It isn't nice to assume that anyone who has played Skyrim hasn't played Oblivion or Morrowind. Yes, I did by Skyrim first, but because I'm naturally attracted to Dragons. This peaked my interest into Oblivion and Morrowind. I actually enjoy Oblivion because, in many respects, it reminds me of the days I watched Xena. The Greek/Roman theme suddenly appealed to me much more. I don't worry so much about graphics as I do the storyline. Morrowind has Japanese and Egytpian themes, and I admire Bethesda's research into the history for all of the games.

After researching behind the graphics of Skyrim, I've found that Bethesda actually listened to some of the critiques on the graphics of Oblivion and Morrowind. They changed the rendering software they had and went for higher skeleton capability, as well as distance rendering. Everything down to how snow and wind affect the player and the environment were taken into account. The storyline is lacking for now, but we haven't hit the expansions yet. Oblivion and Morrowind have 2 expansions respectively. They're not done yet. So be patient; there's more to come.

Also, it's wrong to compare Oblivion to Skyrim or Morrowind. Each have their own styles. This is Bethesda's way of creating a new sub-product. I like the battle system in Skyrim compared to Morrowind, because when I first played Morrowind, I couldn't figure out how to aim my weapons. Intuitively, I thought I just face the monster, but apparently I have to make sure the sword actually hits the monster. Morrowind is also by far the hardest game in all of TES. In the end, we have to take each game as another animal entirely. Each has its own theme and set of rules.

If I would complain about anything, it would be Lore continuity. Stick to one! lol
