The question is pretty self explanatory. I thoroughly enjoyed both games, but it seems that quite a few people would like to see a return to Morrowind style structuring for Skyrim. Although that is not fully possible due to the skills/attributes consolidation, there are still many ways in which it could resemble Morrowind's style. I cannot choose a favorite between the two, but that may be highly influenced by Oblivions aesthetic superiority. What are your opinions?

Morrowind

None. I want Skyrim to be its own individual experience and not Morrowind 2/Oblivion 2.

Of course, I just meant which game's features would you like to see have a greater influence on Skyrim, as it is sure to be influenced by its predecessors.

Daggerfall.

Best Answer you'll find.

SKYRIM! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0wWms8WMkQ&feature=bf_play&list=WL00BB26A3C8CAAFC7&index=1

These threads always dissolve into Morrowind vs. Oblivion threads anyway.

every elder scrolls so far has been totally different from the previous one, so i don't expect to find any gameplay similarities with oblivion or morrowind... or daggerfall or arena

:hubbahubba:

daggerfall!

EVIL DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!

none, or both...

Neither, I want Skyrim to be Skyrim.

I think they both have their strengths and weaknesses. I think Oblivion's sidequests were better. Going shopping for 8 things of some ingrediant for the Telvani house wasn't my idea of a good quest.

I imagine with the new stealth features they're bringing into Skyrim the Morag Tong/Dark Brotherhood/"Whatever the new assassins guild is" quests will be a lot better.

I think morrowind had good parts and bad parts, so did Oblivion. Like a lot of people I want Skyrim to be it's own game, learning from what worked and what didn't work in its predecessors. I imagine Bethesda is doing just that - taking feedback and trying to make Skryim it's own game with good parts from previous games and without the bad parts of previous games.

Off-topic: I can't wait to kick some draugr ass with my modded Dwemer chainsaw. :happy:

EDIT: and my modded boomstick!

Again, I totally agree. Nothing could be as big of a let down as a carbon copy of one of the previous games. However, you cant deny that there will be some similarities, and if Skyrim was completely alien to the TES series I think it would be the less for it (Fable cough cough). So anyways, which similarities would you prefer?

I would just like the best bits of what made the previous games great. Like you say this game is built on the foundation of its predecessors. I have faith that every aspect of the game
will be looked at and reworked, which I think is happening. You can't focus on one thing to have a "greater influence" because some things that were in past Elder Scrolls might not
work within Skyrim. Everything has to work in harmony with each other.

A bit of both. :twirl:

The best parts of Daggerfall, Morrowind and Oblivion while avoiding all their worst parts.
And a whole lot of uniqueness.

I agree. I loved Oblivion's middle-age theme. But I also liked the Dwemer stuff in Morrowind. I'd say I'd like to see a bit more Oblivion. Or neither.

Of course they should take the best of both worlds, but if I had to choose I choose Morrowind. The things that Oblivion did better were mostly made available by the (normal given the years passed) technical progress, while what Morrowind did better was more about the devs' inspiration, writing and artistic exuberance.

Amen

It's looking like F3/nv are having a huge influence on the game.

I can see that in the new perk system, but not really from the screenshots. Quite a few people have been saying that the shots from Skyrim resemble Fallout 3 but i totally disagree. Fallout's environment was characterized by a drab, tan desert-wasteland feel almost throughout but Skyrim looks like it will be a bit more dynamic. And you dont see much snow in Fallout.
