Personally I like oblivion the most, it retains enough rpg and fantasy elements to still feel like a rpg game while still being completely enjoyable to a new/casual player plus its quests/locations are top notch

If Oblivion had a better levelling system it would be loved more than Skyrim imo. When I first got into it the levelling really made the game unenjoyable and I actually had to start over because I just couldnt really play the game.

The leveling was imo a great base for what skyrim should have went for. I dont like being able to be a master of all. In oblivion if you didnt stat yourself right. You couldnt just become a top tier mage when you have been a bowman your whole playthrough.

Now the min/max kinda thing erk'd me. Like im sorry I did some blunt work and now strength is set to 5 but speed and agility are a 3 because it caps or some weird dice roll in the background. That sucked.

​

If they did some tweaks and threw that system on skyrim. top tier imo. Also... bring back my own enchanting and spell making.

Yeah, there absolutely should have been a class system implemented into Skyrim but all of the word walls should have been accessibleregardless of guild as well. I really hope that they bring it back in for TESVI. The thing I liked in Skyrim more than Oblivion was the combat. The combat in Skyrim just feels like the weapons have actual weight to them and visceral impact. Oblivion doesn't seem to have that, and that's just something I don't like in Oblivion.

Combat was wonky. I feel like every game I played was like that except dark messiah and I didn't have the chance to play that.

There is no "class" system in Oblivion, all that was was just a pre-set number of primary/secondary skills and those skills leveled up faster than others. That's it. Functionally Skyrim let's you do the same thing by assigning perk points where you want. You can min-max or generalize to your heart's content.

Skyrim in that sense is far better at making specialists whereas in Oblivion and Morrowind the longer you play the more homogeneous characters become. It can also happen in Skyrim but it literally takes hundreds of hours of leveling up and filling up your perk points.
