Now the question, Daelon, is seeing how different it is, do you find yourself having any trouble enjoying it?
I've always been told, "Go play Oblivion because it's awesome, but be prepared to struggle with the older style mechanics and graphics." I play Knights of the Old Republic about once a year, so I doubt that old graphics and mechanics would bother me. But I'm always hesitant because people make it sound so dated. I remember Morrowind and I don't remember that being so awful so how bad can Oblivion really be?
So far so good, but it's even more confusing than Skyrim. At the moment on in the Shimmering Isles (almost done) and will be glad to get out (although I luv it).
The mechanics are choppy and a little clunky (compared to SR) and the 3rd person is just plain weird, but it's a great play so far. A little more repetative than SR, but, hey, whatja gonna do, it is almost a decade old.
What I do like is that the dialogue options are much more robust, there are so many more voice actors and the characters are very diverse (watch for a gay orc smith!) and there seem to be more weapons and armor options (I even like the appearance matrix - it's a lot more flexible).
I'm not in that far, but I'm certainly obsessed for the time being (back to SR next week!).
Now that I've tried it, I would recommend it, but be warned that some of the SR things you're used to, while the function very similarly (and there's hot keys!), they're a bit more clunky and the graphics are of a slightly lower quality, but it has been worth it.
