1: Morrowind. This game is bloody brilliant in just about every aspect. It was totally unbalanced in such a delightful way, and the main questline was deep, interesting, and had by far the best villain. The setting was by far the most diverse and unique of the lot, and the music was phenomenal.

2: Skyrim. Where Morrowind takes the cake as an RPG, there's no question Skyrim wins as an action game. The combat is thrilling and fast-paced, not as tedious and repetitive as in previous games. Beyond that, the music, graphics, and voice acting allow for considerable immersion, though I found the main questline and the factions for the most part both boring and unfulfilling. The Nords are totally insufferable. The game felt too polished and casualized, but I still enjoyed it a lot.

3: Daggerfall. Say what you will of its graphics and combat, but I was as immersed into this game as into Skyrim. It was overwhelmingly large, and featured truly enormous, laberynthine dungeons. The main questline quite nearly tops Morrowind's.

4: Oblivion. While some parts were really excellent, and it kept some of the charm of the older games, the main quest was as bad as Skyrim's, if not worse, and the setting was far too generic for my tastes.

5: Arena. I spent hours, but never got past the goblins in the intro.
