[Pieter the mage]

5: Arena = 5.7 (it was hard as hell)
4: Daggerfall = 6.1 (it was weird and very crowded but nice)
3: Skyrim = 9.7 (the gameplay an the story where awesome but the bugs can become annoying
2: Morrowind = 10 (the story was awesome but the gameplay was a bit stiff)
1: Oblivion = 10 (the gameplay and the story was nice but my minor nitpick is the races are not well done)

[hrút dragonborn]

1. Skyrim
2. Oblivion
3. Arena

They are in the order that I most enjoyed the world, the story and the gameplay.

[Sparky]

I have never played Morrowind

4 Daggerfall
3 Arena
2 Skyrim
1 Oblivion

[Skrofler]

1) Morrowind (What can I say? Face meshes were horrible. Everything else was awesome. Only combat has aged but it's still okay.)
2) Oblivion (Scaling monsters, confusing interface, speechcraft was a joke, lack of enchanting and generally fun things to do. Close call with Skyrim.)
3) Skyrim (Scaling monsters, annoying interface, lame quests, counter-intuitive, poor dialogue, dumbed down, lack of attributes and options.)
4) Daggerfall (Never actually played it but I watched a couple of hours "let's play" on Youtube. Can't really compete with this generation games.)
5) Arena (...)

UPDATE:
1)Skyrim
2)Morrowind
3)Oblivion
4)Arena
5)Daggerfall

I love all of the games. They have their advantages and disadvantages. Personally I though combat in Oblivion was fun but Skyrim and Morrowind combat was more worthwhile. Oblivion had amazing faction quests but the combat hurt it a bit for me. Dungeons in Skyrim and Morrowind were great but the other games felt shallow in terms of dungeons. Arena and Daggerfall are pretty much tied.

[FaWa]

1. Oblivion
2. Morrowind
3. Skyrim
4. Daggerfall/Arena

[Skrofler]

What amazes me is how many of you rank Arena above Daggerfall.
I don't want to turn the thread into a discussion really but please just enlighten me, because I can't think of a single thing that Arena did better. Is it the randomness?

[thamoirthegreat]

I chose Arena over daggerfall b/c of daggers bugs.

[Hissien]

1.) Oblivion (it was my first)
2.) Skyrim
3.) Morrowind (didnt get to play it much but if i ever find a pc copy im buying it)
4.) daggerfall (never played)
5.) Arena (never played)

[MattFlan]

Well, I played small parts of Morrowind, and I've put hundreds of hours into Skyrim and Oblivion.

I'd say Oblivion, then Skyrim, and then Morrowind. Oblivion by a looong way

[odinlima]

Since i didnt play daggerfall or arena i cant judge them

for main quest , it goes like this:
1- Oblivion
2- Skyrim
3- Morrowind
For side quests:
1- Oblivion
2- Morrowind
3- Skyrim
for atmosphere:
1- Oblivion
2- Skyrim
3- Morrowind
for combat mechanics :
1- Skyrim (wins by very little over oblivion)
2- Oblivion
3- Morrowind ( combat was so awful )

I believe Morrowind is one of the most overrated games of all time , while Oblivion is hugely underrated ,it feels like the runt of the litter who fought his way to the top , while Skyrim is very good and very enjoyable , but not as great as oblivion .. skyrims the little brother everybody gets along with , morrowind is the wise old brother everybody whos word everyone follows to the letter and respects , Oblivion is the middle child , and no one ever seems to like the middle child (bit of a contradiction with the runt of the litter part , hehe)

Steal my words, your filthy Grey Fox......lol...

[Kerr]

1) Morrowind
2) Skyrim
3) Oblivion
4) Daggerfall
5) Arena

[Vahrukiv]

1. Skyrim
2. Morrowind
3. Oblivion
4. Daggerfall
5. Arena

[TheRedPriestess]

Just my personal taste but I'd probably rank them...

1.) Skyrim
2.) Morrowind
3.) Oblivion
4.) Daggerfall
5.) Arena

[Br3admax]

It's not just your personal taste, look up. Although I might rank them similarly. I still like Morrowind the best. Skyrim has better graphics and gameplay, but it gets old fast. Then again, I'm ten years older now, maybe that's it.

[TheRedPriestess]

Oh I know, I figure it's (more or less with some variation) a common ranking order and besides all of these are just personal taste ultimately so it goes without saying. Morrowind and Skyrim are pretty close for me.

[Br3admax]

I know, I just like messing with people.

Anyway, Arena and Daggerall were not bad games. The only bad thing they had was level 32 enemies in the starter dungeon. Even at level 1

[Disagreer]

1. Morrowind (Amazing.)
2. Daggerfall (It's a mess, but it's great.)
3. Oblivion (Pretty and entertaining.)
4. Arena (Old fashion. Good but gets tedious.)
5. Skyrim (I haven't played it, therefore it's the worst. Annoying, ain't it?)

[snapple]

Skyrim
Morrowind (though, it has aged quite horribly since the realease of Skyrim)
Oblivion (more of a 2.5)
Daggerfall
Arena

[Morinehtar]

1. Morrowind
2. Skyrim
3. Oblivion
4. Daggerfall
5. Arena

I think Morrowind is the best because of its variety: guilds, transportation, weapons, etc.

[Master of Puppets]

1. Skyrim
- The main quest is pretty generic, but the gameplay is the best so far in terms of combat, and the guild quests are pretty good (Esp. the Dark Brotherhood). I also like the fact that we have a quest line where we get to choose our side.
2. Morrowind
- The main quest is the best, but I can't get past the annoying combat mechanics. I also love the atmosphere of it. It's so weirdly alien and it actually feels like a different world. Oblivion just felt like I went back in time and threw magic and demons in.
3. Oblivion
- The main quest was horrible, and the guild quests were OK at best. However, I have a very special place in my heart for Oblivion because it was my first TES game.
4. Arena
- To be honest, I haven't played Arena much. The controls bother me too much.
5. Daggerfall
- I haven't played Daggerfall beyond the first dungeon. I get killed by those bat-things every time.
