Oblivion is the trashiest TES game
Like everyone knows, Oblivion is the crappiest, worst and most boring game game in the elder scrolls series.

It failed to be better then Morrowind even in terms of graphics.

It failed to be better then Skyrim in terms of what you can do in the game.

It even failed to be better then TES online in terms of

Even thoug morrowind was released way before oblivion, the game oblivion was just more distatseful. It sported uglier looking faces that looked like they were already smached in before combat started. Some think that was cute about the graphic, and i dare say, i spit on you. Oblivion had so ugly looking faces and graphics in general that you had to pull through several sessions of walking through places and stop yourself from puking due to corners lagging, shadows with raspy corners and water looking unrealistic and distasteful.

The combat in oblivion just makes me puke. It's basically two guys standing in front of eachother and waving their arms and it looks so f-ing bad. The graphic has NO hunching from attack, NO reaction when you hit them at all and NO realistic sense whatsoever. Its all just people walking around and waving their arms making games like swordsand sandals look like a masterpiece compared to this piece of trash oblivion.

The game is just bad in general. There are no fun places to go to, everything in the game just looks so dull and boring. It isn't made to be in a dull and dark setting, yet i mean it looks dull in the sense that it's boring to look like. Lots of the same trees everywhere. Midgets that you want to put a knife in them cause they looks so ugly. Animals that make the game look like it's made from the computer stoneage and also people that are just so f-ing basic and boring to talk to. In general, i think even the older bethesda games did a better job than this piece of trash game oblivion. The sad thing is also that the oblivion players think their game is better because it's more "fun" in the sense of walki around and looking at stupid stuf and people that just blurt out one liners. These people are just plain braindead.

I say this game gets a 2/10.

IKR oblivion sucks so much BALLS. I would much rather play Knack 2 or Super mario bros 2 (game of the year).

Silence, blasphemer! Faces in Oblivion are beauty incarnate, the definition of perfection, and unquestionably the greatest gift that Godd Howard has gifted us mortals.

It seems like you are actually in love with the game. When I pproduce my lines of inpecable truth into your trash game, you dont do anything then cry.

only pointed out where I stopped taking this thread seriously since you are actually comparing a Game from 2006 with one from 2011 in terms of what is possible to do ingame...
Another non-argument from you. The game sucks and why dont u tell us then what exactly there is to do besides walking around in a boring forest.

So u want to look at the ugly creatures from oblivion and talk about how you love everything in that game then. I dare say, i spit on you.

-Graphics are miles better than morrowind
-It came before skyrim so oblivion wasn't aiming above skyrim
-Teso is an mmorpg this is just an rpg
Honestly oblivion sucks in the perspective of combat but otherwise it is an interesting game, also i love the glitches.

"Got hurt by Oblivion in 2006, wanna hate fu-k it 2018."
If you're going to say how it's the worst game and include ESO in your proof, you also have to include Arena, Daggerfall, Battlespire, and Legends. Those are the rules.
I forgot to mention how you only focused on visuals. Skyrim and ESO were made post-2010 so of course they look better. The combat actually works well, and it's very accurate considering real life swordfights were mainly poking each other. It's very well balanced for what stage you're in, since early-game will require planning and late-game you're already so OP you can make a 100-pt fireball that kills everything without screwing up balance. There's also things like the dry humor (looking at you Imperial voice), the plots, the great quests, and how immersive the game is in the series. Unlike something like Skyrim where you feel isolated from other provinces and ESO which just feels out-of-place, Oblivion feels like part of a working world, and so it deserves the respect it has earned. The only true point you have is how bland nature looks, which is right. Oblivion's dungeons and outdoors were made through generators then incorporated fully.

Well ofc it's going to be better graphics than those, yet i only compared Oblivion and said it was worse then morrowind graphics wise, and no, it's not just about "how it looks."

The combat doesn't work well at all. Two enemies fighting that looks like two girls slapping arms up and down at eachother isn't like realistic swordfighting.

Never said anything good about skyrim. Also, since a lot of my text was about the thing you said I was right about, that the nature looks really bad and distasteful, you just proved I'm right about the crappy walking around in a forest world in Oblivion.

-worse graphics than Morrowind
-ugly faces
-corner lag, raspy shadows, unrealistic water
-combat is people hitting each other with little reactions to swinging/impact (i.e. combat animations suck)
-everything looks dull and boring
-dull and dark-looking
-repeating trees
-"midgets"/animals look low-graphical

I'm sure it's not about how it looks. (Go back and look at how you wrote your paragraphs; it's basically word-for-word minus the parts I rewrote to shorten)

Combat works well, as in mechanic-wise. You have to keep in mind your attributes, armor and weapon quality, helath, magicka, and stamina. If you're in the late-game crank up the difficulty and watch as everything gets much tougher to kill. Saying that combat doesn't work because enemies look bad when fighting each other only further backs up my claims about you focusing on graphics.

So my one line proved you right and me automatically wrong? I wasn't quoting you for my last part. I'm going off of reasons I love the game, along with what I've heard from Youtubers, reviews, friends, et cetera. Oblivion is very well-loved for being immersive. It gives you enough of a nudge in the right direction unlike Skyrim's hand-holding, and doesn't shove you out of a boat and tell you what to do but now how to do it, unlike Morrowind. One of Oblivion's greatest flaws is the bland landscapes and dungeons. The quests make up for it, in my opinion. I made a lot of comparisons to Skyrim because it's referred to as the best game in the series, so I was showing how Bethesda used what Skyrim struggled with better back when they made Oblivion. Don't try to invalidate my entire post because I agreed on one point, and if you really want to keep using fallacies to "disprove" my points then go read the longer reviews and see if my points really match up.

>Like everyone knows
Pretty sure you're in the minority here pal.

>It failed to be better then Morrowind even in terms of graphics.
That is simply incorrect as Oblivion has better animations, higher resolution textures and models. A more valid argument is that you like Morrowind's art style better, but that is still shouldn't be put as a fact, as their art styles are meant to be different.

>It failed to be better then Skyrim in terms of what you can do in the game.
This I can see more reasoning behind; however, they did remove a lot, and by my preference, I would rather have what they removed than what they added. (ie. spell crafting, repairing). But this is not needed, as both games can have mods that add all of the missing features to both of the games, and Bethesda knows this, but what they cannot add back (atleast not without a lot of work) are the missing birthsigns and schools of magic. Inb4 "standing stones" as those can be changed anytime, which to me ruins the point.

>The graphic has NO hunching from attack, NO reaction when you hit them at all and NO realistic sense whatsoever.
have you even played the game? There are skills that reduce your faultering, or increase your opponents. Faultering is a thing in Oblivion. Also, I bet you did not know that you can trip in combat or walking around. Yea, you can actually trip from trying to be too acrobatic when you havn't skilled enough. There is diversity in the animations.

>everything in the game just looks so dull and boring. It isn't made to be in a dull and dark setting
I understand what you're trying to say and I can see your point; however, Skyrim's setting was extremely dull and colorless, but thats the point. Its the art style, and I, for one, enjoyed Oblivion's just as I enjoy Skyrim's and Morrowind's.

This was my reply to all of your main points. This is not hate, so stop being hateful and calling fans of this game braindead.

I agree with you that these aspects of the game sucks. Thanks for pointing it out.

Oh shut up. And no it doesn't. All of the things you listed like stats are completely irrelevant to how it LOOKS. It isn't good at all. It basically looks like two guys waving their arms at eachother like stickmen just waving at eachother. There is nothing about the combat that is good because they just stand there and wave. What I'm talking about is graphic mechanics like dodging, hunching, and swords crossing so it looks like someone is actually fighting. im sure you know nothing about how it should look, compared to the game you defend.

Your talk about stats affecting how it looks it complete rat spillings and you failed to counter my argument. Those two combined means I'm right.

Wall of text. You sound like a kid in kindergarten who is trying to prove to his friends that the game he wants to play is cool and then fails. To sum it up, you start to grasp for halmstrings here and desperately want to find something to hype up that your beloved oblivion isn't the glass of urine in a champagne glass. It's clear that you have no real arguments, you're just searching for something that cen save it from the death knell on steam that will be the inevitable result of this ttred. Also, that thing when you said "looking at you imperial voice" was just so ugly.

Don't try to invalidate my entire post because I agreed on one point, and if you really want to keep using fallacies to "disprove" my points then go read the longer reviews and see if my points really match up.
And what fallasies are these? Again, in your desparete attempt to sound smart and come up with something, you make a falsified claim in your lack of valid arguments.

Making your profile private doesn't stop anyone from seeing that you are a cheater.
This guy's a big troll, obviously. I listed YOUR (not mine, I think the game looks good for a 2006 game) points and you said I agreed with you, completely ignoring the part where I said they were yours. You're so riddled in fallacies (e.g. "in your desperate attempt to sound smart and come up with something, you make a falsified claim in your lack of arguments")

I have over 100 hours in this game on this account alone, and you have multiple VAC bans. Clearly you're so bad at games you need to rage in a subforum of a a game you WEREN'T banned in.

There. Peek a boo. Voila. Switched to public.

The reason i hid it was that I got lots of triggered comments from people from the forum so stop tghat plz.
Fair enough, but that doesn't change the points. I'm still not sure if your problem with combat is the animations or the lack of movement (dodging, partying, etc.) but both of those can be fixed with mods. Graphics can be fixed with mods, too. Just about anything in Oblivion can be fixed with mods due to Bethesda's great mod support, which is really helpful.
