This is the most disappointing game I've played since Mass Effect 3. Holy fuck it sucks. Why were people surprised that Starfield is cringe when Oblivion is just as bad? Who even wrote this game? I shoulda stopped at Morrowind

>fighters guild sucks bro the game gets good when you reach the thieves guild trust me bro
The Thieves Guild FUCKING SUCKED. It sucked just like the Fighters Guild and the Mages Guild. Maybe not as bad but it still fucking sucked. Grey Fox is a goofy looking faggot

>>713069878 (OP)
Best quests
Best factions
Best OST
Best exploration
Best lockpicking minigame
Actual voiced NPCs
Best interactivity
Best dynamic NPCs
Full NPC daily and weekly NPC scheduling, including unique houses for every NPC and even NPCs traveling to other towns in real time
Best artstyle and atmosphere

It was a revolutionary game for its time, and still holds up extremely well today. You're a zoomer shitstain and should kys

>>713070084
>zoomer
I've played every Elder Scrolls including Redguard and Battlespire upto Oblivion which I'm playing at the moment. Daggerfall, Battlespire and Morrowind are kino. Oblivion is fucking cringe

>>713070057

I think it's really funny that you go to that one castle (Bravil, I think?) and there's one NPC hanging around there with a name like MYSTERIOUS MAN. And I'm thinking "Gee, I sure wonder who the Grey Fox is?" This was before I even did a single Thieves Guild mission.

>>713070084
crying out your ass about zoomers just makes you look retarded

>>713070217
>Daggerfall, Battlespire and Morrowind are kino. Oblivion is fucking cringe
Yep, you're a zoomer. Kys

>>713070376
Oblivion is the best in the series in nearly every conceivable way but for some reason it's pure zoomer repellent.

>>713070507
How? How the fuck are the quests better than Morrowinds? Morrowinds feel grand, epic and all intersect with each other and the main quest. Oblivions feel like they dont even take place in the game world. They have zero consequence or affect on the world. Not to mention the dogshit writing.

>>713070632
>Morrowind
>good writing
Holy fuck you're retarded

>>713069878 (OP)
I wish all trannywind fags burn in hell

>>713069878 (OP)
Yeah it was the most dumbed down sequel in the series. Hardcore RPG fans were extremely disappointed that Todd casualized it so much and lied about everything leading up to it.

>>713070674
Get the fuck out of my thread

>>713070684
Dude I went into Oblivion with skyhigh hype after Morrowind and especially Battlespire which Oblivion is pretty much a sequel too. I was expecting kino, not whatever the fuck this was

>>713070084
Fucking copius Maximus here

>>713069878 (OP)
Weakest of the three but it's still fun.

>>713070835
Give it another shot when Skyblivion comes out. It has more side content than vanilla.

>>713069878 (OP)
Try not to be a mystery meat zoomer subhuman next life.

>>713070632
Morrowind just has boring, static fetch quests handed out by robo-NPCs who never move an inch. It's the most dull and lifeless game only enjoyed by lore autismos. Oblivion is so much more interactive, dynamic, and exploratory. Not to mention the surrealist watercolor-esque artstyle is far better than brown bowl of shit.

Liking Oblivion is a good litmus test of whether you are white and have a soul.

>>713069878 (OP)
The great filtering continues. Why are midwits so proud of being outsmarted by a game?

>>713070632
Morrowinds quests have the level of thought behind them as Skyrims radiant quests.
Not a whole lot of thought was put into side and faction quests in Morrowind. Just do random shit until you are in charge.
It is called a single player MMO for a reason.

>>713069878 (OP)
Starfield is good and a perfectly fine Bethesda game.
Issue is that it got caught in the crossfire between snoyggers and /pol/roaches and had no nostalgia to shield it from both parties at once.

>>713072423
The art direction from Morrowind does not get the criticism it deserves.
It hides behind the archaic graphics as cover.

>>713072960
Starfield is a well made pizza with just dough.
No sauce
No cheese
No toppings
No seasoning
The dough itself is pretty good.

>This is the most disappointing game I've played since Mass Effect 3
Mass Effect 3 came out after it you stupid nigger.

>>713073340
There is nothing generic about any of Morrowind's designs. Oblivion looks like a turd.

>>713075254
Have you visited Balmora or any of the cantons?
They are about as low effort and generic as you get.

>>713070084
I always wonder it the Oblivion defenders are trolling or if we really share a board with these retards
>best exploration
It has to be bait

>>713070507
I'm a fucking GenX who started with Daggerfall. Oblivion is fucking trash.

>>713075805
There is an anon that knows what paste tastes like.

>>713070632
Morrowind’s quests were mostly fetch quests tier. Oblivion quests were gimmick quests, just like the quests in Fallout 3. They can have a fun spin on things but they never contribute to the world building

>>713075763
Skyrims exploration is clearly better. Oblivions exploration was a clear improvement from the prior games.
Exploration in general has been improving across all games. Well until they hit Starfield that is. They spit the bit on that one.

Oblivion is fun because its flaws combine to make it an offbeat, surrealist fantasy world. What was intended as a fairly generic adventure becomes one where you get to be an autist in a world full of people with down syndrome.

>>713075983
> World building only involves in depth texts on who was in power 500 years ago.
No. The Oblivion quest about the painter trapped in his painting contributed to the world building.

>>713076023
Oblivion exploration was bad, way worse than Morrowind. It had less interesting climates and the same copy pasted dungeons interiors. But in Morrowind, you had a reason for exploring multiple locations since, firstly, loot didn’t respawn and secondly, you could find OP artifacts or interesting magic items
In Oblivion you can just farm the same dungeons over and over. Due to the level scaling, you will never find some strong artifact in a random dungeon
>Exploration in general has been improving across all games
On that I agree, a shame that dungeons aren’t more complex tho

>disappointing
So you had expectations for bethschlop?

>>713076374
If you treat the game as nothing more than a loot collector I can see the appeal of everything being static.
If we are talking about exploration Oblivion is clearly an upgrade from Morrowind.
Ease of movement alone makes Oblivions exploration better. You aren't forced to comply with the meta to enjoy the game. Morrowind all but forced you to take levitation to get around.

>>713075476
You are full of shit. No other game has made places like that. Oblivion does not even have designs. They LOTRified it in the worst way possible, and LOTR actually has good designs. Cyrodiil should have been lore accurate but it wasn't.

>>713076727
Bad bait. Either that or you’re brown. Please leave this website

>>713076374
This. Everything about Oblivion was ruined with level-scaling. I think that was the reason why they realized there is no reason to make the dungeons distinct from each other. With strong enough level-scaling it removes the reason to go anywhere.

>>713076845
> No other game has made brown square boxes.
Correct. They actually put in effort.

>>713076930
Nothing I said was wrong.

>>713076940
> If you don't make the game easier nobody will go anywhere.
That is clearly wrong.

>>713070217
Redguard is clearly better than Brokenspire, stop this contrarianism. Actually liking either of the two is contrarian to begin with but picking Battlespire means you're doubling down on it.

>>713077912
They are both shit. They sold less than 1000 copies each so there is no need to have an opinion on them at all.
Just ignore them like everyone else.

>>713077912
>Cyrus, the Tank Controls Man
>good

There are a lot of cool things about Redguard, but the game isn't one of them.

>>713070298
lmao
the other funny thing is he always says "capital!" as an explanation, like a hell yeah. and no other character ever says that, in like any elder scrolls media

>>713072960
the real issue was retards (the vidya clickbait hype industry) had absolutely retarded expectations from it. part of that was false advertising from bethesda, true, but the same shit happened with cyberpunk.
that and poors trying (and failing) to run games on their toasters. "recommended requirements" might as well be minimum requirements
