I hate Elder Scrolls (I know I am not Domo) because of Arena. Oh, the riddles. The never ending dungeons. The mazelike cities with a 20% chance of getting a good answer from somebody. The useless world outside of the city. Those Snow Wolves, oh that howling. Selling one item at a time to get 1 gold for each dagger. Enemies attacking you at night, which is what it always is in a new city, while you are forced to wander around aimlessly to find an inn in the mazelike city. The fact that I am absolutely pathetic at that game.

I hate Elder Scrolls because of Daggerfall. Take Arena's dungeons and make them even bigger. Then make the game so difficult that it is hard to hit anything. Make all of this into the tutorial dungeon designed to beat the previous games' ridiculously difficult tutorial dungeon. I can't like anything about future Elder Scrolls games because of the important lore here about the Dragon Fall making future lore hard to get into.

One thing I can say about System Shock is that it makes both of these games look pathetic while coming out around the time of the first one. More memorable, deeper lore while being more approachable. I can say I might even desire to retry System Shock and get past its frustrating points. I can't say the same for Elder Scrolls.
