Oblivon has many many secrets to discover unlike Skyrim i found it is easier to get lost in Cyrodiil and unlike skyrim there are places with groups of people that are never mentioned ever numerous secrets such as a group of savage argonians living in a cave whose location I cant remeber, The great number of Ayleid Ruins scattered about and who could forget about about the GIANT slaughterfish hahaha its up to you to accidentally come across it dont spoil it for yourself by searching its location on the internet.

I most enjoy the dramatic close-ups whenever dialog is engaged in. And getting pursued across half the map by an enraged unicorn (after innocently happening upon it's secret grove), which I attempted to engage in hand to hand combat, to no avail.

In real life or in Oblivion? :)

In any case, I'm still in the Shivering Isles (why I did it first I have no idea, but I got a couple of cool swords). In many ways I prefer the weapons/armor dynamics in Skyrim. You just really have no control at all over it in Oblivion.

Oblivion > skyrim
Oblivion greater than Skyrim? In what way? Scope? I'm not in it very far so I couldn't make that judgment, but I kind of prefer that it's much easier to customize and RP in Skyrim than it is in Oblivion and, of course, the mechanics and graphics are just so much better in SR.

I'm waiting to see if Skyblivion ever gets completed. Or Skywind. Then I would get the mechanics/graphics of Skyrim with the content/story of the other games.

Honestly the main thing that made Oblivion better for me was the fact it was my first Elder Scrolls game though this was before I got into RP and all that jazz.

Oblivion had better characters that arent constantly being brought up. The Grey Prince,(Master) Lucian LaChance, The Grey Fox, Umbra, Falcar, Jauffre, Mervyn Obern, Glarthir, etc.

Specifically most of the guild people in general were better fleshed out.

Overall Skyrim is Better but Oblivion has points where it stands as King, even the DLC gave your character a greater accomplishment hell you become a Daedric Lord at the end of the Shivering Isles in Skyrim the most you can achieve would be having power over the Sun itself which when you think about it is probably just as if not more impressive then what the Daedric Lords can do but still and I generally like Cyrodiil more I find the country side is more beautiful then what I see in Skyrim. Unlike many I don't find much interest in the class system as I like evolving my character as I play and mold them instead of choosing what they will be from the get go, Even many of Oblivons characters were more interesting...Count Janus Hassildor (The Dracula Easter egg) trumps all the Jarls of Skyrim

I'd personally recommend Oblivion to anyone.

I played it since release and it's the game that really made me a TES fan. Very fun storylines in it, especially with the DLC however I feel that Skyrim has a lot more to offer in terms of the main storyline, and magic is a lot more polished in Skyrim too.

Unfortunately, that would mean I would need to obtain a copy of Morrowind. My copy was tossed out in the "Great Video Game Purge of 2009". Perhaps Steam will have it on sale again soon - since I refuse to pay full price for it.

Oblivion is good. Get away from all that dreadful snow. The Nords in Oblivion are kind of stupid though, so be warned about that.

The Nords in general are pretty stupid.... "Skyrim is for the Nords!".... uhhh.. no it isn't according to history. Skyrim rightfully belong to the elves, particularly the Dwemer/Snow elves. I'm just waiting for them to return just so that they can tell the Nords to get the fudge out of their country.

Good luck with that. :p
