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.

Just as many found Oblivion easier than Skyrim's beyond-dumbed-down everything.

When I talk about ease im not talking about game difficulty, they are all relatively easy games (even oblivion once you get used to stupid level scaling and damage-sponge enemies)... I was talking about how easy it was to find yourself immersed in those games, especially due to the amazing ***atmosphere***.

Immersion is in the head. TES games barely give you any role-playing options and barely react to any of your choices. All has to be imagined by the player.
Compare it to Fallout New Vegas, for example. There you have dialogue options that are based on your attributes, skills and perks, as well as dialogue choices that allow your to express your opinions and mention things from your (imagined) background if you want. You interact with various groups and they react accordingly. You have choices in quests that aren't simple good/evil options or that are only there so that you can get more money for your trouble, and some of these choices again depend on your build. These are actual role-playing elements. In TES, you only have stats, and you still have to restrain yourself from accidentally playing as a stealth archer again and again in Skyrim.
Things are better in Daggerfall, however, and there are some (slight) consequences in Morrowind.

If not for the better story (if just as generic as "we gots to save da world from teh dragon") then for the setting (I can understand how people might find snow boring but there is a lot of diversity in Skyrim, and let us not forget the alien landscape from Solstheim) and quite possibly the best soundtrack of the series. Thats just my personal preference when it comes to the TES games I suppose, atmosphere can make or break the entire experience. I do think Oblivion has more of a goofy/cartoonish feel, I mean paired with the broken and 99% of the time comical Radiant AI how can it not. I would much rather walk through the streets of whiterun and hear the NPC's talking to each other about fckin apple prices (conversations that atleast aren't too stupid) than walk through the imperial city and hear two NPC's roll a dice and land on a conversation topic and answer accordingly. Example: Man 1: "Hello" Man 2: "Goodbye" Man 1: "Hello" Man 2: " Have you heard word of the other provinces?" Man 1: "Goodbye" (Both walk away). Pair that conversation with completely weird looking faces (nice word for ugly) and terrible voice acting and yes, you have what I would consider goofy/cartoonish.

True. Seconded with deucey. Oblivion has more of a goofy and cartoonish feel, and this is what i personally hate about it. The faces look so fkn ugly and looks worse then morroeind even though that game was made way before oblivion. i think they delibaretely did this so the game would look "magical" and "atmospheric" however this just fail. The characters in oblivion just make me puke in terms of how fkn retarded they all seem when you look at them and also the animations look like it would of been made at the same age in time as games that were made in before 2005.

Just think about this: how fun is it killing a guy when there is no animation when he falls from standing and into the ground he just plat. Pancake. And lies squeezed to the ground INSTANLTY when the last blow touches him.

How fun is it feeling like you are in a cartoon world and could encounter spongebob squarepants instead of some exotic creature female chajiit that actually looks like a cat and not some fkn hairball with and ugly face. Eat feces, oblivion fanboys.


As for the skills in Skyrim everything is more open ended, yes there is no class system but if you want to play a certain "class" you would just spend points into those trees. I do think a real RPG class system such as Morrowind/Oblivions would be better but you are wrong on a couple of points: "Want to learn cool new moves? Increase your bladed and blunt skills." Well, you understand thats also how it works in Skyrim right? Except when you level up from skill increases, you open the menu and put a point into the weapons perk tree to "unlock cool moves" dood. "Want to utilize armor better? Increase your heavy and light armor skills." Same thing dude, cmon. For all the people saying they dumbed down skyrim for casual console players you don't seem to be understanding how things work too well, also im not at all implying Skyrim isn't dumbed down. Which comes to your points on acrobatics/speed and the spell crafting. Yes they removed them in Skyrim which is a shame, but don't use it as a point to defend Oblivion when in Morrowind it was soooo much more. Spellcrafting in Morrowind was so much better and starting out as a snail made you definitely appreciate acrobatics and athletics. Two skills that got heavily nerfed in Oblivion. I could tell you of a dozen more things that either got butchered in Oblivion or scrapped all together (basically any ranged weapons aside from shooting a bow with arrows that need viagra).

In skyrim community, there are innoficial classes that are made up by its users. These include among others trickster, child, bard, berserk etc. That can only be compared to the custom system in 'blivion.

This is also true that oblivion is nothing special, its just avarage here and avarage there. They are and inbetweener of skyrim's skillpicking and the rpg feel of morrowind. Morrowind did what oblivion did and better, even though it was made BEFORE oblivion. Thats why oblivion became so-so of this and so-so of that with also sporting incredibly goofy graphics. So then they found new ways to make the game less uninteresting again than oblivion i skyrim. Atleast skyrim is better than oblivion in terms of what you can do in the game and which ways you want to play.

How fun is is pulling through a slow jerk off game where everything is laid out for you and where the rpg has been gutted and sacrificed anyway? I mean come on. Nothing is worse then waking up doing something and then just doing an "RPG" where you have no customization like in 'blivion and just pull through quest after quest when you know exactly what youre going to get when there is no rpg left.

I know exactly what you were talking about and my statement still stands. I found myself more immersed in Oblivion than Skyrim, both moreso than Morrowind.

So far you have yet to actually prove that. All you've thus done is trash talk everyone defending Oblivion in the slightest bit and saying "I spit on you". Yeah, you really are some douche who starts threads just to incite argument and discord.

If you can find yourself more immersed in Oblivion then great, more power to ya. But just wait until the day you walk through the imperial city and hear them talking about those filthy mudcrabs again and you come to the realization that its all just a big meme.
