So boring. The graphics weren't even that good.

Why is it so popular?

It came out 17 years ago. The open world games that compared to it back then were mostly unmatched.

Because it was an excellent sandbox game. The fact that you've never actually played a worse one speaks more to you not playing the genre than anything else.

The graphics were trash though. Hence why everyone collectively points and laughs at anyone who played it on a system without mods.

Immersion was the main selling point. No other games at the time offered that level of being in the game.

But can we laugh at that awful scaling system? Loved coming across low level bandits wearing glass armour and your build being so fucking nerfed because you dared to jump around and swim too much.

I need to know TC's age. Anyone who was into gaming when it released knows how amazing it was for it's time.

I still go back and replay it from time to time because it's my favorite setting from any Elder Scrolls game. Skyrim is too dark and gloomy everywhere.

Did you ever play it modded?

I took the time to install FCOM which took HOURS, and it was an incredible game after that.

Oblivion was incredible.
So incredible that on my old shitty PC I had to play on Very Low settings which eliminated all lighting effects and was ugly as hell but I still had fun.

Skyrim was my 1st TES game.
That game made me grab morrowind & oblivion.
Ive started playing morrowind some time ago and skyrims solstheim mirrors it so far from what ive seen...in a good way.

Whenever i beat Morrowind is when id get into Oblivion tbh. Although Skyblivion might get me back into TES again...
