Inigo!

thanks for skyrim

For me a double-wield, great spell usage ( although missing the spellcrafting) and a simpler, easier level-up system. I don't like that they took out the various stats, but finally I don't need to struggle if I want to optimise the levelups. ( I should try and play for the sake of playing, not maxing, eh?)
Also, on the internet it's usually the newer, the better, + base hype. Skyrim is a great TES title, just as Oblivion. They are different with their own strenghts and weaknesses, just as Morrowind :)

because of fortix

If you're into the Elder Scrolls franchise, you'll love every game. Mainly for the freedom it gives you, even more-so with mods. Personally, nothing beats Morrowind; but I may be biased because it was my first TES game, and nostalgia >.>

I liked the scale of the world and felt a certain freedom within it. I enjoyed branching off from questlines to start up new ones or to just go round exploring, taking in the sights, sound and atmosphere, meeting new characters along the way. It immersed me, and I enjoyed the lore, taking time to read the books etc.

People talk about mods - I didn't put any on it and found it brilliant. As for Oblivion, I've yet to play it.

It's fun, looks nice(I found myself staring at the view often) and there's a shitload of amazing mods that can make it an unforgettable experience.

I do like the leveling system and the archery balance for Skyrim, but I'll always prefer the storylines and characters of Oblivion.

Morrowind is better than Oblivion!

One does not simply question why someone likes Skyrim

"FUS ROH DA~!!" Baby!

But I haven't even played Skyrim nor even Oblivion before neither.

I badly want to get into these two games, but I absolutely suck on games done in the first person.

Dunno either. Oblivion had more phantasy like quests and thoes were much more diverse. Though it got nothing on Morrowind.

Very nice game of words there . Thanks for Skyrim !

No matter which is better I still quite liked Skyrim, maybe the game did try open to a wider audience but I found the vanilla game to be pretty good, the lore helps alot in the Elder Scrolls games!

Still love the Dark Brotherhood missions, though in Skyrim they were kinda ehh compared to Oblivion, 'Whodunit' is still one of the best sidequests I ever played.

first and only TES game i've played, I'm not obsessed with it, but there is so friggen much to do in it xD

Why is everyone not using SEARCH????

Morrowind->Skyrim=Daggerfall->->->->-> [far far away] Oblivion->Arena

I don't know why either. I do like Skyrim but I agree with you that Oblivion is way better

mods & boobies

Because it's so much better than Oblivion! It's so hard to make better sequels these days!

And also......Mods!

the mods man are great

I like it just to spite you.... AND you.

thanks for skyrim
