Going solely by RPG mechanics then that's probably a fair statement. But Daggerfall is a way better RPG than Morrowind.

Daggerfall had more depth, but I think Morrowind's improvements in accessibility, graphics, etc., were a step in the right direction. Morrowind managed to do this without detracting too much from the complexity and depth of the game. Oblivion, on the other hand, went much too far for my tastes. I don't want a happy balance between Oblivion and Morrowind in Skyrim. I want everything that made each game great included and improved upon. I'm just not convinced that's what we're going to get.

I have only playing Oblivion, but I have no doubt that (in part due to the new engine) Skyrim will be the best TES game, and one of the best games in general, ever.

Daggerfall is and will always be the best until skyrim proves me wrong.

Yes sir!

I played very little Daggerfall, Morrowind extensively, Oblivion extensively. I can say I think Morrowind was the best, although Daggerfall certianly had a lot of mechanics that I miss. Oblivion was a joke to me, it felt like half of the RPG had been taken out, and once I had come to accept that the level scaling kicked in...
The only thing I really liked about Oblivion was the graphics, and the improved controls.

BRO FIST! :celebration:

Hipsters.

Agreed. Always below MW.
I love Oblivion, play it more than MW, but I don't think even Skyrim can top MW

I'm actually glad to see there's quite a bit of optimism about Skyrim, especially from these forums, which represent sort of the "True" Elder Scrolls fans.

I think it's possible for Skyrim to be the Best Elder Scrolls ever, the overall potential of the game, based on what we've heard, even taking a fairly conservative approach, is staggering.

Do I think it'll be? No, I think Morrowind will still hold the top spot(For me). It's not really a problem with Bethesda, so much as it is the times themselves. When Morrowind came out, the standards were different, and, more importantly, the Market was different. As the xbox360 generation pretty much 'Mainstreamed" games, it's now more at the mercy of the market than ever before. While I'm sure Bethesda can do whatever they want with a game, at this point, and nobody would dare question it, their desire to see the series remain both a critical and financial success, means they'll probably play their hand a little more conservatively than before.

Yay! I'm a true elder scrolls fan. :tes:

Personally, the thing that bugged me out of playing Morrowind almost immediately was the awful combat. After a while I kinda got used to it but I certainly have not grown fond of it and it puts me off playing it from time to time :sadvaultboy:

Having said that, however, Morrowind far, far surpassed Oblivion with its wonderfully unique atmosphere and world and its main quest was not clear cut and urgent from the outset, which I liked. I still haven't done it for the reason that the designers made it feel like it wasn't urgent and the urge was more to explore and do whatever you want. Now, of course, Oblivion let you do the same and its pretty much guaranteed Skyrim will do too but one thing I'd love to see is a MQ which is not dumped upon you from the start (FO3 did it similarly to Morrowind, in a way)

Its a given that Skyrim will improve on the combat side of things in OB, let alone MW, but it'll only be the best TES in my eyes if we see a return of the deep, engaging and exciting world that made Morrowind special :twirl:

Ofcourse it [censored] will be.

No idea. I'd have to play it first to make that judgement.

Ofc it will be better than any so far. :goodjob:

I don't know, I really loved Morrowind and Daggerfall. I think that Skyrim is going to be really good.

I have noticed that ones first TES game will ALWAYS be there true love, no matter how hard you kid yourself, there isn't a better feeling than breaking into this unique world of immersion and depth! :tes:

For some weird reason I'm not allowed to vote?

Morrowind changed everything about gaming for me but Oblivion effectively replaced it. I'm sure Skyrim will do the same.

Best ever? I don't know. Every time Todd opens his mouth, I become more doubtful.

But I do feel pretty strongly that it will be better than Oblivion, and Oblivion was "decent," so this will be at least "good." There aren't too many "good" RPGs coming out these days, so we take what we can get.

Yes...hope springs eternal.

i really really want to play daggerfall. :sadvaultboy:

You can download it off elderscrolls.com if I remember right.
Then use DOSBox to play it.

im waiting for the daggerXL engine to get finished and its taking that guy forever. im to the point of thinking its one of those "never gonna get finished" projects. ive tried daggerfall before but my eyes starting bleeding from all the huge pixels and i play might and magic 7 every couple of years.

i would pay bethesda $20 if they redid daggerfall on something more recent hell even something from the early 2000s as long as it doesnt use GINORMOUS pixels.
