Amazon is having a sale on these two games, and I was wondering if I should get skyrim for $39.99 or oblivion GOTY for $12.50.

P.S. I haven't played any TES game before but I did enjoy Fallout: New Vegas a lot.

For that price? Oblivion GOTY. Even if you just play Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles, it's worth it. Throw in the four excellent questlines, and theres plenty of bang for the buck.

I would go with Oblivion GOTY. By the time you are done playing through vanilla OB, KOTN, and SI, there might be a Skyrim GOTY out with all of its dlc. Then you can get that all in one bundle as well. It might be cheaper too.

I think Oblivion Goty is a better experience than Skyrim vanilla. And from a graphics perspective it's also better to play the older one first

Thanks for the replies, I wasn't reallysure whether oblivion was worth it or not because its an older game but now I think I'll buy oblivion.
