Originally posted by One_Angry_ScotI just brought that up due to it being the most recent and being more highly regarded than Oblivion. I did try another elder scrolls years ago. It could have been Elderscrolls but it was so many years ago I can't remember. I can tell these games are probably good in their own right but Dragon Age until further notice is the best for me.
I didn't even mention Skyrim. As I don't find it good as an Elder Scrolls game compared to others. It just seems that you haven't tried them all and you're bashing the whole series based off of Oblivion.There is plenty of RPG's that have a ton of story compared to Dragon Age.
Planetscape Torment is just one I could name among many. It just strikes me as silly how you're stacking all the cards in your favour by picking one game then basing the entirety of it's story on that. When in fact it's the game of that series that isn't as good. So you can set your opinion in the positive before you've even started.
From what I have heard dark souls story is ok but the real payoff comes from the difficult boss battles which doesn't interest me in the slightest.

Fair enough,
There is a lot. You have Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Shadowplay, Redguard, Oblivion and Skyrim. So there is quite a few.
I looked into Dark Souls as well but your reasoning chimes with mine. I can do a game with really hard boss battles but a game that directly sets out to do that isn't my thing.
Your sig is the main villain of Dragon Age right?

I want to give Witcher 2 another shot because I feel like it'll be another game I can get into.

Last time I tried playing that was on a previous PC. And when I started it up my PC was up to 90+ celsius.
Haven't tried it on my new one yet.
It does look very nice though.

Oblivion:
93.85% (X360)
92.98% (PS3)
93.29% (PC)
Dragon Age: Inquisition:
(PS4) 89.52%
(PC) 86.77%
(XONE) 86.11%
The data doesn't appear to support your assertion.
Oh and just for fun, here's Dark Souls 2:
(X360) 88.95%
(PS3) 89.68%
(PC) 88.30%
Also better average scores than DA: Inquisition.
Anyway, you're comparing one of if not the weakest Elder Scrolls to what is generally considered the best Dragon Age (and make no mistake, Oblivion is more acclaimed than the other two DA games as well). You often deride people for arguing against characters they've never seen a movie about. Why would you then argue against a series you've barely played, and another you never played?
Speaking on my official capacity as someone who has actually played all three series (including Demon's Souls, so I'm about as OG in the Souls series as someone can get without being a weirdo that played King's Field), here are the official rankings:
Skyrim = Morrowind = Dark Souls = Demon's Souls >= Dark Souls 2 => Dragon Age: Origins > The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion > Dragon Age 2.
I'm a little hesitant to place Inquisition since I haven't beaten it yet, though I think it will probably rank above Origins when all is said and done.

I never argued about Demon's souls I just said I don't go for games which make it purposely hard and don't place as much emphasis on the story. Try to first grasp what my point was before jumping all over my superior cock.
I did just inquire on the Skyward sword game at GameStop and found they were selling it for 45$ used. **** that. I ended up going to best buy and found a new copy of Skyrim for 20$. So looks like I am attempting this series one more time.

I would place Morrowind above Skyrim, but then again I'm biased srug
So my gaming experiences with the following series are such,
Elder Scrolls I've played Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim.
Dragon Age I've played Inquisition only
I've never played any of the Darksouls games.
So based off of that limited sample size here are my opinions on the various series.
The most technically advanced and polished game on the list is Skyrim imo. From scope to combat to quests missions to world building it is an extremely well built game from a programming perspective. Although I do think DA:I is pretty well made as well, although it can be a bit buggy.
Of the Elder Scrolls games though by far the one I've had the most fun playing is Morrowind. Some of the may come from nostalgia goggles though. Still I have a lot of fun memories and stories from that game.
Oblivion is by far my least favorite of the games.
Now that being said Dragon Age Inquistion is the most fun I've had playing a game like TES since well Morrowind. Honestly there are plenty of aspects DA:I I enjoyed so much more than any TES game I've played. So from a sheer fun factor I would give DA:I the nod.
Of course this is supposed to be series vs series so I can't say if TES has an overall better quality of game compared to DS or DA so my ability to comment any further than the above statements are limited so all I can is this.
DA:I >= Morrowind > Skyrim for myself.
Just started Skyrim and played it. This is going to be tough because the graphics are kind of shitty and this far this story of this dragon interrupting your execution is kind of boring to me. I am going to try to grin and bear it. If I suffer through this game Nemebro better answer the call with Dragon Age Inquisition vs. Skyrim. Armies versus armies.

There is a specific reason as to why it was interrupted which you find out later.

Skyrim's plot sucks. If you're playing the game for story you're going to be very disappointed.
Originally posted by quanchi112
Yeah, I am sure the plot will make sense by the end but so far I am severely disappointed. The graphics are terrible imo.
It is quite old don't forget. Plus for me I am used to PC and it's generally much better even without mods so I don't notice it.
But like ares said storywise it';s a bit off but I found it decent.
Originally posted by One_Angry_ScotIt is all subjective so I hope I don't end up agreeing with him but rather more towards you. I know early on the mechanics, graphics, early story on isn't something I would gravitate towards but I bet I'll enjoy it if I make it all the way through on some level.
It isn't.
