Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, or Skyrim

[Spaghet]

Which is the best? Don't say in some ways this game and in other ways that game.

And if people wanted to they could finish skyrim in 5 minutes flat

And aren't you a fan boy? You're fanboying so hard you can't even argue without swearing all over.

Yikes - I forgot how awful Morrowind NPC's look without Better Bodies and Better Heads :P

[Zeevo]

Inmy opinion, Obivion is the best game. I've never playedMorrowind though, only Oblivion, Skyrim, and ESO. I find Oblivion to have better gameplay than Skyrim. Skyrim seems too movie-like.

Daggerfall! Morrowind was dumbed down for pansy casuals.

Yay verily Daggerfall tis the best for me but i love em all since the days of Arena as they all play out like huge chapters of a ever changing video game story. With mods we can enjoy what made previous games alot of fun to each of us individually.

Skyrim in alot of ways reminds me of Daggerfall so its pretty much a tie minus the different character creation systems.

As for Morrowind being dumbed down. I dont think so. We all lucked out with console gamers falling in love with Morrowind which just goes to show they are not the casuals everyone says they are. They like it just as thick as any hardcore gamer no matter the gaming system. Also back then there was no such thing as casuals. If not for the X Box fans who knows if we would still be enjoying The Elder Scrolls series or at the least we might be waiting alot longer for them to come out.

I was joking. I sarcastically responded to the tired meme that "Skryim is dumbed down because they removed skills!" from other threads. Basicially, if removing skills makes a game dumb, then why isn't Morrowind dumb since it removed skills. People pick and choose their arguments according to whichever logical fallacy is closest at hand.

Thanks for the correction LOL :D I agree completely that removing skills does not make a game less intricate. Skyrim actually feels more natural and more fluid as all the game mechanics mainly hidden from sight are based on the players actions and not some set in stone stats etc. Just like in real life we can be many shades of existence not just one.

Absolutely morrowind

Yeah I am a fan boy, a fan boy of a game that was near perfect, and was the tip of perfection for the tes series.

Then continue playing your "perfect" TES game while the rest of us are out having fun with our "perfect" TES games.

Shivering Isles was something I would not call DLC, but an expansion pack. That thing was AMAZING.

DLC stands for Downloadable content, none of that has anything to do with size.

Please stop making us Morrowind fans look bad, it's embarassing.

On the back of the box for Oblivion Goty edition it actually states: "... and the remarkable Shivering Isles Expansion." Guess who's right now then :D

That's pretty sage advice :-)

Thanks to Dawnguard and the Dragonborn DLCs with their expansion level of depth yes DLC no longer has anything to do with size.

@ Aleitheo yes Shivering Isles hit all the right buttons. It was grim, scary and full of crazed humour. I still remember the wacked out female npc in the streets asking where a certain illicit substance was :D

[Aleitheo]

DLC never had anything to do with size, it's just because it was easier to distribute content digitally so making smaller pieces of content than normal was viable.

As the one who originally (incorrectly I admit) called Shivering Isles "DLC", I meant that it was issued seperately from the original game and cost extra when released. I used the blanket term "DLC" because similar expansions for Skyrim were included in the original statement and "DLC" is shorter than "expansion". Sorry for any confusion.
