Playing: ARMA 2
Waiting for: Darkfall: UW
Played: Ultima Online, Age of Conan, Anarchy Online, Planetside, Dark age of Camelot, EQII, WoW, SWG, FFXI and a lot more
Arena, Daggerfall, Battlespire, Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim.
Skipped Redguard and the phone games.

I played arena and daggerfal around the same time, which resulted in Arena not receiving much attention. After that I played some of the spin-offs but not a lot. And them came morrowind, which I played quite a lot, Oblivion, which was a tragedy, a train wreck, I hated the game and its modding community didn't help much in making it a quality game.
And now Skyrim, which I have been playing quite a lot too. I actually love it, since it is not a "Dungeons and Dragons" ish rpg, it has a unique setting, which is not only good because it shows creativity, but also because I despise the D&D based settings.
Elder Scrolls Online, I don't know... though, it seems that it will at least drink some of my time.
Skyrim has both Dungeons and Dragons, along with all the standard fantasy tropes that come with it. Great game, but the setting is probably the most "traditional" fantasy settings for the IP. Oblivion might take that crown if it weren't for the whole demonic invasion and alien-looking expansion.
I suppose you could say Arena and Daggerfall were both very traditional as well, but they lacked a lot of the atmosphere that skyrim has.

arena - didn't play
daggerfall - played for a while...got pretty repetitive
morrowind - my fave, played it a lot and loved it.
oblivion - looking at the disc right now and wondering why it wasn't better.
skyrim - goddamn i need a new computer. i played and liked, but it glitches out on me. not it's fault, it's mine.

Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.- FARGIN_WAR
Daggerfall for a short time,game was really buggy at release.
Morowind for a short time as I grew tired of the brownish look of the majority of the game,brown,brown,brown.
Oblivion,spent more time here,the game is vibrant and fun!
Skyrim,I've spent numerous hr's in the game and it's just jaw dropping.A classic as far as I'm concerned.The game rock's,especially on pc with all the mod's.

I played them all!
If I were tell a friend to play any of them I would tell them to play Morroblivion. Morrowind was my favorite. Using this Mod you get Morrowind with Oblivion graphics and you can travel between Morrowind and Oblivion with the same character.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim.
Out of these, I player Morrowind and Skyrim the most. Ma favorite is Morrowind, simply because the settings and stories. Oblivion was too blend for my taste. Skyrim isn't too bad, but I'm sad for the lost of spellmaking and hate the crappy UI. I use SkyUI now
.
I didn't start until Morrowind personally. It's still my favorite one.. Still have it installed in fact. Being a thief, a true thief was hard in that game at many points and I loved it.
Oblivion was alright, Skyrim didn't impress me. Read into that what you will. I mean, you're going to anyway, so there's your permission.
Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim (including all expansions).
Loved all of them, but gun to my head would have to say Oblivion the least, Skyrim the most. Morrowind was great but people tend to overlook some it's flaws due to the rosey tint on their glasses.
Ofc, as with them all mods made the games so much better.
Morrowind + Tribunal + Bloodmoon
Oblivion
Skyrim
Fuzzy wuzzy was a bear...
Morrowind onwards including all expansions and content dlc, recently installed the Morrowind Overhaul mod (MGSO), its a couple of gig download well worth it tho
I'm not entirely sure if I've played both Arena and Daggerfall, one at least if not both though.
Of the rest, not sure about Redguard (I swear I have played too many games, brain is all mushy when it comes to remembering exact games LOL), all the others though.
And I've had countless of hours of fun out of all them
Same, started on Xbox with Morrowind, BM, TL, moved to PC for Oblivion and Skyrim.

Redguard was not an RPG, more like an adventure game...

I've played them all and Daggerfall was the one I enjoyed the most. That was true freedom that was.
I'm not a fan of Skyrim, because they dumbed down the spell system and for some reason I just get bored out my mind each time I start it again. I've never finished it, despite trying several times... just got fed up after awhile each time.
Overall though, I can't help but think the recent ES games are wildly overrated. Don't get me wrong, I think they are good and can understand why people love them so much with all the linear games about these days.
I'm a massive RPG fan. I've probably played 95% of all RPG's ever released on PC... but for some reason the ES games (except Daggerfall) just don't do it for me. Obviously they arn't for me.
With the way TESO is looking, I think I'll enjoy it more than the last 3 TES games.
