While I agree with most of what he says, I disagree with his assessment of Oblivion. It's my favorite of the series, but only because Morrowind had a terrible combast system. If it didn't, I would prefer it. While I'm in it for the immersion, you'll be in combat for most of the game, and if it's bad, you'll notice it a lot.

And I don't find Oblivion "standard", not at all. Delving through mystical gates into the depths of Hell, battling minotaurs, dreughs and walking trees in the woods and cat and lizard people in the cities? That's is not "standard", it's fantasy. It's awesome. But he's entitled to his opinion. My ranking goes:

1: Oblivion

2: Morrowind (because of it's awful combat system)

3: Skyrim (because it's to dumbed down way too much in comparison it's predecessors)
