[Forlorn Penguin]

Morrowind is so much better than Oblivion and Skyrim in my eyes!

No. It simply is so much better than Oblivion and Skyrim. Period. There was literally nothing about Oblivion that I can perceive as "good". Skyrim actually did a few cool things, but was still streamlined even farther than Oblivion was (too quite absurd levels) and was still ultimately a very weak TES game.

Skyrim is a fun game when you acknowledge it as nothing more than just some one-off hack-and-slash action game. As an RPG though, it's terrible, and as a TES game, it's an abomination. Oblivion on the other hand, is just shit from every perspective.

As for my list, I won't bother writing one. I'll just say that the greatest game of all-time is The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.

 

[Brute]

Pfffft, all this talk and shit about Elder Scrolls.

Fallout 3 reigns supreme.

To The Elder Scrolls in general? Maybe. To Morrowind? Not a chance.

 

[Brute]

To The Elder Scrolls in general? Maybe. To Morrowind? Not a chance.

Haven't gotten a chance to play Morrowind yet, but I find that hard to believe.

 

[Forlorn Penguin]

Haven't gotten a chance to play Morrowind yet, but I find that hard to believe.

Well, keep in mind that Morrowind is not like Oblivion or Skyrim. Totally different game. Fallout 3 and New Vegas on the other hand, are very similar to the latest two TES games.

Morrowind was the end of a different era of Bethesda games. Oblivion and every other game they've done since have been following a different, depthless, noobified direction in order to cater to casual players.
