In a nutshell:
Skyrim:
Looks great
Is not repetitive
Too bright making torches and light spells/staves useless
Loot way too easy to find and predictable
Never get scared
Too linear
Oblivion:
Too repetitive and lacked visual flare
Needed a torch sometimes which was nice for mood and spooky factor
Had places that required thought to reach sometimes
Required exploration to find everything
Once in a while at least Oblivion kind of scared me with a dread zombie kind of sneaking up behind me
Loot was a little too similar (locked chests everywhere & worthless junk)
