Funny Screenshots: Part Deux

[Doctor Phibes]

For me its :

Daggerfall = Civ1
Morrowind = Civ2 TOT
Oblivion = Civ4
Skyrim = Civ3

(luckily no TES have ever been as bad as CIV5)

Gosh, some love for TOT. I thought it wasn't bad too, though I don't think it would amuse me much now. Sadly never played Daggerfall, think it probably wouldn't work for me now either except as a lore-gathering exercise.

I suspect you're right overall, while I hear some discontented murmuring about Skyrim, haven't seen anyone give it the amount of stick that Civ5 gets. A lot of people seem to happily play both Oblivion and Skyrim (well and Morrowind too) for the different playstyles.

I play a lot of Civ 3 too, which is why I compared it rather than Civ 5 to Oblivion, which most Elder Scrolls fans still consider a good game even if not their favorite.

I played an awful lot of Civ3 way back and have sometimes happily come back to it. I think your analogy sounds pretty valid. Oblivion has a lot of diehard fans and I can see why. But then a lot of them (like me) have the game modded up to the hilt or build mods themselves. One reported issue is that Skyrim lacks the moddability of Oblivion, tho I don't know if this will continue to be so.

ToT was the ultimate version of Civ2. Played a ton of that, on Deity, with the largest map settings possible. I'm still not sure if I have more fun with Civ4 than I did with ToT.

I used to play ToT (number censored because of the insane amount) of hours MP'ing with a friend.
It was one of the first games I modded extensively (I added subsurface map for subs and skies for planes, as well as UU for civs).

Daggerfall was an amazing game for its time. It had imho the best character creation of all TES games (I really dont like Skyrims), and the map was bigger than all later TES games together, with tons of cities. Morrowind oozed of atmosphere. You got wet feet in the swamps and a dry throat in the deserts. Oblivion had varied terrain (fields, swamp, forests, rivers, snow, hills, mountains etc etc) and all that "standard" fantasy elements (castles, knights, hamlets, shining armors etc), but one thing I really enjoyed about Oblivion was the sidequests. They had so much imagination and creativity (and humor). The downside of Oblivion was the Oblivion Planes though. They were too generic. And it lacked dragons, which was the best thing in Skyrim.

 

[UnforcedError]

Yes, I hated Oblivion because of the Oblivion Planes. The first encounter was exciting, the second meh and the third boring as hell and after the fourth I quit the game. Never felt the same about Skyrim.

Can we have a few screenshots to split up the game equivalence discussions? I'd do so but haven't had any funny ones show up lately.

Didn't you realize this was the "Discussion About Skyrim-Related Civ Screenshots" Thread?

In response to the crabs:
Obviously a Spycrab.

No problem. From the FAQ:


How do I post a screenshot/upload a saved game?
There are lots of different places to upload your files, but the two here at CFC are the upload system and the attachment system. Another popular free service for images only is ImageShack. Just follow these steps to insert a screenshot or saved game into your post:
Go to either the upload system, ImageShack, or click the "Manage Attachments" on the Post Reply page (you cannot see the button on the Quick Reply).
Click Browse and navigate through your folders to find your saved game/screenshot.
Press Upload.
Now you have to find the URL of your file (if you used the attachment system, you don't have to worry about this; it will be automatically attached to your post). For the upload system and ImageShack, just copy the URL of your picture/saved game to the clipboard (Control + C) - keep in mind for ImageShack, there are a variety of options, including thumbnails. The non-thumbnail version is the last URL.
In your post (if you are using the upload system or ImageShack), just type

for an image, and Your File Name (which will output something like My File). If you are using the attachment system, your file, screenshot or save, will be listed at the end of the post automatically.
What is the difference between the attachment system and the upload system?
There is not much of a difference. The upload system allows you 30 MBs of space, and the attachment system 20 MBs. One difference is that the upload system allows you a maximum upload size of 10 MBs per file, so if you have a sizeable upload, that's the way to go. Otherwise, both are pretty similar.

What is the gallery and file database?
The Gallery is just a collection of user-uploaded screenshots from Civ4, Civ3, and Civ2. Anyone can take a screenshot from one of their games and upload it there, whether it is important or not. The File Database houses many mods, scenarios, maps, and any other downloadable content for Civ4, Civ3, Civ 2, and Civ1. You can search by category, much like on the forums, but it is much easier to just select and mod and click the Download link. If you create any sort of downloadable add-on for one of the Civ games, you can add it to the file database
