What if, bam, Uncharted would go open world? That'd be so exciting.
I doubt they have the courage though. A long sea voyage sounds at least a bit refreshing. |
And become as bad in storytelling as Oblivion and Skyrim were? My god that would be a nightmare come tru for me...

Yes, but so much stronger in all the other aspects of what makes up a good game...
But about story telling, I don't understand how Elder Scrolls story telling is considered weak by so many. In my head the story of Oblivion (and Skyrim too) is very alive. It was very clear, important and real to me.
I would even argue that since games like Elder Scrolls immerse you so much deeper and integrate the player so much stronger into their worlds, the story actually becomes more alive and meaningful than in cinematic Hollywood-games like Uncharted.
To me, Nathan Drake's adventures are just like a random Hollywood adventure movie that grips me for a few hours, or a few days at best, while the worlds and stories of Elder Scrolls are alive in my mind for years.

I am with you about the elder scrolls. The elder scrolls is one of the best series at story telling. The way the series created a big world and a ton of lore for it all count is incredible. We have a lot of races and a lot of stories inside it. Maybe the main storyline isn't that mindblowing but the exceptional world and background the people at bethesda created is very praise worthy.
As for uncharted... I don't think they are random Hollywood movies, I mean the story may be very cliched and generic but it's the characters, gameplay and set pieces that make it a stellar gamec. The story is not so great but for the way it's presented is stunning :)

I'm glad you appreciate the story telling of Elder Scrolls!
With Uncharted I didn't mean literally a "random" Hollywood movie. I meant more like Hollywood box-office blockblusters, like the Marvel movies or Pirates of The Caribbean. Everything in the story works and it's entertaining but there's nothing deep or original and it's not particularly memorable.
