Which is your favourite Elder Scrolls game to date?

[RobbieRoy]

Dragonslayer

[Scryder]

Oblivion, as it was my first game in the series and I've spent countless hours and several playthroughs on the 360. Although I've never completed the main storyline! Always got side-tracked.

I enjoyed Skyrim and did complete the main story. But after 120 hours the game got a bit buggy and took ages to load. Was planning to go back and play it again...

morrowind for me. It was the first oen I played and it instantly hooked me with its open gaming, plots and interaction as well as its ease of play and good graphics for the time. Looking forward to skywind to be finnished so I can relive it again in glorious graphics.

Definately Morrowind - it felt like every cave and dungeon was different unlike the later versions. I remember it being funnier too, the dead person with the potion of jump 1000 or something.

For me probably Oblivion, I only recently got into the Elder Scrolls series, started with skyrim probably 2 years ago now but I recently picked up Oblivion on a deal and have been having great fun with it. I'm interested in playing Morrowind but still haven't got round to playing through oblivion fully, I'll probably give that a look later.

Oblivion was the first Elder Scrolls game I ever played, and I find it the perfect mix between the action oriented Skyrim and the heavy rpg of Morrowind. It's pretty great, even though Morrowind is just incredible. I would love to give Daggerfall a go at some point.

Oblivion was good and i like the map, but Skyrim was better for me.

[Mblaster]

Gotta be Morrowind for me, so many hours played on that, I think I've been through the main storyline 10+ times! The lack of fast travel/horses made exploring great fun, could go for hours not even completing quests just running around.

Surprised at the number of people selecting Oblivion, that would be behind Skyrim and Morrowind IMO, a decent game but the Oblivion gates were just too repetitive and I didn't like the system of adjusting the difficultly to your current level.

Joined the series with Oblivion and still haven't managed to go back and play Morrowind as I've been promising myself, so I must admit I probably haven't got as great a range of comparison as some of you.

I loved the guilds in Oblivion and felt the cities had a lot more character (Solitude, Riften and Whiterun were the only ones which stood out to me in Skyrim - Markarth was different, but it still ended up feeling slightly bland), but I'd still have to go with Skyrim overall. Even then, probably only because of the extent of the mods available and the versatility that's been afforded to the game by the modding community; I've never seen anything like it, Oblivion is probably the closest I can think of but even that never felt like it was quite on the same level (in breadth or depth).

The way it seems everything about the gameplay experience - visuals, mechanics, atmosphere, characters, quests, dialogue... all of it, right down to mods & plugins focussed on squeezing every last drop of performance out of the hardware - can be modified or totally overhauled to taste provides something totally unique. There was just enough variety and flavour in the vanilla game to provide the bare-bones to build upon and inspire the creative processes of the mod community which has yielded what I still think is the most comprehensive gameplay experience and immersive game world I've ever encountered. I've sunk over 500 hours into Skyrim - by far the most of any game on my Steam account - and I'm still driven to just wander the wilds, experience the world and continue to tweak minor details occasionally. I've never made it past meeting the Greybeards. I've started a new playthough now and already about 20 hours clocked, have installed an ENB (Bleak Realism, with a few tweaks) for the first time and a few companion characters and am back to just exploring, crafting and hunting game - I can't help it, I just get too drawn in, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Dragonslayer, as I said above - otherwise I tend to like wandering around finding places full of nasties to bump off.

[OldFartAtPlay]

I've played every Elder Scrolls since the first (except the online version). All great, all different. The music in Daggerfall was the best - really haunting. Unfortunately as I recall it was Daggerfall that had the awful auto-generated dungeons with an irritating 3d swivelling view. Probably Morrowind is my favourite, because it had a real 'wow' factor when i first played it.

I haven't finished Skyrim yet, although I'm enjoying it, but that's because I spend so much time on Civ V and Total War now.

[Ravens Nest]

Daggerfall gave me the best memorys, me ,my cousin and my brother all taking turns trying to get out of the randomely generated dungeons avoiding the lich.

Getting excited about finding an Adamantium Sword and armour, but the getting stuck in the wall or another of the millions of bugs in the game.

Oblivion i loved the side missions (The Dark brotherhood being a highlight), the main mission was terrible though.

Skyrim seems massive but an empty experience compared to Oblivion and Morrowind.

I thought Oblivion was the best.

[Marenghi]

^ seconded. i was really impressed with the depth the game had. I hope the mod Skywind is worthwhile as I've never played Morrowind

[someru]

Back when Oblivion first came out it didn't work on my PC properly and I really wanted to play a game like that so I picked up Morrowind and since then I've played them all and my personal favorite has to be Morrowind.
