It's a wide world - and these are some of the widest

Wow, didn't realise the franchise is that old. Which of Morrowind, oblivion and sky rim did you enjoy the most?
 
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.

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.
 
Being an Elder Scrolls fan, albeit only since Oblivion, I've never had the pleasure or displeasure of playing Morrowind.

Thanks Ly, not sure I have the energy or the time for any of these.

Depends on what you want out of them. You can finish the main story in a few hours (maybe 8 or so, perhaps even less), quite comfortably and feel like you've had "the experience." Or you can screw around and do side-quests and explore, if that takes your fancy, and have the game last much longer.

The one thing these games have (and, I suppose, one of their greatest appeals) is their versatility--you can play them in whatever way you want to.

And you're always welcome :p
 
Yes, I will tell you that Morrowind is the best Elder Scrolls Game, purely because of the feeling it manages to create.

I'm a huge fan of game immersion and Morrowind is the best at this. It's the most immersive game I have played I think.

However, I'm also a huge fan of Skyrim. Of course, I gain more joy out of modding the heck out of these games than actually playing them hehe.

Gotta agree here about Morrowind. It's one of my favourite games ever. I never managed to feel quite as engrossed in later Bethesda RPGs, except maybe Fallout 3.
