Wait... why even use numbers? I want to play The Elder Scrolls Five and Battlefield Three!

Numbers simplify it while roman numerals make it longer and more complicated again.

IS it a sequel or some acronym?

You know, Roman numerals is a good of a *counting* system though not as good as the decimal system and arabic numbers(they both require a fair bit of memorization). It's just when it comes to doing math with them that it is complicated and sucks. It's really not that bit when used for sequels.
