Is Skyrim really apart of the Elder Scrolls Series? : V - Skyrim

» Thu Jun 07, 2012 12:09 pm

Skyrim is more medieval themed than Oblivion ever was, for its time in 2006 Oblivion had great graphics. Even Morrowind was good for its time. Mushrooms? sounds like you watched a Morrowind video.

I don't understand why you can't see them as being apart of the same world? England is nothing like the middle east, Norway is nothing like the Caribbean. See my point?

cyrodill (oblivion's provice) has nomushroom trees, thats the isles

oblivion's graphics were bad because they were older

cyrodill is not skyrim, their culture is different, right down to the way they build things

skyrim has always been north

the are both a part of TES

Skyrim, and the Labyrinthian dungeon, featured in TES1 Arena.

Skyrim also has giant mushrooms. You need to do some more quests and you will eventually find the place which has them. :wink:

Quests? I have no idea what youre talking about. This game has quests? I thought you just went around looting bandit hideouts and Ayleid ruins. And for the record, I dont have shivering isles.

I have deleted a few posts. Calling other members "trolls" or otherwise trying to demean them is not permitted and will earn a warning and a suspension if I see any more. I am starting to lose patience over this habit.

Sorry if I offended anyone, I'm new to the series.

Skyrim is my first ES game.

What? You start a thread and claim that Skyrim is not a part of TES games, and you havent even played other TES games?!

How are you supposed to support this arguemnt if you only playd 1 TES game?

Come on man, you are not even tryin.

The reason I ask this is because I've looked at a few videos showing Oblivion and I just can't see how Skyrim is apart of the same world.

- Oblivion has horrible graphics

Horrible graphics? It's better looking than several games that came out way later.
Also, did you start gaming like last year? 1998 had horrible graphics, not the probably best looking game of 2006.

- Oblivion has weird mushroom trees and plants that make the game look like it was based in Neverland

Like someone else said, you probably saw the Shivering Isles which is based on a crazy Deadra Lord's Realm. Stuff gets messed up in there.

- Oblivion looks like a Medieval simulation or something

:biggrin:

Something I'm also wondering is if Skyrim is ever mentioned in the previous games.

Or did they pull a Pokemon and say "Oh by the way we discovered a new region, it was right next to us the whole time!"

Skyrim is well known from before. It's part of Tamriel which consists of several areas, all of which you can see here: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Maps

Responses in bold. Also, you should go play Oblivion, and definitely Morrowind. You might not like anything older. See what the TES series is really all about.
