oblivion or skyrim which is better?

[yourking77]

which is better oblivion or skyrim, my favorite game of all time is oblivion, i have done every quest in both games and i really do prefere oblivion still, skyrim is boring and not pc friendly without mods, oblivion is the perfect game the story line is interesting and thought out, the mages guild you do stuff like mages would do, the theives guild you do stuff a theif would do, in skyrim the quest are boring and all the quest are so easy anyone could do them, i hacked and slashed my way throught the theives guild the first time, it sucked. they also took out a lot of the rpg aspects in skyrim, i cant decorate my house like i could in oblivion for example. so what do you guys think skyrim or oblivion

[Fragile Waters]

Personally, I prefer Oblivion's story, gameplay, quest style. However, I feel that Skyrim is more modable, and has the best overall presentation. (except maybe soundtrack.)

Both games are great, but I like Oblivion more than Skyrim.

Oblivion all the way

Skrim

Both Games Are Good, You Should Just Get em Both...

Oblivion MODS are great the lingerie ones, and that one "Estrus" MOD turns Oblivion into An XXX-Rated Game Basically...

Oh god--guess I should have read the description first lol.
I've seen so many of these threads pop up I automatically thought this was another person trying to ask which one to get again.

Anyways against one or the other I'd go with Oblivion since there's more stuff to do and it actually acts like an RPG.

Skyrim's fine but it's pretty much just straight up action with some half-assed RPG stuff sprinkled in until you mod the ♥♥♥♥ out of it.

The problem is Bethesda over-simplified everything in Skyrim for some reason or another.
They took out so much of the game with it and you can only put so much of it back through mods.

Why not Both?

yess its all graphics and geared towards the dumbest kid with money, they took out all the rpg aspects and theres no creativity in any of the quest

I love Skyrim very much, but I'm rather falling for Oblivion at the moment.

Interested to know how Skyrim is closer to Morrowind in any way than Oblivion, given most old-school TES fans seem to complain endlessly about Skyrim's removal of attributes, classes and permanent birth signs (all of which were still in Oblivion), as well as spell making (which was still in Oblivion). I much prefer magic in Oblivion to Skyrim, I can keep a sword and shield equipped alongside a spell, and there are all sorts of nifty things I can do with spells (night eye, detect life, feather, water breathing/walking, summon undead spells, chameleon...) And I'm pretty sure I'm playing Oblivion my own way every bit as much as I do in Skyrim. (Also, duel wielding is meh and pretty unrealistic, from what I know it's basically Not A Thing in real fighting styles.)

(Also, you can't make peace in Skyrim, you can merely call a truce while you sort out the dragons. Of course, once you've dealt with Alduin, the game doesn't seem to bother reinstating the war, but then it's not like much happens until you get involved - because that's totally how wars work...)

Oblivion??? what the hell... you don't played Morrowind.... Every old-school player know Skyrim bring back to us Morrowind style! SO Obolvion is WORST!!! I ADMIT WORST GAME of THE Elder Scrolls... you don't have any good magic skills... you can't use x2 weapons... and... physics of Oblivion... so... lame and not realystic... storyline so lame and don't let you play YOUR OWN WAY... becouse OBLIVION is a HELL... you don't play OBLIVION... it's OBLIVION PLAYS YOU! Skyrim not as ideal... but I prefer Skyrim for FREE CHOICE GAME PLAY of THE STORY LINE! I can decide stay for Nords or Imperials (Civil WAR) OR Ultimate x2 variants make peace or not join into war. Than same position to guilds. I personaly hate darkbrotherhood... if you remember a story of TES... than you must know at Morrowind Dark Brotherhood hunt for you(Tribunal Expansion) SO you can Like what ever you wanna... but I decide Skyrim! :terraria::whiterun:

This was a very confusing and uninformed wall of text.

Oblivion, if anything, is as close to morrowind than any other TES game once you factor in the RPG elements, combat, graphics engine, etc...

If you're going to whine about magic, you might want to notice how you can wield weapons and still cast spells, like the poster above mentioned. Sure, you can't equip two kinds of spells like you can in Skyrim, but there is a myriad of spells contained in Oblivion, a plethora unrivaled by Skyrim.

Of course, I can't argue over preferred storylines, that's all subjective and opinionated. However, I must say that the depth of the lore and writing contained in Oblivion certainly gives Skyrim a bit of a bad name. I feel much more immersed in the affairs of Oblivion and much more interested in them than I ever did running around in Skyrim.

While I must sound like an Oblivion fanboy, it should be known I had my start in the TES series with Skyrim, where I fell in love with TES. From there, I've worked myself backwards all the way back to Arena. I just happen to think Oblivion is my overall favorite, though I love them all.

thank you guys for telling this guy hes an idiot, oblivion is closer to morrowind,i would like morrowind but its too old for me, i like it but it gives me a headach after a while, skyrim is the farthest thing from any of the eler scrolls, they took out what made the rest good for me, and above all i cant decorate my nice little home in skyrim.
