just wish to state that IMO Oblivion isn't a bad game. I do, however, think that it is a bad TES, when compared to the other games in the series. If it was the only game in the series, or if you judge it by itself, it isn't bad, but it isn't brilliant. You can get your fun out of it, and then improve it with mods if you wish.

I'd rather choose Oblivion if it was a choice of Oblivion or Nothing.

Nah. It's in the top five TES games.

Haha, so then what about the spin-offs?

What happend to Oblivion 2-4?

Funny enough, I find that Oblivion brought back a certain atmosphere and a number of features from Daggerfall that Morrowind lacked, making it feel more like TES to me.

Oblivion was my first TES game, so I came into it unbiased, and I loved that game. Still do.

I agree. Even though Morrowind is my favorite of the five, it has several problems that don't exist in the other four games. The biggest problem, to me, is the total lack of NPC schedules; the world seems static when quest-givers and shop owners basically stand in one place 24/7, waiting for the player.

Well, given that Dagoth Ur's dissemination of bad dreams probably has half the population deathly afraid to sleep, it's not totally wrong, at least after you begin to understand the situation. I do agree that Oblivion's addition (or re-introduction since Daggerfall) of schedules was a big positive step.

I agree to a point, but when I go to sleep in The Bannered Mare during a Bard's song and wake up the next morning in the exact same spot in the song as I went to sleep, it's not quite as "immersive" as intended.

The translation between "time passing" during a "frozen moment" is not handled as well as it could have been

Yes, I'm annoyed by this, too. I don't know why NPCs' scripts can't update before the character "wakes up."

I love Skyrim. But it seems as though in some areas they actually went backwards when they made the game. NPC schedules is one of these areas as far as I'm concerned. In Oblivion, most of the time, the game would update after sleeping or waiting. I've even had loading screens after sleeping or waiting for a particularly long time. Afterwards, my character would wake up to find new NPCs in the room, doing different things than they would have done last night. I swear, I just don't understand Bethesda sometimes. They take one step forward and two steps backwards. I mean, how is it we can't even sheath weapons in Fallout 4? What is this, 2002-era Morrowind? What's next? Will physics be removed in the next game? Will we go back to Daggerfall's freaking sprites? What, Bethesda? What??

Sorry. I haven't had breakfast yet. I get a little cranky when I haven't had breakfast.

Nothing wrong with sprites. I mean, hey, in Daggerfall vanilla game, there is nudity!

You make a good point!

Exactly.

Bethesda ,I believe, were going to add intercourse in, but they didn't for a reason unknown to me.

Kinda wish that they will expand on marriage and family lives, but it's unlikely

I hope that too. I thought they took a great (if flawed) first step in that direction with Skyrim and Hearthfires. Myself, I haven't lost hope. You never know, maybe personal relationships will be one of the areas in which Bethesda takes their "two steps forward" in the next game. I remain cautiously optimistic. (I have had breakfast now )

Same here. Certain things were wonky, but I still spent a lot of time playing Oblivion.
