It's more like Fallout than Oblivion to me, which is good.

Then you my friend have a funny idea of what constitutes 'old'.


Un, no. Combat is improved, and animations are far more lifelike than Oblivion. Get a clue.


It is a step up, and if you can't see that, then perhaps you should be playing Oblivion instead.

Skyrim being like a Morrowind 2?...

The only thing I can see that can ressemble would be the presence of Mudcrabs that should be called Mudcrabs, since they look nothing like in Morrowind.
And different lighting source to use?

I haven't played Skyrim yet...but I don't seem to seem to find any other things that could be like Morrowind...

I'd say, personally, after having reasonable expectations and knowing that it was Bethesda who was making the game (they have a certain style of making games and certain things they prioritize over others) i was pleasantly surprised. It has it's flaws but i think deep down we all knew it would. The game is A LOT better than Oblivion in nearly every aspect.

I loved Oblviion

This game is better

To be fare it's a reworked Gamebryo engine. Not something created from the ground up.

I'm loving it though seeing it fixed the hitching issue I had in Oblivion and the Fallouts. They added new features, though they are being used extremely lightly in this game. (DX11 capabilituies, etc.)

So far the depth the the game world is astonishing and that is saying something. I loved Oblivion but it lacked in atmosphere and depth. Skyrim is more like Morrowind in that sense and I love it. The combat is better the interactions are better. The world is probably the richest and most detailed and filled in world Bethesda has ever made.

technically its TES V and Oblivion was TES IV. So yeah it's a sequel, but you have to add 3 to each one, and use the title, not the subtitle.

The day I heard Skyrim was going to be TES V I had the expectation that TES V was going to be Oblivion 2 for the following reasons:
First, It is set in Skyrim. Everybody was expecting Elsweyr or Valenwood. Nobody expected Skyrim to be the setting. Because they didn't pick one of the "cool" settings, I expected this chapter to be a refinement of what they already do, not a breaker of new ground.
Second, it is on the same generation of hardware as Oblivion. That would not be the way to get the same genre defining "wow factor" as Morrowind had when it was released.
Third, when they did Oblivion, they were guessing at the level of hardware that they would eventually have to run it on. This shows in a postulated memory leak that I don't think anybody ever found, and a need for a large pile of performance enhancing mods that all addressed completely different issues. I don't think they would try to design for next gen before next gen even existed a second time because of that.
Fourth, Morrowind came out near the release of xbox, Oblivion came out near the release of the 360, and this game does not fit that pattern. In that way it's more like New Vegas than either Morrowind or Oblivion.

You seem to be wanting the next gen game on the older gen hardware.

It's a step forward from Oblivion, a step back to Morrowind, a step to the side of Daggerfall. I am sated.

Don't get me wrong I am enjoying the game,

But to say that it is not like Oblivion is absurd. It is exactly the same in it's structure and game play bar a few minor tweeks. And this may be no bad thing.

The major disappointment is that there has been no improvement in the quality of the animations especially with regard to combat. Characters still float jerkily abut etc.

It's a 2009 game published late.

This game is a knock off of Pac-Man because you can move around, have to avoid bad guys and can eat things.

Nonsense, you're very wrong

See my previous post

So is Morrowind if you know where to find them. That make Morrowind mmmmmmmm Oblivion -2

This game is not like Oblivion. It plays different. Like Oblivion plays different to Morrowind. The atmosphere of these three games are different. I like those three games as they are

There is one thing Oblivion thought me. How to fight melee in first person. Before that I was svck at it. If it wasn't for Oblivion I will not last in Dead Island.

If the game is good who cares? I bet everyone wouldve really complained if bethesda used a new engine and made the game for the next generation of computer hardware and consoles.

they took things from oblvian, morrawind, and fallout threw it in a blender took it out resculpted it and made skyrim. Some of the ideas are the same from other games theyve made but they took good parts of their older games and incorperated them into Skyrims game system. (though spellcrafting would have been nice )

The animations are not the best but Bethesda has never been known for the best animations, but the astounding world certainly makes up for the jerky animations.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

The spoiled rotten crowd that feels like Bethesda should have catered to their every whim is too busy being butthurt over the fact that the game wasn't tailored to PCs as much as it was consoles that they are overlooking one of the greatest story lines and gameplay in a game ever made. This game is so expansive that one could not possibly have a fair view of it at this point. It would take months just to get through and truly experience the quests themselves. So for those of you that come on to this game and see only numbers and graphics, you're missing the point. You aren't living the fantasy like they intended you to. This isn't supposed to be about winning or getting the best graphics of all time. (Though they are some of the best damn graphics I've ever seen) This game is about immersing yourself in a universe that has been created by some of the smartest and most imaginative people I have ever bought something from.

So don't come on here and spout your hatred. You just look like a dunce.

OP you are a fool!

It's not hatred. It's nothing to do with hatred or consols. it's a good game just as Oblivion was.

I just wish that they had moved the series on from Oblivion. But they haven't.

But to simply say "it's a good game just as Oblivion was" insinuates that it is dated with few improvements. Otherwise, "good as a game just as Oblivion was" is not the argument your making; Oblivion was good for its time, and to say this would mirror the fact that Skyrim is good for our time. No, what you are saying is that Skyrim has not advanced from Oblivion - and I'm sorry that you're so blind to that fact otherwise - because you're truly wrong. It's not an opinion, it's merely invalid truths.

I disagree, but everyone has the right to an opinion.

Right, but those who think apples taste like oranges are morons.

I disagree. Something clicked with me with this game once I got into it. I think Bethesda really revamped how we play rpg's. I think the entire system is completely revamped and very well done. The visuals and lighting, sound, skill trees, shouts, player interactions, combat, etc is all redone and for the better.

This is not like Fallout New Vegas at all. It's a completely revamped new game. A lot of it is somewhat subtle but a huge step forward.

Video games have been getting somewhat stale imo but Bethesda somehow managed to reinvent the wheel here imo and I actually think the opposite. Some games I play it's all the same. This game really surprised me what they actually did.

Yes there are some similarities and it's still elder scrolls but what's going on underneath and on the surface is something else.

I think bethesda really delivered with this game. It's rare I say that too. But I think Bethesda really did.

This isn't a god of war game.

In fact, if you're playing the game in 3rd person and complaining about the animations... you're doing it wrong.
