![]() The player would also choose two favoured abilities strength, speed, willpower, etc. These skills would receive a twenty point stat boost., plus these skills would develop faster. When playing Oblivion, the player would pick seven ‘major skills’. If you are a mage and you learn magic quickly, you will have to adapt to play as a magic-user. This is fundamentally more immersive in a role-playing sense. The class system in both Oblivion and Morrowind allowed for unique playstyles that a player would have to follow. Skyrim also removed one of my favourite systems from the two prior games, classes. ![]() In Morrowind, spears, axes, long swords and blunt weapons are all separate and had to be developed individually. ![]() A key example of this being the ‘one-handed’ and ‘two-handed’ skill trees in Skyrim. Many skill trees have been merged into one in order to simplify progression. Since the days of Morrowind, Bethesda has removed many skill trees in order to have a wider appeal. It has been argued that over the years, and as the franchise has gone on, the Elder Scrolls has traded depth in gameplay for mainstream appeal. But, nothing that I have seen Bethesda produce recently has filled me with hope. I want the Elder Scrolls VI to blow us all away. They managed to save face with Tamriel Unlimited, but, all the lights are flashing at this point. Don’t even get me started on the Skyrim re-releases. Fallout 76 and ESO were some of the worst received titles, especially for a company of Bethesda’s prestige. Fallout 4 was a diluted, barren wasteland. Over recent years, I think it is fair so to say Bethesda has been somewhat underwhelming.
