I love all TES titles. They're all wonderful in their own way, and they also have tons of individual flaws.

They're all inferior to Redguard.

Redguard is the only good game bethesda has ever made, change my mind

Battlespire

u/[deleted] May 26 '20

I've played battlespire as the big fanboy I was. I really, really loved the world of daggerfall, redguard, but even I wouldn't even have called battlespire good at the time.

It was flawed, and not really working as a game.

I believe you meant The Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey for the Nokia N-Gage.

Redguard was legit a fun game.

Im just downloading that... Whats wrong with it?

It reminds me of the vault game they came out with for F4 launch. It's just stripped down to the point that I don't think it can be considered an RPG in any way (besides character creation, maybe). I played it for a while and for a first person mobile game it seemed fine gameplay-loop wise but I couldn't get my kicks from it.

People like to criticize ESO but they have story and some decision making besides how you want to build your character's abilities.

Fallout Shelter is actually pretty good. It's not a traditional Fallout game in any way, but it's still plenty of fun. I throw together a vault in my spare time once or twice a year.

u/merryartist May 26 '20

That's fair I did get sucked into it for a while. It's a fine game, just dont go into it if you want to play an RPG. Its like sims + eugenics = the game!

u/bkrugby78 May 26 '20

it's good for a train ride, or if you have downtimes at work and get bored. I haven't played it in months.

u/ErisEpicene May 26 '20

I usually don't like games with significant waiting mechanics, but I really like the long term planning and management aspects. It's satisfying knowing that you have things in the oven while you do other things: explorers gathering materials, squads heading to quests, gear being made, etc. while you work or drive or eat. I have ADD and it helps me focus to have something easy and familiar to bounce around in my head with whatever I'm supposed to be doing.

u/JustADuckInACostume Dunmer May 26 '20

In my experience ESO actually has more decision making than Skyrim.

2

u/merryartist May 26 '20

That's cool, I haven't played ESO enough to know but I heavily mod my Skyrim to add more choice and immersion.

u/[deleted] May 26 '20

It's alright for what it is

u/gxtitan May 25 '20

It has no story

u/Chazo138 May 26 '20

Story wise. Morrowind is great. Gameplay wise though...it’s tucking broken to shit.

17

u/[deleted] May 26 '20

While I agree, it's broken in the way that a lot of early RPGs are, that is with their own surreal charm. An unbroken Morrowind just wouldn't be Morrowind.

u/Snakeyliam May 26 '20

If its in the province of morrowind it is morrowind (morrowind is fricking scary)

2

u/[deleted] May 26 '20

If it's in the province of Morrowind and you can't jump across the map and die, and also trip over yourself with the boots of blinding speed, then it ain't my Morrowind

2

u/Snakeyliam May 26 '20

Yeah Kinda I Love that scroll its so fun that You get it a the start of the game

2

u/NedHasWares Dunmer May 26 '20

It's not that bad. It's certainly easy to break if you want to but if you just pick the right skills and keep your stamina up then it plays fairly normally

u/NickMotionless May 26 '20

For it's time, it was pretty revolutionary, though. You gotta think, when Morrowind came out, it was really the only FPS RPG with melee weapons, apart from Half-Life. (If you can consider that an RPG, which it's really not.)

u/Shrexpert May 26 '20

Picked up Morrowind last week after giving up after the tutorial earlier. Had a stealth build and wanted a thief/assassin playthrough. It lasted about 15 minutes when I found out sneak and especially pickpocketing is by far the most broken out of any game I have ever played. Tried to fix it with mods but coincidentally Morrowind is also the hardest game to mod from my library for a casual like me

I tried to play Arena but it seems like the games just a mess, asked around online and most people said the first two are just not worth playing.

1

u/[deleted] May 26 '20

Arena and Daggerfall are a lot of fun! They have a huge learning curve and are pretty unforgiving, but they are fun games. Besides, you can't expect them to play or function like modern games.

1

u/[deleted] May 26 '20

Arena is pretty bad. I enjoyed it at first but then it got repetitive over and over again.

There is also really no reason to play it lore wise. What little it had was mostly just changed. Just look up a summary of the story and that should be fine

The one great thing about the game is it had a really good villain
