Patrick Stewart was definitely the best part of Oblivion because he was the only part that was good.

LoL is much better than Skyrim because in the second game you actually ride a dragon.
Haven't played LoL the second, I'm speaking of the first.

I'm not saying it was bad, quite the contrary, but the atmosphere, music and visuals were the only things going for this game.

Combat was shit, interface was popamole (literally), mechanics was as bare bones as physically possible and, well, there's no 'and' as that about sums the stuff in game. Ok, bonus points for interacting with the environment using spells and throwing shit around.

Still, any FPS game would pass as highbrow tactical game in comparison and Skyrim is both much better game and much better RPG.

Edit:
Not oblivion, though - ok, it's a better RPG but man, does it suck as both a game and an experience.
