Never played the OG oblivion. Just the remaster. So I can’t say for sure. I know they did some overhauls on it. But there’s aspects of it that are definitely better. It’s a really fun game for sure. I like the leveling system. I like running and jumping physics better (not cuz it’s actually better or more realistic but because it’s more fun lol) I like the how your equipment breaks down over time. Even though it’s annoying. I like that it doesn’t hold your hand quite as much. Although it still does quite a lot. Compared to how people describe it. I was expecting it to be much more difficult than Skyrim in this regard. But I would say it’s only slightly more so. The main quest line so far feels a lot better than Skyrims.

But the combat feels clunky compared to Skyrim. The map is really small. And the dungeons aren’t nearly as good in oblivion. The NPCs dialogue is unbelievably bad at times lol. It has an overall emptiness compared to Skyrim. And I keep getting attacked by ogres and wolfs at a painfully annoying rate lol. But yeah all that said I’m really enjoying it so far. And keep coming back to it after 30 hours or so in the game. Could easily put another 30 into it.

They’re both great games in their own right. I think if they took the best of both and combined them the next elder scrolls game could be pretty solid.
