Dunno. Morrowing was borring, Oblivion was even more borring.
No character development, no bond with youre character whatsoever, dull NPCs voiced by 2 voice actors, no choice given in any quests (just talk to him, and cyu. Don't have the option to do something else, ally with that char, etc.).
And yes, I'm an RPG fan. Didn't find anything interesting in the game apart from the large map.

Because everything they have released about the game looks really really good? that's my reason. Did you like any of the previous games? Maybe it's just not really the game series for you, if skyrim doesn't look awesome to you, that's pretty much all I can figure. Honestly, I'm also really really excited about radiant story.farq1414 said:
Because everything from the teaser trailer to actually gameplay footage makes it look freaking awesome.
Its going to be a huge rpg with loads of quest storylines and content, not to mention highly moddable... like oblivion/morrowind only with a better character/npc levelling system, better graphics and nicer overall design on the playable races and more interesting combat.
What's not to like?

because morrowind was great and oblivion was better
fallout 3 was great and new vegas was better (not discounting the bugs, admittedly)
everything so far looks great... a little dumbed down but only in areas that were annoying (sometimes i feel like using an axe, ok?)
who knows, might suck, won't find out until it comes out

Because if it follows the tradition of any of Bethesda's other RPGs, it will be an huge open-world RPG with hundreds of hours of gameplay, hundreds of quests, an immersive and epic plot, stunning graphics and the most important thing of all: the ability to play the way YOU choose: Do the main quest, join a faction, do quests for NPCs or wander the wilderness seeking adventure. Maybe that cave over there will hold great treasure. Maybe that Dwemer Ruin will hold clues to that long dead race.
The deal with Skyrim is that it promises to be an epic game.

Go to youtube and look up the roughly fourteen minute live demo (G4 has a bigger one than GameTrailers). It's narrated by Todd Howard and I think the game is good enough to ship. They either like the whole thing with 11.11.11, or they're just spending some time getting the house in order.farq1414 said:
It's really something you have to see.
Because it's an Elder Scrolls game. Yeah, I'm actually going with that.
The last in the series, Oblivion has a massive fanbase and the most extreme Oblivion fans are the most extreme fans ever. They have played the game for thousands of hours (not exaggerating). They want to explore every part of the game in every way they can. What if they didn't turn that rock in the start? What if they broke granny Riddleton's window instead of helping her save her husband? So there's just a million things they have tested in Oblivion, and even those who aren't that extreme still loves the game. They want to find a different way to burn off maybe 100 hours on. Many thinks that Skyrim is worth it if it's even half as good as Oblivion. Even if this game turns out to suck (which it probably wont) it will still sell well because it's a franchise known for the great game from 2006.
Sure things wont be the same, no mods, more streamlined etc. In simple terms lots of complaints that rabid fans will still shout out. However most of those complaining fans probably readied their wallets when they first heard that there was a new Elder Scrolls game coming.
If Skyrim wasn't an Elder Scrolls game it would take some serious marketing to make it this anticipated. It would still look as good, have the same qualifications so it would draw a huge audience with time. It is a fantasy RPG in a huge world you get to explore to the fullest so yeah, it serves people what they want.
I am not interested in this game though, but I can see already now that this will be a success, at least when it comes to profit.

the biggest selling point for me... no effing oblivion gates, but free roaming dragons instead... yum!
Skyrim is going to be brilliant for so many reasons. If you'd played an Elder Scrolls game, you'd understand. Or maybe you wouldn't, but really that's okay too. What you don't do is tell people to "explain why it's good" and then argue their points every step of the way. It's counterproductive and utterly pointless, and I really don't understand why these threads still exist.
