Everyone just remembers it fondly because of nostalgia now
But it’s so bad
Finding Patrick Stewart’s bastard son Sean Bean so he can do all the actual work of defeating Mehrunes Dagon
I remember literally putting the controller down and saying “Wow, that was awful”
Even the lauded Dark Brotherhood plot is bad because it’s so heavily telegraphed that you can see it coming and yet, you are powerless to stop it despite the game pretending like your choices matter
Ok this is all true but having Patrick Stewart phone in his lines is still the most memorable ES main plot to me. OK maybe i’ve never finished an ES main story and sure, i want Picard to be my real dad but still
Everyone hyped up the Dark Brotherhood questline so much only for it to turn out dog shit.
Everyone acts like Lucian Lachance is so cool, but he just dies like a chump.
He should have been doing a power play or something instead of the awful plot we got where some mama’s boy kills everyone and there is nothing you can do because everyone in the Dark Brotherhood is incompetent.
Edit: some of the individual quests are good tho I guess, but the overarching story was so blah
I don’t know, I don’t think Oblivion’s is much better.
Oblivion’s story is terrible

Like, the way to do it would have been to have him stick around for a little bit and then die trying to do the thing to stop Mehrunes Dagon
Immediately dropping dead after being like “This is just like the dream I had, I know I’m doomed” is just
Very obvious he was paid by the line
Just like Liams Neessons in Fallout 3

The quest where you go into the painting is pretty nifty, but it’s like 10 minutes and has no real bearing on anything
Which is a shame because, holy shit, painted worlds ala Super Mario 64 could be utilized for so much cool shit
I played Oblivion a lot but I never finished the main quest. I was too busy doing shit with the thieves and dark brotherhood.
Better off really
