They're some of the best games around for open-world exploration, although the storytelling isn't that great.<br /><br />From what I've heard, I'm guessing Skyrim will be very similar to Oblivion, i.e. FPS style combat with your left and right arms mapped to the two mouse buttons. Playing Oblivion should give you a good idea of whether you'll like Skyrim.<br /><br />And both Morrowind and Oblivion are better with mods. If you do play Oblivion, I'd suggest at least using the mod "Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul," which makes it much more convincing as a virtual world.Tolthirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08186401981818820178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7801344413612447717.post-68147153910765090852011-05-25T02:09:44.814+02:002011-05-25T02:09:44.814+02:00TES was my first "modern day" adventure ...TES was my first "modern day" adventure game. At 42, I convinced my wife that we "needed" an Xbox 360 to play DVD's.<br /><br />Then I went on a game hunt. I knew said wife would be a bit miffed If I bought a bunch of games. I just wanted one. One looooong one.<br /><br />The electronics store guy was only 17, but he totally got me. He told me Oblivion was the only game I would need for a long time.<br /><br />Eight months later, I still hadn't completely finished the main questline, but had bought one of those console "rocking chairs" with speakers, and played 10 or so hours a week chasing sunsets and picking plants. I had the pirate's cave and the wizard's tower.<br /><br />I still remember getting the cave and thinking "this is mine!!!"<br /><br />Although the late-night loneliness kind of got to me.<br /><br />Then I met someone at work who played WoW, bought it, and my Xbox has been untouched for over 3 years...<br /><br />It's totally about OTHER PEOPLE being out there. Single player games are achingly lonely to me.Bristalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11849907713604626977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7801344413612447717.post-28052940549237329402011-05-24T16:20:12.688+02:002011-05-24T16:20:12.688+02:00While "new" Elder Scrolls (starting wit...While "new" Elder Scrolls (starting with morrowind) are certainly not about the world simulation they are still quality games. And they do provide great support for modders. Modded oblivion was great and Fallout3 was great out of the box already. <br /><br />Bethesda makes quality games with best modders support in market. world or not .Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14814638059509556522noreply@blogger.com
