Oblivion was better.
Everyone thinks their first exposure to TES was the greatest iteration.
That being said one has to be functionally moronic to think Oblivion was good.
Morrowind was the best. The art direction was unique.
Slowly exploring Vvardenfell is one of the most fun things I've ever done
>Morrowind was the best
Total cliff racer death was the only mantra to abide by
My n'wahs.
Hahahahaha, it was fricking like that too. I remember swearing at the annoying c**ts every few minutes
Skyrim was my first tes and I think oblivion is better therefore your opinion is dogshit
Oblivion was better plus there are mods that add all of Skyrim and Morrowind plus a frick ton of other areas. Mods that let you fly dragons, and have fights in the sky with other dragons.
Oblivion was sooo much better, plus all the sex mods were way better too.
Skyrim is a childs game compared to Oblivion imo.
If you want something to break your addiction to it I suggest you play ARK.
I haven't played Ark since 2016, is it worth it?
yea man there's tons of new maps and new dinos too.
Plus they are remastering it for UE5 and making Ark 2. But I mean it might honestly be unplayable. UE5 is such a shitty engine that needs basically top of the line graphics card to get a stable framerate not to mention Ark alone takes up almost a terabyte of data. Swap that over to UE5 with higher res textures and you might be talking about a 2 terabyte game with just the base map.
There's a bunch I can't remember them all. I had to clear Oblivion out some time ago for space. There's some of the mods on Nexus, some come from loverslab and then to get Morrowind working right you need morroblivion.
Everything needs to have a certain load order, like I said it's pretty time consuming to make it work but when it does it's better than every elder scrolls game combined.
Ark is really fun but with everything it takes up like 250-300GB. GOTDAMN son
Still fun though
What's the mods to add all the Morrowind and Skyrim?
Morrowind has really cool mods like openMW and tamriel rebuilt and tamriel expanded
Le fippy bippy
Captcha XVJKKK
this. skyrim is soul-less and gay. the stupid fricken dragons make it unplayable. I've been playing oblivion, it's way better. looks almost as good with 16x anti aliasing and high settings.
There's mods you can put on Oblivion that make it look better than Skyrim.
The only thing Skyrim really has is better and more fluid character movement. That's really it.
Base games without mods - Oblivion has the better story but Skyrim has better gameplay and graphics.
With mods - forget about it, Oblivion is better without question.
Morrowind = Oblivion = Skyrim = shit.
Literally one and the same game just with better textures.
so what isn't shit? any game you don't hate?
100%
Objectively wrong opinion
This.
Oblivion quest lines are actually engaging interesting.
Skyrim is the same stupid repeat ungeon over and over and dragon spells are gay af
Oblivion is actually straight unplayable without heavy modding due to the busted game mechanics and level scaling. Skyrim is a far better game.
This
Oblivion was nice because of the quests that didn't involve you being a literal god incarnate destined to save the entire world and every single faction of the game, but the gameplay had many major flaws, like level and difficulty scaling
Level scaling was the dumbest thing thing in Oblivion that ruined the entire game for me. Instead of scaling the level of every fricking thing with you, they should have made certain enemies and areas impossible to beat at a given level. You know, how any normal game (or real life) not designed by a moron would have.
That’s not true, you start that game out with Patrick Stewart telling you he saw you in his dreams and implicitly trusts you with the amulet of kings, finding his son, and saving the realm even though you’re in his dungeon for unspecified crimes. Then like the first story quests makes you the revered Hero of Kvatch. In the DLCs you also become a daedric prince and an elf genocidal crusader empowered by the pantheon of gods.
>Then like the first story quests makes you the revered Hero of Kvatch
>doing anything related to main story at the get go
>Narrative says that you're supposed to do this right away
Bethesda Cooper: you're doing it wrong
>Game says to focus on your specialties and level them up
Bethesda Cooper: you're doing it wrong
>Main quest will have you pass obvious dungeons but if you go inside them you'll get low level limited versions of the items
Bethesda Cooper: you're doing it wrong
It's terribly terrible and your objectively wrong it's a lot easier to beat the game at level one as lots of people have figured out there's absolutely no reason to be taking huge stupid demons when you can just be fighting scamps.
You're just going to gate keep yourself from all those power Stones because reasons. It's a mess.
>Skyrim is the same stupid repeat ungeon over and over
That's all of TES and all of Bethesda really. I hate their games style and feel. First person dungeon crawlers, wish they had never bought Fallout.
Can you contrarians just frick off already?
Gothic was better
Actual gamer
A man of taste.
Oblivion was trash. Morrowind was the peak of Bashitsda. And BTW, Fallout New Vegas shits all over anything Bashitsda has ever come up with.
fallout nv was made by bethesda, lmao.
It was made by Obsidian for Bethesda, using their buggy shit game engine. The same way they made KOTOR 2 for Bioware.
either way you're moronic. whilst fallout is fun it's depressing and shitty. oblivion the forest and environments are really aesthetically pleasing. You don't see games like that today, where everything is just depressing bullshit, ie fallout. they should do fallout but with trees and forests. the trees and forests are gonna survive anything where people survive and a whole lot more. they just took out the trees and forests to demoralize people.
And because it's easy and low effort
Look at Chernobyl that place is green as frick with wildlife everywhere, people even live there now and you can't detect radiation anymore which means the whole ideas surrounding fake nukes is bullshit
>and you can't detect radiation anymore
fake geiger counters then? lying travel youtubers? cause i've seen videos of tourists in there with geiger counters. or maybe they're planting uranium to fake it? or maybe whater smug moron on youtube conspiracy vids you're watching is full of shit? many possibilities
There's no real radiation otherwise plants and animals wouldn't be in massive abundance, those Geiger memes are designed to fool low IQ moron who think beeps are scary cause they see it in movies
That Fallout game fricking blows. 1/10 game.
nah it's decent. there's this huge fan made mod called the new frontier that takes you to portland, i'm going to be playing soon. if it wasnt for that i wouldn't even have re installed it tho.
Ooooh haven’t heard of that. I’m waiting for the Nuevo Mexico mod coming out soon
Daggerfall was way better than Morrowind.
this, i posted above already regarding dungeons, but main story in dagerfall was more engaging and imo much better than skyrim or oblivion. morrowing story is fine.
I remember feeling disappointed in Morrowind, and reading the in-game books, all they got were the hand me downs. The good part were the daedra, and the bad part it was that they removed the mystery on summoning daedra princes like before. Oblivion was a mess.
they have been consistently dumbing down most aspects of the game even since daggerfall. morrowind is imo still okay but the games fall of a cliff after that.
skyrim is without copius amount of mods that enchance and depeen gameplay unenjoyable
The thing i can give Morrowind is that, on that year, i remember cooming while battling Hircine, which is my favorite daedra. That and Almalexia quest were good. On Skyrim what i enjoyed were the execution animations and the cheat free magic that it was the thu'um. The rest is... pointless, since you're destined to curbe stomp the game.
in the skyrim i liked the vampire dlc questline the most, it actually gave me the comfy feeling i was hoping to get. but thats about it. i still hate how they removed spellmaking which was great fun in morrowind
as for daedra and their quests they are usualy fun and good (above average) in most elder scrolls games but to me nothing that special.
this is the only appropriate opinion
morrowind>skyrim>oblivion
fallout new>fallout 3&4
frick bethesda
long live obsidian
Maybe just delete that last line, bud.
everything else you said was good.
Oblivion is best though
Oblivion WAS better, but only if you take mods into account.
That saif Oblivion has superior main quest line, with cool twists and overall intrigue. Skyrim is boring in comparison, the civil war is more like a moronic scuffle between teenage street gangs, the dragon shit quest line is just uninspiring.
Mods make Oblivion both better in graphics and mechanics, while adding lots of new content (such as OOO or MMM mods) and solving the derpiness of gameplay and character design.
Oblivion is larger, more diverse, with better variety of dungeons and ruins. Skyrim is all grey/brown, tundra everywhere, all dungeons are the same albeit better looking than Oblivion ones.
Anyway TES games shouldn't be compared out of the box - without mods none of them are worth playing to begin with.
Spot on.
OOO is GOAT, i replayed the game using an XP levelling system and it actually encourages you to do as many sidequests as possible
Dumb take. Soon we'll have Oblivion IN Skyrim.
Fibby pibby
Oblivion had better quests and dungeons but you had to mod it to make it playable. The leveling system was straight up moronic and if you did it wrong you could end up with with basically a broken game with dmg sponge rats because of level scaling. Skyirim was better out of the box.
The people who say morrowind are all nostalgia homosexuals.
>but you had to mod it to make it playable
That is every elder scrolls, they all are broken jank messes at launch.
Hell it took until the unity remaster of daggerfall for the game to be able to read the height map data in the game world. It was never intended that the map be totally flat but the vanilla engine is incapable of reading the file properly.
Yeah every bethesda games gets a lot better with mods, no arguments from me.
But skyrim is at least playable for console peasants, oblivion is just broken.
Morrowwind was better.
Daggerfall was better.
Pong was better
The fact that Fallout fans desperately want new games while Elder Scrolls fans never keep asking for TES6 really makes you wonder
TES6 will almost certainly be bad, there’s no conceivable way to follow up on Skyrim without just making the map bigger or spending a whole decade making quests by hand. That’s even assuming you don’t manage to poz the setting. GTA6 will be garbage but people will eat it up because le wacky humor and multiplayer but if TES6 isn’t a RPG that can last 20 years and not piss off autists it’s fricked
TES3 > TES5 > TES4
i dunno seems plenty of autists are pissed at skyrim itt
>TES6 will almost certainly be bad, there’s no conceivable way to follow up on Skyrim without just making the map bigger or spending a whole decade making quests by hand.
Make a "make your own quest competion, winners get digital deluxe collection collectors edition and chance to work as a dev"
100k nerds send in their quests, some are probably good. Implement with ai, mix and match. Wont be any worse then the "go to x and kill y" quests.
>Half the quests is either #RedGuardsMatter, how the brave Khajiit refugees saves the day or some obvious self insert troony trying to romance your character
Nah senpai, I don't trust the gaming community to not make the gaygiest quests possible. You just know they'll remove the quest where you exterminate 6000000 Argonians as well.
Argonians
>not 6000000 Altmer (high elves)
Dagerfall was better you fricking Black person.
someone post the best oblivion mods and morrowind mods please
does this have mods?
I heard it was good
>someone post the best oblivion mods and morrowind mods please
Just get the all time highest rated on nexus. Once you get those to run you can worry about getting more.
I just downloaded a user created mod packet of over 400 mods
Oblivion had better quests but there's much more to do in Skyrim.
This. Ordered a gpu upgrade and took time off work.
Oblivion was very good. Although the fricking gates got so fricking repetitive and gay.
>enter gate
>nothing but red
>frick that
True. Skyrim I quickly got bored but Oblivion made me want to complete it
Morrowind
No, shitty unpolished combat mechanics hold it back
BASADO
Gta san andreas was better
Agreed. Skyrim dungeons were shit and Draugrs on repeat. Oblivion had tons of soul, plus the cult questline and spellcrafting were both GOAT. Dagoth Ur is best villain tho.
skyrim is barely a TES game at all
>flyiiiing flyiing in the skyyyyy
>cliffracers flyyyyyy sooooo hiiiiiiggghhhh
>flyinggg
lol
all the voice actors in oblivion were great except the redguards.
no it's not because "hurrr Black folk", it's because the redguard VAs can't read their lines for shit, especially the female one and same goes for one of the female dark elf VAs.
Getting ass fricked by carry weight is so fun
Black folk
The problem is that you are limiting yourself to the PC version of skyrim. Try it on the PS5 or on the Xbox one. Lots of new gaming experiences!
Switch version is literally the best version
How so? It can’t be modded
Shut up Todd
The CIA took over the entire wetern gaming development. They repurposed all of the content to push globohomo. Why do you think there are so many forced ugo females as main characters? Why do you think so many male gamers are going trans? It surely has nothing to do with an intelligence agency tricking mass mkultra mindfricked men into spending hundreds of hours pretending to be stronk female characters. Frick this gay earth
always made a female character on RPGs because it's nice to look at, never turned me into a troony nor made me believe the females are strong IRL.
Babble noted
This actually
I noticed it when oblivion came out and it was worse than Morrowind in every possible way
I couldn't even use spears
How is that possible
I started playing STO recently and I made my character a sexy Vulcan space bawd with a ponytail because I have to stare at her ass for half the game
Ugly female characters are bluepilled, on this I agree. Sexy, naked female characters? That's redpilled
Morrowind > Oblivion > Skyrim
Some even say Daggerfall is the best, if you can get over the clunky aspects.
Morrowind's lore is awesome and it has some much more fleshed out role-playing options (e.g. the dialogue), but it's objectively a much worse game in pretty much every other respect. If you take off the rose-colored glasses it's got a lot of really janky issues that were fixed. Oblivion is a halfway point obviously. For example the jank way that leveling/sleep was handled which requires tediously keeping up with leveling, completely undermining the whole "level as you use it" idea which was subsequently mostly fixed in Skyrim. Some things in Skyrim are still jank like needing to make a billion iron daggers for smithing.
There are definitely a lot of things to love about those games, but when so many people disagree with you (pretty much everyone not nerding out on gaming forums would order those three games the opposite) you should step back and ask yourself why. The answer is that you're ignoring the massive shortcomings of the older games because you played them when you were a kid or 16 and stoned or whatever.
>There are definitely a lot of things to love about those games, but when so many people disagree with you (pretty much everyone not nerding out on gaming forums would order those three games the opposite) you should step back and ask yourself why.
Holy shit, the masses think something is good?! We all know that quality is the interaction between a mass of idiots and what they're consuming. Just like Avengers and Wonder Woman were masterpieces of film! There couldn't possibly be reasons why someone could like Morrowind more because they absolutely improved everything in Skyrim right?
oblivion is a good balance between morrowind and skyrim
At the time Morrowind came out, it blew everything out of the water. Oblivion was awesome as well. Would probably be more popular than Skyrim if it came out at the same time with the same graphics. Controls are better.
Skyrim's best version is post Creation Club. Survival mode makes food not junk and makes the game harder like Morrowind.
Skyrim would play better if it had ESO's controls. Skyrim is great but I wish it played like Elder Scrolls Online. ESO has the best control scheme in the Elder Scrolls franchise.
Daggerfall is actually far more like a roguelile game when it gets down to it. Daggerfall Unity remake is the greatest roguelile ever created tbqh famalama.
Tried playing morrowind recently and thought it was too outdated to enjoy. Oblivion is still awesome but I would love to see a remastered version with mods.
you cna play morrowind on new engine called openmw. also some mods that have some nice quiality of life features to make morrowind good in this day and age
Thanks for the advice.
jsut google or watch some yt videos. thers plenty still happening on morrowind modding scene. obivously you will want vanilla gameplay so you jsut google some modfixing openmw tutorials mate
The most overrated game of all time, Black folk tongue my anus.
What is this .webm? Are those Sami?
Those are Sami residing in Norway Finnfren.
What are they doing though?
Is she castrating that reindeer?
yeah. savages
>he eats ultraprocessed castrated pork
>its just diffent
Yeah, it's not part of any ISO standard to have a pig's balls bitten off by a snow-e-girl for one
What the frick?
Sami's are disgusting fricking people that are getting air time in Sweden. Even if some Sami woman get raped by somalians she blames white Swedes.
She wouldn't be entirely wrong, it wasn't the Sami that opened the gates to Hell letting the dark ones in.
Correct it was ZOG who did that.
Still the Sami are too narcissistic for me, thinking themselves special.
I suspect there is some dysfunctional trauma bonding within those groups.
Frick you, pay reparations Sven.
Are they real or are they LARPers with some degree of mixed ancestry?
>Sami
Wtf are even sami? Myh sami heritage. Muh 100 year old traditions.They are 100% larping. 100%. The ones i have seen look exactly like swedish people, with blue eyes, blonde hair, etc. Even famous lapps like Sofia jannok and maxida märak look like typical swedish roasties. No. I'm not having it anymore.
>tfw no northern european trvdwife witv knvfe
>skyrim is the peak of gaming
Frick off homosexual. These nostalgia baiting videos are a genre of their own on YouTube.
>medieval fantasy
Yawn, miss me with that gay shit. I only like modern or Sci fi.
I'm in skyrim VR at windhelm bridge
levelling up sucks and so far I'm not going to mod
>Skyrim with no mods
>skyrim vr with no mods
He's double moronic
I like to play the game as the developers intended before moding
The shittiness of Skyrim killed gaming. I to this day have not played more than 5 hours of that game before I become insanely bored and shelf it. I've 100% Morrowind and Oblivion, frick this pozzed moron game.
I find dungeons to be pretty immersive when you take them slow
>the dungeons that always wrap back around to the beginning like an amusement park ride
>immersive
Holy shit
Get a better imagination
>It's immersion!
>anon points out every dungeon loops back on itself instead of making you backtrack like an actual cave or castle would
>g-get a better imagination
You know what they could have done? Not remove the mark and recall spells
in skyrim you cant even make your own spells..
talk about a step backwards
Making your own spells in Morrowind was so fun
Look at those replies those are your average Skyrim enjoyers. It makes a lot of sense now it's like the call of duty of RPGs. As far as Oblivion it was ahead of its time but how does she give you for leveling up was pretty funny.
>Make conjuror
>Conjure in the inn for a couple hours
>I'm at the absolute endgame now.
I hope you didn't enter that dungeon too early or the bis item is now trash. -Toddvelopment. I can't get excited for the space hype when the last space RPG by omg muh Obsidian looked like such shit. I hope you're ready for space to be strong kind diverse lesbians and evil white men. Wait for there to not even be female bandits I mean space not bandits they're original! They have glass arm- I mean ceramsteel space suits.
vivec is running in 2024, im voting for him
Soon.
>AND GET EXCITED FOR NEXT PRODUCT
Starfield is gonna bomb so hard and you preorder cucks are gonna seethe so hard lmao
Man, I can't wait to be dissapointed
who gives a shit about no citizens field? TES6 should have been prioritised over a literal le heckin spacerino rpg. I have been waiting for over a decade to perhaps see the Dwemer again and the final prophecy, the return of the Nerevarine from Akavir or the Numidium destroying the Talmor who are trying to restart a Kulpa.
Nah I like space fluff, I'm happy we're seeing more of it and especially in RPG style.
Then play no mans sky or the many other shitty space sims from this and last decade. Bethesda wienered up by realising gay Black folk in outer space instead of the Elder Scrolls 6, I will CHIM it into existence anyways
Kek
See you the day 6/11/2023.
I hope the scene doesnt dissapoint, if you catch my frigling drift.
Just got my 7950x3d installed and ready to go
That's a really low bar for gaming
That awful shit game is for fricking animals like any other bethesda game. I could drag my dick across thw keyboard and create a better game
You can't even make a functioning society lmao Black person stfu
A game as fantastic as Skyrim will never been seen again. Bloody, visceral. Open racism.
I played it through at least 4 times.
My only complaint about it is the monster AI is the same for all creatures. Spiders, vampires, humans, all have the same behavior.
I enjoyed that they largely presented racism as part of the immigration issue, and not in an overly reductionist way. Lots of people kneejerked to "Stormcloaks bad" but it wasn't really that simple as they presented it.
It's because the engine can't handle processing multiple types of AI fighting all at once, so everyone gets to share the same AI (except dragons, they got their own slightly different behaviour sets)
That old ass engine would fall apart if it tried to run different behaviour patterns for each unique creature type.
Morrowind was good, Oblivion and Skyrim both suck and 6 will likely be Hammerfell and will likely suck. A shame because Elder Scrolls lore and races are cool, some good potential there.
>Greatness
>The most dumbed down, streamlined, casualised normie piece of shit RPG that has ever existed that made me quit video gaming forever
I can tell you got the covid-19 vaccine and wore a mask like a lobotomised moron from your opinions alone

AND THEY SAY THAT A HERO CAN SAVE US
NPC response. Read another book, troony.
He died of miocarditis yes?
Bethesda's only saving grace's are that they are very good at making environments, and make their games very easy to mod.
Skyrim was fricking boring
so tired of fake "open world" garbage from Bethesda.
it's a good game.
RDR2 is better imo
>playing social justice cowboy sim
soiboi detected
More like genocider of Black folk and females.
You talk like you have no philtrum
What did skyrim have like 40 quests or some shit?
Yeah great game
Bethesda's policy is quite literally the "Build your own fricking game" meme
WTF you talking about, Skyrimjob is crap
Meh
allegedly baldurs gate is the next skyrim, supposed to be groundbreaking, a new standard, but all i know about it is a gay has sex with a bear. not a great first impression.
starfield as well allegedly the next skyrim. very ambitious, looking to be mod friendly, bathesda and todd again.
but for me, its star citizen. yes its buggy as frick and may never be completed, still slaps
>Tard Shit-again
i really liked skyrim
it was like being inside a fantasy novel
>baldurs gate is the next skyrim
Baldur's Gate is a top-down perspective game using outdated garbage click-to-move mechanics that should've been abandoned by the time the 90's ended, I fricking hate how many games which I would otherwise find pretty interesting are still using it. You can't compare it to Skyrim at all.
i didn't know. yeah doesn't sound immersive
>click to move is outdated
>in a crpg

Filtered.

>things oblivion did better

Uhhh hmm i mean the leveling system is better i guess
It was the israeli ideals that prevailed in the gaming industry and if you're not a npc it's easy to see them since they all literally did monkey see and monkey do along with ~~*monkey advisors*~~ telling them shit ideals whilst claiming it's popular or some shit. I don't know but somebody told them it would be good capital somewhere otherwise these greedy fricks who don't want to do a real job would have just made their games the way THEY WANTED since it's their game. Oh wait? Don't work like that in some organizations? HAH! What a JOKE!!! Communism doesn't even work in business.
TES is only semi good with mods and shit without mods
Elden Ring is 10/10
Darks Souls 10/10
Dark Souls 3 10/10
Bloodbourne 11/10
in other words as long as you're not a complete vegana and want some easy homosexual hold your hand walk in the park playstyle type game then you should enjoy Fromsoftware and there madness.
elden ring is absolute ported trash.
i played it for like 3 minutes before i realized they didn't have a way to change controls for keyboard and mouse. console users are real low lifes.
getgud then.
Skill issue
>subhuman couch potato console user detected.
oink oink
lmao you seriously cant train your brain to adapt to play in some other way? I prefer controller but if i have to play a kb+mouse with dozens of keys involved i practice and do it.
>I find nothing that came after it worth playing
Wow, thats a bit of a stretch
I love all of them but Bloodborne is one of a kind.
Yeah Bloodborne is kinda insane. Haven't played DS1 and Elden Ring yet tho. Don't know when I can, but I hope soon.
What made me quit the game
>Run through a dungeon
>Find a water pool
>Look on it
>Iron sword of fire
>Wow, it's actually neat they hid something here
>Later in game get a quest for cave
>Look inside the pool
>Glass sword of fire
>Nope
>Realize the game is just randomly generated garbage with quests sprinkled on it
>Read through people finding hidden shit in the game
>They found evidence of camps under the map, which point to some sort of tool that randomly generated terrain and props all over the map
Also people seem to forget Bethesda didn't even have races a two months before launch, the game came out ducttaped together.
i've been stuck on playing GTA SA for nearly 20 years now and played it on every single device imaginable. I find nothing that came after it worth playing.
Now if you would excuse me, i'm going out for a night ride in the forests with k-rose playing on the radio.
also, frick the new "definitive" edition.
>k-rose
Based. That station introduced me to a lot of good music.
>MUH Oblivion better
It seems like you can't have any discussion on pol anymore.
No other game lets me eat cheese in my naked-slave adorned living room
And then after that what? This kind of shit gets boring inmediately. Skyrim wasnt bad. I played a lot. It just wasnt that that great.
I actually dont think Bethesda games are that much of a hot shit i dont know why /misc/ shills it constantly.
i cheated in skyrim. gave myself unlimited mana potions and just used lightning fingers like palpatine on everything. i'm pretty lazy.
The Outer Worlds is pretty good. It’s like if a Bethesda RPG had a baby with Borderlands.
Skyrim was shit. Yes it was nice open source environment, but the story, or lack of it, was quite unpleasant. It was technically just a open source environment horse riding playground.
>open source environment
Do you mean open world environment?
Wtf does a Finn know about storytelling? Show me one great work of fiction or video game made by a Finn or Finnish people.

Kekkonkekken Kakkonikekken, ever heard of it dumbass?
different kinds of games appeal to different kinds of players. there are grown men who have logged 1000 hours on minecraft even though there is no plot at all
Even minecraft is deeper than elder scrolls. Instead of random quests and caves, it gradually becomes more difficoult, how deep you go. Until you find the dragon that you slay with the equipment you did yourself.
Elder scrolls is just open world and they hired diversity hires to fill it with random stories and scripted yet somewhat random dragon encounters
>scripted yet somewhat random dragon encounters
I dont think you know skyrim very well
Skyrim was pony simulator
Played it for 20-30 hours maybe, never finished the main quest, got bored with the copy pasted dungeons and leveled loot, tried modding, installed big titty nude mods, started skyrim, ended up jerking off instead, tried to start up skyrim again, big breasts everywhere, jerk offd yet again
Last time I tried to sit down and play skyrimbi was so fricking bored that I didn't even leave the tutorial cave before uninstalling
And this was in 2015
RuneScape will forever be the GOAT. I feel bad for people who never got to trade in word 1 or 2
> Can anyone match the brilliance of the Elder Scrolls series?
Final Fantasy XI
Hands down the best MMORPG of all time and nothing has ever come close.
Asheron's Call was a way better MMORPG but FFXI was 2nd and all MMOs after have been regression of the form or craft and I don't understand why
Asheron's Call was beyond anything ever since for any game and FFXI was unique in it's own way and all other games now are literal wow clones which was a dumbed down version of every MMO before it
it was magical wasnt it
It's moronic that Skyrim doesn't have spears in it.
There's not even a hand to hand Skill in Skyrim, not sure I've ever seen an RPG that terrible to lack so many basic features. What I found strange even with mods there's no way to have anything like vats I just want to be able to pump a few arrows into somebody without having to play flinch gaming. Normally in an RPG you tell your character what to do and then they do it. The engine shows it's perfectly still capable of it with its kill cam but it'll only go slow motion for that. Call of duty flinch feature a killcam.
Fallout 4 is objectively better yet only gets shit on.
skyrim is really really great but I got tired of it
dragon age origins has had more long term appeal
Skyrim was weird. The first week of playing it was intoxicating. It felt massive at the time with lots of nooks and crannies and side quests and homes and companions all that. But by the end of the week, or maybe 2 weeks, the flaws become really dominating. The same 5 voice actors, the horiffic melee combat system, the dominance of Enchanting against every other skill, the hideous textures and animations, the copypasta nature of the dungeons, the shallowness of the AI, the awful dialogue. It becomes too much to bear. Only modding could hold your interest, and modding Skyrim is like getting a job.
idgaf
too busy being racist in the text chat in ESO
Skyrim was fantastic peak gaming… until I played Morrowind and then realized everything has been a pale imitation since then.
also f u OP with your one post
Anyone who has addiction problems with Skyrim needs to go play ARK.
You will never go back to Skyrim again.
Skyrim is a shitty game compared to stuff we have now.
Nostalgia is for homosexuals.
name a game newer than skyrim that isnt literally full of homosexuals snd made by homosexuals
Morrowind > Oblivion > Skyrim.
The fact that Morrowind hasn't been remade with a newer engine or at least polished graphics/combat is a fricking travesty.
It has been. If you have Oblivion you can add Morrowind and Skyrim to it with all the quests. Also you can add a bunch of other areas too. Basically the entire world of TES can be added filled with monsters, npcs, and quests. Huge huge pain in the ass to make it work right but if you manage to get it working it's really cool due to modded graphics.
Used to that, uscuros or w/e it was called overhaul, deadly combat, darker dungeons etc. Pretty easy, then you added more shit like velenwood and all kinds of shit and it started to crash and you spent more time trying to find new mods ans getting it to run then playing the game.
What are the mods needed?

>The fact that Morrowind hasn't been remade with a newer engine
But it has. There's literally an entire open source C++ engine rewrite called OpenMW and it runs the game better than the native engine ever did.
>Muh role playing gay
Play real games like strategy games homosexual.
Graphics are a bit dated, finally
Observer system redux is good. Sons of the forest is very, very good
Skyrim was just the last peak of late 2000s gaming everything else is subpar. Skyrim wasn’t the best game that would have to be AC2 or Crysis but Skyrim is tiers ahead of any modern video game and you can tell by the seethe in the troonposts.
>Skyrim peak game
Absolute fricking casual. Skyrim is a fisher price RPG with a luckluster story.
Oblivion has a broken leveling system and ruined Cyrodilll. I want moth-priests and rice fields as well as a Nibenese/Colovian divide. Not generic medieval fantasy. The main quest is really cool when you figure out the hidden meaning behind it.
Morrowind is the superior game out of the three 'modern' Elder Scrolls games, and is the best game in the series in my opinion.
Skyrim isn't even that beloved beyond tiddy mods anyways. The engine is great for modding, but that's the only thing it has going for it. Considering Morrowind now has an open source engine, it is a matter of time before it competes with Skyrim and wins. And, Skywind is actually showing significant progress.
>The main quest is really cool when you figure out the hidden meaning behind it.
Which is what
Basically, Dagon WANTED to lose. His whole plan was not to take over Nirn, but rather to engineer a complete wipe-out of the Septim dynasty. This is because Dagon is the Daedric Prince of War and Revolution.
And, the kicker is...he got exactly what he wanted. The Empire has fallen into disarray, warfare is common. The strife and conflict even has spread to Skyrim with the civil war there.
Dagon won if you play the main quest.
This is why he was brutal towards the Mythic Dawn by the way. He despises them for being bootlickers instead of embracing Dagon's actual dogma. Dagon wants chaotic types that rebel against authority, not worship Mankar's ass. And, the fact that they don't even fight back against their torture pisses him off even more.
PatricianTV talks about it in much greater detail and better than I do, but yeah. The main quest had so much potential. It just needed those subtle points to be less subtle, and to make Mankar an Elven extremist who wanted to restore Ayleid society, complete with Daedra worship, instead of making Ayleids only relevant with the Knights of the Nine DLC.
The world on the other hand, make it like how it was described before Oblivion. The Southeastern half and the Imperial City should be jungles with rice fields, inhabited by tattooed religious Nibenese types. The Northwestern half should be more Mediterranean with stoic, Roman style Colovians.
Hell, if you go by the old lore, the time of Skyrim should have a civil war between the Colovians and Nibenese, considering the Colovians are pretty much diet-Nords and have a massive devotion to MIGHTY TALOS. (The Nords didn't even worship Talos as Talos, they worshiped him with a different name, having their own pantheon.)
>Skyrim
>greatness
it was the most overrated trash RPG of all times
Skyrim only became good when you installed the sex slave and the vore mod. Something about NPC's stripping themselves naked so you can inspect them like the piece of meat they are is always based.
Skyrim fricking sucked, Zoomer. have a nice day.
Skyrim was a mediocre game. What it excelled at was an ambience simulator. The landscape, the lore, the musical score, the memorable characters and dialogue, the vaguely Nordic-Germanic details carved into axes and armor, the subtle references to medieval literature, all of it adds up to something that really strikes a medieval fantasy note that nothing else comes close to and I actually think it appeals to some of us as Westerners than it might for non-Westerners.
yes, it was the feeling of being in that world more then anything else that did it for me for that game
I know video essays are lame as hell but this video essay is pretty good precisely because it articulated this topic, which you see come up online every now and then, really well.
Elder scrolls has probably the deepest lore out of any game franchise. The deeper you get you see it gets less and less high fantasy and more dark fantasy sci fi even, each era the tech gets worse, they had spaceships iirc in the first era. The Daedra are basically Chaos Gods too. I think a game set in the c0da would be amazing.
your ai waifu of the future is a skyrim companion mod
the voice is too robotic
well yeah, this is pretty early days for this sort of thing. its not polished but its a glimpse of things to come npcs are getting an upgrade
>watched this video today
>a console player
>found a fricking nirnroot after several hundred hours into the game
>probably his first tes game
stopped watching halfway, console peasants lmao
the live action commercial for skyrim was pretty cool
>playing ~~*western*~~ games in the current year + 8
I moved to based nippon gaming over a decade ago, never looking back. israelitethesda in particular is an overrated company. Buggy engine, Todd "sweet little lies" Howard (who could be israeli and i wouldn't be surprised), "mods will fix it" just make your own game mentality. I am not giving a cent nor any more minute of my time to that company, i mostly pirate my games anyway
>Verification not required
Morrowind was best. I still go back and play that once a year
Feels like thr last good game to came out before woke shit took everything over I don't play games anymore but dreading how Elder Scrolls 6 is going to look because of today's climate
Todd is a real gamer, he can skirt around most of the woke shit because of character creation. Want more troony/gay/poc representation? Then make it yourself.
I really wanted to like skyrim but I got bored very fast. It sounds fun being in a big sandbox but for some reason I didn't enjoy very much.
>ITT boring contrarian homosexuals trying to downplay the greatest open world RPG franchise
>it's popular therefore i can feel superior to everyone by hating it
many such cases
Morrowind was the last good elder scrolls. Prove me wrong.
>see dungeon in skyrim
>go in
>its linear path where you can't take any wrong turn
>at the end of each dungeion theres convinent shortcut to the begining so you don't even need to fricking backtrack
its game for moronic 80iq non-whites or for 10 year old kids.
Bro hes probably a paki.
i miss dagerfall dungeions. imagine what one could do with todays tech in procedurla generation.
im almost tempted to perhaps learn a game engine and apply my programing skills and make some dungeon crawler with expansive and complex dungeions. however i would have no idea how to approach combat mechanics.
but i absolutely loathe the modern dungeon design if you can even call it that.
Why would you wanna backtrack thru the whole dungeon, especially dwemer ones
its not that i wan't to backtrack. i want complex dungeions where one cna take wrong turns or has dead turns in design and sometimes some backtracking so its not all linear path.
its boring otherwise
for example look at dagerfall dungeon. now dagerfall dungeons had problems too by being just spagheti halls and rooms but thats limitation of technology back then. imagine complex dungeon design with versatility and verticality which could be possible today, if only game developers didn't casualize everything and dumb it down for non-whites and kids or women.
Dwemer, ayleid and huge towers where better with the no backtracking. But it made sense because of they where built. Caves on the other hand are a bit different, having all of them loop back to the entrance is just bad foe immersion.
This, some dead ends are good.
get rekt nerd. I play skyrim exclusively when drunk and I absolutely appreciate this feature
something like pic related but with more verticality and more unique rooms would be perfect
Skyrim really is the greatest
The only game I'm interested in playing is Rust. It's also one of the few remaining titles that has a community that is "TOXIC" enough to make me smile and want to take part.
Nothing like getting hit on the back of the head by a naked man while he calls you a homosexual, only to respawn and club him to death with a mediaeval spiked mace. I feel like I belong in Rust servers.
Skyrim wasn't as good as Oblivion or Morrowind
but it is a quite comfy game indeed
Skyrim was great. I took a week off work just to play it the week it came out. Great experience. It's the kind of game you need to really immerse yourself in. Like, 12 hours a day at least to get the proper experience. Later I installed a bunch of porn mods and couldn't play the game without fapping and losing interest.
>I installed a bunch of porn mods and couldn't play the game without fapping and losing interest.
Exactly, thats what i say, when you reach the point of needing those types of mods to play, you are already on the path of leaving to another shit.
>60 hours in skyrim
>over 2k hours in my steam copy of Morrowind, not including my Xbox copy and original pc disc copy I played on my older computer
Anyone played ESO recently? Played for the first couple of years on console, but stopped because pvp was a shitshow.
Elder scrolls has been dumbing down their game since morrowwind. I strongly suspext the next scrolls gsme is going tk be a major disappointment becsuse they will finally have dumbed it down too far
Skyrim and Oblivion were too stale for me. But gameplay of Skyrim was of course very good. Morrowind for me will always hold first place. I think the only thing that would let me replay Skyrim is that Skywind mod that seems pretty close to release. Although it's been in production for like a decade now.
The problem with Skyrim is that you're destined to be the boss of everything and every skill which gets boring and predictable unless you castrate yourself larping.
1 playthrough is enough to do everything.
I always quit playing because I became a fricking god even on the hardest difficulty. I have gone back and played using a couple of builds from the Skypothesis YT channel. As long as you stop leveling at their recommended level, it isn't too bad.
I got the extra enemies multiplier mod and put it way high, dungeons were crazy and piles of bodies lying around everywhere.
I also got multiple dragons and unique elemental dragon mods.
It was fun moving looted bodies around and piling them ontop of eachother
People actually saying oblivion has better dungeons than skyrim LMAO. They’re right about the better quests though.
Once I reached the point I no longer had to grind, loot and sell gear, I stopped caring. From there, I hustled through the main quest and didn't bother finishing the DLCs
the only thing wrong with oblivion and skyrim is set ugrids to load 5, which makes objects and complex land features load in like 50 yards away from you, which is ridiculous. it needs to be scalable so that our better computers can utilize their performance. i want to be able to set it to like ugrids to load 15 without it crashing
Morrowind was better in every way except graphics
>tries to hit a cliff racer
Good thing my boy whatshisface genocided that entire species
Im an skyrim enjoyer too.
My first playthrough was with a khajiit in a pirated copy on the first release of the game in 11/11/2011.
Today im playing the wabbajack modlist Lost legacy (no boobas sorry) thanks me later.
And for boobas Nefaram, thanks me later twice fren.
The most fun I ever managed to have with Skyrim was modding in weather and survival features, alternate start, grafix mods to hell and back, and just playing as a wandering hunter. It was max comfy. Base Skyrim is not a very good game if we're being completely honest.
For me it's
>mod skyrim to hell and back with immmersion rustic mods
>mod days on end testing if everything works while going through the game
>start new gameplay with everything installed
>wow.png
>quit after 15 minutes
I'm playing Sim Settlements Chapter 3 right now (it just came out last night). It is fricking kino.
Every studio is like this now
>We couldn't do what we wanted because of resource limitations
>Game is unfinished, but but has replayability
>You can tell the developers enjoyed making it
15 years later
>We couldn't do what we wanted because of budgetary limitations/this is what we REALLY intended all along (cut corners cope)
>It's 25%+ shorter
>They add gamemodes nobody gives a shit about
>The game is unfinished, the developers don't even bother to patch out game breaking bugs, you'll uninstall it and then never think about it again
The best part was Morrowind. I dont want to hear your copes
elden ring killed skyrim for me.
Breath of the Wild is better.
I prefer the Gothic series to the Elder Scrolls (not including that dumpster fire that was 'Forsaken Gods'
Gothic 2 >>> Skyrim
Also all the previous Elder Scrolls games (except Arena) are better then Skyrim.
Gothic 1, 2 and 3(with community patch, without expansion(rights were sold to pooBlack person "developers")) is the best. Gothic 3 xarxas ending is the best ending. There is nothing to do in this world. Pack up and leave, antarctica, maybe.
>get vampirism
>Wait one hour 30 minutes before sunrise
>Dead
>Last save was an hour ago
Kingdom Come Deliverance was better
once I discovered soulsborne games, bethesda games just felt hollow to me. started with elden ring and working my way back.
The Secret World if it wasn't unfinished and now worse than dead - as Secret World Legend is a dumbed down edition and people will play it and leave, thinking they've experienced the real thing. It was quite different from anything I've played since. I've just bought several of the ES games in hope of filling the void. Is ESO worth it as well?
Witcher 3 was genuinely better
a walk through ooga booga neighbourhoods in Berlin are 100% more hardcore. but not for the faint of heart
