Maybe the Oblivion intro feels more memorable because the rest of the games was such a step down from Morrowind in a lot of ways. Skyrim, for all its continued dumbing down of Elder Scrolls, was a well made fun game. And you got to be the main character again!
I actually love Oblivion for the reason you are NOT the main chosen one character. Oblivion’s people love you regardless, while they treat you like a fetchdog in Skyrim.
Oblivion’s curse is the broken leveling system.
Idk, Skyrim seemed like a fun house opening. With big things coming at us we know won’t kill us. In Oblivion, we are greeted by the fucken emperor, and he wants to talk to US, a prisoner, and then he hero’s journeyed us into importance. It just seemed a lot more impactful than Skyrim’s.
You mean more memorable than nearly getting executed and having to escape a dragon attack?
Yeah, not really. And I’ve played both.
Even this should tell you enough:
I think people just give Skyrim a lot more hate because it’s been the last in the series for so, so long.
Oblivion was probably the #2 most memorable intro/tutorial of its’ rough time period to me. #1 is stealing a bike in an alleyway.
Ah shit, here we go again.
All we had to do, was follow the damn train, CJ!

Oh god, that leveling system is abysmal isn’t it?
I found that to be successful I had to primarily focus my main skills in silly shit I could easily level.
All hail the master of jumping and unarmed combat, defeater of dremora lords!

That didn’t load for me so I’m going to pretend it was the macho man Randy Savage dragon mod.
