Never played Arena, played a bit of Daggerfall, quite entertaining for its age. Ridiculous map though.
I never played Morrowind when it first came out so my first playthrough of that didn't impress me with gameplay or graphics. Bloody fantastic world though, I never completed the main quest but did a fair bit of other shit.
Oblivion is the one I have fondest memories of, so many quests in this game have character. Might not be the best game ever made technically, but it's one of the most memorable and charming games ever made IMO.
Then there's Skyrim. I've logged over 600 hours on this beast of a game, I'm actually surprised I don't rank it higher compared to other games considering just how much I've played it. But even with all those hours, I dunno, it just feels like something is missing. Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic game and well worth every penny, but I just think, considering how much it was hyped, and what it really could be, it doesn't quite hit the 10/10 mark for me.
I'd give Oblivion the same score as Skyrim, hell, looking at it objectively I think Skyrim is probably the better game all things considered. But for some reason I don't look back at all my hours in Skyrim and value each and every hour. A lot of it just feels like a slog to get to the finish of a questline. A large amount of it is probably not that enjoyable in comparison. Or maybe it's just because Skryim didn't have Sean Bean's voice in it.
I have to go with Oblivion.
My 2 cents
*edit* Oh, and I won't be going near Elder Scrolls online with a 100 ft pole.
