Who ISN'T looking forward to another Elder Scrolls game?

[revolutionaification]

Meh, I'm not too sure either way yet. I enjoyed Morrowind and Oblivion enough to spend some time messing around in them after the main quests (especially with a bunch of mods on for Oblivion) but I've never rated them as some of my absolute favourite games. However, the trailer seems promising (y'know, what with the dragons and all) so as more information's released I'll probably start to look forward to it.

Me,

No time to spend a 30 minute character creation to be plunged into a underpopulated world spare cities where you are the hero who trys to save the world by yourself

Oh man another fucking bullshit "Be the hero" game -.-
NEXT

Oh, Hello Fallout New vegas 2 -.-

In morrowind my friend nearly commited a mass genocide against the entire population. The only reason you have to be the hero is because you chose to go and do the hero route. You can do whatever you want in an Elder Scrolls game, and killing everyone, becoming an exceptional theif/assassin, or simply being a total prick to unicorns and people you don't like, are all on the table.

Know to be fair, Oblivion felt a bit more forced on the epic journey then Morrowind, but still. They pretty much tell you in the hand books that you can do whatever you want. Thats what makes the series so fun.

I've sunk over 50 hours into morrowind and never got past half the primary 'hero' campaign. I was one of the best assassins, built a town in an ice island, a great thief, had to constantly try to keep a low profile due to a high bounty, and was at one point a vampire. No other game has let me do that, and still offer 200 billion other things to do if that wasn't my thing.

Know if freedom isn't your thing, and your more of a theme park kinda guy, then I can understand that, but don't say Elderscroll games are hero games.

I'm just not really into fantasy RPGs. Or fantasy settings in general.

I really hope it doesn't turn into the North region from Gothic 3... that place was a maze of little islands, deep canyons, and orc infestations.

On the other hand, I could do with some properly-done Nordic-themed role-playing. Pour me a hornful of ale and man the longboats, boys!

hell to the NO!
i am NOT excited for a sequel to a game that i couldnt even play for 5 minutes without being bored
i TRIED to replace the hole Fable left in my heart after my mom took it away all those years ago with Elder Scrolls 3, but that game SUCKED! it was WAAAAAAAAY too big and the combat was slow and clunky. i never felt like i was actually HITTING anything when i swung my sword

i honestly thought oblivion would be better, but it turned out that it was just as bad, just with better graphics.

If you didn't play the game for longer than five minutes it's pretty clear you didn't give it a chance, and Oblivion was not "Morrowind with better graphics", far from it in-fact.

You're probably patrolling anyway.

someone can't cant catch an exaggeration. im not trolling, im stating my opinion which is...
Elder Scrolls games are just too slow. i like to be drawn into a game from the moment i start it, which is why i like games like Red Dead Redemption and Mass Effect 2 and cant stand bloated games that go up their own ass with cinematics and overly drawn-out stories (not saying Morrowind was this. in fact, it had a severe LACK of cinematics that made it impossible for me to wonder if i was doing the game "right")

I am not excited for it, but that is because I played Morrowind and thought it was one of the worst things ever. Though I did love Fallout 3 so maybe I should see if I like oblivion.

If they manage to combine the varied/interesting world/story design-type of Morrowind with the stronger gameplay elements of Oblivion then I'll be totally on board. I spent tons of time with both games; each had its strengths and weaknesses. Fix the problems, maybe add some new elements to spice things up, and you're golden.

Also, bring back the class personality quiz from the beginning of Morrowind - I always thought that was a nice touch (didn't make much sense in the context, but still).

 

[TragicHero84]

I played Elder Scrolls IV, despite not having played any of the previous ones. I bought it because I love RPGs and after hearing so much about it, I figured I would love it. What a piece of shit that game turned out to be. I have never been so bored with a game in my life.

 

[maturin]

Why do so many people in this tread not like Oblivion?! Oblivion was a gaming masterpiece!

God-damn it Tolkien fantasy is awful & I don't want another game based on it.

Because no one could have made the above complaint about Morrowind.

 

[My name is Fiction]

There's this thing called free time and class... I was looking forward to having both again. Oh well.

"Yes I know, I put 500-1000 of hours into that game, its like WOW but not as horrible."

[ZydrateDealer]

I'll play it before I condem it thank you

 

[Hollock]

It's just going to be fallout with swords.

-m

Thank you, that is awesome.
OT: I'm not going nuts over it, but I guess it will be cool. More excited about Mass Effect 3.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Well I'm hypocritical on it. I don't think it should have been made but i want it.

 

[Super Toast]

Looking forward to getting flamed for this one, but I played 3 and 4 and can see a pattern of decline. Anyone else out there feel the same way?

They've announced that it'll be using a new engine, so that's something to look forward to. Besides, I thought Oblivion was better than Morrowind in every way.

 

[BourneGamer]

I'm hyped but skeptical. Oblivion was terrible in comparison to Morrowind, hopefully Skyrim isn't that bad.

Anybody who recognizes your avatar would not have expected any other answer.

But, I'll admit to being quite interested in the explanation behind the dragons. I don't remember much in-game lore about dragons (only played ES III and IV) and it's got me hooked on getting that explained.

 

[Ashcrexl]

i still havent beaten morrowind! working on it though. so far i love it and oblivion looks simply AMAZING, so i have no reason to not look forward to TEV, though maybe they could give me a little time to catchup?

That's an interesting point, because I've spent hundreds of hours in both games (and about 20 in daggerfall), but I haven't once heard of dragons. The only time I did was in an Oblivion mod where you can summon and ride a dragon... interesting lore development.
