Five PC Gamer editors with more than 2,500 combined hours playing The Elder Scrolls series share eight strongly held opinions about Skyrim, Morrowind and Oblivion. Their arguments examine how the series has changed as an RPG, the strengths and weaknesses of its quests, and which distinctive features Bethesda should revive or expand in future games.

The views include calls for deeper character specialisation, praise for Skyrim’s main quest, support for Oblivion’s spellmaking system and criticism of Morrowind’s side quests. Other contributors argue that modern Bethesda may struggle to recreate the Dark Brotherhood’s best stories, advocate more systems-driven gameplay, defend interactive environmental clutter, and suggest the franchise deserves a television adaptation.
