I've only played Oblivion, so I'm pretty biased.

oblivion, well morrowind is very slow you got level up all the time to play it, eg attacking a mudcrab and you will miss plenty of times before causing some damage, there is no voice acting or cutscenes so the story is like reading a book, you got to read everythig, you have to travel long distanced by foot and no teleport, it takes ages, there are not many interesting stufff going on and when you get a quest you got to ask a npc for directions, eg go NW then turn right..... Also the combat has no block unless you have a shield and it takes many hits to kill someone plus armors brake in long fights... bascily its 95% rpg and not action rpg, the monsters dont jump at you and attack, they have to get close and then they attack, just like a non action rpg game.

Morrowind was so fun with the stupidly overpowered enchantments and spells you could make.

I would make rings and items with enchantments that would break the balance of the game. i could jump across the entire game world, fly around cities shooting massive nuke like fireballs. I would get the boots of blinding speed and then counter the blindness with that one chest piece, run so fast you could cross the world in a few minutes. I had armor that would give me more life than a town full of guards could take away and eventually they would die from just attacking me. In morrowind you could become a god of gods.

yeah am just trying to clarify in case you didnt knew, lets just say that playing a game for 100 hours with slow travelling, leveling up all the time and not cutscenes or voice acting in dialogues really kills the immersion, even in the case of morrowind when the world they created was unique and prett amazing, i think i dropped it after 30 hours... it didnt really do anything epic to keep me playing, like the kvatch oblivion gate. however i did enjoy leveling up in the beggning, later on it turned slow because i couldnt find monsters to level up fast enough so i had to kill the weaker ones...

There was voice acting in the game, just not much. But don't expect the level of voice acting on the scale of Oblivion; Morrowind came out a while ago after all. And there was teleportation in the form of Stilt Riders, Mage guilds, and the spells mark and recall. Mods were added to allow more marks making it easy to transport yourself anywhere. Again, this isn't hold-your-hand style of transportation Oblivion was about. I will agree with you on the NPC directions. I did get lost a few times, but luckily there was many areas in interest to keep me from getting bored. There's nothing like feeling invigorated to continue your quest after looting a powerful sword from a nearby tomb you stumbled upon while lost. And yeah, the combat does suck. :P And to stay on topic, my favorite by a long shot is Morrowind. I lost many hours of my life to that game.

Well the npc had voice acting when they walk around, not in dailogues... where is the hillarious: "stop you criminal scum" (try looking at my avatar)...it really killed the immersion, with all that music and no voices in dialogues. The teleport pads where at specific areas i couldnt quick travel plus no horse, travelling took ages, exploring the map too, where do i find that mod that add quest markers?

I remember quite a bit of dialogue from a lot of NPCs that you would meet fir the main plot line, but honestly, you really can't expect much from a game that came out in 2002. As for the mod, I'm not sure where I downloaded it, but Google "Multi-mark mod" and it should get you somewhere. That mod gives you the ability to mark 12 spots to recall too. Its easily one of my favorite mods. :)

Oblivion, while it's less complex than Morrowind, it had better combat and design IMO.

Yeah. I don't see how that would be possible. Stab a guard and you've got all of Cyrodiil attacking.

Yeah. A new engine would be cool. Maybe more variaty in the map and add more towns. Also, more weapons and armor. And a higher level cap.

ESPECIALLY, the real weapons. Chinese Assault Rifle doesn't cut it. Give me choices, like AK-74, M4, XMB.

It's a lot more work to add levels in Fallout though, since you have all of the perks. Imagine how hard it would be to make a lvl 100 level cap with perks?

only if you got Broken Steel. But I think I heard somewhere that New Vegas would at least double the original Fallout 3 cap, so at least level 40. I'm not sure if this was confirmed, but I hope so.

oblivion, well morrowind is very slow you got level up all the time to play it, eg attacking a mudcrab and you will miss plenty of times before causing some damage, there is no voice acting or cutscenes so the story is like reading a book, you got to read everythig, you have to travel long distanced by foot and no teleport, it takes ages, there are not many interesting stufff going on and when you get a quest you got to ask a npc for directions, eg go NW then turn right..... Also the combat has no block unless you have a shield and it takes many hits to kill someone plus armors brake in long fights... bascily its 95% rpg and not action rpg, the monsters dont jump at you and attack, they have to get close and then they attack, just like a non action rpg game.

It wasn't made to be an action RPG. It's a real-time CRPG.

You can teleport, dakan. You can teleport from mages guilds. You can also use spells to teleport. You can also use the silt striders to get from city to city.

Without a doubt it's Morrowind.

Oblivion is clearly dumbed down. It suffers from a severe case of consolitis. I would like to see a true sequel to Morrowind, and not Oblivion.

If the next Elder Scrolls falls in line with Oblivions gameplay, I won't be so anxious to get it. I'll get it, but it will be just a sad reminder of the fact that gameplay is losing out to pretty, shiny graphics.

I'd rather have new Elder Scrolls and Fallout games than remakes. I mean, why make a game, make a sequel, then go remake the other one?(And yes, I know there were two other games in the main series) I think they should leave the games the way they are and just incorporate the good things into new experiences.

I downloaded Daggerfall when it was released as freeware, but haven't got round to playing it yet.

I have only played Oblivion and Morrowind. Both are great games when played with mods. I haven't tried Arena or Daggerfall, but since I like the ES games I have tried, I'm downloading them right now, thanks to the above posts.

I disagree about Morrowind being a weak game. It's very well done. The political and religious disputes between factions is intricate. It's obvious that a great deal of thought went into this game. I doubt most people have done so...but if you take the time to read many of the in-game books, just how much thought was put into the game will reveal itself.
