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.
