well lets say, in every TES game i ever played , even on daggerfall, the last one i've played my mind always blow away, because the game was huge, there was many things to do and discover all the time and everytime i discovered somenthing new i was like" WHAT! THAT GAME ROCKS!" and this is what skyrim should be like, discovering new things that are new to the series and understanding then! don't matter the graphics or the animations or any fail, bug, AI problem, every game from TES still today blowing my mind away!

Without doubt, I and most other would be more than happy enough with Oblivion in a new location with the fixes and graphic updates we saw in fallout 3.
Bethesda know this but want to make something better and I serious doubt they will screw up,

its funny because morrowind its trilhions time better than oblivion in every single way! but lets face it! OBLIVION IS FUNNIER!

not exaclty, i still play oblivion without any mod, its better for me, and, i hate anime mods, IT DOESN'T FIT! the only oblivions mods im looking forwards are the one who add other places of tamriel into oblivion, such as morrowind, hammerfell, elsweyr, valenwood!

Hmm I must have missed something then..because I thought combat was better in Oblivion than morrowind, also the graphics and the world size. Must have imagined it then.

Notice the word "many" in my post , that does not mean all.

i loved morrowind, the first tes game ive played was oblivion, i must say that the idea of skyrim being like oblivion kinda scares, not only me but alot of people, but when you really think about how fun oblivion was, you can't complain! ive played almost 1000 hours of oblivion, or even more! and morrowind, even though i think its thousands time better in every single aspect, isn't funnier than oblivion was! i think that skyrim will be a great game if at least some of the good aspect of oblivion apear in skyrim! at least, you should agree that the armour customization was better! hehe

Your opinion and I respect it. Won't bash the opinion or you, we're all different to what we like and enjoy for games.

While I did enjoy both Morrowind and Oblivion, I felt Morrowind was more unique in terms of atmosphere and had bit more fun with it. This game is a sequel to Oblivion and as such they'd probably use Oblivion more so than previous games. My two fears is all visuals and shallow gameplay and eliminating most elements in this game from previous games resulting in a meh and unjustified purchase. My fears do not derive from Oblivion, I mean from latest other games which had been released. I want to end this paragraph by saying I don't hate Oblivion or dislike it by any means, I don't want to give off any impression like that.

Granted, Skyrim will be a good game and do hope my two fears are put at ease and gone, and probably will as this is a TES game.

Yeah you did miss something, a four year time gap, that is a lot of time to improve a video game especially if you have the next generation of gaming in mind. The graphics being better is a given and the world size of oblivion is a joke compared to morrowind especially if you count dungeons as part of your "world" size. A lot of the wilderness/backdrop of Cyrodill was very generic as well. The combat is the only thing that oblivion does dramatically better than morrowind imo. Also I want to point out that I, like most of you, would've been extremely happy if this was exactly like oblivion in terms of gameplay, size etc. with just a new setting and story. Just in case it seemed like I was trolling oblivion or w.e.

Will be a great game I will really enjoy for some weeks, before go back to Morrowind. Lol, jokes apart, my idea is that would be a great game, a lot far from other tes titles in design, will be not really long and with all that freedom as before, but with a nice story line and great moments. I'm quite sure will be not so long-living as his predecessors.

No, its the way YOU hype it up to yourself.

Aside from some of the Radiant AI features, Oblivion was pretty spot on to what was advertised as far as it concerned me. There wasn't really anything missing, and it was exactly as I was lead to believe it was going to be. Your big mistake is to assume the game was going to be sooooo amazing, and think that every feature is going to be as absolutely amazing as it possibly could be. Oblivion was bound to be an improved Morrowind, and thats all it was. Any assumption that it was going to be the holy grail of gaming and innovation was a mistake on your part.

The same thing is going to be true with Skyrim. I see so many people around here hyping Skyrim up, assuming its going to be the best game ever, and taking all the info about it to the absolute extreme. I've not read one thing about Skyrim that leads me to believe its going to be some massive leap over Oblivion, or that its going to be some super amazing game. Sure there are some nice new features, and I have no doubt its going to be a really good game... but its just going to be a better Oblivion (with a new story of course), just like Oblivion was a better Morrowind. If you assume its going to be more then that, and over estimate how good some of the games features are going to be (theres going to be a ton of let down around here when it comes to Radiant Story for example), then its your own fault when the game feels over hyped to you.

I know the gameplay mechanics will be the best yet. That is certain. I just hope we have a better atmosphere this time around.

That's what it boils down to really, Morrowind just had a better atmosphere. A more unique world. That's what (some) TES fans really want. They want the culture of The Elder Scrolls. And at this point, it looks like Skyrim is going to deliver on all fronts, including atmosphere. (I know for sure it will at least be a couple steps up from Oblivion.)

I hope it's good. I didn't like the beta much...

I doubt it. Rarely games live up to their promise, even if the games are good.
It doesn't mean the game will be bad, but just not as good as we're all hoping for.

Yeah sorry, I don't often listen to people who make up a load of BS about the game. That's not hype, it's speculation.

Hype is twitter quotes, mag previews, Todd talking about the game in the GI interviews.

I'm sure at the very least it will be a decent ARPG. :shrug:

a lot of features were cut, so it was kinda a disappointment, but they have fixed some of them and have been applied to Skyrim, like radiant AI and shadows. Also have you seen some of the suggestions on this forum? Skyrim definitely wont live up to all of them. Bethesda may seem like it, but they arn't gods

Bethesda is very good at making something that is already impressive look far better than it really is.

so is every person that has ever sold something efficiently

You're probably right, I hyped it myself and will probably hype up Skyrim the same way.

Yes.

Well, so far I'm kind of cautious about it...so if it's as good as Oblivion in the gameplay department (I prefer Morrowind, but...), then I'll be happy. And we've already neutered the coolest part of Nordic Lore (Thu'um). So...

Bah, I counter your MW and PnP hate by stating that not hitting anything in combat was just fine, and simple combat mechanics are just fine, and all of the required reading was just fine...because I come froma PnP background :flamethrower: So there, now our opinions don't matter -1 +1 = 0 (all in good fun mate

As for the original question, obviously for some it will live up to the hype, and for others it won't. :shrug:

I′m not a tough one to please, I′ll like it for sure. For those that are, well, avoid beeing taken over by the hype and lower your expectations...
