Honestly, my main gripe is the removal of it's factions system, weapon degradation and hardcore. Being able to slaugheter an Imperial camp and then be best buddies with the Legate seems really off. Also, I was never keen on my sword not dulling. I tend to try and replace my sword every two hours I play, to emulate having it go blunt. Also, with the amount of food in the game, it seemed odd there was no way to get hungry. It was all relatively useless, considering a potion coulf give 10x more health benefit.
Yeah Skyrim had a lot of stupid shit in it, but it was still fun at least. For stuff like hunger and weapon degradation though, I am fine with just leaving that to RP if I have to, but it's cool to have it built into the game.

"Size of an ocean with the depth of a puddle" is a nice quote regarding skyrim. Absurdly fun to play, but really quite shallow when you get down to it, I guess. I'm looking forward to getting a gaming PC so I can mod the shit out of it.
That's why I liked Oblivion. I mean the character models are ugly as sin, the combat is atrociously terrible, and the level scaling can get a bit silly, but the cool shit it does have makes up for it in my mind.  I tried to play Morrowind but I couldn't get into it for the life of me.

I've been considering going back to oblivion. I made the unfortunate mistake of playing it after skyrim, so it was a bit of a shock to see a game that wasn't as.. eh, refined, I guess, as skyrim was. Looks like a game from the early days of the PS2 or Xbox.

I got to become grand champion of the arena, though, I remember that. People say that becoing master of the thieve's guild or dark brotherhood was easy in skyrim, but I became grand champion pretty damn easily.
Thieves Guild in Oblivion is fun as shit tho

that's why I play a thief first in every single fucking fantasy RPG I play now

I must confess, Elder Scrolls is my only fantasy series. I've looked at dragon age, but I dunno. It looks too WoW-ey, if that makes sense. Not big on the gameplay style.
I don't like Dragon Age, but I mostly play the Elder Scrolls games if I want a fantasy RPG because few games let you actually roleplay.

Hmm. I think that's why I never even glanced at the witcher hype train. I tend to like my open-worlder's with character customisation.

That said, I could never get into Dark Souls. Though, grated, that was for different reasons entirely.

I don't think of games like Dark Souls as RPGs really, so I just think of it as an action game with RPG elements to it.

I suppose. I'm still baffled how the series has effectively extended to five games, as Demon Souls and Bloodborne are basically Dark Souls anyway, from what I've heard.
