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

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

- Oblivion looks like a Medieval simulation or something

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!"

You may need a history lesson: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_Wiki

This is a joke, right?

Yep, they done pulled a Pokemon.

If I were sitting next to you at this moment I would stab you in the eye with a pen.

What are you talking about? This game personifies TES as a whole, they got rid of all that RPG nonsense and now it's perfect.

-Skyrim has the same graphics technical wise then Oblivion had. It art style was way off and didn't fit into elder Scrolls very much.

-Applies to art style as said previously

-I don't know what to make of this part.. other mechanics are shared across Skyrim and Oblivion certianly didn't feel like a medieval "simulation" at any way you look at it.

Now to just reply to your post in awhole Graphics do not really define a game within the series especially one such as Oblivion because Oblivion at the time was often reffered as a "state of the art" in graphics overall it as various peices such as the imperial palace that looks like concept art (at the time) the 360 was fairly new if you compared it to Morrowind or pretty much previous games on the Xbox this was true up until Crysis came out a year after. Sadly in Skyrim this does not happen very often only the mountains at a far looks like such several games have done a lot better in that regard of course Beth cant really do anything about this because they are being chained down to the same system they created Oblivion for that is pretty damn old and making this the longest generation of consoles there is.






It is far from perfect various mechanics did help TES but are being streamlined and cater to a more "easy going" audiance having little to none choice or depth or even a reason to think

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

Skyrim is my first ES game.

It's obvious that Oblivion is the one that's not truly part of The Elder Scroll franchise, unlike Morrowind, Shivering Isles, and Skyrim.

you should be, how dare you have an opinion.

No offense, just a good laugh. Your questions are too lengthy to answer, so go browse the Wiki link I posted. You'll find all your answers there.

Everyone has their own opinions.

Cheers

Most of the regions were there from the beginning. You'd have to look http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtJaLDU5z1I&feature=related to see Skyrim in another game though. The part with the weird mushroom trees in Oblivion was from an expansion that takes you through a portal to Sheogorath the Mad God's realm.

Obviously, I would also include Arena,Daggerfall,Battlespire,Redguard and Morrowind none of these game are TES only Skyrim because Skyrim is perfect.

Oblivion had awesome graphics back in 2006.

He's new cut him some slack lol, the TES series isn't like Assassins Creed or ...well most other games that rehash the same setting/story over and over. lets put it like that. Oblivion is no where near the first game in the series lol

So did Skyrim

dammit gone to far I know..

Have you seen his avatar?, enough said.

In all seriousness, Morrowind is the odd one out among Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim, in terms of game design and vision.

What's wrong with my avatar?

Unlike most other game series.....in ES game you only get ot explore a small part of each world...they aren't finding a new area, it was always there on the maps.


Also, people are so quick to forget, but in 2006 (<-----look at the year) Oblivion was congratulated for it's graphics....thats what we used to call good.

Too much that, not enough Star Wars.

Lay off the personal jokes.
