What the hell is with this suddden glorification of Oblivion?
I thought Oblivion was pretty damn horrible, and especially compared to its predecessors.
Probably wouldn't even have played it were it not for the modding community.
Skyrim is still far from what I wanted, but I definitely consider it a step in the right direction.
oblivion was better and was way funner at it's release, so was morrowind...of course neither of the 2 have lasted in age
I personally loved morrowinds level system, minor/major skills etc...and as far as fallout goes new vegas is my favorite game of the series(too bad it was developed by obsidian...bethesdas next fallout release has a good chance of being terrible)
skyrim is
not a step in the right direction...and let me give you a couple reasons why
no durability
crafting is better than finding rare items
95% of the quests are randomly generated, completely discouraging random traveling as there is only a few set places that arent randomly generated
class system/major skills gone, leaving the game incredibly easy and unchallenging even at the hardest setting
dragons...now that's their "big thing" that was supposed to be so ground breaking...random encounters + they can kill npcs that dont respawn + thats a load of crap
combat system has many obvious flaws
PS3 systems cannot handle the game after their save data reaches a certain limit/RAM cap on the computer version
sleeping is virtually worthless as health/mana/stamina all regenerate(also adds to the extreme ease of the entire game)
the theme setting and voice acting are all very cheesy and kind of lame(not to say that previous releases weren't but thats always been and issue for me)
the ONLY one reason I could agree with you is because graphically this game was top notch...otherwise it failed miserably on so many levels
