They actually did do Morrowind on multiple discs? Wow, I had totally convinced myself that it was only an advertising trick to show prospective buyers that the expansions were in.


As I've said, I've already got all the TES games I want to play but dangit, that case is so shiny and I haven't tossed enough fireballs at walls to level my willpower and resist. I'll just wait for my birthday. I usually get a discount coupon then from a bunch of online stores.


And yeah, Battlespire and Redguard weren't included because they weren't 'numbered' games but let's be honest, that's just pr-speak for 'we didn't want to'. I never played Redguard, but Battlespire is a proto-morrowind engine-wise and build up like a horrifyingly clunky first person shooter. With all the lack of shops and safe resting opportunities that implies. It did have more Daedra than even Oblivion though. I can kinda see Bethesda deciding to not include them. Apart from being a different beast, they're pretty obscure as well.

My two septims on KOTN is to start without it so the Anvil chapel is pristine and fully functional until you are (if ever) ready to commence the KOTN quest. Then simply add it in to the existing game. Buffy's been walking past that prophet and trashed chapel years and may or may not ever do that quest. Once you start a game with KOTN installed, you can't 'undo' it without starting a new game (at least I couldn't figure out, within reason, how to).

I s´pose you uncheck it in the launcher then as it automatically installs with Shivering Isles. Unfortunately I forgot to do that and only realized it many hours down the road *facepalm*

But in the name of collecting, I wants them!


Stargelman, send me your copies, would you kindly?

I actually do have them twice. I think I got them off ebay for some kind of competition that never happened or something.

Can I buy one of each from you!???

I'm just messing with you. Both of these games were pretty crappy, and even I finished neither.

It doesn´t matter. They should be in a complete collection.

Of course I knew you were messing with me

The complete collection also needs the best games in the series.

The Travel games.

Hmm, no "I wouldn't go near it with a ten-foot barge pole" option, so I'll settle for "Nope, don't care".

The fact that it contains Skyrim makes it an automatic no-buy for me. Besides I've got Morrowind and Oblivion, so the only one there that interests me is Daggerfall.

I got it solely in order to complete my collection with Arena and Daggerfall. I don´t give two pine cones about Skyrim. Although it is also part of the collection...

Why all the Skyrim hate?

[Callidus Thorn]

Heh, you really don't want to ask me that. My answer is long, detailed, and venemous enough to melt plastic.

Suffice to say I disagree with many of the decisions made during development.

Why all the Skyrim hate?

I like to call it...The TES Effect.

Each game in the series that comes out will always be called "Streamlined","Casual" or simply "Not as good as the last".

Happened with all of them really,expect maybe Daggerfall.

This. Exactly the same thing happened with Oblivion, and exactly the same thing will happen with TESVI. Because welcome to Fandom.

If you insist I'll post the full list of reasons I hate Skyrim, and walk you through them point by point. I just figured it would be derailing the thread.

Nah, you're ok, my plastic doesn't need melting by venom today, thanks

I don´t hate Skyrim at all, actually. Only the fact it´s been boiled steamed. Not its fault, mind you

I also have a problem with dragons but those can easily be avoided by doing what I always do; ignoring the MQ!
