I miss horse armour

Ohh Morrowind<3

I promise you they WILL return maybe through my hands or maybe through others

Yeah, I would have rather seen parts of Cyrodil like they did with Morrowind (Vardenfell) and had the Imperial City as dlc like Mournhold.

Or

Maybe they should have made the island that Cyrodil sits on as the main game like Vardenfell, that way they could have made the Imperial City huge.

FOR SKYRIM! i played a nord in oblivion and love my level 46 nord in skyrim i enjoy this game much more. the combat is better, the caracters are better so much so that i started over with a khajiit because they never looked so awesome now my khajiit archer is level 51 and he loves skyrim too.

oh and i think they should remake morrowind. keep it the same story and every other little detail. just reamp the graphics to skyrim style and ill put hundreds of hours into that as well

In before close?

Oh Morrowind. . .

When you'd rather play the game you're bashing over the game that apparently was "way better" you're officially wearing nostalgia goggles.Btw I enjoy Morrowind more than Oblivion, even nowadays.

Also myself.
I didnt like oblivions style of cities,Too boring for my taste
Loved morrowind cities

I can never forgive vanilla oblivion for leveled mobs. Seeing bandits in Daedric armor ruined my game until modders fixed it. I like vanilla skyrim much more.

Frankly, with exception to Imperial City (which WAS awesome), I don't think the cities in Skyrim are much smaller than they were in Oblivion. Besides, I like that each city is more individualized in Skyrim. Every city in Cyrodiil had essentially identical temples. Please don't take my comments as a knock against Oblivion though. I love that game but I'm glad Skyrim is different. It gives me a reason to pop in Oblivion now and then and revisit those places I loved.

Yes.

One thing I never liked in Oblivion was the sheer randomness of enemies wandering around.
A minotaur lord just outside the city gates? And then another 100 yards along etc.
At least in MW and Skyrim theres some context to where you find the creatures.

Oh yeah, why are there no minotaurs in Skyrim[?] ...they were in Pale Pass.

According to wikia (though im not entirely sure of the official stance) is that they were hunted to extinction by alchemists for their valuable horns.

Although unlike Morrowind, I never caught myself saying "Oblivion is too high fantasy", I still much prefer Skyrims enemies. Oblivion was spammed with magical/deadra at the most ridiculous places and made them no fun to encounter. The conjuration & necromancing thing seems a LOT more natural in Skyrim. I really wouldn't know where to place much of Oblivions enemies in Skyrim and still have it feel natural. Like Amazon Queen says, the randomness made it ridiculous. Can't understand why anyone would want this back. Also, I much prefer NEW enemies, in which I think Skyrim performs very well. It was already posted, most Oblivion creatures have a counterpart unique to Skyrim, and that's the way to go imo.

As for "cities", they're on par with what I'd expect from nord settlements in such a harsh environment. I wouldn't have accepted it for the major towns in Hammerfell, not that what I think would matter But in Skyrim, for me, they do the trick and they work. Without proper dialogue system in place, and with the need to control the save games, I don't expect we'll see Daggerfall sized cities in a long while, if ever.

Sabre Cats, and wolves, and bears! OH MY!

You forgot one huge addition that beats all other creatures that none of the other games had, Dragons. This alone in my eyes makes up for a few varied but otherwise lack luster creatures in the other games. The dragon (lots of them) that roams around and is quite random all across Skyrim is a massive and exciting addition to TES. None of the other games had me fighting two dragons at once on top of a snowy mountain top only to be picked up in one smouth and tossed all the way to the bottom to land in a river dead and floating.


I am suprised how many people leave this out of the complaints....

I agree, I miss some of the wonder that oblivion presented. The cities seemed less fabricated and more real. I wish I could provide a better explanation, but the game was just so much more real than skyrim (besides that fact that all the people had baby faces)


Skyrim repeats its self a lot. Npc's are plain and predictable. Give me something I don't expect

^THIS
so easy to do...

The great Minotaur. I never forget the moment I see one. "WTF? A Minotaur? Holy Crap!"

And it's on the side of the road. Those Imperial Legionnaires, always luring us into bandits' way

They Empire won't fall. They'll just remain The Thalmor's [censored]...

am with you op i think the cities in ob were alot better... i thought winterhold was a sick joke. also the inns, each cave is hand crafted and unique yet each inn you go in is pretty much the same all over skyrim...

That's where you're wrong. mods to the rescue!

Holy crap, slow down. Having trouble writing all these enemy types down.

I absolutely loved playing Oblivion, but, and I didn't really appreciate this was so lacking until FO:NV and Skyrim, is it lacks a sense of danger. The Dwemer ruins scared me in the way Ayleid ruins should have, but didn't, even with the brightness down and the prospect of gloom wraiths on a higher difficulty.
