Subject: Anyone else feel like Oblivion > Skyrim.

The way the leveling system was set up in Oblivion drove me nuts. Skyrim's was much improved.

Fair play

I'm not sure if I'm on topic here, but I hated Oblivion.

I found it to be too repetitive, bad gameplay, frame-rate issues ( Xbox 360 ).

I like Skyrim better.

La-hoo, Za-her.

Skyrim was better for me. I'm one of the minority who actually liked the simpler menus and leveling. It never got in the way of enjoying the game.

Agreed, can't stand it when people think that loads of confusing and boring crap makes it a good RPG.

Morrowind with 2012 graphics overhaul or Morroblivion > ALL

While I love both, Oblivion felt like it had more places to explore/more overall content. Plus more RPG elements. Skyrim dumbed it down a little too much imo.

Not even close.

IMHO, Morrowind > Skyrim > Oblivion


They are all great games, however

  • 12.11.2012 11:04 AM PDT

I liked the setting in Oblivion better. Diverse overworld is best overworld.

Butt ugly ape” remarked Sergeant Johnson always making fun out of the situation even though he had been hit by a spiker round in the arm. He mustered up the strength to continue and the team moved on. The Arbiter informed him that the next room held The Prophet of Truth and this was the final room before extraction. Jun proposed that he takes a shot from a distance the prophet and they all head back to the ship bay for extraction. The team agreed on this and breached the last door…

Oblivion < Skyrim.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Trees, grass, trees, grass, trees, Oblivion gate.

Then the final battle came after hours of closing gates and the Counts had sent 8 guys to help me.

Morrowind was amazing, Oblivion was garbage.

I thought Oblivion had much better quests than Skyrim. And I liked the diverse landscapes of Cyrodiil; Skyrim is just tundra, mountains, and forest.

But other than those things, I prefer Skyrim over Oblivion.

  • 12.11.2012 11:14 AM PDT

I like the land in Cyrodil. Oblivion had more going on.


But as a whole, Skyrim is much more epic and satisfying.


Main quests never matter to me.


And I LOVE to eliminate Sven in Skyrim. all the time. I hate that guy.

Unsuccessfully trying to bring science and reason to The Flood...

I greatly preferred Oblivion to Skyrim. I sunk everything into Oblivion, doing everything I could find. Skyrim I was more linear doing main tasks and stuff.

This is mainly because Oblivion was my first ever elder scrolls and everything was new, and amazing. It was a freedom I hadn't experienced before. I attribute most of it too that. Skyrim is a brilliant game, I just had a more engrossing experience with oblivion.

There are however some aspects I didn't like in Skyrim which Oblivion did better.

:Colour Pallet: Skyrim went for dark gritty colours, whereas Oblivion was colourful and beautiful; If they had both been made at the same technological level Oblivion would have looked better.

:Dungeon Enemies: I felt that Oblivion had a much greater variety of enemies in the dungeons, which made it interesting to explore every single one. In Skyrim they put lots of effort into making unique designs for each one, but then filled them all with the same Draugr time after time. Got quite repetitive.

:Leveling: Whilst Skyrim undoubtedly had a better system of how to level up, and the perk system that came with that, but what I didnt like was the fact that parts of the map had "hard spots" regardless of your level, making them off limits. I remember getting 1 hit K/O'd by Sabre cats so often early on in the game, just cos I wanted to explore. Oblivion did this better.

Just my opinion.

I like classic rock.

Oblivion had much better questlines for the Dark Brotherhood and the Daedric quests were better. I also liked how Oblivion had a real Medieval feel to it as Skyrim has a more viking feel to it.

But I still like Skyrim in some aspects like the landscape and the different caves. Both are good games though.

There are pros and cons to both, as well as their earlier games. However, I think Skyrim has the weakest narrative of the series. It's about a lot of very "done" material--"chosen one," dragons, etc. Past games were more unique. Aside from bugs and glitches, Skyrim does have Bethesda's best and most polished craftsmanship yet. They are clearly getting better at what they do. I think they're yet to hit gold with their formula though, but they keep experimenting so maybe they will soon.

Call me Rdog, not RdOG or RdOG1507. I made that username when I thought it was cool to use alternating capital and lowercase letters...

...nope.

What is it with people on this forum always saying old games are better than their sequels?

I thought Oblivion had some better quests, but I thought Skyirm did every thing else better.
