How's the Game vs Skyrim?

Well you bought it, so... yeah.

It's different, but definitively the same feeling.
It's an "old" skyrim you could say, the RPG experience is very similar and the TES charm definitively hit a lot.
But it's older and lack some QoL (even with the remaster).

They are both great is the answer.

Why are you asking us? Are you only going to play if you get enough positive reinforcement that you'll like it?

That's just weird man.

Why would you play this over Skyrim? That's a false choice: play either whenever you want.

The truth is I am the teacher.

See how stupid you were?

Skyrim is more mundane while Oblivion is more whimsical (while not being quite as esoteric as Morrowind). There's less of a "chosen one" vibe in Oblivion compared to the other 2 and you need to actively seek out your adventure, they don't shovel it down your throat the way Skyrim does (No, Brynjolf, I'm playing a paladin this time, don't try to force me to join the thieve's guild just to advance the main story.)

While you may not have the shouts from Skyrim Spell making is more than broken enough to make up for it. (also you've got movement speed as a stat as well as Acrobatics to increase your jump height, and athletics to further increase movement speed), so honestly in a head to head fight i think the Hero of Kvatch has the Last Dragonborn beat.

I do many of the same types of things that I did in Skyrim, and it all feels great! The character plays and looks good, using a sword/shield feels good, magic feels good, archery/hunting is good, etc... And the exploration has been amazing! It feels like a whole new elder scrolls world to me! I didn't play original Oblivion, Skyrim was my thing.
I'm loving it...

One more thing, you can cast magic while holding a sword or a bow! Skyrim didn't allow for that...

Better, right out of the gate. You could argue if it was the original Oblivion, but the remaster robs Skyrim of it's crown. That great charm and story telling in the most appealing way.
This sort of remastering boosts the old Bethesda titles to dizzy hights.
Now if they do the same job on Skyrim, then we might have a challenge.

Skyrim only wishes it was as cool as Oblivion..
