User blog comment:Draevan13/Thoughts on TES IV: Oblivion./@comment-5308644-20130306171157

I've been playing TES games since Daggerfall, and quite frankly I've enjoyed all four of the games that I've played tremendously. Morrowind remains my favorite (for nostalgic reasons - it was one hell of an experience for me at the time it was released), but I'd rank Oblivion very close to Skyrim.

The "lore rape" comment was amusing, but it definitely was not a game-breaking flaw to me.

I think that all RPGs are generic to a certain degree. In some regards I feel like I'm still playing the same game that I was playing 20 years ago. Virtually everything has improved, but the basic underlying structures remain the same. Quests still boil down to the same handful of categories that they did decades ago, and the same can be said for many other aspects of games. To say Oblivion was generic but Skyrim wasn't or vice-versa is pretty silly to me.
