I must say, I've probably played more Skyrim than morrowind and oblivion combined!

To the OP, yes!
Skyrim did not have that TES addiction imo...
After the first two days i even wasn't too excited to play it everyday, it was more like a nice way to kill time. With the others, i couldn't wait to get on that pc and see what would be coming next even after months of playing.

No, I'm not bored yet. It actually lasted longer than oblivion.

I'm not bored with Skyrim yet. On the otherhand, I was bored with Oblivion about this same time. I guess it might have something to do with the variety dungeons / caves / ruins vs the bland and uninspired offering from before.

Because unlike the previous game, I've found that most of them has some sort of a story to tell.... even if these stories are not in my quest log.

I don't know if i am bored. I just don't feel "at home" in Skyrim. I like the game world and yet, there is something missing... really can't explain what it is, but Oblivions/Morrowinds game worlds had something that Skyrim hasn't.

Considerably more interested in Skyrim than I was in Oblivion, DF or Arena in a little over a month after first getting them. Since I still enjoy playing MW it'll be a while before I can answer the question with regard to MW but so far Skyrim isn't boring me, quite the opposite.

Yes i did, skyrim just felt meh to me, morrowind was fun, oblivion had some good quest lines with the guilds. however skyrim the guilds feel like they force you into the lead position way to fast, i remember morrowind where it took forever to get as grandmaster and even than you had to deside between theifs guild and fighter guild due to conflicts. Lets not forget how boring most the world is in skyrim when compared to the lush forests of cyridle or the swamps and ash mountains of morrowind.

lol, you must be joking


I think you need to lay off the ol' grog for a while until your brain clears!

I paused my skyrim for later, when I feel like to play it again.

Yes

Nope. I got bored quicker in Oblivion than Skyrim. Morrowind / Skyrim are to me- good games which are still keeping me entertained.

I'd say yes.

I'm playing games that are over 3 years old instead of playing Skyrim, so I would have to say a resounding YES to that question. Actually, I stopped playing it in January so it's only lasted me 2 1/2 months at most.

I finished the main quest in Skyrim and the mages quest line but now I can't get myself interested into playing it. Will I try it again? Maybe once the DLC is out, depending on what the DLC is.

There has been so much stripped from Skyrim that it's just a TES shell at best.

Yes. In Oblivion and Morrowind I could wander around the map for hours looking for ingredients or just strolling through the woods admiring my avatar. In Skyrim once I was done with the playable quests (I don't even bother with that infinite quests gimmick), I had no desire to immerse myself in the world further. Perhaps I'm growing older, or perhaps I've done it so many times before that I don't feel the need too.

Exactly the oposite. I found the micro-management in the other games boring... to the point where I barely consider having "played" them. It was more like work.

Really? Some people enjoy the brain exercise.

Nope. Already logged twice the hours in Skyrim I ever spent on Oblivion.

No

Nope and never will.

Calm humanoid + Persuade.

And how did solving central plots using that method work out for you?

Oh phooey.
The point is that in previous games you could do that and now you cant.
Less game for your buck, its as simple as that.

When it comes to Skyrim's replayability, it barely has any due to its shallowness.
Its a case of been there, done that as soon as your second playthrough.
Im back to playing New Vegas, where I actually have choices and even though I know the worldspace by heart by now, Im still having a blast.
Skyrim can gather dust on my shelf.

Quite fine. A lot of the central plot enemies were calmable. In fact if you did it, you could talk to them. Some even had unique lines(The ash vampires would talk about how azura's been using you).

You can do it in Obliv too. It's a bit tougher though. High fame helps.

Yes, in comparison to Morrowind.

Oblivion kept slapping me in the face with its awkward, empty cartoon-land high fantasy and pulling me completely out of the game; Skyrim is superb if considered as a heroic adventure game intended to be "completed" once or twice, but below the surface of the nordic themes and superior art, it feels just as empty. Worse, the character building elements are so simplistic and shallow that I've no desire to create new characters, and no ability to satisfactorily create most of them [in terms of stats & progression] anyway.

As with Oblivion, I've quickly reached a point where mods are necessary to even like the game; and when almost the entire core ruleset, faction, quest and character design, and exploration & loot systems are what need to be modded, I start to wonder whether it's worth saving. I only have an hour or two a few times a week for RPGs, and while I really want to like Skyrim, I just don't.

Morrowind, vanilla or otherwise, remains far more engaging.

Much quicker, yes.

I blame the much quicker sense of character progression (both skill progression and progression through factions, etc). Also, the weak RPG elements means there's really not much incentive to play through the game multiple times with different characters...

That said, I still expect to get at least 200 more hours out of the game a year or so from now once there's a good amount of mods available and some expansion packs... so I can't really complain too much.
