Oblivion is a fantastic game and i would recommend checking it out! But no, you do not need to have played it to understand Skyrim. Skyrim will be a stand alone story.

The Oblivion crisis will more than likely be referenced in game in some manner (it was in the trailer as one of the triggers for the resurgence of Alduin and the dragons). Doubt it will be more than that though!

Thanx for info...I might play Oblivion first then and get Skyrim when the price drops ^_^

I never played the series...and from the sound of it, i'd be better playing Oblivion first because the stories are linked to some degree. Would i need to go further back to Morrowind or it is more of a stand alone story?

The E3 footage of this game looks pretty amazing ^_^

You don't need to play Morrowind or Oblivion to know whats going on I'd say but they are both well worth a play!!

Did you watch the longer 13 minute version as well?

I've played Oblivion and it was one of the most overrated games I have had the misfortune of playing.

No substance whatsoever.

Then perhaps Elder Scrolls V is not for you.

I was really looking forward to the game but was very disappointed with the game play and storyline. So I guess, yep it wasn't for me. But I only discovered that after forking out €50-€60 quid for it.

I expressed an opinion. How do you see that as trolling? Maybe the only troll on here is you.

Yeah, twice actually

Finbarr, your are perfectly entitled to your opinion of Oblivion. This thread is about Elder Scrolls V however. Coming on to a thread to post an off topic negative opinion is not constructive and could very easily be seen as trolling. Do not continue this behaviour.

Fair enough but if Obilivion IV is anything to go by, well good luck with that.

But it depends on who you ask. For me, if The Elder Scolls IV (not Oblivion IV :P) is anything to go by, Skyrim will be incredible.

Im genuinely worried that this game could consume my life.

Monotype · 24-06-2011 11:58am

Just put an alarm clock next to you to remind you to eat etc.

Be careful not to end up homeless though.
I was playing oblivion all day for a while when it came out, then I suddenly got bored of it and wouldn't even load it up for a short while.

For sure. I am going to put that 300 hour estimate to the test.
