Buggy as hell

Combat is rudimentary and easy

Laughable dialogue and voice acting

Open World that is 75% empty space dotted with random dungeons

Not a good series

Eh they fill a niche. I can't replay them now though, that's for sure. And I don't get why everyone loved Skyrim when they dumbed it down so friggin' much from the previous games.

The point is, the goods outweigh all that stuff. It's not that people are so dumb they don't notice, like you probably thought going into this topic.

The dumb opinions are usually the ones that don't realize people aren't as dumb as they think.

The problem is that it fills a very big niche. I can't really think of any series that tries to tackle open world RPGs in the way the Elder Scrolls games do.

They're definitely flawed as hell, but still I love Morrowind (probably the most flawed out of the most recent 3). Michael Kirkbride's writing is great, and the modding community is amazing (albeit a bit of a crutch for Bethesda).

Requiring mods to make a game better is not a sign of a good game.

Well, if that's like, your opinion man.

I know they are flawed but there aren't any fantasy games like them.

Even in Skyrim, which apparently was "dumbed down"...it wasn't. It's actually gameplay is far more complex than Morrowind and Oblivion. Sure there aren't 60 different stats but what those stats did is actually represented in the new perk system.

I'm on my third our fourth character on Switch, and it's my best save file. Even vanilla has lots of room for Role Playing.

I feel like its a lot worse in Fallout 4 and Skyrim. A lot of the world is just empty places with no value to the games.

It's less accessible than Skyrim. But if you take the time to get into it, it is far more rewarding.

I agree with all your individual points but I still loved and played the shit out of oblivion and skyrim.

I nodded oblivion with FCOM mod and it became the most perfect RG I ever played after that. Pity the producers dont want that kind of RPG experience.

Ive said for years every entry improves in some areas at cost to other areas. Like Skyrim added dual wielding weapons but dumbed down the leveling up/skills. That said better graphics always makes it a easier pill to swallow for most people. Im guilty myself. Like only reason I play the latest final fantasy dissidia is because the vastly better graphics plus new characters. I'll be the first to tell the gameplay is worse than the first two games.

I enjoyed the game as is. I dont have the patience for keeping up with a PC and this gen i went with ps4 and fuck what little mods they offer. Not buying it again for that or the upgraded graphics.
