gaming The (Not-Skyrim) Elder Scrolls Thread

[A Black Circle 1,586]

I am relaunching this thread as the NOT-SKYRIM Elder Scrolls Thread, as there's already another Skyrim thread. We don't need another. This thread is for the discussion of Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion, and just general stuff about these games. This is NOT a "let's hate Skyrim" thread, even though I do. Making threads to hate things is not a good idea. So anyway, DISCUSS!!!

Arena - Got out of the dungeon, walked around for a bit, meh.

Daggerfall - Keep dying in the tutorial :/

Morrowind - OH MY GOD this game. Favorite game ever, uncontested, unbeatable*, unputdownable. Started an Xbox playthrough, and the insane broken-ness of this game is arguably its most enjoyable aspect. I started out by making spells to enchant items to do ridiculous things. I decided to not enchant anything myself until I get Azura's Star, as I think it doesn't break if your enchant fails, but until then, I'm making craptons of money with my Soultrap Silver Sword (try saying that three times fast) and Creeper, and using that to get the following:

 

1. Mark and Recall (already have recall)

2. Divine + Almsivi Intervention

3. Levitation

4. Silence

 

It's going to take some hard work, but it'll be worth it in the end. *continues to barf love of this game*

 

Oblivion: Also an extremely badass game. Playing on the 360 with three characters: an RP-heavy Khajit, a dungeon-dwelling Orc (he's really shiny!) and Morada, my old asshole grandpa mage. Mages in this game are really fun, but WOW does the 360 D-pad make it hard to do hotkeys.

I started with Skyrim, loved it.. couldnt get into Oblivion :/

 

But ESO is headed to console in June i hear, i might get it

The elder scrolls series is one of my favorites. After four years of owning Skyrim I still play it to this day.

Dang, everyone just talked about Skyrim :/

 

Morrowind is my favorite game ever, and Oblivion is my 3rd. And Skyrim's fun sometimes.

I've never really been a PC gamer, but I have played Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim (the last two on console, admittedly).  Skyrim was one of only two PS3 games I platinum'd.  I...  I played it a lot. x3  Daggerfall was the first Elder Scrolls title I was exposed to, and its vastness and freedom of exploration left an impression on me.

Skyrim is my second favorite game ever, and I can still go back to it with each experience feeling fresh. Honestly; it's one of those few games that keeps calling my name for a replay. ^^

 

I own the console version of both Morrowind and Oblivion, but have yet to really dedicate a decent playthrough of either. In the future; hopefully.

I must agree with this wholeheartedly. I grew up with Morrowind, and to this day it is still my favorite game. While it is true that I fully enjoy many other series, The Elder Scrolls has been one that stands out. The exploration, the scenery, the interesting storylines and characters, make it incredibly fun.

While Skyrim is amazing, and modding makes it even more interesting, I still play and enjoy Morrowind more. The graphics have not really held up well, but the story and characters I feel are still more engaging. Not to mention the soundtrack...unf.

 

Of course, all of that could be nostalgia that I have for the game, but hey. What can you do.

Personally like Oblivion's soundtrack better. The best thing about the game has to be the FREEDOM!!!

If the fan made remake for Morrowind ever gets fully up and running I'd be at it in a heartbeat, Seeing those Vvardenfell environments in the skyrim engine.

About Skywind...

 

I really hope they restore the unrestrictive joy that is Morrowind. If they don't (e.g., Levitation, Soul Trap Glitch, etc.) I will burn Skywind to disc, and then burn the disc to ashes.

We'll see I guess. They have the freedom of it basically being for fans of Morrowind who'll enjoy it's complexity, rather then simplifying it for a broader audience as Beth has done since then. Still, it'd be a lot of work for them to make it a perfect replica I think, I don't know how far they plan to go.
