Actually it seems Skyrims performence is based on how much space your ps3 has lol. Mine is ok but my friends gets laggy after 20 hrs into game. Erased a few old games and BAM fixed. Bethseda is making patch thoCrono1973 said:

Ways that Oblivion is superior to Skyrim: None
Ways that Morrowind is superior to Oblivion: A great many
This is how we can view it:
Skyrim > Oblivion < Morrowind
Ways that Morrowind is superior to Oblivion: A great many
This is how we can view it:
Skyrim > Oblivion < Morrowind
I'd totally be on board if this was a "Ways Morrowind is better than Skyrim topic" but I thought Oblivion was total shit.
Still deciding if I like Skyrim is better than Morrowind, but for now, it's Morrowind > Skyrim >>>>>>> Oblivion.

Yes because casting fire from the palm of your hand is realistic. Realistic arguments hold no value when talking about a fantasy game.
The realism argument again!
It's smooth, when you open the menu 90% of the time you have to give it a second before you can actually use it (PS3). It may not do that on 360 and PC, I don't know but from my perspective, it isn't smooth.
Also, if all you need to know about is MP, HP and Stamina then the game is really dumbed down. In reality though, when you are carrying too much and need to drop stuff, you need to be able to sort by weight and compare value and weight of several items at once, for example.
It looks like it belongs on the SNES. It's a frame and little more. It's like when Bioware went from attractive menus in Dragon Age to boring ones in Dragon Age II. Sorting alphabetically is pointless, you need to be able to sort by offense, defense, value and weight (like Oblivion). Tell me, is it more helpful to have a 3D look at your sword or a 3D look at your character? I think it is the latter.
lock picking, in my opinion, got a serious downgrade from oblivion, other than that, i can't say a single negative thing about it. job well done bethesda
Yes, when trying to get over mountains I realized what a loss it was that they took out acrobatics. I thought to myself "well, later in the game maybe I can jump higher and get over these" and then I remembered the skill is gone.similar.squirrel said:
Oblivion had:
Dadrea (cause there mint)
Fighters Guild
Dark Brotherhood quest were good
better diolauge options
I like Skyrim, just Oblivion was more intersesting, besides I hate dragons....

Ok to be fair, no the character creator isn't awful. It's not super detailed but it isn't bad. It's better than many other games. Also yes you can see your character when equipping stuff. Third person turn camera around and you can see yourself in the background of the menu. UI is MUCH improved, although only on consoles. The only thing that I liked oblivion for more was that it was funnier, zanier, and took itself less seriously. Oh and less technical bugs, but with bethesda i'm not surprised at all haha. To each his own though.Crono1973 said:
For consoles I think that the Skyrim UI is infinitely better than the UI on any previous Bethesda game. Their are a few negatives; items aren't sorted into categories when in a container and the world map is a little awkward to scroll around on, but the positives outweigh those massively.
Other than that my only gripe is that some skills are far too difficult to level up and some are far too easy; I've been using the hell out of Restoration magic and it's still lagging behind at 25, while all my other magic is approaching 50. On the other hand Conjuration is ridiculously easy to level up, you could easily get it from 20-30 in under a minute.
Everything else I've encountered so far has been tons better than anything I've seen in Oblivion.

Why do people always do this? As soon as a sequel comes out, people hate on it and say the prequel was better. They did the same thing with "Fable 2" and "Fable 3"; everyone complained about how terrible "Fable 2"'s features were, and how the story sucked, but Lionhead listened to what people's problems were and fixed them in the sequel, only to have the EXACT same people, who were complaining earlier, ***** about how terrible "Fable 3" is, and how GREAT "Fable 2" is. What the hell, people!?
The facts are, "Skyrim" is bigger, more interesting, and I enjoy it way more than "Oblivion" - which I didn't even finish the last forty percent of the game, because I was bored, and did not enjoy it.
Why do people have to hate on sequels?
I'm sorry for flying off the handle, but this kind of thing REALLY bugs me... Developers try to make a great game, and people piss all over it, then they try and fix the things most people had a problem with, and suddenly that's not good enough!? Maybe YOU should start making games then, "master".
God, I'm sore about this...

Literally the only thing i can think of right now is that the "hands" system actually takes away from the game. In oblivion, you could have three things at once (a shield, a weapon AND a spell), whereas in skyrim with its much more developed "hands" system, you can only ever do two things at once. If you need to cast heal mid-battle, you best hope you don't REALLY need to heal. Because as it is, you need to go into the favourites, select heal, cast heal, select sword, swing sword. Doesn't sound like much, but that takes a good 2 seconds between each selection (not to mention you can't just go swing happy, because you have to wait another half second to get into the ready stance) and it adds up. When you have some mean-arse hulk of an ice-troll casually taking bits of your brain out with each swing, those extra waisted seconds count... towards your death.
Thats pretty much it though, and although i did go on a bit, it's pretty damn near perfect. Unlike morrowind and oblivion, ive enjoyed playing it for hours on end.
In short, skyrim trumps oblivion on damn near everything in my opinion.

You don't need dragons to do any of those things and why is it that you think that dragons are the be all, end all of enemies? Maybe I have been playing video games too long but I just can't be impressed because they made dragons for this game. What do dragons do in this game that we haven't seen before in other games? Those shouts are just relabeled magic powers, for example, that first set of shouts lets you do a force push. It's fun, it was fun in Lego Star Wars too but it's nothing new.poiumty said:
Don't get me wrong, I didn't expect originality in Skyrim so it doesn't bother me that dragons don't do anything we haven't seen before in other games but I can't understand why everyone acts like they are the second coming of Christ.
There have been so many topics praising Skyrim since it came out on this forum, why is it that the opposite view can't be spoken? BTW, I don't hate Skyrim but I think there were some things Oblivion did better. Does it hurt your pride that I am not pissing myself over Skyrim?Spanishax said:
Right well let's take it point by point.Crono1973 said:
1) Athletics and acrobatics really broke the game even back in Morrowind, without them designers were able to create more interesting looking dungeons without the need of putting large walls in most sections just because "Hey a play can jump-get there".
2) Do elaborate since I have no idea what you are talking about.
3) Apples and Bannanas, as you say in a later point. It's designed for looks and some people like it and some people do not. I'm quite happy with how it looks.
4) Fair point there, it is quite annoying but I do not see a reason to get up in arms about it since it will be modded out soon enough
5) Sorry, but you buy it on an inferior gaming platform you are going to get an inferior experience. I'm not trying to take a swing at a console gamers, hell I even have three of the modern bastards sitting right under my TV.
But I will never use them for anything else then a console exclusive. Sorry but they do not perform well at all, they are bloody OLD and you have to accept that the games on them will not run good at all. The graphics on the computer on the other hand are quite good. Even better with the recent mod

But in the end it comes down to personal preference. And everyone is entitled to his own.
