A question for you gamers

Fallout 3 is £10 on Steam at the moment. I can get Morrowind and Oblivion as part of the pack for £20 total. Is it worth it?

Edit: Bought the pack!

If you don't have these titles and if they're the GOTY versions with all the expansion packs then: ABSOLUTELY.

I've had Morrowind for ages and it still stacks up well as a Massive single player RPG, against more modern titles. I picked up Oblivion a couple of years ago on a deal and recently re-installed it. Another, monumental single player RPG. I picked up Fallout 3 in the last week and I am just about to take my first steps into Capital City.

Bugger. I have to reinstall Morrowind now :)

You can probably pickup morrowind and oblivion for a lot less than £20. Albeit not tied to your steam account, but that may not be a big issue.

[andrewducker]

Sorry, it was £20 total. And now I've bought it!

[recycled-sales.livejournal.com]

Ah at that price it's definitely a good deal.

Skyrim is £20 today. Unless you decide that you're an Elder Scrolls completist or your PC isn't up to Skyrim, I'd rather spend £20 on that than on Oblivion and Morrowind. Morrowind is ancient too - I seem to remember getting it thrown in with a graphics card about three PCs ago. Oblivion was ok but not a patch on Skyrim from what I've seen of Skyrim so far.

I was actually disappointed with Fallout 3. I thought I'd love it, and I persevered with it for quite some time. If I was looking for something to spend a tenner on today on Steam, I'd recommmend Deus Ex: Human Revolution if you don't already have it.

Magicka is also pretty good co-op fun for £2.

We have Magicka, and thoroughly enjoyed it as Co-Op. Very good fun, and I trained my fingers into all sorts of ridiculous combinations!

[fearmeforiampink]

I found Magicka rather too hard, albeit as single player, and I think also the rapid combinations thing is something I'm less good at. But it does make me wish it had a difficulty scale.

I second the DE:HR comment.

Skyrim's USD40 at the moment, which is still too steep for me..

[andrewducker]

Yup, I'll happily play other things until Skyrim hits "dirt cheap". There's no rush, and I have a ton of other games already.

[skreidle.livejournal.com]

Same here. I did pick up Borderlands+DLCs the other day, and haven't even fired up Steam since. Did play some WoW, though, and I pay $15/mo for that privilege. :)

Morrowind and Oblivion are excellent, but spending half an hour looking for and downloading a good set of mods (especially a decent texture pack for Morrowind and Unique Environments for Oblivion; I'm having a good time with the 'living' bonus-NPC-dialog packs for Morrowind too) will make them a lot better.
