I only played Daggerfall many years after it had been released and the
graphics, well they put me off somewhat. Oblivion, not a fan of as the
main story just felt repetitive and too much of the content was
procedurally generated and ended up as go here kill everything and grab
the loot. Skyrim is the one that gave me lots of playtime and I only
stopped after I stupidly installed a bunch of mods. that broke the game
and then realised that it wasn`t just a case of uninstall the mods and
carry on. Will we ever see a VI, probably but I expect that it will be
stuffed with MTX and everything that made Skyrim great will be forgotten
about.
FO:3/NV, I loved both of them and spent many hours playing them even to
completion which is a rarity for me. FO:4, that was one of the few games
I bought on release and boy did I regret it. Compared to FO:NV in
particular the content in general just seemed bland and I even remember
doing a series of quests for a faction before realising that they were
just kill and fetch with no attached story. Even just wandering out into
the wasteland didn`t have though moments when you came across something
interesting to explore. Fallout:76, never played it and never want to.
It`s a case study in how to ruin an IP.
