I totally agree with you Danny. I still remember the enjoyment I got from people saying things such as “It’s you! The hero of Kvatch!” in Oblivion.
I also felt that Oblivion had more interesting characters and quests, and a greater sense of urgency than Skyrim. Oblivion’s spectacular setting, UI and music were highlights too.
Although Skyrim is a technically superior game, it seemed to lack the charm that Oblivion had.
One of my favorite features of the old GameSpot site was the ordered list of all the games I had rated (with the ratings I gave them). I can't find this feature anymore - is it gone?
@ChiefFreeman Indeed. I love Greg's Elder Scrolls: Oblivion video review in particular because he convinced me to buy a game from a genre that I wasn't familiar with and I ended up enjoying it.
