Kasabian Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 TES - V Open ended, rich mythology, 3D interactive world, gripping story, great character customization and building. D3 Left click till your finger drops off. I think I know which I would pick. ~R.I.P. Adam aka "Ild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowtrain Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Both to some degree. Bethesda's work on Fallout 3 made me a lot more interested in seeing what happens with the next TES game. Not that FO3 was great, but the improvement over Oblivion was huge. Perhaps Oblivion was merely some sort of freakish anomaly or terribleness. I loved Diablo 1, was bored with Diablo 2, so who knows with D3. But I am interested. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Purkake Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I look at it like this: Diablo III, whenever it comes out, will be polished to perfection, a delicacy of gameplay that will make most other games hang their heads in shame. If that gameplay isn't up your ally, no harm no foul. TESV is pretty much a wild card, it could be decent, but at the same time it could take years of modding to be decent. It will be interesting to see what Beth will do with it, but I'm not excited for it in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bos_hybrid Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Is neither a valid answer? Truth be told though, I will probably pick up TES V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I'd probably go with D3. D2 captivated me more than Oblivion did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syraxis Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Is TESV even in development? You can safely bet it is. Judging by the recent release of that novel they've been hyping for a bit now, an "official" announcement won't too far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Diablo's world is actually more interesting than Oblivion's to me. "Alright, I've been thinking.

Killian Kalthorne Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 TES5. I never liked the Diablo series.

Hurlshort Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Well, there is a TES MMO in development, so we may not see a TES 5. But I'm guessing we will get at least onemore single player Elder Scrolls game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell Kitty Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I enjoyed D1 & D2 back in the game, but I'm no longer terribly interested in Diablo-style stuff, so it's an easy pick for me. Elder Scrolls. I've enjoyed previous games in the series well enough. Beth improved on their formula with F3 and I'd be interested in in seeing how they continue with 5.

Azure79 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Diablo 3. I've tried the TES games starting from Morrowind and the initial idea was exciting, but I quickly found myself bored and the game seemed to have no point. Never finished Morrowind or Oblivion, but I did enjoy Fallout 3, so its a maybe. Diablo 3 is definitely a must buy. I enjoy the setting and I'm interested into where they're taking the story after the 3 prime evils have supposedly been destroyed (or banished back into Hell). Of course it will eventually turn into a click fest, but I've always greatly enjoyed my few initial playthroughs of D1 and D2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte Carlo Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I love Diablo but I'm never buying an Elder Scrolls game ever again. I'd rather buy a compilation CD of Al Gore speeches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niten_Ryu Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Both games are nearly equally uninteresting but solid bargain bin material. Maybe Elder Scrolls V if they don't use Gamebryo engine anymore and/or have better writing (I won't hold my breath). Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube.

Musopticon? Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Diablo 3 is definitely a must buy. I enjoy the setting and I'm interested into where they're taking the story after the 3 prime evils have supposedly been destroyed (or banished back into Hell). Well, a theory that has been gaining ground for a while now is that the game is all about trying to stop Diablo cultists from resurrecting, via sacrifice apparently, Diablo at least, not sure of Baal or Mephisto , which is fairly apparent from the concept art, featuring said cultists. However, I hope they completely forget the Richard Knaak tie-in books, since the whole proto-Prime Evils thing wasn't all that interesting. And, frankly, I'd prefer more new opponents instead of the old ones like the already featured Skeleton King Leoric . kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 There's also some theory about Tyrael going evil for some reason. TBH, the story isn't exactly important here. I mean, your character had three lines of dialogue in Diablo 2, which were usually something along the lines of "It smells awful in this cave". "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager.

213374U Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 (edited) D3 will probably be a much better experience, gameplay-wise. But last I heard, the game was shipping without a LAN multiplayer option, so that's a big minus for me. TES, on the other hand: I, uh... I... I... first became aware of its effects during the physical act of love. Yes, a uh, a profound sense of fatigue... a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I... I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. I can assure you it has not recurred. Women uh... women sense my power and they seek the life essence. I, uh... I do not avoid women, but I do deny them my essence. So I may end up getting neither.

I mean, your character had three lines of dialogue in Diablo 2, which were usually something along the lines of "It smells awful in this cave". That said, the Diablo 2 game manual story and lore section was massive. And they've already shown that D3 will include dialogue trees and unique motivations for each of the characters. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Oh I agree about the lore, Diablo's universe is surprisingly good with that, but the game manual story? Look, no offense, but if your story is mostly in the game manual it doesn't count. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back!
