I'll certainly go back to Oblivion as I have a great in-progress game going that I'll want to finish. Memes about the City Guard, games funny faces and facial animations, Adoring Fan mutilation, Shegoraths obsession with cheese wheels and others.

Followers are also greatly improved, which is important to me since I always have one. Stop right there, criminal scum You violated my mother This sub talks about funny and silly shit that happens in the Oblivion game. Skyrim's character creation is also vastly improved over it's predecessor, and character creation is of foremost importance to me in a game as I'm unlikely to play any game that doesn't have such a feature. The only time in Oblivion that I experience the same level of immersion is when exploring Aylied ruins. There is a gritty realism which makes the experience highly immersive. So why have I gone back to Skyrim? Immersion and character creation. Delphine, Esbern, and Arngier serve their purpose, but fall short of what Oblivion offers. There are no parallels to this in Skyrim. Then you spend the rest of the quest working with Martin Septim, a charismatic leader that makes you want to follow him. See one dungeon youve pretty much seen em all. The fault of the game is that while theres a lot to explore, its all very much the same.

I personally had more fun with the character creator than the actual game. The use of magic is so vastly superior in Oblivion that now that I've experienced it, I could never again play a mage in Skyrim.

If you prefer being a mage, then it's overwhelmingly Oblivion, and that's where Oblivion tips the scales.

I would say that if you prefer melee fighting and archery, you'll prefer Skyrim. Each game does some things better than the other. It's hard for me to say which game I prefer the most: Skyrim or Oblivion.
