Oblivion Speechcraft for me in a nutshell: "You're a BIG. FAT. LIAR." "You're full of it." "You're revolting." *Dumps 10000g into bribe* (Your Speechcraft skill has increased) "How may I help you, friend?" (With a stupid grin on their face)

Oblivion was a fairy tale, and I mean that in the best possible way. Nearly all the quests felt like something out of a fairy tale book that you'd find on the bookshelf of your grandparent's house when you were visiting.

[@elijahdavallos6955]

The Dark Brotherhood quest-line got particularly dark. It’s like it was straight out of a Brothers Grimm story!

[@BenjaminGessel]

Akuma Masurao Ok, but Baldur's Gate I/II, Wheel of Time, and American McGee's Alice are still superior to Oblivion, esp. with regard to the main quest and side quests/storyline, etc.

[@karp.x]

BenjaminGessel uhm u cant really compare baldurs gate to elder scrolls

[@BenjaminGessel]

Ernest Korsunov Sure you can. They are different kinds of fantasy games, but they are both fantasy games. The amount of repetition in Oblivion is obviously way, WAY, WAAAAY higher than in Baldur's Gate. For that reason alone, considering that both are remarkable games, Baldur's Gate wins.

[@karp.x]

i love how in oblivion, your not some reincarnation or dragon soul fueled prophecy dude. your just a somewhat normal person fighting for what he believes in.

[@Frendlu]

And Morrowind was better. It's not about being (input here the glorious name) it's about how, after so many difficulties, you became that way. You earn it not because someone told you that, you earn it because you did it possible after so many difficulties. Is curious that Morrowind only have a glorius name (Oblivion too) and that, make you "special", but Skyrim have a lot of them, and you don't care. Ok, Thane, ok Listener, ok Dragonborn... I don't care🥱🥱

Same as Morrowind. Same as oblivion. The underlying lore implies the same divinity. In the elder scrolls our player characters are the avatar of a god, that god is the player themselves. That's what is so magically about TES, the real mind blowing fiction does not take center stage. It's disguised as traditional fantasy but it's so much deeper.

[@armand4116]

I remember the fisrt time i left the prison (at the beginning of the game) and i saw that huge open world before my eyes. It was amazing.

[@GunJunX11]

I loved that some NPC's would change their voice entirely when you selected certain dialogue options. Little imperfections like that make the already enjoyable game hilarious on top of it all.

[@joeltheowl3299]

Thomas Edmonson I know right. Oblivion (and most Bethesda games) are buggy as hell but the good type of buggy. Not only does it not affect the experience in a negative way, sometimes it's freaking hilarious. I remember one time entering in a castle at night and there were 2 guards sitting in the thrones instead of the king and queen. Needless to say i laughed my ass off.

[@Garthorium]

If this is referring to the beggars, the voice change was done on purpose. They mostly speak in a serious tone when talking directly about the Blind Fox or Thieves Guild related quests, in which they know you are a member of the guild. When speaking to you when not a member, they maintain their starchy beggar voice to keep up the act of being 'just' a beggar. This is the general consensus anyway. I don't really know of anyone else who changes their voice, and I've played through the game *a lot*.

[@crazybrothers179]

When this game came out I was a little kid at the time. I remember when I used to sit down on the couch with my dad and just watch him play it. I was never much as a watcher but for some reason this is the only game I actually enjoyed watching someone play for long periods of time. I remember when we first loaded the game and instantly immersed into the world of oblivion. How the story instantly kicked off from that dungeon. Designing you own unique character. Learning what skills and spells you want to use for your play style as you go though your first dungeons. This game really has a special place in my heart because me and my dad really bonded over this game. I could not wait for him to get home from work to watch him play it. If he was playing it, I was there with him. We would talk about what's going on in the story and share are thoughts and opinions on it. Then talk about it again the next day. (Also we loved setting off the traps while in dungeons and caves lol). When I stared to play oblivion my dad would watch me play it too and help me along the way. But the point of this comment is that this game really bonded me and my dad together for a lifetime +1 Who ever says video games serve no purpose and are a waste of time, go fuck your self.

Same. Especially the time i found out about all the random quests. In fact, I believe all the quests were random. Cause the game made you wanna explore. And you never knew what would happen *cough cough* college of winterhold *cough cough*

[@Windsbee]

Oblivion was my first Elder scrolls game, and is today still one of my favorites. Compared to Skyrim and Morrowind, there's something that keeps drawing me back to it. In oblivion I have this urge and desire to explore everything, even though I've seen it all several times before. The music, oh the music, Jeremy Soule you sun of a gun, absolutely breathtaking. The quests, the factions, the main story, the cities, the towns, the npc's, everything was just so much more desired to experience and enjoy than for example the later installment Skyrim. The graphics were so bright and green, watching the sunset over imperial city while triking along a road.. I have no more words except for Best The Elder Scrolls Game of all Time!

[@chenai8372]

Windsbee Oblivion was my first too and will definitely hold a special place in my heart.

[@XY-dc4yp]

[@thewhat531]

You are over-encumbered

[@inspectorbutters166]

What I really loved about Oblivion is that once I've accomplished something important in the game, the NPC's would start to recognize me, saying it's an honor to meet the imperial arch mage or thanking me for my intervention at Kvatch. Sure, Skyrim did that, too. But not as often and it didn't feel that rewarding

[@Viljarms]

Yes, Oblivion is a warm, colorful and personal game. Let's go through the main characters you meet in Skyrim's main quest (Slight Spoilers?): Jarl Balgruuf, Irileth, Farengar, The Greybeards, Delphine, Esbern. Are any of these memorable or likeable? Do you feel a bond? None of them get personal. In fact through the whole main-quest you don't save a soul and you don't get any bonds forged through real hardship or loss. Do you remember that one soldier in the first oblivion gate? Yes, because he turns to you in a time of danger.

[@Viljarms]

So to sum it, in Oblivion you're a nobody being a hero, whilst in Skyrim you're a hero being a nobody.

[@Dave-ef5mv]

[@At1asTheProto]

@@Viljarms Wow, I've never played Oblivion, and have been playing and enjoying Skyrim until I was 5 but you're completely right.

[@jamiepeterson5646]

Most of the time, yeah. But then you're the arch mage, and the imperial battlemages still greet you by saying: "Ahh! You must be the arcane university's newest member." I mean, they're not wrong though.

[@TheZandaz]

For me, Oblivion did 4 big things which means I prefer it to Skyrim: 1) Zaney characters - these were memorable, slightly out there. Everyone was unique, from necrophiliac alchemists to paranoid townsfolk. 2) Quests - the quests were so much richer in Oblivion than Skyrim. Dark Brotherhood had many interesting assassinations, main quest was pressing. Also you were just an ordinary person who made a name for themselves, rather than having blatant fame thrust upon you with magical powers. 3) Classes - though some people complain about fixed combat, it made every character feel unique. In Skyrim they tried to be flexible, but encouraged the trio of mage, assassin or warrior. In Oblivion you could be any specific thing you liked. It also made the game more replayable and having multiple characters rewarding. In Oblivion I had a dozen characters and never got bored. In Skyrim I ended up doing everything on one account because it was too tedious to use an alt. 4) Fantasy world - in Oblivion I felt like the world was different to my own, it felt magical, different. It had an atmosphere of the wonderful and outlandish. Skyrim on the other hand just felt a bit dead, like a medieval game with some fantasy thrown in. Another realm was invading, minotaurs, ogres and goblins lurked in every corner. In every corner something new anddifferent appeared, whereas in SKyrim once I'd seen 1/4 of it I felt like I'd seen it all. My opinon but think it's quite relatable.

[@trixacy]

Zandaz Skyrim is by far my favorite game but I actually do agree with you. its just an urge to go back to skyrim although I've played it like 10 times.

[@LCInfantry]

Some people complain that they would rather be a hero type character with fame because "why the f I'm I playing a video game for if I'm not bad ass". And other people like the idea of starting from nothing and working your way up from a random peasant. Can't always please everyone's interests.

[@TheZandaz]

True, that is down to individual interest Jason, nothing can change how people feel. I obviously prefer the latter lol.

[@TheZandaz]

I'd say Skyrim is the better game TriX , mechanically, graphically with a better skill system and more content, but I prefer Oblivion for the charm. IDK it's just me.

[@RobLucciXIII]

i agree with you on all points. Skyrim improved on a lot, but it didnt have that feeling Oblivion gave me. Especially regarding the quests.

[@shadowvalentine7734]

This game was the first open world RPG I had ever played. This is what started it all... This game tought me the true meaning behind the word "escape". The passion I now feel overwhelms me at times and leaves me with a sorrowful feeling as I know that I have done everything in the games that I love and have to wait years for the creation of another diamond in the rough. I wish I could erase everything that I know about Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, and every Fallout made so that I could relive every moment as if for the very first time... Words cannot describe the love I have for The Elder Scrolls... It burns in me.

[@LusciousDollie]

Shadow Claire I'm with you there!! I yearn & dream of playing Morrowind all over again, and have it sitting idle in my closet, because I'm afraid to replace the memories I have. The beauty is one can play as a whole new character & follow a different path, so you do get a chance to experience the games differently in a way.

[@fluro3769]

In my first play through I attacked someone by accident and accidentally left the conversation with the guard, which resulted in me going on a killing spree as I traveled on foot from area to area. This ended when I went to sleep only to be woken up by Lucien, which resulted in me deleting that save file, creating a new character, killing a guard, taking his silver sword, sleeping in a camp, joining the Dark Brother hood and it just goes from there.

[@fluro3769]

Michael Gusevsky I always took down the guard by the stables at the Imperial city, there is a large rock not too far from it which you can jump on and camp while you kill him with magic and arrows, takes forever but it works. This was until I discovered that you can just do the arena and defeat the grand champion after doing his quest. Because it counts but it won't register as a murder. It's a great strategy and you get a few levels out of it.

I am not completely sure about it but I think there is a psychological reason as well. when you give an opinionated video about something then ask people about their thoughts at the end you avoid people that try to attack your videos and actually get more constructive arguments and point in the comment section. Otherwise it would be "you are stupid for this opinion that I don't agree with..blah blah blah".

[@GoldenLombaxGirl]

What made Oblivion great Oblivion great was the Dark Brotherhood for me! And it was unexpected. I killed a Mythic Dawn spy in her home with The Crusader stuff (Since it was a part of the main quest of aiding the soon-to-be emperor Martin Septim) and as I did a saw "a dark presence watches you" or something and I'm like...Shit! It's gonna be an ambush! But...I saw nobody. I went to sleep in my house that was once a haunted manor and there he was...Lucien Lachance. I was honestly mesmerized by him and his introduction and wanted to recruit me into The Dark Brotherhood and gave me The Blade of Woe in case of reconciliation. Now I followed the good route, not taking any of the bad routes. (I wore the Crusader's armour and weapons as proof of that.) But after completing Knights of The Nine and The Main Quest...I felt empty, even though there were a lot of quests and such. I happened to pass the Inn Lucien described and found out why whoever wanted Rufio dead... I SLAUGHTERED HIM AND TRAPPED HIM IN THE DOOR AND WATCHED HIS BODY CONSTANTLY CONVULSE! HAHAHAHAHA! >>:DThan was my first sinful route and after Lucien congratulated me I placed away all me stuff in The Knights of The Nine's Temple and started my new life with my new family. They were some of the best and challenging quests I've ever played. And it was all worth it becoming Lucien's Silencer, him giving me Shadowmere (The BEST horse in the game! Others were so slow!)and going to all these Dead Drops. And the Twist was a surprise! Both Lucien and I being deceived by a traitor! I had to prove Lucien's Innocence, but I was too late and was in shock at what happened to him. (Arquen and the others of The Black Hand are idiots, though. I wished one of them could mention about Lucien's Silencer (Me or Player) and have them wait for me to watch Lucien's fate. That way I could go You fools captured the wrong man! Holding up the traitor's Diary and Mother's Head. Lucien did his job right.) Anyway, I became Listener but my heart felt empty and black as The Void.

My favorite thing? The story. Not just the main story but the factions and the arena stories as well. If felt alive and exciting every little thing you did or accomplished. It made you feel important when the characters actually acknowledged your skills and devotion. Owen the bladmaster, he starts how feeling nothing but contempt for you but slowly starts treating you as a dear friend as he watched you progress throughout the ranks. The epic heist the Gray fox himself entrusts to you and the reward he grants you. The battle with Mannimarco himself. The corrupted hist tree. Defeating the dark brotherhood by yourself and witnessing the epic betrayal play out. Finally saving all of Cyrodil from the oblivion crisis, all the while feeling the hatred AND respect of your enemies. The shivering isles! The knights of the nine! All of it was breathtaking to me...I had hoped to feel the same, if not better when I first bought Skyrim...I'd never been more disappointed. It's fun, but nothing, NOTHING in that game has the same gravity that Oblivion did. I wish it was at least even. Anyone else feel the same?

[@tranquilmagister8481]

well the guards certainly don't want you to be a deadric worshiper, since most of them are evil or twisted; you will commit many crimes to do their's bidding. I guess that would considered as devil worship in our world, of the devil actually existed/and wold reply. edit: same goes for you being a "master thief" and the "the listener"

[@connormckay2862]

Vel Koz ""Psst. Hey, I know who you are. Hail Sithis!" -Dark Brotherhood "Seeing as how Riften is home to the Thieves Guild, maybe we can work something out if you get into trouble with the law. For the right price." -Thieves Guild, also every major hold has positive thieves guild dialogue from the guards as well considering the only daedric guard dialogue is either neutral (when they talk about your armor/equipped items) or positive (not towards the player but towards daedra in general - ""It is whispered that one of the Daedric Princes himself is behind the murder of Elisif. It would seem even the nobility of Oblivion favors our cause.") It would be easy to assume the guards DON'T care. Not to mention how corrupt the Markarth guards are, and even some of the Riften ones. And even if your point was still valid, you still haven't explained why they'd think you're criminal scum for literally saving the world from dragons and being the thane of a hold. whoops.

[@tranquilmagister8481]

+Connor Mckay well i see your point; but the chance of a guard say those lines are randomized(if the player are in that faction); so technically all guards are with the thieves guild and the dark brotherhood eventually. *But* if you do commit a crime thievery/murder after they declare them self to be with the thieves guild/dark brotherhood they could't care less that they "are" in the same faction, instead the will arrest you. Why they say so is probably a joke from bethesda's part, since the guard gain new lines for each larger quest lines the player completes; and they just thought: hey, why not... Even so, no thief nor murderer in their right mind would allow deadric worship, since to do so often comes with large consequences, that will most likely effect other as well. Since i found it hard to believe that all guards in Skyrim are not right minded... actually i don't, there is no need to even try defend them. after all their largest concerns is if someone stole their sweets....

[@connormckay2862]

Vel Koz so what? It doesn't matter if you're in the guild or not. They still said it. It's in the game. Therefore, my conclusion may be incorrect, but yours isn't right either. And they bounty/arrest you because that's their JOB... There are speechcraft perks and certain events where you can bribe the guards to "look the other way" anyways, at least for smaller crimes (not sure about murder) My problem wasn't really that you said the DB, Thieves guild, and Daedra worshipers were bad and the guards would be after them. My problem with it was that you decided "hey, let me tell this guy why he's wrong but then don't talk about the other 15 points he made" those points being Dragonborn, Thane of every city, Ranking member of the Blades, Arena Grand Champion, Imperial/Stormcloak "leader", etc. It's like, you wanted to complain just to complain. Which is why I replied in the first place. And don't tell me "but complaining wasn't my GOAL!!!!!!!!!!1111" because we all see your first comment trying to correct the original for literally no reason.

I remember when Oblivion first came out I stole a sword from a store and got chased by a soldier on a horse which was pretty cool and scary at the time! And watching this video makes me want to go hop on my 360 and play a little bit of it or maybe a lot! :D

[@Notchella1]

Oblivion was my childhood game. Everything about the game to me was perfect, the characters were so rich and enjoyable, the stories were so gritty and immersive (I found myself tearing up over the death of Martin and Lucien and becoming emotionally investing in the Grey Fox's relationship with the countess of Anvil), despite the more cartoony graphics I found the world utterly beautiful. Despite Morrowind being the pinnacle of the series and Skyrim being the most visually beautiful, Oblivion will always be my favourite.

[@Draevan13]

Back when Oblivion launched I'd only dabbled in a few games, mostly shooters and RTSs on my dad's computer and I'd tried Morrowind for a few hours, but never was that into games. Then I went over to a friend's house after Christmas in 2006, and he'd just gotten a new 360 and Oblivion. I tried it out and was immediately hooked. I played it every chance I got, and when I finally moved out of my parent's place in 2009 and got my own place and was able to buy my own shit, I bought Oblivion and played it nearly every time I had the chance for the next year. I'll always have a special place in my heart for Oblivion as the game that made me a gamer.

[@adamyates7906]

I love all the elder scrolls games, I prefer Skyrim to oblivion, but I prefer morrowind to Skyrim. The one biggest problem I have (and a lot of people do aswell) is the enemy scaling system. Leveling up punished you due to the fact that enemies leveled up directly with you, and reaching certain levels, new types of enemies would replace the old. Morrowind, and skyrim (but not to much of an extent) throw you in the deep end. Morrowind, you start the game and its impossible to even be able to hit most human enemies untill youve leveled up, giving the feeling of progression. Oblivion could all be completed at level 1. It was just kinda stupid. Thats pretty much the only thing I dont like about it, but its a pretty big thin imo

[@NobleCaboose117]

Pr0totyp3 _09 That doesn't address my point. You allege that Oblivion is better because it isn't remastered like Skyrim. But no one is forcing you to play the remasters. So I still fail to see how that is relevant at all.

[@RogueLancer]

My favorite part of Oblivion? The class system. I prefer it over Skyrim's. Oblivion was the game that brought D&D from your imagination to a physical world and, the class system was very similar. From the start you choose what you're going to be. I was a wood elf, scout/rogue. Where in Skyrim, I'm everything including part dragon. Don't get me wrong. I love Skyrim. However, Oblivion made you feel more important, because you earned it and, earned it by doing things your way.

[@anad9668]

Rogue Lancer thats very true when i play oblivion it feels like im truly making it my own story but skyrim just didnt do that for me the player will always be a dragonborn not realy anything else that you may want to be in that world

[@My_Spiritual_Journey.]

Yeah.. I loved the messages that you got from leveling up. It felt so personal.

[@Torthrodhel]

I like to add some of that back in with some mods. Skyrim definitely is far too all-encompassing per-character. You want to feel like your character can't do some things, in order to make the things they can do feel more special. In a way, if you're everyone at the same time, you're also no-one at the same time. I don't blame them for trying a new thing and it worked well in some ways, but they went too far with it.

[@exodore2000]

I feel similar about fallout 3/new vegas vs fallout 4 as well. The new progression doesn't make me feel the way it use to.

[@gravecorps5876]

I loved the way the soundtrack helped me immerse myself in the world.

You could access key locations via silt strider, boat, or teleportation but the more obscure locations need to be reached either on foot or through magic recall. It made the game feel more engaging and forced you to consider travel as part of the game. It also didn't hurt that Morrowind's world was super interesting to see.

I also adored how much contrast you felt when the first mission ended and you stepped out into the world and the world was all like "go anywhere", AND YOU COULD.

MarshallZPie M. Yup have 2 360 copies which blew my mind back in the day. Playing it on PC and the game is still so fucking fun. Especially with better fps/mods.

[@greatsupper]

Same, I just got back into it the other day. I also replayed MGS4 a couple weeks ago too lol

[@bulletcaleb]

BLuNTeR just bought it on Steam sale again lol

[@APZ209]

Lucien Lachance Love MGS4, amazing it came out when it did. Definitely gotta replay it sometime, it's epic.

[@morganlemons1694]

Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni

Morgan Lemons we want... a shrubbery!

Runs-in-circles! or it might be Walks-in-circles... :)

I was 13 when oblivion first came out. I played it on my old beaten up xbox 360 and it was extremely enthralling, i couldn't stop playing! I remember running home from school just to emmerse myself in this extremely addictive game. I felt so proud when I beat the "oblivion" with the hero that I had carefully upgraded and scavenged for the perfect weapons with, like i had finally created the perfect warrior. Months later when the first expansions began to roll out i could once again not stop playing, suddenly my perfect hero was facing different monsters and challenges, challenges I couldnt have possibly prepared for. This game was the basis of my love for fantasy and gaming as a whole and I will never forget it, and my experiences in the province of Cyrodiil.

[@nathansaidak605]

The Dark Brotherhood questline in Oblivion still has yet to be topped . Favorite in the series

[@syroxide]

extremely evil, but in a MUAHAHAHAHA way. not the dark skyrim crap

[@replacement9549]

The Arena was awesome, with the commentator guy and the fact that you got to pick a title, it was great. The mages guild was also great, making your own spells and such was amazing, I really wish they brought some stuff that was in Oblivion, into Skyrim.

[@ShotClanTxter]

getting access to the vip club arcane academy by traveling the world and getting recommendations from guild leaders was amazing. In skyrim the college was empty and devoid of life and they instantly accepted you

[@killfrontier2372]

Replacement 0105 fun fact: That commentator guy is also the arena commentator for every single Washington Capitals NHL hockey game. "LOWERRRR THE GATES!"

[@ingenious138]

Leave the arena now and rest YOU'VE EARNED IT!

[@PepperKatLancer]

what if the next Skyrim (oh no way my spell check knows Skyrim) game was the best of Oblivion and Skyrim?

[@PhillipHuanRodriges]

Horse armor DLC - mah favourite

[@Kiliny]

And still it would be considered as a big DLC Nowadays

[@benishmael9451]

80+ hours in and my horse is still at the stable outside of the Imperial City.

[@herman1francis]

My favorite thing about oblivion were the poisonned apples. You had to steal the food from an npc pocket then put the apple on his plate and let the magic happen. Beautiful.

[@olivercorlett]

My favourite part of oblivion is that i was allowed to play it when I was six and I wrote story about it in school

[@abyssalspecter93]

spell crafting and weapon enchanting was the most fun part of the older TES games, I can't believe Skyrim gutted the best thing about the combat

[@NaoyaYami]

It's so it's easier to balance the game. I still remember summoning every possible creature with one spell in MW or those super silly "all damage type projectiles". Also, that one exploit in OB when you could make enemy so weak to magic, you could deal over 1mln dmg in one second (I was able to kill Mehrunes that way - his body glitched without any collision model).

[@sertchouwy3506]

Naoya Yami How do you make a spell like this? Is it a mod? I need this spell in my life

[@rakkatytam]

You just have to keep making weakness to X type of magic spell over and over again, and just name each one differently

[@jenniferuntalon7663]

You can enchant weapons in skyrim and spell crafting was worthless because any spell you would make would cost tons of magicka

[@rakkatytam]

@@jenniferuntalon7663 Haha. Enchanting was shit in Skyrim, they really limited your options. Spell crafting was great if you know, played a magic based characters. The amount of magicka it costed was negligible if your character was built right.

[@zapristo1550]

I vaguely remember that quest with the Ninroot plants which were scattered all around the wolrd. Also maybe my favorite moment was when I had to equip that really heavy ring for mage's guild and I've lost my weapons in the grass, as I had to swim in a fountain!

[@xavierlucky397]

ZaPristo Nirnroot always made this strange sound too.

[@patrickrichardson5934]

Oblivion was a mile marker not only in the gaming industry but in my gaming journey. This was the first game I had played other than turn based games on my gameboy color. It introduced me to the wonders of the open world game. Where one can roleplay and be whatever they wish. Thinking back on that experience almost brings tears to my eyes and renews my inner child. It wouldn't have been the same without it.

[@solidochus1]

It was 2006. I remember that my brother installed Oblivion in our old doble core pc. I started playing it. I went out of the dungeon where Tiber Septim meets you, and I remember how facinated I was for the graphics of this game, but the thing that totally blew my mind was that I saw huge mountains on the distance, and when I realized that I just could walk all the way there to those mountains, made me understand that this game was nothing compared to what I played before.

[@DatFuzzyFeelin]

THE QUESTS BRO! Dude, you gotta mention the quests. The reason skyrim was sooo shit compared to Oblivion was the quest writing. I remember having hella fun just playing through side quests, and exploring different options and ending based on your choices during the quests. Skyrim was literally " Hey go kill some monsters in a cave theyre bugging my nephew" Oblivion was like , "uh yo theres this crazy dude behind a church, and you can fuckin provoke his craziness by lying to him and make him go kill somebody by feeding him bullshit " lol. fuck skyrim , only thing doper abour skyrim was the random shit that would happen while you traveled

[@Kwazy-mojo]

Replay Oblivion while skyrim is fresh in your mind. You'll see that the quests and the imperial city are the only things that Oblivion has over skyrim. Oblivion is a heaping mess. And Skyrim quickly becomes dull.

[@ronnymaccaroni]

But quests are kinda the most important thing, right?

[@mmmmmmcookiesaregood]

Kwazy mofo it's a mess but the mess is spread over a much wider area, meaning a player has to overcome this "mess" in order to play the game, and that's the interesting part. The only few things that are shit about oblivion is the guards and the leveling system. Ultrawraiths that kill you in 3 seconds aren't fun at level 30, and I don't like the fact that guards will run across the entirety of cyrodiil just to make you pay 30 gold

[@castalov247]

The best quest was when you had to kill an ogre in order to retrieve some sweet potatoes.

[@Derrickstare]

Yeah I'm with Stunt36 here. Both Skyrim and Oblivion are incredible. When playing Skyrim, I really miss things like Spellmaking, leveling athletics, the voice actors and music from Oblivion, and most of all, the interesting quests. Seriously, they put effort into making Oblivion's quests unique as hell, the citizens in Cyrodiil seemed CRAZY and I loved it! But when playing Oblivion, of course, I miss the combat progression and simple leveling system from Skyrim. As well as Skyrim's beautiful graphics and scenery... Although personally, I like the bright vibrancy of Cyrodiil about 100x better than Skyrim's dreary landscape.
