Llyranor Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Help me, Obs, I need help deciding which game is right for me. As you may or may not know, I thoroughly dislike the Elder Scrolls games. I've only played Morrowind and Oblivion, though, so it's a fairly narrow view on the franchise. Even though I've consistently bashed the games on numerous occasions, I feel as though perhaps there is some redeeming value to me. Millions of people can't be wrong, after all! For this reason, I've decided to keep an open mind and broaden my horizons! I've decided to go out and purchase and try out one of the many expansion packs for these games, to see if I can try to get back into them. I've created a poll so as to decide which one will be best for me? I want to know which one has the best value for me! I hope I change my mind on the ES series I may end up disliking these new games and posting on numerous (unrelated) threads about them, but I'll never know without at least giving them a chance, right? Thanks, guys! (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)

Rosbjerg Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 I propose the Horse Armour - it's one of the deepest expansions I've ever seen. It's rich in details, adds replayability - and well - just plain good old fun! Fortune favors the bald.
Shryke Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Bloodmoon werewolves for the win! when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
Morgoth Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 I too think horse armor makes for better roll-playing. Rain makes everything better.
Pop Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 With horse-armor, your horse is elevated from inanimate vehicle to vital and important non-player character. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Shryke Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 how about a rideable armoured werewolf? damn i gotta go find me a mod that includes that when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
SteveThaiBinh Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 The secret when you're not sure if you'll like something is to buy two copies. Double the money, double the fun! Forget horse armour and leave the horses at home. Instead, you can work on your running and jumping skills. Cyrodil was designed to be skipped through.

Shryke Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 if only you could a rideable Mudcrab or Cliff Racer or something.... when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
mkreku Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 This sounds like Hades when he was trying to broaden his horizons by playing FPS's.. Next thread by Llyranor will be named "Why I'm quitting gaming FOREVAH!!1!". Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Hurlshort Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 Actually Shivering Isle is a very imaginitive quest line with excellent puzzles.
Dark_Raven Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 There's no PoR 2 option. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

Musopticon? Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 Actually Shivering Isle is a very imaginitive quest line with excellent puzzles. I wouldn't say excellent puzzles, but it is the best Elder Scrolls thing since Redguard. The difficulty isn't insane anymore, so you don't have to metagame the **** out of the system, the story pulls you in, it's visually imaginative, engrossingly crafted and the few characters that are built upon are about a hundred times more interesting than the sorry sods in Oblivion. Yes, it doesn't do away with some of the flaws in the main game, but the additions fortunately overshadow them. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

They definitely didd a better job with character development.
Nick_i_am Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Nice arguments guys, but horse armour is still winning. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Jaesun Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 How about none of those choices. Make a stand and refuse to give money to Bethesda's/Zenimax' "re-envisioning" of the RPG (Really Pretty Graphics), and spend your money on better games. Like I did. /troll Some of my Youtube Classic Roland MT-32 Video Game Music videos | My Music | My Photography
Hurlshort Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 I don't get the whole re-envisioning comment. Bethesda has always made their RPG's a certain way, going back to Arena and Daggerfall. They aren't some newbie trying to change the world of RPG's, they've been around a long time and they keep doing what has brought them success. Just because it isn't a formula that you appreciate doesn't mean it's some evil company.
Jaesun Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 (edited) ...they keep doing what has brought them success. You are indeed correct. they've been around a long time... No actually, most of the people that developed Arena and Daggerfall...and Morrowind have left.. out of disgust with Bethesda/Zenimax. ( i.e. the Lead designer of Morrowind).

SteveThaiBinh Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 "re-envisioning" of the RPG (Really Pretty Graphics) It's not as if they're even that pretty, really. I found NWN2 to be much more visually satisfying than Oblivion. Thinking about Oblivion makes me hungry: "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
kirottu Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 I think Llynanor should try to choose from those the one he This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
Nick_i_am Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Well duh, ranting to you guys and gaining internet respect is way more worthwhile than actually playing the games. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
