I haven't played Morrowind or any of TES games before it but I started with Oblivion and it was one of the best games I've ever played. The DLC is amazing but you can't play it if you're not connected to Live, sorry I'm xbox console. The leveling system is bad as everyone else has said but it was a challenge I accepted, especially if you level up a lot before finishing the main questline and you try closing oblivion gates. Its interesting to see how you'd overcome that challenge. I eventually fully enchanted a set of armor to shield 100% of damage I took or I did the same thing but for chameleon enchantment and I was never seen ha. The environment is amazing I think.

@Dasvildanya Roman culture is based on the cultures of all the ones it conquered so the cities looking midieval is justified. The Imperial Legion's armor reflects Rome well I think. The only thing that should above all else look Roman would be the Imperial City but it was Aeylid before it was Imperial wasn't it? So once again, conquered culture. And I thought the voice actors were SO much better in oblivion, in Skyrim I recognize every single voice and I can't go 10 minutes without hearing 7 different characters use the same 3 voices practically. And this was just my opinion.

Anyway, Oblivion is a MUST play game. I just purchased Morrowind and am looking forward to playing another game in an amazing series. I will eventually play them all. Oblivion won the same awards Skyrim did if that helps also. And this is in no way a vintage game.
