Guys, I haven't played the Elder scroll series... Skyrim is fifth game.

I wanna play this series (read your comments about skyrim )

So which Elder Scroll game should I start with???

You should start with Skyrim. The stories aren't really connected, they just take place in the same universe. Infact, Skyrim takes place 200 years after Oblivion. You can read about the earlier stories through wiki anyway. Keep in mind elder scrolls games are incredibly vast. Skyrim alone would easily take 100 hours to complete and even then you wouldn't have seen everything in the game. You can try starting with oblivion too but skyrim is a huge improvement over Oblivion so I see little point in doing that.

As yet 21 votes for BF3 here and its leading not coz people dont like other games, but this game is fast.... Join, Compete, Kill, Die, Save our friends, Unlock weapons, Increase rankings and what not...... TBH for a guy like me who is working from 8 to 7, a game like BF3 makes me feel better....

Actually that is what turned me off about BF3. The whole thing just got boring really quick, more so because everyone around me were on extremely high ranks and it was getting difficult to find noob servers. But yes, BF3 always has the ability to surprise you i.e you never know when the same old map suddenly becomes super fun to play because of some interesting fellow team mates, even better if they are your friends.

Skyrim on the other hand never gets boring. Trust me, I am more than 80 hours in this game and I am yet to be bored. There is just so much to do, at times I just stare at the beautiful sky in the night and try to recognize constellations while other times I just like to sneak up on animals and hunt them. The number of things you can do in this game is overwhelming.
 
Will I like Skyrim I found Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3 to be totally boring? rpg's I've like are Planescape, Diablo, Spellforce, Mass Effect 2 etc.
 
^Probably not. The gameplay mechanics of Skyrim are very similar to Fallout 3. As for the story, it is along the lines of Oblivion and since you found both Oblivion and Fallout 3 boring, there is little chance you would find Skyrim appealing. Skyrim does not have the cinematic feel of ME2.
 
Me - not very keen on RPGs. For me - DIRT 2 & DIRT 3 were good games. Original Crysis was the one which had me hooked on the serious gaming - It was a revolutionary.

If you found the story lacking in Battlefield 3, how sad was the story + game-play of Moder Warfare 3.

I found Oblivion to be totally boring myself. Although the scale was immense, the voice acting was quite contrived and combat was meh. But Skyrim has an element of epicness that I found to be largely missing in Oblivion, enhanced by the much more believable voice acting, intriguing characters, and of course, dragons. Combat and leveling up is much improved too, with the spell system being much more satisfying than Oblivion was.

And in general, the scale is even more immense than in Oblivion. The far-better graphics means a much more beautiful world. And each of the side quests are not anymore boring fetch quests, but each of them has a story to tell.

It all depends on which part of Oblivion you didn't like. If it is the same as me, then there is a large chance you will fall in love with Skyrim. However if you dislike the lore and general setting, then I'm afraid you won't like it too much.

Hope I helped. :)

Refreshing what it might have been, it was boring also. By the middle of the game, it became more of a chore than an enjoyable game.
 
I played almost all those games. Yet, i don't know why i clicked Portal 2 (My subconscious knows me better :P)
