I think that Oblivion is considerably better the Skyrim in almost every aspect. I'm going to be murdered for that There are a few things that I do think Skyrim got better though, like making orcs not look like Shrek. But just about everything in Oblivion was more enjoyable to me.

Oblivion just feels so bland and kitsch-y to me, that’s what puts me off. It’s the most vanilla fantasy world possible, combined with the plasticine-and-plastic graphics and Gamebryo’s
delightful physics and animations. I would honestly like to explore the world, but the whole aesthetic of the game just repulses me.

I might try them again with Mods and also try out that mod Skywind, which hopefully should be out soon. But for now. I'm happy just playing Skyrim.

Mods weren’t enough for me to like Oblivion. None of them seem as impressive as what people add to Skyrim.
The folks who are making Skywind are also working on a port of Oblivion to the Skyrim engine. If they do it right, I might be tempted, but as it is I’ll just be sticking with Skyrim.

One of the things that always comes to mind, while it's only a small, minor complaint, is that the Argonians sounded way too normal. In Oblivion, the race had their own unique voice that definitely sounded like a mouth trying to speak a language not built for it. I also much much prefer the Oblivion plot over Skyrim's.
That being said, I still revisit Skyrim more. Why? Mods.

Semi-related, but I always end up playing as a Khajiit because of
this wonderful mod that changes all the Player dialogue options to match Khajiit dialect. Turns out Khajiit are sarcastic motherfuckers and
I love it.
