Actually, I'm not trolling or trying to start a fanboy war. I just really would like to know what everyone is so excited about. I mean, I never played Oblivion. Is it necessary to have done so to understand why Skyrim's gonna be 'TEH BEST GAME EVAR' according to hundreds of forum posts? I played Fallout 3 / New Vegas, and from what I understand, they're quite similar to Oblivion. And Fallout 3 was awesome, but I don't know if I'd lose my mind about it like everyone seems to be doing with Skyrim. The only news I can find on it is 'HO MAN ONLY X AMOUNT OF TIME BEFORE RELEASE I CAN'T WAIT' so I'm asking the community at large. Why's is Skyrim such a big deal, and why should I buy it?
What's so great about Skyrim?

How old is Oblivion?
For one, I like the series once I discovered it. So, I can't say for sure it's going to be the best game ever. It'll probably be buggy as hell and crash all the time like a pos.
It DOES have some nice graphical updates from it's previous title so I can't say that looks bad.
I actually only found out about it like a month ago so my wait time was next to nothing.
What I would like to know if there's a need to have a pre-order (bonuses) or anything else. [PC]

Oblivion when it was released was one of the best rpg's around, and it has aged pretty well since then. Morrowind before it was even better. So the elder scrolls have a reputation for being huge, immersive sandbox rpgs, of the kind that are not really done by any other company. That and skyrim has been in development for something like 5 years, which is a BIG investment, and implies a lot of love and care went into this game.
Read one of the other million posts of this exact topic that have been popping up on every gaming forum.
Here's a hint: Freedom, depth, immersion, size and moddability.

I'll believe infinite quests when I see it. I was also told that the new SSX game will allow people to drop in and snowboard literally anywhere on the planet and I didn't believe that for a second either. Developers will say anything to get us to buy from them. Bethesda were the ones who sold Fallout: New Vegas as a 'new' game after all and not Fallout 3: Now With More Wayne Newton.Caine Fiala said:
Graphics are nice, and graphics (sadly) sell games. But they don't make games great. Fallout 3's graphics looked like mud being painted across a giant gravel driveway, and the NPCs looked like they came out of 3-D printers. But Fallout 3 was still awesome, on account of the whole story and exploration thing.
Also, maybe this is just me being not a fantasy gamer kinda guy, but so? Dragons, how very original.
My friends keep telling me I should get Skyrim, and I'm really itching to play a good RPG (even if it is fantasy), but I've yet to hear a compelling reason why.
Mass Effect and Fallout 3, and Oblivion apparently. I could name a few fantasy RPGs from Japan that sucked though, I could tell you that.aguywhoknowsaguy said:
Well pardon me for not checking with all you guys to make sure it was okay for me to ask a question other people have as well. I didn't know what the deal was, and I thought I'd ask. Sheesh.Gill Kaiser said:
A lot of people liked Oblivion and other Bethesda RPGs so we're anticipating another good game
Also Dragons

I'm guessing that you've never heard of the Fallout series, specifically Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas.aguywhoknowsaguy said:
