Oblivion is better in every way except for the graphics.

Imho the graphics in Oblivion only fail at mid-range. Terrible stuff!

I have had alot of great memories in Cyrodil. I don't have any great memories of skyrim. I still remember getting to level 10, I was so excited, same with finally getting to the mages guild. I have altitis which helped make those memories special because it took me 1000 characters to get to level 10 and about 100 to get to the mages guild. I wish I could go back to Cyrodil. Too bad my laptop won't let me.

I got to lvl 19 or 20 in skyrim with my one and only char and there was nothing while progressing up the ladder. In OB my main is only lvl 21 and each time i got to the next lvl i felt happy because it took time and effort to do it

Play Obvlion and try to do everything in the game, take your time and try everything (150 hours ish). Then move onto Fallout 3 and play that and take your time. THEN move to Skyrim. Welcome to the elite genre of gaming

Yeah fallout 3 was amazing i did every quest except for the dlc with one char and i have been thinking about going back for a second play through

Oblivion really is something special to me. No other game has had me hooked for five years straight. I have been playing some other stuff too, just to mix it up a bit, but Oblivion has always been my go-to game

Why does it have to be OR Skyrim?! What, are you going to sell your Oblivion disk to get Skyrim? If yes, then do that. I can assure you that Skyrim will bring new things to the table for you, and it's a very popular game which means that its modding community is going to provide you with a lot of mods. In the end of the day though, it's your choice and personal preference.
