Is oblivion still a better game than Skyrim?

To be serious for a minute here. I did liked that oblivion was green,i am sucker for green biomes in games. Shivering isles is a plus.

You have to play as redguard to get the full effect though.
Stop.
Nah, he's right.
Playing Requiem is definitely fun - except for the lulzy apocalyptic bow damage. You start out so weak that even wolves become formidable opponents.
And it takes a while to become stronger. IIRC, it also removes or severely turns down level scaling.
And that early to mid game - in a manner similar to Kingdom Come, btw - is really enjoyable.
In vanilla Oblivion and Skyrim you just own everything everywhere all the time, which is incredibly boring.

Retard. He has two other videos about why both Skyrim and Morrowind are also the best.

That does make him even more retarded. I was laughing my ass watching this shit. I came by it totally random and don't even know who that guy is.

He's a relatively well known CS:GO youtuber.
There's your kosher opinion, dumb fag. It's just a sort of retrospective series as to why he likes all 3 3D TES games.

This is the best answer, but the question in the topic of the thread is good, so I'll analyze deeper.
Both Oblivion and Skyrim have the exact same premise, which is "being baby's first RPG set in the most generic renaissance fair amusement park imaginable".
This is completely different from the premise of Morrowind, which is "you're on an alien planet now. good luck".
Oblivion is of course way better than Skyrim, because at least some of the quests are well written. The Dark Brotherhood quest in Oblivion is really good. The problem is that the quest has nothing to do whatsoever with RPG gameplay, you move from location to location and the quest progresses, with zero C&C whatsoever. The better parts of Oblivion play like a visual novel. And of course, the main quests both in Oblivion and Skyrim are ridiculously bad, they're literally as bad as the main quests in PoE II: Deadfire or Pathfinder: WotR, it's uncannily bad (chat GPT could generate 1,000s of better main quest concepts than these). Meanwhile, Morrowind's main quest is perfectly fine, and conceptually engaging in many ways.
In the end, playing Oblivion is like fucking a ladyboy while on vacation in Thailand, playing Skyrim is like meeting a guy off Craigslist so that he fucks you in the ass. Both of these are gay as fuck, but one of them would be way harder to explain to your friends.

In Skyrim leveling up makes you better so if nothing else it doesn't fail at one of the core premises of attempting the pretension of being an RPG.

Skyrim pros compared to Oblivion (keep in mind they're both trash games):
+ The Civil War and Dawnguard quest lines can be played from either side, whereas Oblivion quest lines always happen the exact same way.
+ The open world is handcrafted instead of just computer-generated hills with a bunch of trees slapped on.
+ The level scaling is much less egregious, and it doesn't feel like you have to min-max just to keep up with the world.
+ Lycanthropy makes a return to the series.
+ Plants visibly change so you can tell when they're harvestable (this is extremely minor but I felt like mentioning it somewhere).
Skyrim cons compared to Oblivion:
- Magic has been gutted, including the outright removal of spellcrafting.
- Character-building no longer exists, as classes, attributes, and major/minor skills were all removed.
- Dungeon design is insultingly simplistic.
- Being a werewolf fucking sucks, and it's forced upon the player if he wants to complete the Companions quest line.
- The writing is noticeably worse (this deserves an essay, but tl;dr everything is just adolescent power fantasy instead of trying to tell an interesting story).
- Dragon fights fucking suck, and they're way less avoidable than Oblivion Gates.

This is actually a con, but apart from that sure, I'd also argue that Shivering Isles shits all over Skyrim DLCs and manages to redeem the horse armor bullshittery. Irregardless, Oblivion is still the better game and RPG thoughever, and I don't understand how someone can prefer Skyrim over it.
I actually replayed Oblivion a while back, there is a charm to Cyrodil, running around the lush fields with a top tier soundtrack. I never went back to Skyrim.

I would've voted if the poll just listed game names. Exclude your retarded opinion/description and I might vote Oblivion. Cause it's the only wholesome game out of 3.

Both are bad games but Skyrim is slightly better.
Oblivion has better side quests and more RPG mechanics and that's pretty much everything it does better.
Also leveling system in Oblivion is horrendous which alone makes the game pretty much unplayable.
Skyrim has far better world and dungeons. Which in a game that is all about exploration is pretty big deal.
Oblivion is easily the worst Bethesda game ever made and people who defend it are delusional.
