Not that I want to stay off-topic but why so? Wasn't it just satisfying to journey around all those pretty swamps, mountains and forests and look at the pretty skies, sometimes engraved with aurorae, in different types of weather, all the while increasing your athletics and acrobatics skills?

I never came close to finishing it, and ended up giving it away just to get it out of the house. I hated being reminded of wasting money on it. [/QUOTE]Well luckily much of that has changed in ES IV: Oblivion. I'm telling you, I think the Bethesda devs are the only ones who take input from their fans seriously.

Fast travel has been reimplemented into the game, horses, and they even have a "quest compass" to find the NPC. Because with this new Radiant AI, it will be nearly impossible to find an NPC on your own.

But by and large I think Daggerfall will still reign triumphant in the ES series. It was so simple yet so elegant, and was a truly non-linear game. It is really a shame that Morrowind didn't turn out that way and I think Oblivion, as far as completing the game, will be a relatively linear process. Daggerfall had such grandeur that cannot be matched IMO.
