What the fuck do people see in this series?
>>739020557uncslop
>>739020557escapism, pretty art direction, busywork quests to check off, an open world to explore with low engagement combat and light rpg elements
>>739020557Most of these games are unfinished unplayable slop without years worth of mods so I don't know how they sold that many copies
>>739020557These games were all unbelievably ambitious and decades later nobody has managed to replicate any of them.
>>739020557For me it's the ambience. Few games can match the simple joy of walking around in Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim.
>>739020557dangerfall is probably a good dungeon crawler by virtue of it's sheer size and cart/travel systems
>>739020557Breadth of content. That's what Bethesda games do well, and pretty much all they do well. If you want a big RPG with a lot of stuff in it you play them. In terms of quality of individual elements, they aren't that great.
>>739020557>DaggerfallImmense amount of content for a dungeon crawler>MorrowindShitty game but absolutely fantastic world building>OblivionUnparalleled whimsy and magic in the characters>SkyrimCompletely serviceable hack and slash crawling instead of RPG dungeon crawling>ESOOne of the only active combat MMOs that actually stayed alive and continued to get content
>>739020645Pretty much. Jeremy Soule's music is also peak.>just spent the last few hours playing Morrowind
>>739020557No other games like them. Elder Scrolls is comfy fantasy rpg that allows absolute freedom. All the lousy imitators are sorely lacking in world interactivity and lore.Only counting Oblivion and Skyrim btw. Daggerfall and Morrowind are okay, but they were merely the stepping stones on the path to perfection.
>>739022594>Completely serviceable hack and slash crawlingNot even that, you plonk your weapon against a mindless NPC until it stops moving and do it a few hundred more times until you run out of reasons to do so.
>>739023351Yes, that's what hack n slash is.
>>739023214>Look at me being contrarian on 4chan! I'm so unique!
>>739023351Yeah, what exactly do you think hack and slash means?
>>739023453A lot of people like Oblivion or Skyrim only. Even on 4chan.
