Will you touch past TES games? : V - Skyrim

l haven't played Oblivion in a while, but l will play Morrowind until the day l die. l might just have to put it on hold for a bit when Skyrim comes out

I just reinstalled Morrowind a couple hours ago.

"Unfortunately" (for Morrowind, not me) I am getting a new mobo/CPU/RAM in a couple days (*crosses fingers it ships Thursday*) so I have to reinstall Windows. I decided I'll just put it off til my new system is built.

I voted for all but the first one and the last one, because there was no number one, making the last option invalid.

There's no "might" about it. In the time since Oblivion came out, I've gone back and played Arena, Daggerfall and Morrowind. I'm playing Morrowind right now. A great game will always be great.

I won't touch Oblivion again, but Morrowind and Daggerfall have earned a place on my favourites list.

I' never did get around to finishing Tribunal and bloodmoon, So i may try MW again before Skyrim comes out. I'm working through the NEhrim mod for Oblivion right now and I haven't played FONV yet. I think by the time I get through Nehrim, and FONV, Skyrim should be out. Then back to MW to finally finish the expansions, then on to TES6: Somewhere

Hard to say untill we can actually play the game, but I imagine I would revisit Oblivion and Morrowind atleast another time in preparation for perhaps the next TES game or simply for old times sake.

Probably not, unless I am really, really bored.

Well I voted I'd play Morrowind because it's awesome and OB for the mods. But I play Morrowind with MGE, but I don't play Morrowind for the mods. In fact I dont play OB for the mods, I play OB because of the mods.

I'll still play Oblivion from time to time but most of my gaming time will be going to Skyrim.

» Tue Sep 01, 2009 7:35 pm

I chose "Everything but #1" and #1

» Tue Sep 01, 2009 10:39 pm

I am still playing all of them and I can't see myself stopping. Skyrim would have to be life-alteringly stupendously awesome to stop me from wanting to return to Vvardenfell or Cyrodiil or Daggerfall.

Having said that, when Skyrim does come out I think I might take a month off work, warn my friends away and turn my phone off... :smile:

I never actually beat the main quest of Morrowind legitimately so as soon as I saw the trailer for Skyrim I vowed that I would beat Morrowind's main quest (and as many of the major factions as I can) before Skyrim comes out.

after skyrim I probably wont play OB or MW for a long time but will eventually revisit them for nostalgia's sake

It's hard for me to get back into Morrowind because the graphics are so outdated... And no, I can't download mods because I play on consoles.

But I'll be playing a lot of Oblivion in the months leading up to Skyrim.

» Wed Sep 02, 2009 7:26 am

Where's the "i'll play them all until the end of my days" option?

Hear, hear!!

» Wed Sep 02, 2009 9:51 am

I'm not sure on the poll choices but I'll definitely be playing Oblivion and possibly Morrowind if I ever get it.

Posts like this make me weep.

You need to go back and play http://bethblog.com/index.php/2010/12/14/remembering-commander-keen-20-years-later/

I will continue to play them all in my own time frame(for now I am into Morrowind, it might be back to Oblivion next, or onto Daggerfall, or maybe Arena.)
I still can't see how anyone could vote number 1.

» Wed Sep 02, 2009 4:10 am

I'm sure I'll replay Morrowind and Oblivion, and maybe Daggerfall. I have difficulty enjoying Arena due to the lack of mouse look.

You act like Skyrim is a guaranteed success. There's always a possibility I'll not care for it much, and in such a case, I'll simply have to rely on good old Morrowind some more. And even if Skyrim is a success and I like it very much, I'll still play Morrowind.

» Wed Sep 02, 2009 1:02 am

After I play Skyrim for a huge amount of time I will likely comeback and play other TES games, they're all classics to me.

» Tue Sep 01, 2009 11:21 pm

There is absolutely no need to stop playing the past ES games no matter how awesome Skyrim turns out to be. They will always have a special place in my heart as the first and only gaming series I fell in love with.

» Wed Sep 02, 2009 2:28 am

I definitely don't play the older TES games as much as I used to, but each TES game has its own advantages over the others, and they're still great games. I still pull them out occasionally, even if just for nostalgic value.

» Tue Sep 01, 2009 7:16 pm

I'll for sure be revisiting Oblivion. And I still need to actually play through Morrowind, so if that doesn't get done between now and next November, it'll be happening after I buy Skyrim for sure. Just because Skyrim is new doesn't mean the older games are any less incredible.

» Wed Sep 02, 2009 4:17 am

Yes, I will play past Elder Scrolls games after Skyrim. I played Morrowind after Oblivion came out. I don't see why anyone wouldn't.

This sums up my initial reaction to the poll exactly.
