have jump on the Elder Scrolls bandwagon since Morrowind , I have love each and every game since . oblivion be a masterpiece and skyrim improve upon the formulum that Oblivion start . First of all , if you like Oblivion , then you should like this game because Skyrim be better on all level . while there be no massive groundbreaking change , every facet of the game have be improve upon in some manner . graphic be nicer , npc 's be more intelligent , the world be more expansive and beautiful , side quest be MUCH more interesting , and most of all , there be freak dragon that you can fight ! in oblivion , travel get to be a pain sometimes because you be constantly attack by lame creature . in Skyrim , the developer obviously tone this down so that when you travel , for the most part you be unhindered , which really give it a more realistic feel . dungeon in this game also have a unique feel to they , unlike oblivion where they all start to bleed together after a few hour . this game really do a great job of blend some aspect of fallout3 as well . note here only the good aspect such as finish combat move and the lock picking . when I play through oblivion , the main quest be all I be really interested in , the side quest be rather mundane . however , in Skyrim I have spend more time with the side quest than the main one just because of the interesting chain of event that many of they have unleash . as a gamer who enjoy longevity in he game , this aspect be fantastic . overall , I would say that if you like role playing game , this be a must buy ! also as a postscript , I can not believe anyone would give this game 1 star ! especially anyone who have play and enjoy oblivion . there be not much difference between the two , and the difference that exist be all for the better in Skyrim .
