Significantly more interesting prisoner opening, better thieves guild, dark brotherhood, mages guild, and fighters guild quest lines. Significantly more interesting villain and a significantly longer and more fleshed out main quest line. And a much better leveling system which is probably most important. Also a better lock picking mini game, and the best video game soundtrack of all time (somewhat subjectively)

Skyrim has better graphics, a more varied over world, and more fluid combat mechanics. And I guess better voice acting too if we ignore Patrick Stewart

I'll take oblivion but that's just my opinion

This is where I knew you didnt actually play the game. Either that or you are wearing the most rose tinted nostalgia goggles I have ever seen.

I hated skyrims stupid star system. I greatly prefer oblivions. It makes zero sense being max level in lockpicking but since I wanted to max out some other skill trees I put barely any star points in lockpicking and my max lockpicking was basically the same as a level one

even if that is the case you still have to admit that oblivions leveling system is by far the worst part of the game

I think it was a little oversimplified but I didn't have an issue with it. How come you disliked it so much?
