Skyrim still provides a decent amount of complexity for things like character stats, which is enough to know if that's something someone wants out of their RPG games. Of course, Oblivion and Morrowind provide a much more in-depth experience, which would be better suited for long-time RPG fans. Skyrim's RPG mechanics cut away some of the extra fluff that existed in earlier games to try and streamline the RPG aspects of the game. This brings up another point regarding Skyrim's simplicity. RELATED: Neverwinter Releases Trailer for Sharandar Expansion One of the biggest changes comes with hitting enemies, as Skyrim goes off whether the player actually hit an enemy with their attack, rather than using Morrowind's dice-based chance to hit system.
In short, Skyrim's combat and spell mechanics are much more straight-forward than they were in previous titles, especially Morrowind. Skyrim's simplistic gameplay is another reason why it works as a great starting point, though many also cite it as a reason why the other games in the series are better. Skyrim's use of the Elder Scroll in its main plot helps players to better understand the kind of scale that the Elder Scrolls games go for with their storylines.
Oblivion and Morrowind don't actually feature an Elder Scroll as part of their main quests, though the idea of a great tragedy afflicting a region is still present. This version of the storyline formula used in The Elder Scrolls games is probably the most clear-cut, with a very tangible and understandable threat.

This premise tends to be that a particular region in Tamriel has begun to or will face a great tragedy that corresponds with a prophecy dictated in one of the legendary Elder Scrolls. Skyrim does a great job outlining the Elder Scrolls games' general premise, especially when the DLC is considered as well. Skyrim may not be the best game in the series, but it serves as a great way to introduce new fans to the games' general formula whilst highlighting their main appeals. The fifth Elder Scrolls game was a defining entry for the series, capitalizing on the popularity ganged with Oblivion. However, if there were one Elder Scrolls game that would be the best entry-level game for the series, it'd probably have to be Skyrim.
