5 reasons why Oblivion is better than Oblivion

How could anyone think oblivion is better than oblivion? Oblivion is clearly the superior game
muskatDR you’re joking right ? Oblivion is way better than Oblivion only a idiot would think different.
you know you've played too much oblivion when you get the flu, pray at a church and expect to be healed instantaniously
or your infamy is too high
cartmaster s nobody uses that add-on in any sort of capacity except for nirnroot farming
also, remember vampirism being a pain..
I just imagined the hearing the healing magic spell sound instantaneously! 😅😂
That’s when I found out I played way to much of oblivion.
Good one
I got into Oblivion at a time where I was stuck at home all summer with no real way to contact people. I know it's pathetic to admit, but Oblivion actually substituted for my human interaction for that summer. The characters were so well-realized that I felt like I was engaging with real people, and for that, I will always cherish it
I would heart this comment if I could bro ❤is lit
It's not pathetic, it's totally understandable. The world in Oblivion feels so alive. Especially compared to the earlier TES games, where all the NPCs that aren't trying to kill you are either pacing around aimlessly or standing perfectly still in one spot for all eternity. Oblivion's AI isn't as complex as it could've been, but it's still very impressive even by today's standards.
And since I like to keep in touch with some of the game's voice actors like Wes Johnson and Craig Sechler, it feels extra special to interact with the characters that are voiced by them.
Just one summer?
Ok, that’s incredibly sad and a new level of loneliness
*no doubt*
Talking to a beggar in Oblivion
( normal voice) the gray fox is just a myth....
Give him some gold though ( Medieval peasant voice ) thhaannkk yaa kind siirr...
They actually only drop the beggar accent when you gossip or ask about the Gray Fox, I thought it was at least half intentional
Or the speech mini game
@TAR JET son of a fuck. I never thought of that. That the accent is just them playing it up for the un-aware folk. Damn. Well that instantly makes it less annoying.

I used to love mudcrabs

Then I played Oblivion
Oblivion is flawed to the point you just can't hate it...because its flaws are what make it great
what flaws? compared to what ES game?
Dont play like you are oblivious to its flaws, which many call quirks as well
Everything in Morrowind is fun.....except combat....that you will be doing 99% of the time.
Good luck fighting that worm for 10 hours straight.
Flaws = Features
All right, then.Keep your secrets.
Oblivion is like a fun cartoon. Skyrim is like a scripted drama. Thats why I love Oblivion more.
Hmmmm, well I don't think that's a valid reason for why Oblivion is better than Skyrim. I mean, compare it to other games like Dark Souls. A much darker and stressful air to it, yet I probably rate that game higher than almost any other game I've played. (Not counting Chrono Trigger because that game will be forever #1) But your example is a great way to voice your opinion!
Skyrim is a great game, but it takes itself too seriously. I know that there's a lot of crap going on in the game that calls for a serious tone, but it's just too cold and grim, like it's trying to be the next Game of Thrones. I like how in Oblivion, there's still a lot of urgency in the game, but also plenty of room to relax and goof around.
@@Bauglir100 I don't know why being serious is considered a demerit in terms of the game's quality and standing, I mean sure, it could impact personal opinion, but objectively it doesn't make it worse.
Oh, and just to clarify, I'm not a Skyrim fanboy or anything. I actually vastly prefer Oblivion, as it is my first and favorite ES game. The only thing I dislike is the levelling system. Ugh. As soon as I get a computer, mods are gonna fix that right up.
@@Xeno_Solarus It isn't necessarily a demerit. As I said, there's a lot of stuff in Skyrim like the main quest and the civil war that warrant a more serious tone. But even most of the side quests end up being so stale and repetitive because they're mostly the same fomula, not helped by the fact that almost all of them have an intrusive sense of urgency.
Even the Sheogorath quest doesn't have the same absurdity and humor that his quests in earlier games had, and it was more or less a rehash of Oblivion's "Through A Nightmare, Darkly" quest. The Sanguine quest was just you dealing with the aftermath of some crazy stuff you apparently did, but we never actually got to see the crazy stuff while it was still in progress, much less take part in it.
@@Bauglir100 You make a great point there. I know I've had a lot more fun playing the side quests in Oblivion than I ever did in Skyrim. Even the dlc are pretty far apart. I liked the dlc in Skyrim, my personal favorite being the vampire one because of that vampire woman (forgot her name, think it was Seria or something), but when you compare those to what Oblivion offered with the Sheogorath dlc, it's a no brainer which is better. My main point was just that a lot of people consider Skyrim worse because of it's seriousness, and I do agree to an extent, the NPCs in Skyrim don't make me laugh and bring as much fun as Oblivion's.
This was the last

N2 : "Hey."

N2 : "I dont want to talk about it."

"Ok, I killed the drugar....go fight more drugar....again...it's been 7 years please..."
The Witcher 3 quests are the best.
Nah I'm a huge fan of Oblivion but there are some shite quests, like most of the fighters guild quests suck
Drauger
Most Oblivion quests are as dull as those from Skyrim imo.
Somehow I enjoyed Oblivion's combat(uh oh)
sidhardh alluri I enjoyed Oblivion’s combat too until I played Skyrim. The only thing Oblivion had on Skyrim, as far as combat goes, was the power attack. I loved the ability to knock enemies flying with that, provided that they were humanoid or smaller. Other than that, the only thing Oblivion had on Skyrim was the fame/infamy system. I liked how you could encounter bandits in caves and ruins who wouldn’t be hostile if your infamy status was high enough. It was almost like another faction.
@@anonymoussmartass5347 The killmoves. They really add some drama and flair to the combat. Nothing is nothing more awesome than beating an opponent down bare-handed and finishing them off with a huge suplex or a chokeslam, or landing the final shot with an arrow that goes right through an enemy's head. So satisfying.
Duane Green so you’re talking about the kill cam sequences added in Skyrim
You become a daedric prince in Oblivion.
Both in Morrowind and Skyrim you can only become
daedric prince champion, nothing more, and as far as
the lore goes Sheogorath is the strongest daedric prince.
MC wasnt chosen by fate, nothing, absolutely nothing, yet
he was able to beat deadric prince in direct combat and close so many
portals completely alone. Mortal? Huh, more like MONSTER. Who need
shouts tbh when you can use restauration and gice yourself +100 spped and other
atributes and oneshot people.
It's a little weird, but I like how blocking actually matters (and you can block with the sword, which is very cool)
Not only oblivion was my first tes game, it also was the first game I bought on ps3 back in the day... so many memories
The combat in Oblivion was actually decent. I enjoyed it.
It makes you focus on using your skills and using potions and enchantments which in turn makes those things feel more special cuz they can really save you butt in a tight spot, the ai navigation is the one part that really messes it up for me tho, but its still really fun and has more long term enjoyment than skyrims punchy moment of haha followed by getting bored cuz its the same every time
The worst of the main 3 in that regard LOL
@@smtandearthboundsuck8400 Lol in skyrim ? I stop using sword as soon as tutorial is over. Why bother hitting when you can burn them with your two hands ?

İ think the only way loving Skyrim more then oblivion is to play Skyrim before Oblivion..... thank GOD i played Oblivion when it came out good timess.....mmmm
I played skyrim first but i don't feel right comparing skyrim to oblivion since they're good in their own ways
@@archiebrew8184 Well you can indeed compare them but i can understand what you mean.
Skyrim was how I've met the Elder Scrolls franchise, and I feel like both have their qualities and problems
... But oblivion feels better.
KonBash amen to that, especially considering when i bought oblivion I was actually looking for Skyrim 😂 saw a mate playing it and he says yeah it's elder scrolls so I bought elder scrolls, at first I was pissed I got the wrong one but not for long 😎
@@theozlander4629 Lucky coincidence man 😂 you where pretty lucky i think its very important to play oblivion first
Oblivion is my favorite game of all time. Not the best game I've ever played, but still my favorite. :)

@@Transgender-ProphetMohammed English please?
Lies
@@Transgender-ProphetMohammed can you create custom spells in gothic? can you absolutely break and exploit the game? can you enter hell and defeat fucking satan?
The best element oblivion has is its atmosphere. The mixture of the color palet, environment and music just makes this game so good to immerse yourself in
Side quests in Oblivion are so much fun! Guilds' quests also, but what I mean is that Skyrim's side quests are usually 'fetch me this, fetch me that' (love Skyrim though, don't hate me guys). Oblivion just did it better and there are also quests that don't want you to fight, but to think and that's the best part of this game
Great vid, Cantina :)
I agree with that
But when it comes to RPG aspects, Skyrim is better. You have more decisions, like Civil war and Dawnguard and Saadia.
Not really an RPG aspect when none of your decisions matter, everything the main quest, becoming arch mage, leading the companions, the thieves guild, being the listener and killing the emperor....no-one even acknowledges it and it has no notable impact on the world. In oblivion npcs would talk about everything, the news would react to your actions and people would acknowledge that you were the leader (not all but a notable amount) so you felt involved in the world.
Where as skyrim thinks just happen, a dragon can land and you slay it and drain its soul in front of everyone, and they just walk off and ask if you pass the mead.
Oh really? Because in skyrim, if I join the dark brotherhood or the companions the guards acknowledge it and when I join the Thieves guild, I can pay off guards. In oblivion after I saved Count Indarys's son from an oblivion gate and the count gave me a rare family relic, he didn't trust me to buy a house. In the oblivion thieves guild quest, me being arch-mage meant nothing in quest where I had to get the Icestaff. Aryarie still treats me like I'm a nobody in the fighters guild quest, even if I'm arch-mage. In Skyrim, if I kill one or both of Braith's parents, her dialog changes, based on that. In oblivion, how many questlines and quests offer you choices that effect the outcome? None that I can recall, but in Skyrim, you have quests like In My time of Need, where you can side with Saadia or the Redguards and you have the Namira quest and the Dagon quest, which both give you choices. In Oblivion, it's go do the thing, ok you did it or you failed. I think the only quest that ever gave me a choice in oblivion was clavicus vile's quest.
@@jtjumperify Dagon Quest in Skyrim doesn't have any choices. You kill Silus, you get the dagger and you have to fight dremora, you save Silus Dagon sends dremora and you still get the dagger. (Looked it up and I'm surprised that you won't get the dagger if you save Silus, because I'm sure I got the dagger when I saved him the last time I did the quest, maybe it was a bug?)
Out of all the TES games I've played, Oblivion is my favourite. I have indeed played the game as a kid, but back then I just roleplayed in there and barely did any quests, lol.
I then played Skyrim and eventually played Oblivion once again - almost completely blind. And I have been occasionally playing it ever since.
Its derpy nature just adds to its charm.
That was my history with these games too. When I replayed Oblivion after playing Skyrim I found what I missed. As I replay it I noticed so many things I like that Skyrim dismissed. Going back to Skyrim it felt like a disappointment.
@@spartanq7781 Well ojwy guys, let's not go that far, like you knoe, let's not be animals here
Wait till you play the most unforgiving but fulfilling game ever. Morrowind
@@DoppSkates a few years back, when I was playing Skyrim a lot (when I was 14) I tried playing Morrowind. I couldn't get the hang of it so i deleted it. I recently downloaded Morrowind and I enjoy it more than Skyrim, even though I get lost really easily.
@@DoppSkates oblivion>Skyrim>Morrowind
I totally agree with the novelty of NPC dialogue in Oblivion: their simple greeting would be enough to solicit a further investigation into their character (especially the odd "Back off or I'll turn your bones to ASH!" or the like), vs. in Skyrim where they would outright say EVERYTHING they have to offer while your character walks by, as if that's how natural conversation even unfolds (that really took away from the immersion in Skyrim).
Quests were by far the best part of Oblivion, nearly 20 years and 10's of playthroughs after its release and I STILL haven't seen them all, nor explored the expansiveness of the World, vs. Skyrim where essentially every character will eventually do and see everything in the world.
The one up that Skyrim has is definitely combat just for its feel, though the lack of blocking and diversity of spell strategies took away from the full experience.
I know I'm like 2 years late on Commenting, but this video just showed up in my Feed, and I love all the analysis The Cantina has given on one of my favorite (and quite possibly one of the best) games of all time.
I just finished playing Skyrim again and I couldn't agree more. I did everything, went everywhere, met everyone, it's a great game and all but it's just so easy and plain. People complain about combat taking forever in Oblivion but that's what actually makes it exciting to travel and explore, I have to make sure I have enough items before heading out any city when I'm just starting the game, and up to level 10 or so, in Skyrim you regenerate everything so fast that even if you have the game on hard mode, most of the combat is usually a breeze, even if the feel is better, which it is, immensely better, it's just so...boring.
This is subjective but I also kinda hate the way Skyrim looks, some textures are better, but the whole game has this HDR filter that makes everything, specially objects, look dark and dirty, Oblivion is way softer and even if it's outdated it just works better artistically. Oblivion's characters are funky, but even then I prefer them to the lack of variety in facial features that Skyrim has, Oblivion characters had a million different noses, brows, eyes...etc, not to mention it also has way much more height variety, the bosmer are tiny while the high elves are enormous. The fact that you can make crazy and ridiculous looking characters in the character creation proves this point further.
All in all, Oblivion is to Morrowind fans, what Skyrim is to Oblivion ones. It was trying to sell fantasy role playing to the general public, but instead of focusing on having epic battles against powerful beings like Skyrim did, it cranked up the worldbuilding to 11, and in return, it makes the player a million times more engaged and invested in the game. It has countless charming characters and will have you laughing out loud very often, as well as make you feel tense and intrigued, there are very few times where the game isn't exciting, and it's usually only after you put a good amount of hours into it.
I guess, in the end, it comes to preference, and time has shown that Skyrim and even Morrowind just sell a lot more than Oblivion does. But I'm really really thankful a game like this exists, and I wish more people appreciated ridiculous and fun games that don't take themselves awfully seriously. I also really like the fact that [spoilers], even though you're the one who does all the dirty work, Martin is the only one who can defeat Mehrunes Dagon in the end, everyone admires you for aiding him in his sacrifice, and that's so much more refreshing than just "oh wow it turns out I'm THE Dragonborn" right from the start. I just love Oblivion so much, I can't stop comparing it to Skyrim when I play the latter.
I'd agree that Oblivion is my favorite of the series but I wish people nowadays would show Morrowind some more love, it still presents one of the most unique and fascinating game worlds I've ever seen
That's because Michael Kirkbride was writing for its main quest and implementing a lot of lore for the game's universe. Then he got crazy and Bethesda went separate ways.
Am i the only one who would like a re-release of oblivion on the current gen of consoles. Berthesda wouldn't even have to touch it up and I'd still buy it

If Oblivion had a proper controller support, enhanced graphics and a better leveling-system I would still play it to this day.
I used to play this on my xbox 360 back in the day and the graphics amazed me. Also im not sure what you mean about controller support, but yeah the level scaling did kinda suck. It feels like playing the game entirely at level 1 is cheating in a way when it should be harder
@@Siegeholm
On PC, there has been no controller support, so you had to use external software to keybind the controller and it worked not too well.

As someone who's first Elder Scrolls Game is Skyrim, but is currently playing Oblivion, I'm definitely not wearing nostalgia goggles when I say that Oblivion is better.
My first play through I stole Jauffre’s sword early on so therefore he fought the battle of Bruma with his fists and died! 😂😭🤣😭😇
I picked up Jauffre's sword and put it above my fireplace in my character's house after he died in the Battle of Bruma. In honor of Jauffre!
I started playing bgs games with Oblivion. And I miss the experience that I had playing it very much. Best elder scrolls.
I really like BOTH skyrim and oblivion
I like oblivion because of its amazing quests, its colourful setting and the npc
I like skyrim because of the things you can see in the world, the mods, and I think the combat is a bit more realistic
7:06 when I've played oblivion for a while, it gets hard to break the habbit of not pressing e and f5 every two seconds just so I can level acrobatics and not lose any progress if I crash
Oblivion was my entry into the Elder Scrolls games. Still my favorite.
No matter how depressed or anxious I feel The Cantina always makes me smile and remember that there's always a brightside
Absolutely agree with you.
I have played Skyrim before Ovlibion. So I have 0 nostalgia. For me Ovlibion is the best. It's better than Morrowind and Skyrim both, at least for me
The only good thing about Morrowind is that you can't be everything. You're Thief Master, well, you cannot be Warrior leader in one game. Each faction hates others factions. And also, they are some minimuns that you need to have if you want to be the leader. If all of you skills are lower than 50, well, you can't be the leader, doesn't matter wich guild, religion or house
But the problem is that the quest, except a few, are completly... boring. They're forgettable.
@@Frendlu Morrowind's main quest is CRAZY, definetly Nerevarine is one of the TES protagonists with the most OP main enemy (Literally three GODS)
Morrowind has best storytelling, Skyrim has best graphics and combat.
But something about Oblivion, how the AI is just so derpy and funny, and the quest are so entertaining, and the main questline is the best.
Plus Oblivion has better mechanics in general, like spellcrafting.
I hear you. I started on Mass Effect 2 and went from there, but then tried Mass Effect 1 later on and actually liked the story arc better and the character development far more than Mass Effect 2 and 3.
@@Frendlu Not true. You can head the Thieves Guild and Warriors Guild and all other guilds and factions in Morrowind except the Great Houses. There you can only join one. It is totally easy to head everything in Morrowind. No conflict at all. One early quest from the Fighter's Guild that could mess you up in the Thieves Guild is easy to overcome with invisibility spell, sneak and some patience and extra saves. I usually got past that one in less than 5 minutes.
I just started playing oblivion again.... I still love it so much ❤️
This game has one of the most satisfying, relaxing, peaceful town music.
It doesn't count as lost hours if you had fun. I knew one day you would make a Oblivion appreciation video. It is a amazing game. A lot of what made it so is irritatingly removed in Skyrim. Skyrim adds new things but they don't measure up to a lot of what got cut out. You know like the class system and attributes. It makes the game feel as if there from two different series. Elder Scrolls needs to bring back at least half of what made amazing. The way Skyrim should have.
Skyrim’s writing was lacking, and npc’s were boring, you got handed stuff way too easily in Skyrim, guilds went by too quickly and there were so many pointless npc’s that you couldn’t interact with whatsoever, other than clicking on them and hearing them say the same few lines over and over again.
this comment deserves more likes.
True
The skyrim atmospheres make you feel lonely and sometimes boring but then a bunch of npc with the same old line
Omg...... I swear to god, skyrim is easy to broke way faster than oblivion
And the guild quest.. Is just ugh..ugh
Eliwood Nguyen Oh..my..god. Have you read anything about the land of Skyrim before the 2011 game came out? Skyrim was suppose to look “lonely” “dark and violent” “harsh winter” That’s how the Nords are the strongest human race in Elder Scrolls.
@@theacademictaskmaster6481
That doesn't excuse the 2011 game from having dull characters, repetitive dialogue, interchangeable quests, or dumbed down game mechanics. Vvardenfell's environment was far more desolate than Skyrim's, but it was still full of life/personality and had plenty of memorable locations, quests, and characters to interact with.

I'll never deny that Oblivion's NPC dialogue is just *the best* because it is so entertaining. Whether you find that a good thing or a stupid thing, I cannot ever get tired of hearing NPCs talk to each other in that game.

Oblivion is my all time favorite game, I remember when they released the shivering isles dlc and the knights of the nine, i was 4 years old and played this game till this day and I fucking love it
I just saw Oblivion is the best and had to give a thumbs up
Best Diolage in the entire series by far is "Fly in the fly in the cliffracer fly so high!!!!!! " Nothing beats walking around and hearing that for the first time 😂
I'm a year late but I just picked up Oblivion again and I'm having the time of my life, this game is great, there are flaws but at least it has an excuse; with it being made in 2006 this game was so monumental and it still is, I will always come back to this game at least once per year, this is because of all the nostalgia and possibly, all the things I've missed
Cantina dude I love you man, I’ve been subbed for a while now and every time you upload a video I just get excited and watch it as soon as I can. It’s been awesome seeing your channel grow and keep up the great work. Even if it’s just a couple laughs or moments of nostalgia, your videos always make my day a bit better.
When the game was first released, it felt magical. I was left in awe at the beautiful environment and I remember feeling so immersed and terrified when the sky turned red while heading to Kvatch, or into a dark cave.
I will always love Oblivion.
Oblivion is what got me into The Elder Scrolls series. Still one of my favourite games of all time.

Yes, it most certainly is the best one. There wasn't a single questline I didn't like, I loved so many of the characters, and I even cried my eyes out when Martin left. I'll always cherish the time spent playing it.
That was the dirtiest transition into a paid promotion that I have ever seen.
It's 2019 and I'm soon getting Oblivion.. What is my life..?
Great. It is great.
@@pale7606 Try Morrowind.
Oblivion is my favorite game of all time hands down. Just something about the game gripped me for over a decade, it just has such a unique feel to it. I know this game like the back of my hand and it was a decade of play time well spent. Thanks for the memories Bethesda!
I like your editing and comedy. Your videos have the ability to inform and entertain. I like it!
Awesome!! Was waiting for a video like this :)
I can't believe you made an entire Oblivion video without mention its best feature: *mods.*
Can't believe I've never heard of pixel empire! Great video as usual man. Thanks for the content, and that sweet sweet coupon! Haha
I gotta say, that transition to the sponsor ad at the end is the smoothest I've ever seen!
I find myself often going back to Oblivion much more than Skyrim even with Skyrim mods.
The quests and story are awesome, from delving to oblivion gates to becoming a gladiator. I really like it.
That has to be the most amazing transition from video to sponsor advert I've ever seen
Thanks I love your videos man you deserve more subscribers! Keep going!
Let’s be real here, if you had nostalgia goggles, then the videos you made praising the things Skyrim did right would not exist. Likewise, you wouldn’t have made videos critical of certain aspects of Oblivion either.
The Daedra is in the details,
Ya feel me?
But Oblivion looks crappy, also the Sneak sucks and you have no idea were the enemies are coming from.
Je Vader And the Cantina did bring a lot of these criticisms up up in the past. Does Oblivion look crappy? Yes it does even back in 2006. Hell the graphics of Skyrim are a lot better but they’re still lacking by today’s standards as well. I do prefer Skyrim over Oblivion but I do acknowledge the things Oblivion did do better.
Rock Marcus agreed. Yes Oblivion did a few things better than Skyrim, but those few things don’t make it “better” than Skyrim. Not better overall, anyway. Something else I remember from Oblivion, now that I think about it, I don’t think Oblivion had any quest glitches that ruined your save file, and thus any/future save files from then on, forcing you to either keep playing with the game glitched and ruined, load from a previous save, losing hours, days, weeks, or even months of progress, or start a new game/character from scratch. I’d say that was Skyrim’s biggest flaw, now that I think about it. If I started a new game in Oblivion, it was usually bcuz I wanted to and I was bored with my current character at the time. The only reason I ever HAD to start a new game with Oblivion was with my first couple of characters due to the fact that I didn’t know how to level up properly to max out my stats.
@@anonymoussmartass5347 And in Oblivion, you didn't have to go through the starting dungeon all over again every single time you wanted to start a new character. Skyrim really messed up in that department.
Jonathan Szuhai yes you do. Unless I missed something, you still have to go through the starting dungeon followed by the sewer after starting a new character in Oblivion.
God I absolutely love Oblivion, played like millions of hours back in the day, and I still consider it the best in the series and the open world rpg genre, the charm the game has its unparalleled, its just a magical game, and it has the honor of having the best expansion ever made for a game: Shivering Isles; damn I friggin love that place!
I never have time to play anymore... so I watch your videos. It makes me happy.
Brilliant video once again we need more!
I have so many hours in this game over the past decade when i die and my life flashes before my eyes 90% percent of the visons will be of tamriel and i will regret nothing!
Well put good sir!
Two words: Shivering Isles
CHEESEE!
The oblivion vids and that with the scrotum were actually the reason i subbed to you :D
I love that a content creater still plays this game. It's the reason I subbed in the first place
I see that you are a man of culture
Shivering Isles was the best!
Oh my god, that transition into the sponsor at the end was flawless.
Quests in Oblivion are indeed fantastic and combat you mentioned is somewhat bearable. All story arcs throughout all Elder Scrolls games create a unique universe, which is a joy to explore. Bethesda included so many stories in the games that you can feel you've been to Tamriel, when you come to know all about it so well.
I think the combat in oblivion is good you have to block at the right moment and attack at the right moment
Dude , your videos are amazing :D gretings from Argentina
Good to see you back m8
I really love watching these videos. You do such a wonderful job and its really funny. I hope that you have a chance to make more. I watched the most recent ones already! ^^ Hope you are staying safe and well!
That seemless transition
This video is so f***ing right! Oblivion is way better than Skyrim and my most favorite game of all time !
Skyrim taking itself so seriously is it's biggest flaw imo. It really stunted some of the creativity that could've been.
10 out of 10 for that transition to the advertisement lmao 😂🤣
It's you... the hero of Kvatch
To be honest I prefer Skyrim over Oblivion mainly because Skyrim was my first Elder Srolls game and I was hypnotized by its beauty so it has a very special place in my heart I played Oblivion as well and loved it too but it just doest have the charm that skyrim has(in my opinion) but it IS a good game I enjoyed it very much especially the Shivering Isles DLC
I love Oblivion so much. It always held my attention more than Skyrim. I used to live in a house with a big concrete basement and we had a widescreen TV and I would spend hours upon hours playing it down there.
Started playing oblivion today, it’s very nice so far. The combat is nicer than Skyrim’s, and it feels like I have choices
