NOTHING beats TES.
Sounds good. Where can I get it? Who's the developer?Originally Posted by Pooky

Oh you.....
What's TES?
The Elder Scrolls, you noob
Just Cause, Farcry and Fallout are missing.
Didn't even know dead island was openworld.
Wow, didn't realise the franchise is that old. Which of Morrowind, oblivion and sky rim did you enjoy the most?
I'm not the world's biggest TES fan. I find the class system abominable, the "level-scaling" idiotic and the depth half-arsed (there's a distinct lack of any tangible cause and effect in the "choices" you make, which results in a very superficial-feeling experience).
Pooky will tell you that Morrowind is the biggest/best/most awesome/totally pants-wetting (especially when modded) game ever, I'm sure. And while it's definitely a very, very expansive game it also feels very superficial.
I think general consensus is that Morrowind is the benchmark.
However, Skyrim's class, levelling, dialogue, combat, quest, etc systems are a lot more evolved. So I'm a bit more partial to it than Morrowind.
Oh, and Oblivion... Oblivion is terrible. Terrible. One of the ugliest/half-arsed games ever made. How it ever managed to be called "ZOMG SO PERTY" without mods is beyond me.
I cannot really choose. I favour many genres in the open-world adventure dept.
I like/love each for its own method of bringing to me (the player) its implementation of a open-world sandbox title.
Each is enjoyed for its own purpose and ideas.
Favouring one over another doesn't make sense -- unless you really do favour one over the other.
