Episode notes

This special brings together a roundtable discussion about Oblivion, Skyrim, and The Elder Scrolls Online to decide which entry in the series the participants liked most and what the next one should offer. Oblivion emerges as the favorite for its freedom, exploration, quests, and consequential decisions, as well as its ability to generate memorable stories. The discussion also highlights the possibility of stealing clothing and items from enemies and equipping them, along with interest in a possible remake. Skyrim is praised for its large open world, atmosphere, shouts, and combat improvements. However, the participants criticize the repeated versions, the presence of generic dragons in later stages, and how powerful the player can become, together with some loss of narrative depth. Regarding The Elder Scrolls Online, the program discusses its more generic beginnings and a campaign structure that led players to abandon it, while also reviewing its evolution into a more streamlined and accessible experience for those who enjoy lore and MMOs. Finally, the group imagines a future entry with a strong single-player campaign, Oblivion-level storytelling, modern technology, and integrated optional co-op, as well as new biomes, crafting, character customization, and a story less focused on dragons.
