Why I'll always say Morrowind is the best TES game

Speaking of Morrowind and other TES games, somebody at Bethesda must have an obsession with oversized androids.

Daggerfall (Numidium), Morrowind (Akulakhan), Oblivion (Mehruhes himself) and even Fallout 3 (LIberty Prime) all prominently feature giant humanoids.

Perhaps chronic gigantomania? The monumentarilous disorder? The jumbopathic syndrome? GRF? Gigantesque resistance failure?

I enjoyed Morrowind immensely having played through it several times.

But wasn’t the combat magic really screwed up? I always thought so. Spells never seemed to scale with your character like melee power did.

You had to buy more powerful spells, or create them yourself.

I have to admit, Liberty Prime is the most awesome of all of them, though.

So with my 360 on the red rings I've been playing Morrowing again. Oblivion is better, because of the VAST improvements. And I'm not talking about technical stuff like graphics, or physics, or the recorded voices. I'm talking fast travelling, stability, streamlined character skills, easier persuation. Yes these improvements come at a price. For example a return to traditional Elder Scrolls level scalling. And a smaller world. Or that there are fewer factions in Cyrodill than in Morrowind. But these are the only real knocks I have against Oblivion and I can live with them. Comparing the two I like the Oblivion better.

They're saying TES 5 will be out by 2010 or 2011 tops. It'll be based in Skyrim, and contrary to popular belief, will not be an MMO (thank the Lord!!!)
Rumours are that like they'd been working on Oblivion even while they were releasing Morrowind Xpacks, they've been working on TES 5 while they were making Fallout 3.
I for one think Skyrim's perfect. I've always been partial to Nords.....can't wait.

Thank god if it wont be a MMO. And Skyrim does sound great...

I dunno about Skyrim, seems kind of...meh. It's not very well developed in the lore, which I suppose is an advantage, given that what we have thus far seems to indicate that it's basically a stereotypical version of Siberia full of crazed vikings.

I'd much rather have a game set in the Summerset Isles.

Summerset Isles is probably more xenophobic than Morrowind (oh how I miss those grumpy Dunmer), so dunno how well that would work.

Skyrim. Well dont know really, would be mostly mountains, forests and fjords would it not? Almost like watching out the window for me then

. But I think a 2011 date is more likely for next TES. If its next year then Bethesda must soonish release some more info on it if we go by previous TES games (wasn't Oblivion announced a year before release if not more? Same with Fallout 3 me thinks).

Actually there is a lot of backstory for every province. You just have to take the time to track down the right books. The first men who settled on Tamriel were Nords after all.
