Bethesda SoftworksĪnd, that “little bit” could wind up being quite a while if 2021 statements from Howard are any indication. I love this game, and I’m not afraid to scream it from the rooftops.'Elder Scrolls' fans praying that 'Starfield' gets released already. Oblivion is one of the few games where I purposefully seek out every side quest the game has to offer.
Closing shut the jaws of Oblivion is something that never gets old for me, as repetitive as it is in reality. The narrative had me hooked the second Patrick Stewart’s voice echoed through my television. Well, as refined as a Bethesda game can be. The freedom of Morrowind was still there, only more refined. Oblivion was unlike anything I had experienced before. I upset another store manager who wanted their shift covered.Īnyway, let’s talk about my favorite of all Elder Scrolls games. Naturally, I jumped at the bit to come in on my off day, pick up our store’s copies, and then go home and spend the next 48 hours playing Oblivion. My boss called me the day before, saying that we could pick up and sell pre-ordered copies a day early. I planned to take the day off for release because marathoning a highly anticipated video game release is exciting. I was still working at that same GameStop when Oblivion was released.

Parts haven’t aged well, like every game on this list, but it’s a crowning achievement in open-world design. Morrowind deserves all the love and acclaim it has. We didn’t know this was possible in a video game. We spent our shifts talking about what we did in-game. Within the next couple of weeks, the entire store staff played Morrowind. Naturally, we were intrigued by the premise. A co-worker described it as a fantasy-style Grand Theft Auto where we could do whatever we wanted. For me, it’s a solid second best.īack in high school, I was working at GameStop when I first heard about Morrowind.

But as far as the base version is concerned, it’s not quite as good as the next ones. I wanted to be hooked! If we were to include Skyrim mods, the game would probably top the list. I’m someone who still owns the collector’s edition Alduin statue. It lacks a certain je ne sais quoi to hook me in. So why is it so low on this list? It failed to resonate with me in ways the other two games did.Īgain, Skyrim is a fantastic game, but it feels like it’s missing something. Skyrim itself is a world worth exploring, featuring seemingly endless quests, towns, characters, and enemies. The natural moment-to-moment interactions in the open world are some of the best the franchise has to offer. Let’s get this out of the way first: Skryim is a fantastic game with an incredible experience.
Is it blasphemous to put Skyrim this “low?” Possibly, but these are my opinions! The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Photo Credit: Bethesda The only reason it’s so low on this list is a testament to the quality of the remaining Elder Scrolls games. Often referred to as the “darkhorse sleeper” MMO on the market, Elder Scrolls Online is one of the best MMORPGs out there and a fantastic experience that’s worth checking out. Since then, and with each subsequent expansion and release, that experience has continued to get better and better. My fears were unwarranted the base game is an enjoyable, albeit flawed, title. I was nervous before its release to see how the authentic Elder Scrolls experience would translate.

Today it’s worth giving it a spin to see how you think it stacks up amongst all Elder Scrolls games. Unlike Arena, Daggerfall has aged well for a game released back in 1996. It is a title you can get lost in, exploring every nook and cranny the world has to offer. Daggerfall felt more focused than its predecessor, delivering an engaging open-world RPG experience. It’s developed a cult following whose fans rank it amongst the best of all Elder Scrolls games. Daggerfall expands on Arena in every possible way.
