I do agree that

Dragons >>>> Oblivion Gates >>>>>>>>> Cliff Racers

But there is still something very generic and annoying about the non story dragons. They still annoy like cliff racers, and by level 25 you won't even want their loot.

How did I know it was going to be anti-Skyrim before I even read it..

Oh, I forgot to add something in my list.
Daedric quests. I must say, those are way better than the ones in Oblivion. Usually.

Spoiler

Sanguine's A Night to Remember was awesome, real funny stuff. His in Oblivion was great too, but this one beats it. Skyrim wins.
Sheo's Mind of Madness was cool, but nothing beats burning dogs. Oblivion wins.
Azura's was much, much better in Skyrim. Seriously, clearing a lair of vampires compared to the choice of the Black and the Azura star and a fun Necromancer lair, easy choice. Skyrim wins.
Mephala's was much better in Oblivion. Pitting the Dunmer and the Nord family against each others were priceless. Oblivion wins.
Boethia's I'm a bit unsure of. The Tournament of Ten Bloods VS the follower sacrifice... I think Skyrim wins here.
Malacath's was much fun in Oblivion, making the Lords the slaves of the Ogres. Oblivion wins.
Pyrite's showed more of his lore in Skyrim, and generally had a better dungeoncrawl than Oblivions quest. Skyrim wins.
Hermaeus Mora's had almost the same quest for both, collecting blood from different races. But Skyrims had more of a twist, but also tied it into the MQ so... I think Oblivion wins.
Meridia's had almost the same quest for both games, but Skyrims was more unique and cool. Skyrim wins.
Clavicus Vile's was okay in both games, a boss and a choice of reward. But Skyrim's had a better introduction and more of a twist. Skyrim wins.
Hircine's was much better in Skyrim than in Oblivion. Participating in the Hunt, either on the Hunter side or the Beast side was a fun twist, with different rewards. Much better than Oblivion's Unicorn hunt anyway. Skyrim wins.
Mehrunes Dagon had none in Oblivion, being the main antogonist and all, therefore making Skyrim's better. Unearthing Mehrunes Razor doesn't count I think. Skyrim wins.
Molag Bal's House of Horrors with torture was more fun than Oblivion's "corrupt a pure soul" thingy, though I liked that one too. Skyrim wins.
Namira's A Taste of Death, allowing you to be a dark servant of Namira was way better than Oblivion's "Kill those priests with torches" quest. Skyrim wins.
Nocturnal had no quest in Skyrim, being a central role in the Thieves Guild. TG doesn't count I think. Oblivion wins.
Vaermina's was superior in Skyrim I think. With how you went through the dungeon, and how you could choose that to do in the end. Skyrim wins.

So, from this I got:
Skyrim: 11
Oblivion: 5

But what is worth to mention, is that Skyrim's quests are much better introduced. Instead of willingy going to a shrine and pray, you just happen to pass somewhere and get dragged into it. The madman of Solitude, the Vigilant of Markarth, Barbas, the rumours of nightmares... This is a very big plus in my book.

How do I put somethin in spoiler ?

Anyway you are right there at Deadric quests now that you remind me of them all
but Sanguine one was pain in ass for me..it was just travelling from point A to B but I guess coz I accidently readed(lol I dont know past word for read xD) everything in that mission so it wasnt fun :/

Anyway I am starting again as an assassin and hope to better explore world this time and maybe try to understand it better but anyway thanks for not trashing my review guys

Hmm... Stigwa I agree with all but maybe Vaermina... as I recall the Oblivion one was rather cool with all that nightmare world. Still, the Skyrim one has a better story I suppose.

Sigh, another generic SKyrim svcks thread. Seriously, these are getting really old
