Skyrim has been out for quite a while now and I'm curious as of which one you preferred more? Skyrim or Oblivion?

Please only vote if you have played both. I still love Oblivion more.

I'll duplicate what I wrote in a different thread: (but I preferred Skyrim)

Good question, I don't remember too much about Oblivion except the final Daedra quests which I found way too difficult slash more like a Doom or Quake setting. I guess you can say that I played through Oblivion without really ever being drawn into the story. Before Oblivion I'd played Fallout 3 and to me it was 'better'. So many similarities between the two though.

I guess that as I type this I find myself liking Skyrim more but Skyrim was way too easy and the companions were always barging into fights rather than hanging back and backing me up. Ditched Lydia after a while and played solo. NPCs were annoying as ever and why do the guards ask me stuff but can't engage in a conversation.. Perhaps I would feel like enchanting some random guards sword. I mean, they kept whining about it so why not if it'd shut them up hahaa

I would also really have liked it if they had a quest after defeating Alduin. First off: you've just saved the world but no one cares and secondly there was no real conclusion to the aftermath of a civil war.

I could keep writing walls of text but no one will read it :)

I couldn't get into Oblivion... felt like I got maybe 4 hours of actual fun out of the 10+ hours I tried playing it. Like I had to work at squeezing the fun out of it or something.

In contrast, Skyrim pretty well had me nailed to the chair from the start. I rented it for PS3 just because I was afraid it was going to be Oblivion 2... but played it for like 8 hours straight and bought it on PC the next day, heh. They really improved the pacing and accessibility of the game over Oblivion, IMO.

Plus: Steam Workshop! (I need to mess around with that still...)

Oblivion made better impression on me too. I find Skyrim pretty much the same except you have Dragons here, and Oblivion was way harder for me. I like Skyrim much and all that but from the rumors before the game came out I thought it will have some pretty new neat things.

I will always read Yeti if you want to write a comparison essay haha. It's an even 3-3 on the votes so far.

Skyrim, Oblivion didn't really draw me in at all and I used mods to raise the difficulty so Skyrim wasn't too easy

Oblivion. The Dark Brotherhood quest was so much better there. It feels like they lowered the difficulty of the game (Skyrim) to have a better mass appeal. It just doesn't really have that RPG feel like the previous Elder Scrolls.

Addice said: Oblivion. The Dark Brotherhood quest was so much better there. It feels like they lowered the difficulty of the game (Skyrim) to have a better mass appeal. It just doesn't really have that RPG feel like the previous Elder Scrolls.

I definitely agree with the difficulty on Skyrim. Skyrim felt a lot easier and more commercial than Oblivion.

Oblivion, the overall feeling it had was immense compared to Skyrim.. although the racial textures kinda sucked. But boss above boss as we say in the Netherlands... Morrowind owns all.

Skyrim is 3 times better then oblivion got more quests and 3 time better graphic

^Graphics doesnt mean better gameplay, I enjoyed Oblivion ALOT more than Skyrim. But thats just my personal opinion :).

Skyrim best!

Skyrim was not as good as I thought it would be guess thats what you get when its ported from a console

I love Skyrim bust still prefer Oblivion...

^+1 Internet for you, Oblivion kicks ass especially the Shivering Isles expansion!
