I think Oblivion will of been the last Elder Scrolls game that wasn't a sell out.
From the couple hours I've played in Skyrim, my hand's being held like I'm a five year old crossing the street.
It's sad that the Elder Scrolls series had to sell out for more money but who wouldn't?

I'm thinking about playing Arena and Daggerfall just for the shits n giggles because I'm bored enough to post on jsp.

indeed... Oblivion was one of the best single games ive ever played

You should play Morroblivion. It is elder scrolls 3 put through the oblivion game engine

definitly dude i love that game and skyrim just wasent the same.....

Skyrim streamlined player involvement/ action and skills and gets called a "sell out"? It felt like a natural, much needed progression, imo, and I've been loving the series since Daggerfall.

oblivion was horrible, every single dungeon looked the exact same.

just because dungeons were alike doesnt mean that the game was horrible, just that dungeons were boring. and they indeed were boring

oblivion still is pretty decent game IMO

Agreed. Oblivion had the GOTY also, which added a huge quest onto the main storyline, and an entire new realm, with two large halves styles completely different. Oblivion yo
