    This thread needs a better heroine, or at least saltier popcorn.

    Yup. If you ignore eggz then you wont see almost half of the games threads on TA. Last I checked, TA was still an iPhone gaming forum. There wont really be a point of joining here if you dont see most of the new games here :p

    whats the best elder scrolls game and why? I got daggerfall for free because they said it was the best but I also bought morrowind and oblivion for fun and since it was on sale, in your opinion, which one is king and why?

    It's between Morrowind and Oblivion. Oblivion is basically Morrowind, but polished up with a new layer of paint and a little extra sparkle added... but, it sorta has less content... I was sad they got rid of some of the other creature species. Either game could last over 400 hours if you got addicted anyway so content-wise they're still way ahead of most games.

    I read that daggerfall is the largest of all the elderscrolls games in the terms of landmass, dungeons, etc.. have you played it?

    Btw, daggerfall is free on the elder scrolls website for anyone wanting to check it out, I for one am going to put it on my netbook :)

    Yeah it is, the biggest game world to date, but most of it is randomly generated.

    randomly generated once or each time you play? I don't like the idea of playing for some time, then finding out every time I play the towns I found first, are now randomly somewhere else.

    I'm assuming its randomly generated as you play and creates some sort of database of the world as you explore it.

    as for the last part, with the models and geo not being as detailed, graphics can only sustain a game for so long before you see it's invisible walls and limitations, i'd rather take no limits over pretty stuff to look at.

    I am enjoying oblivion so far, my war mace wielding badass dark elf squashing bugs and highwaymen ( funniest shit ever, some kitty cat asshole runs up to me and demands I pay up so I smash him ).

    Not sure, I never really got into it enough to notice. I guess it creates a database like you said, this is what the map looks like (small image though):

    [​IMG]

    "Each dot on the map represents an entire town, city, or dungeon." - so I guess it'd have to stay the same each time in case you want to revisit a specific place.

    Edit: bigger map! (different area):

    I've been wanting to play Daggerfall. I liked Morrowind and since my computer can't handle Oblivion, it seems a step backwards might be the best way to go. Especially since my CD drive doesn't work so I can't play Morrowind either.

    I played Morrowind a little bit and beat Oblivion a while back.

    Oblivion is easily one of my favorite games of all time.

    I heard Daggerfall is literally impossible to complete the main story because of a bug. And that the cities were randomly generated.

    Haha joking but honestly, if you keep ignoring people than the only posts you'll see are yours.
