Skyrim has a better magic item creation system. Oblivion's was broken.

Skyrim has more options for combat.

Skyrim has a much better spell diversity.

The elements in Skyrim are actually different from each other.

Skyrim has better balance between the races.

Skyrim has sprinting.

Skyrim has shouts. Lots of shouts.

Oblivion has better character creation in the beginning of the game.

Oblivion seems to have more quests.

Oblivion seems to have more monster types.

I think Oblivion was bigger overall, as far the map goes. Some of the Oblivion gates had a nice size.

Oblivion has spell creation.

For WRPGS: KotOR + K1R Demo, KotOR2 + TSLRCM, Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect 1,2,3. ZM90 Dec 2012 #1

I'm actually playing through Skyward Sword as we speak. It's one of the best Zelda's yet. white_wolf Dec 2012 #4

Yeah Baldur's Gate is pretty good although I still prefer KotOR and Dragon Age: Origins ZM90 Dec 2012 #6

Skyward Sword is a huge improvement over Twilight Princess. white_wolf Dec 2012 #7

Too bad you don't have a Vita. The Persona games are kicking all kinds of ass (if you like jrpgs). Evoman Dec 2012 #11

In fact, I'm going to double post just to encourage you to pick up Avernum Escape from the Pit. Evoman Dec 2012 #12

I'd rather play it on Wii simply because I figure the controls and everything are better, but... white_wolf Dec 2012 #21
