Skyrim is worse than Oblivion in every way

Forced 3rd person killcams ruined Skyrim for me, for such an intrusive thing to have no toggle despite all the remasters is unforgivable.
I absolutely fucking hate the killcams too.
I have had so many instances where I snuck up on a group with the intent of quickly eliminating all of them with an ambush...
Only to get locked into a killcam that lets all of them get ample time to notice me and counterattack...
And in heavily modded playthroughs, you're probably dead by the time you regain control.

That said, there is a mod called VioLens, that lets you configure them to a high degree.

Probably the only genuine improvement in Skyrim over Oblivion gameplay wise is horse combat. And I like that the magic system went back to the Morrowind style of "equipping" spells in your hands rather than pressing the magical "cast" button like in Oblivion, with a few interesting gameplay possibilities like sword and spell or dual-casting spells.

But outside of those minor things, Skyrim is just the absolute worst.

Talk as much shit about Oblivion as you want (it definitely deserves it), gameplay wise it still had most of the rpg systems from Morrowind, with various levels of complexity removed. Skyrim is just completely and totally devoid of gameplay entirely except for the extremely lackluster combat, to the point where you literally have to have brain damage in order to enjoy it for more than a few days before getting bored.

Oblivion at least made bare minimum attempts to be an RPG. Any sense of immersion or roleplay was stripped from Skyrim completely.

I'll never forget leaving Helgen and going to Riverwood waiting for the class selection screen to pop up.
I made it to Whiterun when I finally realized it wasn't happening.
