Can't we just leave the head on the ground? Then we won't be convicted for 3rd degree murder when we offer a severed head to RPG gamers.

Well, maybe we dont need to take his head after death, maybe just exile him to the land of nubs. it keeps our hands clean and tortures his soul at the same time! :)

Ok,

Daggerfall, with Oblivion a close second

Can't choose a real least favorite, I voted Battlespire because of the frustration it put on me (I was eight when I played it)

And Julian, I find myself hating Todd more and more as time goes on.

Ahh, todderkins has been driven back and Julian is in the lead. Like Todd once said:

"Roleplaying to us, is a guy mounted on a horse riding around killing monsters"

He actually said that. Look it up.

We should start a petition for Julian to return somewhere. Because almost all of us do miss him :(

I'm sure they'd let Julian rejoin gamesas. But it's wishful thinking that he'd return. :(

Almost all miss him? Probably a better thing to put after "almost all" would be "live in blissful ignorance of who he is/was". A guy goes into retirement and ten years later you start ranting about how good it would be if his successor who actually made TES succesful (Todd Howard) should go to hell.

Get real...

I would educate you on how wrong you are, but I'm tired, maybe tomorrow.

Just to some things up slightly; You're utterly wrong, Todd destroyed the series. Making sucessful is the oposite of what he did.

From what ive heard and seen of TES ll id have to agree with manninmarcoo.

And by succesful mannimarcoo i think that he means he made it possible for the nubs to play it elderscrolls through the dumbing down and such.

Being extremely smug, and misspelling both the words successful and opposite certainly wont help convince me of the sensible stuff in your arguments (if there is any at all). I'll give you one more shot at redeeming yourself.

Okay, boys... stop sniping at each other, you can debate the relative merits of the game directors or the games to your heart's content. If I come back into the thread, it gets locked and a warning or two could be on the menu. :stare:

This is a poll, someone's opinion can be neither utterly right nor utterly wrong.

You are entitled to your opinion on Todd's effect on the TES series, but just to sum things up, making a blanket statement telling someone they are completely wrong, when the topic is an opinion poll seems to be a poor way of going about making your opinions known and is on the border of being flamebait. Knock it off.

You, although entitled to defend your opinions - politely - shouldn't attempt to play grammar or spelling cop as a "rebuttal". Knock that off too. Stick to the topic.

Your post has inspired me. I just donated all of my cash monies to a company that's researching sniper rifles that can shoot people over the internet. If the technology is sucessful i get a free Sniper rifle.

O..k...bringing this thread back on topic and away from the trench warfare...

My favorite is Oblivion, least favorite is Arena (bit too bland, typical DnD RPG). And I'd say Todd for option 3. He's done a great job on all the games he's led.

I wish I can multi-choose but Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion got my vote, each having their own reason why.

Can't said least favorite the fact I have not all of the game yet.

Don't care which developer is my favorite. Both contribute to what we have (TES) as of this moment.

Fav game - Morrowind.

Least Fav - Only playd Morro and Oblivion, but I heard that Arena svcks, so I voted bad for Arena.

Since I only playd Morrowind and Oblivion, I say that Morrowind is waaaayyyy better than oblivion. Morrowind is so far ahead where oblivion cant keep track.

This is why I think oblivion is still good, but with many dissapointment :

This is how the games will feel from beginning, to where you have completed everything.

Morrowind

Boring - Interesting - Great

Oblivion

Great - Interesting - Boring

See?

Why base your opinion on hearsay? You can download Arena legally for free http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/downloads_games.htm. So why not just install it, play it, and have an informed opinion?

You didnt actually play Daggerfall but you think Morrowind and Oblivion are "dumbed down" for nubs. Isnt that a bit hypocritical?

Ok, I wont. I might have over reacted. But a rebuttal can be fair.

You failed to redeem yourself. I actually expected some real arguments. :(

Well said.

Morrowind

Oblivion

There lies something in that.



Now, what I mean with my first post is (and rest assured I have played all the TES RPG's) is that Morrowind isnt a step backwards from Daggerfall. In it's time all the unique things it offered were marvelous. In Daggerfall, although it is huge, everything is generic. And when Morrowind came, nobody had experienced such a large world with for example each bandit NPC unique and even named. It's a new era of the games, and sticking in the old era today would make a game very unpopular. Everything that was previously very D&D has been integrated into the game to make it more realistic. You dont need to roll a dice when the game engine will do it for you.

The features in Morrowind and Oblivion would have been in the older games too, if the technology had allowed it. It's not because the general public are "too dumb" that games have changed. And that misconception has brought about the entire elitist spirit among some fans of older games people, something I dont like at all.

Favourite: Daggerfall! Followed by Bloodmoon (I know it's just an expansion pack, but I like it more than vanilla Morrowind, what can I say), followed by Oblivion, followed by Morrowind. It's not that I hate Morrowind, but I don't like it as much as the other games.
Least: Arena. I know it's the first game and all, but it's just boring and bland compared to the other games, especially Daggerfall.
Designer: Both are fine by me, but I'll say Julian. He did Daggerfall. Enough said.

Can you tell I like Daggerfall?
