Oblivion may not have been the best of the series, but it sure as hell had the best opening

Yeah it was great OP
>>285872729
Mod it faggot.
Still no amount of modding can turn boring forest into something good, I grant you.
And Morrowind is just too old now to go back to it.
Skyrim is too recent to be replayable.
TESO is a MMO.
Really now is not the time for TES; now is the time to fill the gap with other games until 2020, when Tamriel comes out.

what is wrong with you
>>285872729
>not using a mod to skip the whole thing
>>285874330
It's not Skyrim's recency that keeps it from being replayable (or playable in general).
>>285877059
What is then? Given that it's mechanically and aesthetically the best in the series by a large margin, I mean.

JAWS MOTHERFUCKER, JAWS.
>Guys listen what if... GUYS LISTEN... what if we spend more than 90% of the budget on Sean Bean and Patrick Stewart and use 5 voice actors for the remaining zillion characters?
Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Skyrim are not video games, they are casual playthings.

Man I need to replay Oblivion.
It was my babby's first Scrolls so I have fond memories of it.

>>285877672
what about that one enemy that was clearly overleveled and one shot you
clearly thats something that would only be in a game for hardcore gamers like myself
Why even bother with Oblivion when you can play an objectively better game/mod
>>285878553

Nah I'd advise against that. Oblivion was my first, too, and I loved it, but I replayed it again a couple of months ago. Underwhelming. Disappointing. Almost ruined the memories.
But OP, it was the best Scrolls game
I love Oblivion. It was a good balance of freedom, but within a streamlined game. It had the most interesting quests by far. Skyrim felt too walled in with the mountains. The removal of the crazy jumps/ability to fly really made that worse. The magic in Skyrim was a joke. The A.I. felt worse to me somehow, every fucking dude in charge of a town saying the EXACT same line to you. The lighting was terrible - either blowout highlights with zero color or crushed blacks. The U.I. was boring, "shouts" were largely useless, dragons were uninteresting, the main quest was awful, as were most of the side quests.
so my oblivon fucked up
anvil is nothing but intangible box buildings with no gates anymore
ive played them all far too many times
the world needs a new TES game
>want to play modded oblivion
>look up modding guides for the mods that interest me
>lose any and all interest
Holy shit what a fucking process. I can't be bothered to spend 3 hours to get all this shit working
>>285878553
>Hey guys, lets make every enemy scale with the player, but lets make the "boss" of each dungeon absurdly stronger than the player for difficulty.

I really hope the bethesda thing at E3 isn't all about fallout, Fallout is an infintely more boring setting.
>>285879552
>All those guild quests

>Cities were actually different
Oblivion was a lot of fun, shame about the dungeons,oblivion gates being the same and retarded levelscaling.
I know they will never get it right, but they are the only company making open world fantasy games like this anymore.
>>285874330
The lack of variety it what keeps Skyrim from being replayable. After 30 or so hours there's nothing to do that you haven't already done 50 times already.
>get quest
>go to cave
>fight draugr

Literally 70% of the content in Skyrim
Anyone remember that giant guard who was as big as the gate doors in the intro?
Fucking Bethesda Quality

I don't exactly love Skyrim but you could at least be truthful with your complaints
>>285879884
>it's okay when JRPG do it
>>285880886
No acrobatics skill for sicknasty jumps across buildings
Magic was horrifically balanced to be complete and utter shit in vanilla, you have to mod the shit out of it to make it competative.

>I played this game for at least 50 hours trying to get into it
I wanted to love it so badly, /v/. The intro and the soundtrack are excellent, but the simple combat, poor character models, and uninteresting world held me back from truly enjoying it.
I still don't regret my time playing Oblivion though. Lots of great times fucking around in the Imperial city. Also Shivering Isles was awesome.
>>285880925
JRPG's at least have bosses that do interesting things, or are at least themselves interesting. Not some Draugr with the added "ancient" prefix that means his sword, which looks like all the others does 100x's the damage of other enemies that look just like him.
>>285881262
The post said

Both of which are in the game, he didn't say

Skyrim a shit.
Just started daggerfall the other day. The into is great, would have been amazing if it had a huge actor like patrick stewart
What school of magic made it possible for him to regrow his hair?
>Skyrim is now the same age as Oblivion when Skryim was announced
>>285878390
Dead serious, and Morrowind is what I tend to reply with when asked what my favourite game is.
I can finish any questline whilst heavily drunk.
It's lost its magic for me. Plus, it's old, I get motion sickness from 90s 3D nowadays. I didn't at the time, but maybe I'm getting old.
>>285882252
Bethesda has the potential to bring the fucking house down this year.
Doom, Fallout 4 and the new elder-scrolls could all be announced
![TESO[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/mujkcf8.jpg "TESO[1].jpg")
>>285882486
They won't announce the next Elder Scrolls any time soon, same reason they keep pushing the Fallout 4 announcement.
They want this piece of shit to remain relevant.
>>285882256
>motionsickness from 90ies games
top kek mate
You're not used to 90FOV anymore because every game in the world tunes that to unhumanly degrees down nowadays
>>285882486
I can only handle so much disapointment in a single year
>>285882905
Its already F2P, no point in keeping the illusion of it up.
>>285882905
Not made by Bethesda.

there's mods that turn it back into a jungle or even the Australian outback.
>>285882905
I've heard that Todd Howard hates that piece of shit.
>>285880561
this guy?
That shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit ending.
>>285879552
>The lighting was terrible
man, I don't know if its my monitor or what but when I play Skyrim if I get hit by fire I'm pretty much blind and when it's gone it takes about three seconds for color to return. Is this normal?
>>285874330
I actually liked the forests. There aint many games with a forests that acturally are like fucking forests.
The music was the best.
