What ES Games have you played? : V - Skyrim

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 11:02 am

Believe it or not, I've never finished any mainquest... But I don't think that's a bad thing at all.

I've played Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion (couldn't get the Arena download to work on my computer). I beat Morrowind and Oblivion. I think Morrowind has been the best, and Skyrim will hopefully be better than it but I think it's gonna be the second best.

surprised that only a couple of people voted for daggerfall as the best game

Just a quick poll to see what games people have played and how they think Skyrim will compare with all the information that we have now.

I expect Skyrim to be different as Oblivion and Morrowind were different.

I don't think a lot of folks played DF relative to the other games. I voted DF as the best and was also surprised at the low number. The only explanation is there aren't that many folks who played thru it....b/c most long time fans agree that it was the best in the series so far. I liked MW also, but all things considered, DF, for it's time, was revolutionary.

I've played Morrowind, but not very far. I've beaten Oblivions everything a million times. I think Skyrim will be better than both of them

All the games have things that i would change and that are great. I have played them all, and all are some of the best games i have played. IMHO best rpg franchise ever.

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 3:59 pm

Morrowind and Oblivon. Finished the main quest several times in both.

I just played Arena. I'm proud to say that I've played Elder Scrolls 1 through to 4. :celebration:

Because what this forum needs is more vs. threads about the games...

This ^^

Edit: I take that back. I see that there's little flaming in this thread after seven pages. That's impressive work guys.

Daggerfall was very good but had a lots of raw edges, lots of overpowered functions, lots of bugs. Fun thing is that it managed a better level scaling than Oblivion as it was more span in enemies, you could risk running into high level enemies at low level.
And yes the game was a revolution, more innovative than Morrowind actually even if not all the innovations worked very well.

I haven't played Daggerfall, but from what I've heard it had some pretty cool features. I hope they implement some of 'em in Skyrim.

Played Morrowind back when it was released, but I never finished it. I just liked doing the side quests and exploring the dungeons. I had both expansions, but only finished bloodmoon.

I didn't buy oblivion immediately, got it as a Bday present and thought I'd try it out. I was pretty much blown away from the moment I booted the game up. Finished the game and it's two expansions.

Bethesda is one of those companies that hasn't disappointed me yet, one of the few if I may say so. So I am pretty sure that Skyrim will be the best in the series.

Sadly, I've only played Morrowind and Oblivion, but I played both of them for hundreds of hours. I think Skyrim will be better than Oblivion, but it probably still won't be better than Morrowind.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised to see someone say that... but I still am. Morrowind had its time and I enjoyed it a lot, but last time I had a look a couple of months back it just didn't do much for me. I would hope Skyrim is a big improvement over that experience...

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 6:03 pm

Arena was absolutely brilliant in its time and I finished it! I don't actually remember finishing morrowind. I have really enjoyed all the games I've played.

» Thu Sep 02, 2010 1:04 am

I laugh at the people who think Arena was the best

I've played them all but completed none of them. I know how they end though, so I can say well enough I know how things are stringed together. Morrowind was definitely the best because of how well it was able to make up for its technological shortcomings and deliver a really great and gigantic experience that never felt padded.

It's sad to see so very little Daggerfall love

In my mind the definitive Elder Scrolls title so far. I doub't Skyrim will eclipse it in scope or longevity, but I'm open to pleasant surprises.

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 6:25 pm

I've played all four of the main ES games. I've only had time to beat the main quest in Morrowind and Oblivion though. My favorite? Probably Oblivion, but maybe that's because I have fond memories of it the summer when I first played it. It introduced me to the series. I love all the games though. Except Arena, I couldn't get out Of the first dungeon because my game was skipping a lot so I never got to Play much of it...

hope Skyrim will be better than all four!

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 8:23 pm

Arena, Daggerfall, Redguard, Battlespire, Morriwind, Oblivion

Well it's hard to decide which is the best Daggerfall, Morrowind, or Oblivon, but I vote Daggerfall.
Why?
Boobs

(Seriously, the simple addition of sixuality made Daggerfall feel more like a Fantasy Epic.)

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 4:51 pm

I have played Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion. I would say the best game out of these three is Oblivion. Even though Morrowind introduced me to the series I never really finished the main quest line (I'm going to replay Morrowind before Skyrim comes out). For it would be Oblivion as my favorite ES game. :tes:

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 11:28 am

Oblivion was my first TES game and I've never really stopped playing it thanks to mods. I've tried to get started with MW but it just hasn't aged very well, I can never get very far into it before losing interest. I have very high hopes for Skyrim and can easily see it being my favorite game ever. :tes:

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 4:12 pm

I played Arena, Daggerfall, Battlespire, Redguard, Morrowind and Oblivion.

Hard to say which I prefer but certainly regarding time spent playing, I would say I spent the most hours on Daggerfall, Oblivion and then Morrowind.
Daggerfall still holds the favourite spot in my heart though, even though I find it too dated to played nowadays.

I think Skyrim will become my favourite and am hoping it will have a longer replay value than the others, which have been impressive for replayability already.

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 6:02 pm

Only played Morrowind and Oblivion. But Guilty as charged i have not completed any quest line on Morrowind, still have plans to finish it though
found Oblivion better than any other RPG i have played

» Wed Sep 01, 2010 12:17 pm

am i a loser cause i voted daggerfall as my fav?
