No thanks. I own Oblivion GOTY Deluxe Edition and will just pick Morrowind and Skyrim up for $5 each on Steam. I have no interest in the rest.

Already own them all (except for Skyrim and the earliest titles). I might go back soon and play Morrowind with all the latest goodies and mods. Or perhaps I'll hold out until it's open-source and cooperative play has been implemented. It's funny, I sing Morrowind's praises and bash Oblivion/Skyrim, yet I beat those two games and haven't beat Morrowind. Morrowind feels like a never-ending experience for me. Maybe the game's main quest is just genuinely that much longer? I swear I could beat Oblivion's and Skyrim's main quests before even getting half-way into Morrowind's. That's my tangent for the thread.

I'd rather have a lifetime supply of paint to watch dry.

Aren't Arena and Daggerfall supposed to suck?  Which would make Morrowind the only REALLY good one. XD

Can't those games be picked up individually for about half the price during sales though?

After Skyrim i can't see myself playing Morrowind,Oblivion or any other ES ever again.

They might be superior games(story and gameplay wise) but they are way too dated to be played again.

Adding graphical mods will only make them run like shit and crash constantly since their engine is ancient,unstable and unoptimized.(talking about morrowind and oblivion here)

It would be pointless for me since I already have all of that with exception of Arena and the latest Skyrim DLC.

Daggerfall doesn't suck btw, it's arguably the deepest game in the series along with Morrowind.  Also you can get it for free from Bethesda's own site so check it out if you haven't.  It's also absolutely massive compared to the other games in series.

I've played the Elder Scrolls since Morrowind like crazy. Too many other games to play for me to replay those. I love them but not enough to replay them unless there really aren't any other games I'm interested in.

It's not a great deal. Two of those games are free, and you could pick up Morrowind and Oblivion for $5ish each every few months, so it's really just a question of whether you mind spending $70 for Skyrim and a few maps.

Yup. It's a very bad deal. You're better off buying some of those games separately. This is a collector's item and that's about it. Pretty packaging. :P

Completely untrue. You can adds hundreds of mods (not just graphical) to Morrowind or Oblivion and have a completely stable and smooth experience. Just because you couldn't do it doesn't mean other people can't.

Having played most of Skyrim and Oblivion, I'm not sure I would want to regress to the other games (at least graphically).

Modded Morrowind looks better than unmodded Oblivion. Daggerfall's graphics are quite charming despite their age. If you put graphics aside, you might discover that the older games are often the bigger, more impressive ones.

Daggerfall is massive. I spent like 300+ hrs playing that.

I had read that it was massive (Moreso than any of the other Scrolls games) but only because a lot of content was copy/pasted throughout the game.  Is that true?

From the wiki:

 

the scale of the game is twice the size of Great Britain:[2] around 487,000 square kilometers/ 188,000 sq miles. The game world features over 15,000 towns, cities, villages, and dungeons for the player's character to explore. According to Todd Howard, game director and executive producer for Bethesda, the game's sequel, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, is 0.01% the size of Daggerfall, but most of Daggerfall's terrain was randomly generated. Vvardenfell, the explorable part of Morrowind in the third game has 10 square miles (25.9 square kilometers).[3][4]The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has approximately 16 square miles (41.4 square kilometers) to explore.[5] In Daggerfall, there are 750,000+ non-player characters (NPCs) for the player to interact with, compared to the count of around 1,000 NPCs found in Morrowind and Oblivion. However, the geography and the characters in these later games are much more detailed.

Agreed. Oblivion is just uninspiring to me. So bland. Morrowind is the superior game all throughout.

Well, that explained a lot.  Randomly generated adventures in a massive land sounds kind of interesting.
