My favorite is The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall just because of the overwhelming amount of content in the game.

I didn't know this until recently but there are over 750,000 NPCs, 15,000 towns, and 487,000 square kilometers to explore in the game. It supposed to take two real life weeks to walk from one end of the game world to the other. I myself have never attempted this so I don't know for sure.

To be honest I haven't played Daggerfall as much as I have played Morrowind or Oblivion since I only recently downloaded the game. Only about 70 hours in, but once I got used to the controls I haven't been able to stop playing it.

By the way, thats more content than Morrowind and Oblivion put together and then multiplied by 100..

For the sake of simplicity, may I ask why the expansions have been separated from the games they expand? They're not separate games, just additions to their respective games.

As for Daggerfall, it may have more of everything, technically, but in the most literal way, once you've seen one location or done one side quest, you've pretty much seen or done them all. I don't mean to sound like I'm bashing it, but you seem to have your expectations of the gameworld far too high.

My favorite is Oblivion, but that includes SI and KotN.

Expansion packs are not new games.
They are a continuation of the game they belong to , using the same graphics/gameplay/rules/etc.

It is a widely held understanding that they belong to the game for which they expand.

Morrowind.

I went with Bloodmoon, because the content from that really sealed the deal with Morrowind imho

I separated the games from the expansion packs because I was just wondering what everyone's favorite singular experience was with an Elder Scrolls game. Certain expansion packs are actually longer than most full games these days. Kane and Lynch 2 came out recently and that games campaign was only 4 hours long...

I understand that the game world in Daggerfall was repetitive, but there were also certain game mechanics from it that I liked that they removed from later iterations, such as climbing. I really liked the ability to climb over walls and obstacles and I really hope that that feature makes a return in the fifth game.

I don't understand what you mean by my expectations of a gameworld being far to high. I was just simply stating facts about Daggerfall's gameworld that I thought were particularly impressive.

In the poll's question I said what is your favorite game/expansion. I did not limit it to just the game.

Oblivion, with KOTN and SI (and the eight DLCs) installed.

They are inseparable.

Morrowind is frightening. Things can come out of nowhere and absolutely cream you. But, it always draws you back, it's odd... Bloodmoon added a lot to it, but vanilla was just so great on it's own...

Blessing of Almsivi on whoever is diseased enough to pick one of the mobile games as their favorite.

Morrowind for me.

Where is Potato? That game was frickin' sweet BEST elder scrolls game ever.

I don't follow...

I do! Yay, I'm cool! :disguise:
(it was an option in a previous poll)

Anyhoo, I can't believe you're making me choose between Morrowind and Bloodmoon! WhileI just love Morrowind all over, Bloodmoon added so much to the experience. I think I'd have to vote... Bloodmoon. Great new content and Lycanthropy. 'nuff said. Hircine made his first major appearance, too.

I know this is really off topic but that's a sweet avatar.

We should start a trend. All credit goes to AwsomeDwarf for his pole.

My favorite is Morrowind so far, I haven't gotten enough time with Daggerfall, but it looks like it could shape up to surpass Morrowind in my opinion.

Indeed it is. You want one? http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Daedric_Princes, take your pick. Mine is Hircine, of course, and each one, apart from Jyggalag has its own. (They're from each princes Daggerfall appearance)


Wait, members of gaming forums can be cool? This is more amazing than the time I found out females frequented these places!

My favorite TES game? OMG POTATOES!!!!!!!!

But uh, do I really have to choose? They're all so wonderful.

They Do!? OMG OMG OMG I gonna get cooties.

id have to go with Oblivion becuase of the shivering isles and its unique content :icecream:

Oblivion was as unique as a bowl of bran flakes.

He ment Shivering Ilses the expansion pack. It is unique in many ways.

i ment the Shivering isles and i agree about the bran flakes thing

Tough one...Daggerfall...played it for 3 years plus and still didn't close to beating the main quest...

I don't understand the hate (in general) towards Oblivion on these forums. I thought it was an amazing game and a great addition to the franchise. It won more Game of the Year awards than any of the other The Elder Scrolls games.

Daggerfall is still my favorite though. I am just wondering why it seems like a lot of people have it out for Oblivion.
