Play Oblivion AFTER Skyrim?

So I just discovered the Elder Scroll series with the release and buzz of 5: Skyrim. After over 100 hours of gameplay I'm running out of quests and storyline and not too interested in playing through again just to take slightly different branches in the story.

That being said, would I be disappointed if I picked up the last instalment, Oblivion, released in 2006? I've done this before with other games and generally found that the decrease in graphics quality, features, and the overall polish that I experienced in the newer game made the older one less enjoyable.

So, what do you think folks? Get it or skip it?

    I loved oblivion and that's how I got into the series though back then most people told me that elder scrolls 3 morrowind was the best game in the series although very dated in graphics and tech (now modded to look quite amazing) and played skyrim and loved it. Oblivion still has a charm as thats the frist type of game i played of its kind. i would suggest you play oblivion and definitely try morrowind, you may love it and definitely fallout 3 as its by the same developers and came after oblivion and before skyrim

    Yea the order would not rely in case you're figuring out to play Oblivion or Skyrim because of the fact the two video games take place in 2 distinctive aspects. Oblivion happens interior the Imperial living house land and Skyrim happens interior the Nord fatherland. in my opinion Skyrim will provide you a greater efficient journey than Oblivion, based on the undeniable fact that Skyrim has the greater present day sport engine and is so plenty greater captivating to the attention in terms of pictures. Plus there are greater issues which you're able to do in Skyrim than Oblivion. desire this facilitates = )

    Oblivion is a great game. I think it is better than Skyrim because it has not been dumbed down for the masses as much. Saying that, compared to Skyrim it looks very dated and the amount of loading in it is criminal.

    Skip it.

    Oblivion is SO much better than Skyrim.

    the characters may not look as good, but the game's story is just so much better.
