Maybe there is a difference between Oblivion on pc vs. ps3 console ? When I first started Oblivion, I thought it was the greatest game ever. I liked the simple, small ' dungeons ; presented by ruined keeps and so on. I liked the style of the ancient ruins. Then  some gamer friends turned me on to Skyrim. I was completely blown away. The graphics, the smoothness, the kill scenes, I felt it was a mega-leap forward. But I kept hearing people on this site saying they liked Oblivion better, so I went back to try it... Just. Can't. Do. It. No. I got killed like 20 times the first cave I tried to go into. It was so SLOW !!! And I can't handle the ' talking head ' shop keepers. Oh, and that verdammte bartering system ! I just wanted to tear my hair out.

I did like the story in Oblivion. Not better, necessarily, but different and cool. I liked rolling into a ruined city just after a Gate opened up, and doing battle with the Dremora.( I've only ever encountered Dremora inside Azura's Star so far in Skyrim.) I DON'T like some of the overly long, illogical dungeons you are forced to go through on many quests in Skyrim, with the predictable ' Boss Battle ' at the end, with the big chest with inevitably HEAVIER THAN SH*T loot that you cannot possibly carry out. ( Dwarven Armor ? NOW ??? Arrrrrrgggghhhhh !!!  Iron Warhammers ? Please, gods, NOoooooo !!! ) Couldn't we have a SkyBlivionElsweyr with the awesome modern graphics, etc ?
