I know that, and I was only mentioning the Elder Scrolls, I know Fallout doesn't use the "Chosen One" Storyline, the setting doesn't really support that kind of thing, and other companies don't run the 'Chosen One' trope into the ground the way Bethesda does, though honestly, call me a hypocrite but I actually liked how Skyrim gave you special abilities to support your status as a Chosen One, that being of course your Dragonborn powers, even if it does kill Roleplaying, which I suppose could be a double-edged sword, I mean yes I like the idea of having special powers to support your role in the plot but at the same time it's that s#*! that can kill RP potential when mods aren't thrown into the mix

I know but I mean it as a Negative point to the fact that Bethesda has done the "Chosen One" plot to death with one exception (I assume they use it in Elder Scrolls 1&2? I dunno) In Morrowind you're the Nereverine, the reincarnation of the Dunmer Hero, Nerevar, so a Chosen One In Skyrim you're the Dragonborn, a mortal with the soul and powers of a dragon Chosen to defeat Alduin and save the world (I'm not clear on your character's role lore-wise in ESO) But in Oblivion, it's not Destiny that's guiding you, it's all just you being in the right place at the right time, you were in that Prison cell when the Emperor needed to escape through the secret tunnel, you showed up at Kavatch to get Martin only to find it being attacked by Daedra, all coincidence But I didn't want to anger the Morrowind Fanboys and girls cause it's apparently the "Perfect" Elder Scrolls game, well I got one thing to say to you guys, Cliff Racers, 'nuff said

One thing Oblivion's story has that I think makes it superior to Skyrim's, (besides the fact that Oblivion's is longer and more interesting) is you're not the Chosen One in the Oblivion MQ, you're helping the Chosen One (Technically it was Martin who saved all of Tamriel, not you) so you could RP an average joe cause you have no special powers or a big destiny to fulfill and could just say Uriel was just a senile old man And while I would say something about Morrowind (Cause you're the Chosen One there) but I wouldn't want to anger the fanboys for saying something negative about their "Oh so f***ing perfect" RPG

Well I was thinking of the one I mentioned cause Oblivion, that's the first thing the guards say to you if you commit a crime and you're caught

Imagine being able to change the Avast virus alert sound effect to "STOP! You violated the law!"

Fair point, though like I said in my first post, FO4 bored me, the first burn I had fun, but once that ended that's when it got boring, and not even mods could fix that, now part of that could be because I just cannot find and extensive quest mods for Fallout 4 (Skyrim has mods like Wheels of Lull which is one of my favorites. What does Fallout 4 have?

In all honesty I think Bethesda's gotten too comfortible with the modding community, relying on them to fix Bethesda's shortcomings and i'm all for mods, I love them, trust me, but mods should not compromise a developer's creativity, and it seems like that's what's happened with Bethesda, and it's a shame to, I grew up playing and absolutely loving Oblivion and Fallout 3 is certainly my favorite Fallout game (New Vegas might take that place if I give it more attention but that's for another time And I also certainly love Skyrim, but yeah, Fallout 4 and 76 are certainly obvious dips in quality, we'll just have to wait and see if the Elder Scrolls takes that same dip with TES6

I'm not saying Morrowind is a bad game either, I actually enjoyed playing it via the Morroblivion mod, could be my nostalgia talking, it was Oblivion that got me into the Elder Scrolls, I played it when I was growing up, oh I have played Morrowind before but I never got past Balmora without going "Well where the f*** do I go?" (To be fair, I was a kid) so I never got into Morrowind, but I f***ing love Oblivion (Also, Shivering Isles expansion best expansion, fight me)

Obsidian's new IP certainly looks interesting, and of course people are gonna be saying that they're gonna show Bethesda how it's done, and no doubt comparing it to Bethesda's Fallout lineup. But I have a confession to make, I have never played any of the Black Isle Fallout games (I don't like point and click gameplay in all honesty) so my first Fallout game was actually Fallout 3, which I actually really like (Cause I didn't have nostalgia goggles when I went into Fallout 3, I had never even heard of Fallout until I played 3), and of course i'm looking forward to Obisidian's new game I just wanted to get that out there, and i'm sure it'll be superior to Fallout 4 (Fallout 4 bored me more than anything else) and I don't even need to mention Fallout 76 I cannot say anything for Fallout New Vegas, in all honesty that one's still stewing in my mind so i'm not sure what to think of it, I need to play it more to form a definite opinion, but i'm sure you guys probably think it might be at least on par if not somehow better than New Vegas (Cause according to everyone, New Vegas is the best of Bethesda's Fallout games, and it to was developed by Obsidian) I just wanted to say that

Edit: Woops, I swear I thought I was quoting someone else, my bad

Can a moderator please close this thread before it devolves into something I don't want it to devolve into?

Hey it's your preference, I wasn't a fan of it but i'm not shitting on anyone's opinion if they did like it, just please don't try to argue that it's better than Oblivion and Skyrim like it's a fact, cause that's entirely subjective

One of my main problems with it was how you miss almost Ever. Damn. Time, *Attacks dozens of times, only hits once* people b&@*$ about combat in Oblivion and Skyrim being a button masher but really Morrowind was a button masher as well, but more frustrating

That's your opinion

I know what you mean with the magic, but i'm talking about ways to cast, you got channeled spells like Flames (With and without the damaging wall generation, charged projectiles, runes, cloaks) but I will admit it could be a lot better
