The Elder Scrolls 6 should be more like Oblivion than Skyrim in one major area

While Skyrim is well-loved, The Elder Scrolls 6 could benefit from following Oblivion's lead when it comes to the main story element.

S-Tier: Extensions are required

  • Shivering Isles (oblivion)
  • Dragon born (Skyrim)

Shivering Isles Opens with a room that merges into a swarm of butterflies and only improves from there. Many believe it oblivion Players to be one of the best expansion packs Bethesda has ever produced, and it's easy to see why. Apart from the magnificent location of the islands, the creativity of both the setting, characters, and storyline, and the implications of the story as a whole, Shivering Isles An experience that is not easily forgotten.

Dragon bornThe final extension for SkyrimAnother is an expansion that takes players to the Daedric prince's plane of Oblivion. This time it is the plane of the Daedric Prince of Knowledge, Hermaeus Mora, and partly takes place on the Lovecraftian-esque plane of the Apocrypha. Dragon born Not only does it expand on the lore of the Dragonborn and give the player a chance to ask themselves what it means to be Dragonborn, but it also sees a return. Morrowind: BloodmoonSolstheim's setting for a heady hit of nostalgia, lore, new armor sets, shouts and spells.

A-Tier: Lore and improvements to base games

  • Tribunal (Morroind)
  • Dawnguard (Skyrim)

MorroindThe first expansion pack, TribunalBrings the player character to Morrowind's capital city of Mornhold and draws them into political intrigues that will see the conclusion of Morrowind's tribunal. With such a stake in hand and the amount of knowledge it has expanded, Tribunal required for any Morroind player, but could have done more in terms of scope. It has also improved significantly MorroindA terrific journal system, and worth it for that alone.

Dawnguard Along with this came a much needed overhaul for vampires SkyrimSkill trees for both vampires and werewolves, one of the best bows in SkyrimA quest that takes the player to the most interesting settings The Elder ScrollsAn unexpected cameo brings back, and Serana is, a great follower and characters Skyrim.

The Elder Scrolls 6 can break the mold with a simple change

The Elder Scrolls 6 has the opportunity to revolutionize many of the franchise's longest-running tropes, and one change could change the game.

B-Tier: Unique gameplay and lore

  • Knights of the Nine (oblivion)
  • stove (Skyrim)

like Dawnguard, Knights of the Nine There's more to it than meets the eye, especially in terms of lore. While the lore surrounding Pelinal Whitestreak may seem surreal, as he only appears to be a knight of Saint Alesia and was responsible for the destruction of the Isled Elves, he was actually the mortal incarnation of the Lord Lorkhan. In many ways, Whitestreak and Alesia's relationship and war paralleled the relationship and intrigue of Kvatch and Martin Septim, the protagonist. oblivionEspecially considering the events Shivering Isles.

stove There was a unique addition Skyrim Instead of a questline, it added gameplay purely in the form of homesteading. As a result, stove Let players live their comfortable gaming dreams SkyrimSome were surprisingly viable. Being able to mine clay and stone, cut wood, and build a house from the ground up, including building all the accessories, became incredibly rewarding. Along with the homestay came adoption and, along with many orphans SkyrimThe opportunity to build a home and house a family in it became a priority, as the threat of Alduin and the dragons fell by the wayside.

C-Tier: Additions to gameplay and an iconic artifact

  • blood moon (Morroind)
  • Mehrun's Razor (oblivion)

the events of Bloodmoon TA place on the island of Solstheim several hundred years ago Skyrimwho Dragon bornand deal with the East Empire Trading Company and the founding of Lycanthropy. Being a werewolf is unfortunately not as rewarding as it is here SkyrimAnd this lucky cure is quite easy. Otherwise, the change in setting, additional culture and lore thanks to Skyrim's proximity to Solstheim, and new enemies and combat make this expansion worth playing.

oblivion Its two full expansion packs came with several DLCs. Mehrun's Razor A notable addition is the only one well fleshed out due to the complete dungeons and the reappearance of Maroons Razor, the role of the Daedric prince. Considering that there is no opportunity to fulfill Mehroness Dagon's request oblivionIt is good that there is a chance to get your dagger in another way.

D-Tier: Oblivion's infamous add-ons

  • orrey
  • Amor the horse
  • Spell Tomes
  • Den of thieves
  • Vile Lair
  • A fighter's stronghold
  • Wizard's Tower

Most DLCs in this section are for specific builds, eg Vile Lair For characters of high infamy or who are vampires, and Wizard's Tower, Spell Tomesand orrey For spellcasters. All these items come with oblivionAnd don't add anything really necessary to the game, because there are already many good options in the game.
