Oblivion is low-key the best in the series. Install a few mods such as +5 after one skill-up, realistic bandits (no gear past steel but +10 levels over the PC, increased damage/health), and the Unofficial patch and you are good to go.
@@Travybear1989 The game's only real core flaw is the balancing around level ups and NPC level scaling. You're right that once you fix that it's extremely solid.
I Was 3 Year's Old in 96 When Daggerfall Came Out And Ten in May 2003 When it Was Morrowind I Grew Up With This Gaming Serie's Literally 96 As in 1996 Not 2006 Or 2016 I'm Old As Fuck Compared To Younger Gamer's The Fact I was Born Closer to 1990 or the 1980's Make's Me Feel Really Old Ten Year's Before I was Born was May 1983 Jesus Christ I Feel Old I'm Like Oblivion In Dead Mode 1990's And Earlier is Forever Ago in Gaming Especially sense it's Already 2022 going on 2023 Sonic The Hedgehog Original Doom And Pac Man are all Really Really Old Not To Mention Mario Or Zelda
@@pcpolice2518 what? Skyrim came out in 2011, Fallout 4 came out in 2015, fallout 76 came out in 2018 so it ain't like bethesda hasn't been putting out stuff it's just that what they are putting out is shit also notice how there is an average gap of 4 years between every bethesda game since oblivion(2006) so maybe Starfield will release this year or next year.
The only TES games we’ve gotten since then were Blades and ESO. Both of which are fine, for their intended purposes. Reminds me of how Red Guard and Battle-spire came out sometime between Daggerfall and Morrowind. Then when Morrowind finally came out, it was completely 3D rendered and honed the direction of the series. And in a good way, too. Maybe that’s why TES 6 is taking so long in production: it’s changing or refocusing the direction for the better. Or maybe it’ll take place on another continent for all we know. Atmora, Akaviir, or another continent or Nirn. It’s also possible that Bethesda just became complacent and got a late start on the project.
@@emperorconstantinexipalaio4121 I'm 24 and I believe TES6 will come out in about 2028 and will be playable by 2030. About tbe same time I'll turn 30.
I hated that. _Ultima Underworld_ is not an _Elder Scrolls_ game, nor was it in any way produced by any of the same creators, so I don't really understand why that was included. What, just because it was the primary influence for the creation of _Arena?_ That's silly. _Daggerfall_ totally broke from _Arena,_ creating a new series of RPGs, and it is that line of games that went on. Any connection to _Ultima Underworld_ was severed with _Daggerfall,_ as that RPG had many progenitors - most of which were just traditional CRPGs - but _Ultima Underworld_ was not one of them.
@@Talos827 well it may be a hard experience. This game is really old and it may be a challenge to play it. Better watch some let's plays, then decide if you really want to install this game.
@@arturpapis9189 Have you played the 2D Ultimas also? I actually thought its only 2D...As far as I've read now those "Underworld" games are spin offs? Thanks for the info but I really like surprises I think xD.
I remember when Skyrim was announced when I was like 9 - I would walk around the snowy northern edge of Oblivion's map trying to imagine what the areas beyond would be like. Video games can really hold so much wonder in a child's mind
Yes, I remember that Morrowind came about the same time when this black monolith did. It was my first ES, and first time I used some old bone as a weapon.
You jumped everywhere you went to raise your agility while constantly swinging your sword.Cannot remember if the sword actually had to hit something for it to count towards gaining any experience but I don't think so.If I remember right it was the same with magic you just had to cast it over and over to get experience in it and you didn't even have to hit a Target. I am a God how can you hope to defeat a god.
My first experience with the Elder Scrolls was a demo disc for Daggerfall my friend and I found at Walmart back in the day... the demo was so good that i asked my parents for the full version for x-mas. And I've played every sequel that's come after, and have fond memories of all of them.
I remember my first time playing Oblivion. I was at a friends house, and he showed me his assassin going on a murder spree and barricading himself in the house he purchased to fend off some guards. I was in awe as I had never seen an RPG before, but could never find myself the game until I was vacation one year. My family was very fustrated I didn't want to go to the beach but instead play Oblivion for hours on end.
I loved Oblivion, and it was definitely a fun game when I played. Then I touched Scyrim and I enjoyed that as well. I just enjoy the exploration and storys that can be made from a simple game.
November 11th, 2011 was a great day. Came home from school and played Skyrim for the very first time on my ps3 and was absolutely blown away by the visuals. At the time I hated fantasy games but Skyrim wasn't too overly unrealistic while combining elements of fantasy to give it a nice balance. Still my favorite Elder Scrolls game to date.
Only had a 360 at skyrims release, but I really remember learning about and doing to wuld exploit in whiterun to get out of bounds and just running around the half loaded world in wonder, eventually got a PC so noclip was a thing, but it was really weird to see a huge map like that as a primarily console gamer at the time.
Yes! I had a pirated version, but my friend had thr legit one. It was always cool to look at that thing. He brought it to school a few times and we talked about where we had been.
The first time I was introduced to an Elder Scrolls game was when I was watching my guy friend play Morrowind and a wizard fell from the sky. I’ve been in love with these games ever since.
No joke, probably 15-16 years ago I watched the same thing happen while my older brother played. I remember thinking it was the craziest thing in the world lol I was like 6 at the time and have been hooked on the series since then as well.
@@yesman9792 A lot of players encounter it since it's on one of the two roads you can take out of the starting towns, it's also one of the more memorable things in the game.
I'm now 14 but my first game of the elder scrolls was morrowind, I finished 2 years ago and all my friends said how bad can the graphic of a game be, but till now it's still the best game I ever played and may be the best I will ever play
du musst unbedingt skyrim spielen,glaub mir,war damals auch 14 als es rauskam,wird vllt nich so für dich,aber wenn dir morrowind gefallen hat,dann wird dir das dlc in skyrim sicher auch gut gefallen
Oh yeah morrowind was also my introduction into elder scrolls back in 2002 on the first X box and I was 12 and even though the graphics didn't age well like all videogames from back then its still a great game anyways a true classic of gaming and im glad that 22 years later young people like yourself are discovering some of the greatest games before everyone was obsessed with the graphics even though they were the best at the time lol
I played my dad's Morrowind PC version back in 2014, when I was 15 yr old, that was my first ES game, and I think its better than skyrim(sorry), I revisited it last year with Tamriel Rebirth mod, and it's so great! Maby the graphics are worse than skyrim, but that does not bother me, the completelly freedom of choice and climax is still the Best in this game
My Dad bought Morrowind for himself when I was about 12, the day it launched. He was a huge daggerfall fan, and ended up teaching me how to play - although we already played DnD together at the time, so it wasn't hard for me to understand that Morrowind essentially functions on behind the scenes dice rolls and the concepts, derived stats, and sheer chance surrounding them. I still play Morrowind to this day, fucking 20 years later. What a crazy, flawed, beautiful experience Morrowind is. Truly, no games have affected me as much as a Morrowind and Demons Souls.
I was 22 when morrowind came out. Man, it was a sight to behold. The music, the graphics (according to the era) and going through the game with some basic DnD/MUD background. No exploits, no walkthroughs... I loved that game. I still do.
Back when I started Oblivion on the PS3, I had no idea how to navigate the menus, so I was stuck using the local map without fast travel for the longest time. I traveled through the wilderness from the inn that you meet the heir all the way to Kvatch. I walked up to the city walls and was shitting myself as the sky turned red as I approached. I hugged the city walls as I circled it, searching for the entrance, and was terrified when I saw the first Oblivion gate. Since I hadn't approached from the refugee camp, I figured it might be safer inside the city, only to realize that the city was also overrun and destroyed. I eventually figured out what to do, and how to fast travel, but I have yet to encounter a game that has left such a vivid memory of non scripted events that spanned the course of several hours. I had so much fun with Oblivion that Skyrim just felt meh in comparison
Yeah it's funny, I first played Skyrim about 3 years ago, after having watched a 100 something episode playthrough a long time ago soon after it released (my pc couldn't run it at the time) but it didn't live up to the nostalgia. I got Oblivion probably near the beginning of 2021 and I absolutely love that game. Edit: Oblivion was on sale on Steam that's why I bought it.
@@francisvonfilth8867 oblivion is fundamentally a better game imo, from the atmosphere, music, questlines, etc. Graphics aren't the best but at least i can place things in my house without it disappearing or yeeting later down the line
Morrowind was my first Elder Scrolls, and is still to this day in the top 3 when it comes to the 'best 1st playthrough experiences' that I would want to relive again. No AAA title had the same scale, the grandiose musical score and the sense of wonder like this game had at the time. Absolute Masterpiece until today!
Only game that I've ever gotten literally lost in i tell ya 😂. Made me quit playing it so many times but I always came back. Nothing has ever been so immersive. When you play you're actually looking at the world around you unlike in modern games I find myself looking mostly at the minimap/compass/quest markers :'(
Crazy how revolutionary it was for its time and how quickly it aged like milk. The voice acting is the best in the series though imo - super colourful.
@@merlylvsmEverything about that game aged extremely well in my eyes. I enjoyed it more overall compared to Skyrim. It's such a great balance, not watered down like Skyrim, not annoyingly complicated like Morrowind.
Had never played any on the ES games, never really gave them a chance, until I was purchasing a different RPG from the game store (can’t remember which one). The store clerk asked me if I was excited for the new Skyrim release, and I was a little bit curious on why he thought I would. We then had about five minutes of him explaining the gems of games that were Morrowind and Oblivion to me and mentioned that it was made by the same company that had taken on the fallout series (I had played fallout 3 and NV by this point). Needless to say I preordered Skyrim that day and have not regretted doing so since. Thank you random store worker!
@@addo4164 Me too. First ES game i played and fell in love with it. Want to play others too but the graphics are too old. Though i download the pirated one. I would buy ES games if they remake some of old ones
@@BuXnAMaN lmao, and since technology is evolving, we might sireously see it, being presented by cyborg Todd Howard telling us about how immersive it is with 16k textures and how smooth it runs on next gen of neural link...
People wouldn't like it. It was frustrating, messy and chaotic, definitely not like the polished, pre-chewed bits players prefer nowadays. It's a shame, since NOT understanding how a game works, discovering it yourself, is part of the appeal. It really immerses you into the strange new world and throws you back into childhood, where you didn't know yet how the world worked either. That sense of wonder and excitement you just won't get when everything is laid out in front of you in a clear path to follow. It just feels good to figure out things yourself, find unusual solutions or get lost in an area without a minimap with arrows guiding you to the quest location.
Man i remember opening skyrim with my older brother. Doing the quest untill riverwood. Then jokingly my brother killed a chicken that was hanging arround. And when we actually reached whiterun we were chased by guards. And since then we joked about how a chicken is as important as a human
I did the exact same thing 😂 used to play with my twin brother, and we killed the riverwood chicken... worst mistake I've ever done. DO NOT TOUCH THE RIVERWOOD CHICKEN! 😂
Legendary edition was actually the very first *big* game that i played. This was such a shock to me that you could go in any direction, go to different cities and talk to anybody
Try loading up The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, and walking in any direction - it takes literally WEEKS to walk from one end of the map to the other without fast travel! Of course it's all procedurally generated except for a few story-important cities and dungeons.
@@thewhyzer fun fact: I actually started playing Daggerfall soon after I wrote this comment. And, uh, yeah, it's not a good game. I enjoyed it because it feels like an ancient relic and it's hecking cool but the world of this game feels *even more* dead than in Fallout 1
@@artemyburakh12 It's a good game, but you're really meant to use fast travel between all points of interest instead of traveling the landscape for any length of time.
@@thewhyzer that's sure what I did but man, open world just shows all its problems really well. Almost the entire game is procedurally generated, from quests to dungeons and cities and, yeah, I did enjoy it and it will hold a certain warm spot in my heart, but it is just done awfully. Even games off the same era are much better in almost every way (except for character building, Daggerfall has a ton of variety there. If only all classes were as useful but it's still better than in Skyrim and most games)
I remember being 10 years old when Skyrim came out, and I played it so much yet never got around to beating the game. I've since beaten the game a few times since then. I hope the next game is even better.
I agree. I was around the same age, maybe older by a year or two, and I just played played and played. And I still do every so often. I don’t want to get my hopes up with the next game since although they’ve had plenty of time they might flunk it due to the pressure of Skyrim’s success above them. Then again they might make a game even better than Skyrim since they had plenty of time to make it. Like seriously a person could’ve been young like us playing Skyrim, and if they studied in video game designing and if they got good enough with the right opportunities, they could be working on the next elder scrolls game. Crazy to think we’ve been waiting no for so long there surely is someone who is like that working on the game right now lol
2000 gang in the house I really don't have high expectations for Tes6 with how bad they dropped the ball with fallout 4 and 76. Honestly they'll be doing good to get the game out by 2030.
My uncle pre-ordered Skyrim back on the 360, i remember coming home from school just to walk around and kill a few things. My 360s gone now and with it my character. Rest in peace Nip Nip the Argonian, you will always be my first character in the Elder Scrolls.
I played Morrowind as my first game ever since it was included with the PC my mother bought in 2005-6 and always got put off by it until rediscovering it was the same franchise as Skyrim in 2011 when it came out i was 12 in 2011
@Trevor Walker cool let me just go back 100 years to when people used to slam rocks together with wires attached in order to move their character one inch at a time.
Loved the Dubstep for the original Skyrim release. I originally dipped my toes in Morrowind as my first game, but Oblivion was the first one I truly invested the lion's share of my time in.
Well to be fair they didn't include the game of the year editions of morrowind and oblivion as separate from their base games like they did for legendary and base skyrim and they also didn't include any of the spin-offs like redguard, battlespire or shadowkey. Skyrim is even more disproportionately represented here than it is by bethesda.
@@Ilzhain I don't that's true simply because Skyrim was the last game they released nearly 11 years ago back in 2011. There wasn't such a huge span of time between the other games
My first, and still my favorite, is Morrowind. How many years has it been... I had hope for my life back then. I thought I would finish the university, find a girlfriend, make money, have kids... I had friends. People didn't treat me like trash. I had a clean record. No jail time. I had money. Those were the days...
I'm happy that you are alive and survived your tribulations Michael. I have friends, even an ex who ran in trouble with the law and I despise how the world coldly judges such people.
I remember playing a ton of Morrowind when it first launched on the original Xbox. It was incredible every step of the way, and I have so much nostalgia. I must have played it for thousands of hours as a kid, but there’s one thing I never did: confront dagoth ur
Me and a bunch of my friends bought Skyrim for 360 at the midnight launch. We set up all our 360s and TVs in the same room at one of my friend's apartments so we could all play Skyrim together. That was my first Elder Scrolls experience.
@@JarvisBaileyVA I got a skyrim core memory too. Played it for the first time on my friends PS3 when I was 12. Didn't know how the compass worked and wondered into a giant camp where I proceeded to get launched into the air.
That's quite the effort and hype for a game launch for someone who hasn't played any Elder Scrolls before. None the less, i'm happy you made that experience. Now play Morrowind!
Started skyrim in 2022 didn't realise I couldn download anniversary edition until 6 months later, I was alr level 81 and knew every glitch 😂 I love skyrim
I remember it well, I was a young lad, perhaps 11 years old when I began my journey as a newly freed slave on the isle of Morrowind. No longer bound by the shackles of what the imperialist scum called progress I sought revenge, and within 45 minutes I had locked myself out of the main quest before I began it. Good times.
Oh boy, I remember the pain it was to install Morrowind and its expansion packs. Just for the main game, 2 disks,for the rest, 1 disk for the construction set, 1 disk for bloodmoon and 1 disk for tribunal. The best part was when one file was corrupted and had to re-install everything again until it works.
My first was Morrowind but that was my father's copy, I remember when oblivion came out and I watched him play through the sewers and remarking on the graphics, when I played through I made him kill the zombie for me at the start cause it terrified me at the time, I miss those simpler times.
I bought Skyrim when it came out. I was 11 then and it was first game of this size I played. I spent there so much time. It's so hard to believe it was almost 12 years ago cause my memories of playing it are still so vivid. I would pick it over any other game I played.
I remember playing Arena way back in the really early 90s on my dad's computer. I loved it. I forgot about it but remembered again in high school when Morrowind came out on Xbox. I didn't realize it was from the same series at first but freaked out when I did. I've been playing Elder Scrolls ever since.
@@dfhfhjd6158 Arena literally came out in like the mid 90’s. Even if he was like 15 when he played, he’d still only be in his early 40’s. Just a dedicated fan. I’m envious that he got to experience it as it occurred.
It’s crazy to me that Skyrim is now over a decade old. Glad I played it when I did. Truly think that game was a major reason I like a lot of the things I like today 👍🏻
Oblivion was my 1st, but i never completed it since i got too distracted with killing the adoring fan at dive rock, i even bought skyrim at launch back in 11.11.2011 but decided to do as many side quests before the main storyline and holy hell there are so many of them, so i still havent completed skyrim or oblivion :S
Got my copy of Skyrim as a new year gift on 31st December 2011. Man this game was glitched af, the water was all dark, lights were glitched but hell yaah that was worth it, 11 years later I realize how big Skyrim is.
Just shows how long Bethesda had had dicking around withthe Elder Scroll IP. Seriously given the info we got we may not see ES6 until 2030 nearly 20 years since skyrim and 24 since Oblivion. At least the chosen one, Dovahkiin born 11/11/2011 will be young man by then.
My first ES was Morrowind on the OG Xbox I actually got my copy still sealed in the plastic from a flea market. I still remember the drive home, my body practically humming with anticipation I couldn't wait to start.
Oblivion. Yeah kids, back in my day we had mithril armor and madness set, npc's with nastier faces than your wife when you first wake up, guild quest lines so good you forget you were supposed to stop some evil god from ruining everything and you end up as Mad God himself, still not sure if you were one from the start. DrAGOnBorN do not have sh*t on hero of Kvatch.
Love Skyrim and always will but Oblivion is god-tier and you had to work for your gear not just grind out smithing and enchanting, alchemy too if you're a nerd.
Dragonborn: I kil dramgons The Hero of Kvatch, the Champion of Cyrodiil, and Lord of the Shivering Isles: I have entered to hell. Multiple times. I made the demons there my bitch. ...And that isn't even scratching the surface.
Ah, I miss the days of Oblivion. Even though the faces were terrible, the crazy amount of bugs, the whacky things NPCs would do and........ horse armour. It will always have a special place in my heart.
Yet none of it was fun. It was like oblivion went a million steps back into the primordial pool of all things, ignoring the progress of morrowind and killing the spirit of adventure. Seriously, even daggerfalls radiant quests made me more excited and hyped to quest and explore unlike oblivion. It was like a cartoon parody of the series that was so lame it made me play morrowind until Skyrim. Just saying, it was boring over hyped garbage. I got every achievement, artifact, you name it on a single playthrough that I continued as new dlc was released. I played through that mess. If anything made it fun, it was how memeable it was. That's where it ended though.
Morrowind was my first game, definitely had no clue what I was doing at first. As each game came out ahead of Morrowind it got significantly easier, but none of the games top Morrowind's story in my opinion.
My first game was skyrim like most people probably, but I've gone back and played all the older ones except daggerfall since then and morrowind is my fave. I feel like the morrowind theme gives me nostalgia that I don't even have lol.
Ah, I am the skeleton for having played es Oblivion before skyrim in a time where skyrim existed for years back then cause some game stop employee told little kid Aura that oblivion was cooler He was absolutely right. I do not regret a thing, thank you game stop employee
It’s always a nice GameStop employee shaping our childhood, I remember the day one employee suggested Manhunt 2 to my mom because he thought she was by herself until he saw us with her when was about to pay and he stopped for a second and asked “was the game for you or the kids?” She just looked at him like not knowing if she’ll get in trouble and after two seconds she say “for me”, he even asked if we were her kids and then for her ID because he thought she was a random girl buying games to kids, that was the most hilarious moment for my little 12 years-old-self
Same, my first TES game was Skyrim, then I tried Oblivion, and then I met Morrowind... The first time I played it I was 13 or so and I remember I disliked it so much, the graphics and gameplay were awful and the combat system was so clunky... I hated it. Then, years later as an adult I finally got to finish that damn game. The story itself and its lore behind is 100000x times better than Skyrim's one, and there are a lot of details you could find if you actually looked for them, getting yourself immersed into the story... The gameplay was fun, sure, not the most spectacular battles but you could make your own class and use a lot of weapons Skyrim nor Oblivion had. Like katanas or some other strange weapons I don't recall how they're called... Unique daedric and aedric artifacts (the Daedric Crescent or something like that was one of my favorite weapons, but there were a lot more that were equal or more as cool as that one) you could wear more armor, levitate, use bloody spears, make multiple elemental destruction spells (that was so freaking cool)... And a lot more I already forgot. Ahh, that game was just epic and limitless. Fun, as a game should be. Sure, it's slow at first, but then it gets really addictive... Until you realize there isn't much else to do. I miss that game already and it's been only 2 Years since Ive finished it.
I remember getting Skyrim for the 360 from GameStop when I was a kid. It kept crashing and I traded the disc for another copy of Skyrim twice because it still crashed. On the second trade-in, I simply traded for a pre-owned copy of the Legendary Edition (back when the DLCs were on a separate disc and can reused multiple times).
Man, i remember discovering oblivion like a year before skyrim came out. Since then, i've never been off the elder scrolls. Thousands of hours gametime later it's still one of the anchors keeping me in the gaming community after graduating from school and starting to work.
Ok so I was like 7 when my mom randomly brought home Morrowind. I played the game for 15 minutes and got the biggest vertigo (super migraine) ever. Fast forward to 2020 I played a little bit of Skyrim and loved it but couldn't beat a certain mission so I uninstalled it. In the present, I play Morrowind every day. I'm kinda bummed out I didn't appreciate Morrowind as a child but I was too young to understand the mechanics.
I can remember before I got a 360, my cousin showing me Oblivion for the first time. I genuinely thought blasting rats with a fireball was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen in gaming at that point and it's still probably up there tbf with Oblivions ragdoll physics
Can’t ever forget the time I watched my Big bro play through that intro sequence of Oblivion. That zombie Model was looking hella scary for the time it came out, and I had to ask my big bro to get through that part specifically just so I could continue my own play through back then
First time I saw Oblivion, my older cousin was playing it and it looked so damn cool. Couldn't play it for a few more years, and I was so excited the day I was able to. Oddly enough to this day, I still haven't completed the main quest. I always just fucked around, explored, and murdered my way across Cyrodill.
I love elder scrolls,especially because I’m younger than most people playing it I have an older brother who introduced me to all these games he played,since I was 13 I’ve been playing Skyrim,and have loved it till now,I also played The witcher 3.It’s nice to play games that none of my friends know about,it’s my beautiful secret.I’m 15 now and still playing old RPG games and like them way more than the games my friends play
First for me was the Daggerfall demo that came on one of those 500+ games CDs. I didn't even realize it was an Elderscrolls game until long after I had played Morrowind.
My first elder scrolls was Arena on a demo flopy disk in the 90s and in the demo you could not exit the first dungeon because it asked the player the price of some random armors.
My first ES was Morrowind. For whatever reason, I never finished it. I started playing it again a few weeks ago and it may very well be my favourite entry in the series. Oblivion was an improvement in every way but it always felt too easy because of the quest markers and fast travel.
Same here brother, it's so nostalgic to go back and play it again after 6/7 years. Tho unrelated to the topic Gothic games are my start of gaming adventure I was maybe 6 years old when I first played it.
I remember seeing my friend play oblivion for the first time over 15 years ago and was just blown away with all of it. The music, the atmosphere, even the npcs! Back then you didn't have la noire or gta 5 to compare the faces and conversations, despite awkwardness back in the day the residents of cyrodill were the cutting edge.
My first game was Morrowind as a kid. I was born in 91 but didn't have a PC in my early childhood. I eventually bought a used copy of Morrowind for the original Xbox and was blown away. I found the wizard who falls from the sky and used his spell thing to launch myself. First try I survived and ended up near some tower with merchants inside. I went inside and just tripped out on how they had items laid out on a table for you to look at. The interaction with the npc's and how you could ask different questions. Man, it was truly mind-blowing when it came out. I'm currently doing another playthrough and while it shows it's age, it's definitely an in depth rpg through and through. After adding the ashfall mod, I'm having a blast crafting and camping around.
started Oblivion a few years ago, and then Skyrim, clocked in about 400 hours for both games so far and there’s still so much to discover. The beginning of both these games blew my mind, I worship both of them and appreciate them equally. Can’t wait to eventually begin Morrowind and complete the trifecta
I still remember being scared to death of the zombies at the start of oblivion and that I put the Map included with the game up on my wall next to the TV, thinking it would help me in the game, when in reality I couldn’t even read regular maps properly back then.
@@nosomusk864 To be fair, the zombies in Oblivion can infect you with diseases. They aren't deadly, but heavily annoying, because they lower stats and stuff like that, so it's very understandable, if someone wants to stay as far away from them as possible. ...That's why there are fire and "The Senate" spells to either set them on fire or electrocute them.
@@nosomusk864 I legit got scared of the zombie that get shown in the images that were shown while installing the game. I still don't understand why the Game of the Year edition was rated 12+ in Germany
I remember when i got my hands on TES Oblivion, been 13 yrs back then. Just running around, exploring the map, no coins to buy any food, no weapons or skills in combat, but running in night to houses and stealing food from table and then running away from cities and guards to consume it there. Then went into actual story and started to play main quest.. then around 2009. still playing it with all possible mods, with dragons, angel wings, weapon mods, dlc's. That game was a life simulation for me. Going to 2011., got Skyrim.. gosh that was a boom that year. Remembering that during studying breaks in library, only thing on my mind was what to do next in Skyrim, thinking of my next steps. Spending my Friday nights and weekends in that world. Those were some nice times
Had Daggerfall on a demo disk, and the crazy thing was it gave you a year (in game) to play. So much to do on that small island they put you on. So many manhunt by terminator-esque guards.
I remember coming home after finishing my winter exams at university, sitting down to play Skyrim when it came out, and not stopping for two weeks straight. When i went back to class i had a lvl 52 character and had the opening theme etched into my brain.
my god, I remember being a kid on my first pc and then Skyrim came out (the first game lol) and I was like "omg these are the best graphics possible, it's like real life" and I proceed to download it from a pirate page since I had no money. I remember playing 10 minutes at 5fps and then uninstalling it. Luckily I found out about Morrowind and donwloaded it two days later since my Internet was so slow, it took roughly 1-2 days per game to download, surely Skyrim took far more time. I think I was 10 years old at that time and I discovered the game because of a youtuber called elRubius
I wish we could go back in time to experience skyrim for the first time on christmas mornin all over again. That first dragon fight and you spamming buttons to just barely come out with anything was something else
Played Skyrim just after it released when I was five or six years old. It honestly terrified me so I refused to try to play through the whole game until I was a little older.
Same with me but oblivion instead some missions are like actual horror missions with the ghosts and zombies so I refused to play it when I was younger.
im almost 17 years old and im feeling already old cuz my first elder scrolls game was oblivion, great game, i wish i was older when i played it so i could enjoyed and understood it better, but still a nice memory
I'm happy to see a young person having Oblivion as their first Elder Scrolls game, I was about your age when I played Oblivion, it was also my first elder scrolls experience, though I played it like 1 year or two after it came out, I'm 31 now.

Best comment.
To be fair it’s not like they re released the vanilla game seven times. Each time had no content.
Oblivion is low-key the best in the series. Install a few mods such as +5 after one skill-up, realistic bandits (no gear past steel but +10 levels over the PC, increased damage/health), and the Unofficial patch and you are good to go.
@@Travybear1989 The game's only real core flaw is the balancing around level ups and NPC level scaling. You're right that once you fix that it's extremely solid.

Being old while still in Skyrim shows just how long we've waited for a new entry.
The only TES games we’ve gotten since then were Blades and ESO. Both of which are fine, for their intended purposes. Reminds me of how Red Guard and Battle-spire came out sometime between Daggerfall and Morrowind. Then when Morrowind finally came out, it was completely 3D rendered and honed the direction of the series. And in a good way, too.
Maybe that’s why TES 6 is taking so long in production: it’s changing or refocusing the direction for the better. Or maybe it’ll take place on another continent for all we know. Atmora, Akaviir, or another continent or Nirn.
It’s also possible that Bethesda just became complacent and got a late start on the project.
Yeah I was 12 when I bought Skyrim. I am about to turn 25. I have my doubts of seeing another ES title before 30.

Loved that Ultima Underworld at the end. This game was so important back then.
I hated that. _Ultima Underworld_ is not an _Elder Scrolls_ game, nor was it in any way produced by any of the same creators, so I don't really understand why that was included. What, just because it was the primary influence for the creation of _Arena?_ That's silly. _Daggerfall_ totally broke from _Arena,_ creating a new series of RPGs, and it is that line of games that went on. Any connection to _Ultima Underworld_ was severed with _Daggerfall,_ as that RPG had many progenitors - most of which were just traditional CRPGs - but _Ultima Underworld_ was not one of them.

I was in awe as I had never seen an RPG before, but could never find myself the game until I was vacation one year. My family was very fustrated I didn't want to go to the beach but instead play Oblivion for hours on end.

November 11th, 2011 was a great day. Came home from school and played Skyrim for the very first time on my ps3 and was absolutely blown away by the visuals. At the time I hated fantasy games but Skyrim wasn't too overly unrealistic while combining elements of fantasy to give it a nice balance. Still my favorite Elder Scrolls game to date.

Back when I started Oblivion on the PS3, I had no idea how to navigate the menus, so I was stuck using the local map without fast travel for the longest time. I traveled through the wilderness from the inn that you meet the heir all the way to Kvatch. I walked up to the city walls and was shitting myself as the sky turned red as I approached. I hugged the city walls as I circled it, searching for the entrance, and was terrified when I saw the first Oblivion gate.
Since I hadn't approached from the refugee camp, I figured it might be safer inside the city, only to realize that the city was also overrun and destroyed. I eventually figured out what to do, and how to fast travel, but I have yet to encounter a game that has left such a vivid memory of non scripted events that spanned the course of several hours. I had so much fun with Oblivion that Skyrim just felt meh in comparison
That’s so cool!
Very similar experience
Yeah it's funny, I first played Skyrim about 3 years ago, after having watched a 100 something episode playthrough a long time ago soon after it released (my pc couldn't run it at the time) but it didn't live up to the nostalgia.

We then had about five minutes of him explaining the gems of games that were Morrowind and Oblivion to me and mentioned that it was made by the same company that had taken on the fallout series (I had played fallout 3 and NV by this point).

People wouldn't like it. It was frustrating, messy and chaotic, definitely not like the polished, pre-chewed bits players prefer nowadays. It's a shame, since NOT understanding how a game works, discovering it yourself, is part of the appeal. It really immerses you into the strange new world and throws you back into childhood, where you didn't know yet how the world worked either. That sense of wonder and excitement you just won't get when everything is laid out in front of you in a clear path to follow. It just feels good to figure out things yourself, find unusual solutions or get lost in an area without a minimap with arrows guiding you to the quest location.
Man i remember opening skyrim with my older brother. Doing the quest untill riverwood. Then jokingly my brother killed a chicken that was hanging arround. And when we actually reached whiterun we were chased by guards. And since then we joked about how a chicken is as important as a human

Oh boy, I remember the pain it was to install Morrowind and its expansion packs. Just for the main game, 2 disks,for the rest, 1 disk for the construction set, 1 disk for bloodmoon and 1 disk for tribunal.
The best part was when one file was corrupted and had to re-install everything again until it works.
Ah the joys of installing from disks. If you say floppy disk to millennial nowadays they probably would think you have erectile dysfunction. 🤣
@@99bulldog Bro you do realize millennials are in their late 30s now right? Floppy disks were a thing when I was a kid and I'm 21.
My first was Morrowind but that was my father's copy, I remember when oblivion came out and I watched him play through the sewers and remarking on the graphics, when I played through I made him kill the zombie for me at the start cause it terrified me at the time, I miss those simpler times.
I bought Skyrim when it came out. I was 11 then and it was first game of this size I played. I spent there so much time. It's so hard to believe it was almost 12 years ago cause my memories of playing it are still so vivid. I would pick it over any other game I played.
I remember playing Arena way back in the really early 90s on my dad's computer. I loved it. I forgot about it but remembered again in high school when Morrowind came out on Xbox. I didn't realize it was from the same series at first but freaked out when I did. I've been playing Elder Scrolls ever since.
I mean, you must be old not gonna lie xd
@@dfhfhjd6158 Fair enough haha
@@dfhfhjd6158
Arena literally came out in like the mid 90’s. Even if he was like 15 when he played, he’d still only be in his early 40’s.
Just a dedicated fan. I’m envious that he got to experience it as it occurred.
It’s crazy to me that Skyrim is now over a decade old. Glad I played it when I did. Truly think that game was a major reason I like a lot of the things I like today 👍🏻
It's hard to believe Oblivion came out in 2006! It feels like only a little while ago that it was a revolutionary next-gen RPG.
Oblivion was my 1st, but i never completed it since i got too distracted with killing the adoring fan at dive rock, i even bought skyrim at launch back in 11.11.2011 but decided to do as many side quests before the main storyline and holy hell there are so many of them, so i still havent completed skyrim or oblivion :S
Yeah, Skyrim was actually a pretty big marking point in my life in regards to the kind of stuff I would come to enjoy
Got my copy of Skyrim as a new year gift on 31st December 2011. Man this game was glitched af, the water was all dark, lights were glitched but hell yaah that was worth it, 11 years later I realize how big Skyrim is.
Just shows how long Bethesda had had dicking around withthe Elder Scroll IP. Seriously given the info we got we may not see ES6 until 2030 nearly 20 years since skyrim and 24 since Oblivion.
At least the chosen one, Dovahkiin born 11/11/2011 will be young man by then.
My first ES was Morrowind on the OG Xbox I actually got my copy still sealed in the plastic from a flea market. I still remember the drive home, my body practically humming with anticipation I couldn't wait to start.
Oblivion. Yeah kids, back in my day we had mithril armor and madness set, npc's with nastier faces than your wife when you first wake up, guild quest lines so good you forget you were supposed to stop some evil god from ruining everything and you end up as Mad God himself, still not sure if you were one from the start. DrAGOnBorN do not have sh*t on hero of Kvatch.
Love Skyrim and always will but Oblivion is god-tier and you had to work for your gear not just grind out smithing and enchanting, alchemy too if you're a nerd.
Dragonborn: I kil dramgons
The Hero of Kvatch, the Champion of Cyrodiil, and Lord of the Shivering Isles: I have entered to hell. Multiple times. I made the demons there my bitch.
...And that isn't even scratching the surface.
Ah, I miss the days of Oblivion. Even though the faces were terrible, the crazy amount of bugs, the whacky things NPCs would do and........ horse armour. It will always have a special place in my heart.
Oblivion in many ways, is a terrible game. But it's also the greatest game ever made, and I will stand by that until I die
Yet none of it was fun. It was like oblivion went a million steps back into the primordial pool of all things, ignoring the progress of morrowind and killing the spirit of adventure. Seriously, even daggerfalls radiant quests made me more excited and hyped to quest and explore unlike oblivion. It was like a cartoon parody of the series that was so lame it made me play morrowind until Skyrim. Just saying, it was boring over hyped garbage. I got every achievement, artifact, you name it on a single playthrough that I continued as new dlc was released. I played through that mess. If anything made it fun, it was how memeable it was. That's where it ended though.
23 years old, started my journey with a masterpiece - Morrowind ❤️
Masterpiece, yes!
My too))
God tier
Morrowind was my first game, definitely had no clue what I was doing at first. As each game came out ahead of Morrowind it got significantly easier, but none of the games top Morrowind's story in my opinion.
Only game that told you to come look upon the heart.
I started with morrowind before I even knew english
@@Kokotroko Come and look upon the heart, Sweet Nerevar
My first game was skyrim like most people probably, but I've gone back and played all the older ones except daggerfall since then and morrowind is my fave. I feel like the morrowind theme gives me nostalgia that I don't even have lol.
Me, too.
Og Skyrim for me, I first played it when I was 4 years old back in 2012
Ah, I am the skeleton for having played es Oblivion before skyrim in a time where skyrim existed for years back then cause some game stop employee told little kid Aura that oblivion was cooler
He was absolutely right. I do not regret a thing, thank you game stop employee
I played Morrowind as the first elder scrolls game.. 😄
It’s always a nice GameStop employee shaping our childhood, I remember the day one employee suggested Manhunt 2 to my mom because he thought she was by herself until he saw us with her when was about to pay and he stopped for a second and asked “was the game for you or the kids?” She just looked at him like not knowing if she’ll get in trouble and after two seconds she say “for me”, he even asked if we were her kids and then for her ID because he thought she was a random girl buying games to kids, that was the most hilarious moment for my little 12 years-old-self
Same lol
Man, I remember the first time I played Morrowind. THAT was a truly magical experience that 100 versions of Skyrim will never match.
Same, my first TES game was Skyrim, then I tried Oblivion, and then I met Morrowind... The first time I played it I was 13 or so and I remember I disliked it so much, the graphics and gameplay were awful and the combat system was so clunky... I hated it.
Then, years later as an adult I finally got to finish that damn game. The story itself and its lore behind is 100000x times better than Skyrim's one, and there are a lot of details you could find if you actually looked for them, getting yourself immersed into the story... The gameplay was fun, sure, not the most spectacular battles but you could make your own class and use a lot of weapons Skyrim nor Oblivion had. Like katanas or some other strange weapons I don't recall how they're called... Unique daedric and aedric artifacts (the Daedric Crescent or something like that was one of my favorite weapons, but there were a lot more that were equal or more as cool as that one) you could wear more armor, levitate, use bloody spears, make multiple elemental destruction spells (that was so freaking cool)... And a lot more I already forgot. Ahh, that game was just epic and limitless. Fun, as a game should be. Sure, it's slow at first, but then it gets really addictive... Until you realize there isn't much else to do.
I miss that game already and it's been only 2 Years since Ive finished it.
Wow Saber is a gamer
Just collecting candles in Morrowind is superior to all the other games in the series.
Because spending several hours in a game
Trying to figure out where ahemmmheraboriahhhemmmborah is from a drug addict NPC is fun
Seriously.
you really hit me with the Ultima... ouch
Same here. I used to love that damn game. 🤣 Think I was 11-12ish
I remember getting Skyrim for the 360 from GameStop when I was a kid. It kept crashing and I traded the disc for another copy of Skyrim twice because it still crashed.
On the second trade-in, I simply traded for a pre-owned copy of the Legendary Edition (back when the DLCs were on a separate disc and can reused multiple times).
Almost everyone who’s played Morrowind: Newton can’t keep me on the ground.
Man, i remember discovering oblivion like a year before skyrim came out. Since then, i've never been off the elder scrolls. Thousands of hours gametime later it's still one of the anchors keeping me in the gaming community after graduating from school and starting to work.
This made me feel old even though the first I played was Skyrim
First version ?
@@skell6134 Yeah, not even legendary edition
@@TacticalProjectGaming noice

Ok so I was like 7 when my mom randomly brought home Morrowind. I played the game for 15 minutes and got the biggest vertigo (super migraine) ever. Fast forward to 2020 I played a little bit of Skyrim and loved it but couldn't beat a certain mission so I uninstalled it. In the present, I play Morrowind every day. I'm kinda bummed out I didn't appreciate Morrowind as a child but I was too young to understand the mechanics.
I can remember before I got a 360, my cousin showing me Oblivion for the first time. I genuinely thought blasting rats with a fireball was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen in gaming at that point and it's still probably up there tbf with Oblivions ragdoll physics
Oblivion was the most unique game on the 360 or PC. There was 0 game like it in 2006. Now I feel like there are a million Skyrims and clones
@@jamesfitzgerald1684 there have been 0 Skyrim clones to date wtf are you in about
Can’t ever forget the time I watched my Big bro play through that intro sequence of Oblivion.
That zombie Model was looking hella scary for the time it came out, and I had to ask my big bro to get through that part specifically just so I could continue my own play through back then
First time I saw Oblivion, my older cousin was playing it and it looked so damn cool. Couldn't play it for a few more years, and I was so excited the day I was able to. Oddly enough to this day, I still haven't completed the main quest. I always just fucked around, explored, and murdered my way across Cyrodill.
Skyrim devs: if the horse is dead it's not animal abuse anymore.
I love elder scrolls,especially because I’m younger than most people playing it
I have an older brother who introduced me to all these games he played,since I was 13 I’ve been playing Skyrim,and have loved it till now,I also played The witcher 3.It’s nice to play games that none of my friends know about,it’s my beautiful secret.I’m 15 now and still playing old RPG games and like them way more than the games my friends play
Calling OG Skyrim old makes me feel incredibly old. I remember taking off work at the same job I work at now to play Skyrim.
Time, you fickle bitch.
Trust me, the witcher 3 and skyrim are absolutely not unknown.
I'm surprised none of your friends know Skyrim or Witcher 3 😅
Happy you like the games, bro, but I don't if Skyrim and TW3 count as "old RPG games"
@@kostasspirou1010 yeah it’s weird,even some of my older friends that are like 18 don’t know these game
Reject Humanity, Return to Monke - That's where I am.
As a person who originally played skyrim on the ps3,i can confirm i was born in 1910
It felt like being in 1910, god damn game barely even ran on the PS3. From what I hear, Xbox 360 was better, but not by much.
First for me was the Daggerfall demo that came on one of those 500+ games CDs. I didn't even realize it was an Elderscrolls game until long after I had played Morrowind.
Personally my first was Morrowind and I still play it to this day. Absolute banger
for 348 years??
Mine was Skyrim on Switch (granted, I got it like 4 years after it was released). Because of this, I’ve only ever played vanilla Skyrim.
My first elder scrolls was Arena on a demo flopy disk in the 90s and in the demo you could not exit the first dungeon because it asked the player the price of some random armors.
Respect, honor and glory to those that have been here since Ultima Underworld.
You are legends among tales
My first ES was Morrowind. For whatever reason, I never finished it. I started playing it again a few weeks ago and it may very well be my favourite entry in the series. Oblivion was an improvement in every way but it always felt too easy because of the quest markers and fast travel.
Same here brother, it's so nostalgic to go back and play it again after 6/7 years. Tho unrelated to the topic Gothic games are my start of gaming adventure I was maybe 6 years old when I first played it.
I thinking of trying morroblivion.
"My first ES was Morrowind. For whatever reason, i never finished it."
Me: *Chuckles in Dagoth Ur* "What a grand and intoxicating innocence."
Finish it swit
So uhm... Tamriel Rebuilt just released another update *cough*
I remember seeing my friend play oblivion for the first time over 15 years ago and was just blown away with all of it. The music, the atmosphere, even the npcs! Back then you didn't have la noire or gta 5 to compare the faces and conversations, despite awkwardness back in the day the residents of cyrodill were the cutting edge.
My first game was Morrowind as a kid. I was born in 91 but didn't have a PC in my early childhood. I eventually bought a used copy of Morrowind for the original Xbox and was blown away. I found the wizard who falls from the sky and used his spell thing to launch myself. First try I survived and ended up near some tower with merchants inside. I went inside and just tripped out on how they had items laid out on a table for you to look at. The interaction with the npc's and how you could ask different questions. Man, it was truly mind-blowing when it came out.
I'm currently doing another playthrough and while it shows it's age, it's definitely an in depth rpg through and through. After adding the ashfall mod, I'm having a blast crafting and camping around.
started Oblivion a few years ago, and then Skyrim, clocked in about 400 hours for both games so far and there’s still so much to discover. The beginning of both these games blew my mind, I worship both of them and appreciate them equally. Can’t wait to eventually begin Morrowind and complete the trifecta
the virgin: “skyrim is trash because it’s been milked to death”
the chad: appreciating it alongside other games from the elder scrolls series
I still remember being scared to death of the zombies at the start of oblivion and that I put the Map included with the game up on my wall next to the TV, thinking it would help me in the game, when in reality I couldn’t even read regular maps properly back then.
@@nosomusk864 To be fair, the zombies in Oblivion can infect you with diseases. They aren't deadly, but heavily annoying, because they lower stats and stuff like that, so it's very understandable, if someone wants to stay as far away from them as possible.
...That's why there are fire and "The Senate" spells to either set them on fire or electrocute them.
@@nosomusk864 I legit got scared of the zombie that get shown in the images that were shown while installing the game. I still don't understand why the Game of the Year edition was rated 12+ in Germany
@@darnok6407
Those ratings aren't based on how scary sth is.
I was waiting for a last second "Rouge" inclusion, but you really got me by throwing in Ultima underworld.
0:33 - my first Elder Scrolls game was Morrowind. I am MONKE!
Imga supremacy
I too am Monke.
I remember when i got my hands on TES Oblivion, been 13 yrs back then.
Just running around, exploring the map, no coins to buy any food, no weapons or skills in combat, but running in night to houses and stealing food from table and then running away from cities and guards to consume it there.
Then went into actual story and started to play main quest.. then around 2009. still playing it with all possible mods, with dragons, angel wings, weapon mods, dlc's.
That game was a life simulation for me.
Going to 2011., got Skyrim.. gosh that was a boom that year. Remembering that during studying breaks in library, only thing on my mind was what to do next in Skyrim, thinking of my next steps.
Spending my Friday nights and weekends in that world.
Those were some nice times
my first ES was Fallout 3
it's funny because you've never heard of Redguard or Battlespire.
Had Daggerfall on a demo disk, and the crazy thing was it gave you a year (in game) to play. So much to do on that small island they put you on. So many manhunt by terminator-esque guards.
I remember coming home after finishing my winter exams at university, sitting down to play Skyrim when it came out, and not stopping for two weeks straight. When i went back to class i had a lvl 52 character and had the opening theme etched into my brain.
my god, I remember being a kid on my first pc and then Skyrim came out (the first game lol) and I was like "omg these are the best graphics possible, it's like real life" and I proceed to download it from a pirate page since I had no money. I remember playing 10 minutes at 5fps and then uninstalling it. Luckily I found out about Morrowind and donwloaded it two days later since my Internet was so slow, it took roughly 1-2 days per game to download, surely Skyrim took far more time. I think I was 10 years old at that time and I discovered the game because of a youtuber called elRubius
As someone who started with Oblivion this is in fact real and true.
I remember being I think around 9 years old when I got the first original og Skyrim now I'm 16 time flies fast and I still love the game 😭
I was like 10 years old playing morrowind , became one of my favorite games of all time . That was probably 2-3 years after its release in 02 .
I wish we could go back in time to experience skyrim for the first time on christmas mornin all over again.
That first dragon fight and you spamming buttons to just barely come out with anything was something else
Played Skyrim just after it released when I was five or six years old. It honestly terrified me so I refused to try to play through the whole game until I was a little older.
Same with me but oblivion instead some missions are like actual horror missions with the ghosts and zombies so I refused to play it when I was younger.
Oblivion.
Based 🙏

Once my PS3 passed on a year or so ago, I upgraded to the Nintendo switch version of Skyrim, AND NOW I CAN PLAY IT *ANYWHERE*
It was Oblivion, and is still my favourite, even though I played Skyrim far more, and played Morrowind too ^^
I love how the beginning was truly accurate.... and then the rest was even more so!
im almost 17 years old and im feeling already old cuz my first elder scrolls game was oblivion, great game, i wish i was older when i played it so i could enjoyed and understood it better, but still a nice memory
I'm happy to see a young person having Oblivion as their first Elder Scrolls game, I was about your age when I played Oblivion, it was also my first elder scrolls experience, though I played it like 1 year or two after it came out, I'm 31 now.
My man didn't include the legend that is The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard
Ah yes. I remember playing Ultima underworld for the first time. What an experience
