  • I only played Skyrim until about two months ago. I actually got either daggerfall or Morrowind ages ago bundled with a graphics card but never got it working on my machine back then. About 2 months ago, I played oblivion for the first time* and… Mostly enjoyed it. It’s clear Skyrim had a lot of quality-of-life improvements (empty bodies/containers labeled, dungeon runback after completion, lock picking, and some other things) but also did away with some cool stuff (verticality in levels (springheel boots, athletics, acrobatics), meaningful water level bits, ability scores, and more) that I missed a lot going back into Skyrim.

    *I will say I did play through the tutorial of oblivion like 1.5 or 2 years ago and hated it so much I uninstalled. Carry weight and not understanding a number of things made me not like it. I think watching videos of people playing gave me more background on the game, lore, and perhaps most importantly mechanics that made it much more enjoyable. It would not surprise me if other skyrim-only players had similar experience.









  • I had at least one quest which, when certain choices were made, would not complete. They never fixed it, but did release a cash-grab level-cap-increasing version later. Left a bad taste in my mouth. (There were other bugs and issues I faced that also never got fixed, but I don’t recall what they were anymore). I mostly did enjoy the game, otherwise, and the size was fine in my opinion.
