I never really used alchemy in Oblivion, I used it in Morrowind when I was in the wilderness and out of a potion I needed, while I liked and used smithing in Skyrim. The only thing Skyrim really did that was good (IMO) was the smithing. The manual says that you shouldn't put stuff into a container you don't. My reply was: The main reason that I own a house is for storage. He wondered if it was worthwhile to go broke in the process.

While Oblivion removed a lot of RPG elements, it still kept some and it was really cool seeing how different you are from when you started when you're able to run twice as fast, jump rediculously high, two things which Skyrim completly removed and helped a TON in Morrowind and Oblivion. On one of the mailing lists I subscribe to, a fellow Oblivion player noted that he had built up just enough gold to buy a house.

While in Oblivion I really liked the Dark Brotherhood, a lot of the thieves guild members, some of the fighter's guild, and Baurus from the main story. I liked a few Telvanni house members, but otherwise I didn't care for anyone in Morrowind. While with the NPCs I really felt in a lot of ways were superior to Morrowind's. Morrowind had a few fetch quests too though the main difference being that you had to look around to find the item and it was usually a bit more complicated than just running in and taking it (besides the cube).Ī lot of the forests felt the same yeah, but at least for me it was interesting running through them to see what forts or whatever you'd find. While pretty much every single skyrim quest involves you going to a new area to kill a bunch of things, sometimes taking an item. Oblivion barely had any fetch quests and had some very amazing unique ones like Whodunnit. In Oblivion, all the characters, towns and landscape feel the same. Both feel more dead than Morrowind, but in a slightly different way. The quests feel the same and you're still hunting map markers and fetching some things or killing some end bosses in generic dungeons. I think this was exactly the case in Oblivion as well. Originally posted by Damuel:Skyrim removed a ton of RPG elements, dumbed down quests to the equivalent of common day knock off mmos, and the world was pretty dead, from the towns, to the npcs, to the very wilds.
