One of my favorite Shivering Isles easter eggs, is if you complete the Shivering Isles quest line BEFORE going to pray at the Shegorath shrine in Oblivion to get the "Wabbajack", there's a different dialogue where Haskill talks back to you saying "Praying to yourself, my Lord? That's not a good sign. Or perhaps it is. Prince of Madness and all that."

Skyrim felt the best gameplay wise but it lacked the soul and creativity i felt the others had its missing the rpg element and heroes journey the other games had. Skyrim was to rushed and made u to op u barely felt like you earned anything it was just handed to u So to speak. The modern power fantasy rpg doesn't allow depth like the older true rpgs do in my opinion. The ideal game elder scrolls game is if they somehow recaptured the soul of morrowind and oblivion and gave us the depth of choice and characters that say an old bioware offered and developed it into an immersive elder scrolls setting...or maybe have obsidion and bethesda co-op an elder scrolls game there is a reason why fallout new vegas was praised so much...heres hoping for the future and here is a cheer for the amazing modders that do much of that for one of the best fantasy worlds ever created.

Skyrim has some clever writing in it, too. Unfortunately, a lot of Skyrim's writing talent was much less front-and-center than in earlier games. It's there in a lot of smaller ways, like in side quests, subtext, books, and in visual story telling. I think that Oblivion's strategy is... Mixed? It's definitely more memorable, but I think that why they went away from that with Skyrim was because putting all the character front and center means that you are showcasing all of the bad along with the good, and there's a lot of _horrible_ dialogue in Oblivion. I do think they swung too far the other way with Skyrim, though.

I'm not too knowledgeable on Elder Scrolls, so I'm not sure what I'd want to see. Though, feeling pity for so many of these poor souls, insane as they might be, I wonder if there's an equivalent leaning towards kindness? Love long, in-depth videos like this, & I do enjoy the analysis! Thanks for uploading!

This video reminds me how dumb it was for Bethesda to hire only 8 voice actors. 2 of which were Sean Bean and Patrick Stewart. Still the best elder scrolls game though 😂
@Dovah_Slayer2 жыл бұрын
Well if they hired more Voice actors we might not have gotten Wes Johnson as sheogorath (yes he did return in skyrim who did have more VAs but I feel like at that point he was sheogorath that they couldn't NOT have him)

shivering isles is the perfect example how open world games shouldn't be too big a small world with many reactions to the player or sometimes just interactions between npcs is infinetly better than a huge world that feels empty I really loved how gothic 2 went about it with the main story split up in chapters and in each chapter events happened throughout the world.. and not just like "oh no the orcs are coming, save us!" but also a lot like "my wife fell ill, can you get her medicine?" it's like most open world games have npcs in an area to have the player run down a check list of fulfilling their quests and then never have a reason to talk to them again with no consequences on how you resolved a quest either most of the time (other than quest reward)

On one hand, I had forgotten just how hilariously broke the face generator is in Oblivion. Those women in particular make Alice the Goon look like a model. On the other hand, this makes me want to play Oblivion all over again. I wonder if they ever fixed the 'over 100 stealth makes you an invincible god' bug?

@@Dovah_Slayer On one hand a shame, on the other hand I can't remember having more fun then I did as a Shadowblade with illusion skills, stealth-boosting rings and some Dark Brotherhood stuff giving me utter stealth invincibility and tearing through top-end content with relative ease, especially some of the harder mod content.
