I'm not against modding, and actually think that every game (including mmos) should have that option. But if a gameneedsmods to be fun then I personally consider it to be a failure.
None of the ES games need mods to be fun.

That's good to know, but it would be hard to discern that from recent posts.

For me, Oblivion is mildly interesting. I play it every now and then and push the storyline a bit farther. Kind of bland at times though.

Not much of a single player RPG fan, but I actually like Gothic (the first one) a bit more than Oblivion. Gothic's graphics suck but it is somewhat harsher in tone and unpredictable. Then again, I haven't progressed beyond the midgame in either of those so maybe things change.

Gothic was such a good fucking RPG it's definitely a top 10 of all time. Top 5 if counting PC only. Gothic 2 was good as well, Gothic 3 less so Gothic 4 can blow me.

The best way to play skyrim:

"Dental appointment next, bitch!" LOL
"Rip their hearts out... don't eat their hearts!"

Elder scrolls games are hard for me to go back to after playing Dark Souls / Demon Souls. (I didn't play those until AFTER Skyrim.)

The combat in elder scrolls games is just too simple when compared. The only thing better in Elder Scrolls games is magic and archery.

Then you look at ESO and magic and archery are garbage, while melee is the same as a normal Elder Scrolls game. Which isn't as good as Dark Souls.

Oh and maybe the quests, immersion and replay value. Also, you should try GW2 or Tera for action combat or maybe wait for Wildstar.

The runner up to best MMO was Defiance. So yeah, you can throw that article out the window.
What would you give the best MMO award to? All of the options are terrible. I would probably give it to ARR as well even though it's awful, it's the best of a very bad bunch. I found Neverwinter to be basically unplayable, it was just an atrocious game.

Shawn: Closing Warhammer Online. I mean, the game was kinda fun at first, but can we stop with that exact formula now? Thanks. (I'm already putting my vote in for 2015's Biggest Trend to be "the end of voxel-based online games.")

i like this.
