Skyrim has more quests it seems, but the quality of them seem to be lower.

The key to this problem seems to stem from the quantity vs quality debate. OblivionВ feels like it has soВ much more to offer). Where Oblivion has side quests that involve unraveling GlarthirвЂ™s conspiracy in Skingrad and reuniting long-lost twins (Jen: вЂњI am sick and tired, tired and sick, and perhaps a little drunkвЂќ), Skyrim doesnвЂ™t seem to have the same equivalents despite having more side quests to complete (Jen: It surprises me that this is true. Even so, SkyrimВ still feels more empty to me. ItвЂ™s difficult to find an adequate comparison for the worlds of Oblivion and Skyrim, but based on what I could find, their maps are roughly the same size. Regardless, I have to stand by my opinion that Oblivion is a better game. With the right mods, you can achieve near-realism. Skyrim is a far more technically impressive game, and the Special Edition makes it look even better. Both give the player a high level of freedom to choose stories to pursue, feature deep customization options, eschew the traiditional RPG mechanics in favor of allowing players to use equipment and skills as they see fit, and feature massive open worlds to explore. After all, on the surface, Skyrim and Oblivion are similar in many ways. ItвЂ™s hard to pin down what it was that drew me into Oblivion so deeply (Jen: How about all the amazingness it offers? Duh). It isnвЂ™t perfect, but it sure is a great game. ItвЂ™s the only game that Jennifer has finished completely, and IвЂ™ve sunk hundreds of hours into playing it. ItвЂ™s a technical disaster on consoles, with horrific framerates, muddy textures, and stiff character animations.В Still, itвЂ™s impossible for me to not love it.

For instance, I absolutely love the original Half-Life, but it is not a pretty game.В Similarly, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is kinda a mess ( Jen: I cannotВ believe you went there.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has not aged well.
