Poll: How Many Escapists Who Are Excited for Skyrim Actually Played Oblivion?

[Mike Laserbeam]

Morrowind then Oblivion and now Skyrim.
I'm so psyched for it.
Only problem?
I am currently studying at university and do not have any sort of machine (Console or PC powerful enough) that will be able to run it... So I'll have to wait for Christmas to play it.
Although even if I did have a powerful enough PC here, I'm quite enjoying having a social life at the moment!

(Genuinely considering taking the 2.5 hour journey home every weekend until Christmas just to play Skyrim for a day or two)

 

[Ralen-Sharr]

I played Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion.
looking forward to Skyrim.

 

[Gluzzbung]

I'm not excited for Skyrim. I've played Oblivion. People seem to think I'm weird.

 

[LarenzoAOG]

I've beaten Morrowind and Oblivion, and I played Daggerfell for about 18 minutes.

 

[hazabaza1]

Played Oblivion for many an hour. Played Morrowind for about... 20, I think. I've tried out Arena and Daggerfall as well, couldn't really get into them.

 

[Mikeyfell]

at least one...
I played Oblivion
I'm excited for Skyrim.

Now I was excited for Oblivion (It's actually why I bought a 360) with out ever playing Morrowind, so there.

 

[Robert Ewing]

Yeah, I loved oblivion, even if I thought it was a bit shallow in places, I still really admired it. It was a beautiful game.

 

[BrionJames]

I have played all entries in TES, so yeah... I am excited for Skyrim.

Glad to see I'm not the only geezer, *cough*, I mean Elder Scrolls veteran, on the Escapist.
Yeah, I've been playing the Elder Scrolls since day one, so heck yeah, I'm excited about Skyrim!
Currently taking a stroll on Vvardenfell to keep myself occupied until Skyrim arrives.

Right there with you gentlemen. Jagar Tharn ain't got shit on me!

 

[Clive Howlitzer]

I played and modded the shit out of Morrowind and Oblivion. The only thing I can of The Elder Scrolls I never played much of was the expansions to Morrowind and the games that I didn't know existed until they were too old.
I liked Oblivion a lot, even though I know it tends to get a lot of hate. It wasn't perfect by any means but it was still a blast to play. I could just be a sucker for open world.

 

[Phlakes]

I played the shit out of Oblivion at least three times. And by that I mean three different triple digit files, and I even got into Morrowind recently. Honestly, Oblivion was about an 8/10, and Skyrim looks like it's fixIng everything that put it below a 10, so I waiting as impatiently as possible.

 

[Zeraki]

I'm not excited for Skyrim, because I played Oblivion. I wouldn't say Oblivion was bad, it was just really boring for me. I'm interested, and will probably get the game of the year addition off Steam when it's dirt cheap, but Bethesda games aren't really my thing.

 

[Sehnsucht Engel]

I played Morrowind and Oblivion. I'm more excited for Saints Row 3 than Skyrim.

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

I played Fallout 3, that's close enough right? I kid, I never got around to playing Oblivion despite the pestering of my friends and by now I feel I'd get a much better experience simply jumping into the series with Skyrim, kind of like how Twilight Princess being my first Zelda game really blew me away having not experienced anything like it with previous titles in the series. So count me in as one of the very few heathenistic freaks looking forward to Skyrim without actually having played Oblivion. My apologies Internet, you may begin stoning me now.

 

[woodsymoments]

I remember watching my sister plaing The Elder scrolls arena and ever since then ive loved TES games.

 

[gigastrike]

I played Oblivion, but I haven't "for Sithis".

 

[Andaxay]

I guess people who didn't play Oblivion are hyped 'cause of the... hype? It's certainly been bigged up, and lord knows we need a good solid fantasy game in the middle of all this first-person shootery muddle. I ploughed around 250 hours into Oblivion and absolutely love it, and can't wait. A guy at work is considering getting it even though the only Oblivion knowledge he has is from my rambling on and on about it and I have friends who tried Oblivion and won't be picking Skyrim up 'cause they didn't enjoy it.

I can see where they're coming from. The first half-hour of Oblivion can be off-putting. But my goodness how I became obsessed with it. I'm going to a midnight launch for Skyrim and have Friday off, thankfully, so I'll be playing it all night.

 

[scorptatious]

Yup.

I've played the shit out of Oblivion. Over 200 hours total.

Best part is, I've got a day off of work AND school on Friday so I'll pretty much have Skyrim all to myself. *rubs hands together with glee*

 

[idarkphoenixi]

I'm trying not to see so much Skyrim content and Skyrim themed forums because I'm starting to get tired of the game before I even played it. Sometimes I just can't help myself though

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

Played Oblivion, pumped for Skyrim.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

The soul first NPC I meet in Skyrim will be given to Sithis!
