Dawnguard and Dragonborn just added so much more than the nights of the nine and the shivering isles. Oh, and Skyrim by far had much better DLCs. The full map thus has an area of about 37.1 km² (14.3 square miles). The engine uses the same cell size as in Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas - 57.6 metres (63 yards) to the side, 3317.76 m² (3 969 square yards) of area. You could also use crafting skills to make money. Skyrims heightmap is rectangular and uses 119 x 94 11186 in-game 'cells'. The Companions and College of winterhold were well crafted and much better, and the Dark Brotherhood in Skyrim as well as the thieves guild (at points) give Oblivion a run for it's money. The Mages Guild and Fighters guild both had me snoring in Oblivion, but the Dark brotherhood and Thieves guild were awesome. Skyrim has better gear customization (enchanting and improvements) smithing, better alchemy and enchanting, better dungeons, better sneak, much more class flexibility (you just choose what you want to be and stick with it, better perk system, and better quest lines. Oblivion has better individual quests, good combat, classes, many more spells and a decent story.

Like the leveling system and faces in Oblivion and the lack of interesting quests amongst many other things in Skyrim.

If you want a game were you explore and admire the landscape then Skyrim is for you, if you want a more story-focused game with a more intricate world then Oblivion is better.īoth needs mods to get rid of annoying and bad things. Skyrim has better dungeons, world and of course graphics. Oblivion has better quests, characters, dialogues and some other things.
