Default Best Elder Scrolls game?

One of the benefits of lockdown was I cracked out the old 360 and started playing Skyrim again. Put about 100 hours into it and decided to give Oblivion a go next but I found it really hard to get into after playing Skyrim. I think most people consider it a better game but after enjoying the graphics and combat of Skyrim, Oblivion just felt too clunky and cartoony. Lots of little things like regenerating health, weapons/armor not needing repairing, the ability to sprint etc all make Skyrim much more enjoyable imo even if a lot of the quests are a bit repetitive

I've heard Morrowind is really good although doubt I'd enjoy it as much given my issues with Oblivion. Doubt anyone will pick the first two games but I will include them for completions sake

Oblivion.

Skyrim is decent, but removed a lot of what made TES good, and 99% of the quests lead to copy paste dungeons

What do you reckon it removed out of interest?

Agree about the quests

Spell creation

No arena
A lot of Skyrim felt very similar. Whereas Cheydanhal felt different to Bruma, and Bruma felt different to Anvil.

Oblivion just felt so much more in depth

I agree with most of that but I dunno about the places being that similar. Like Markarth is very different to Solitude and Windhelm is pretty different to Whiterun. I think Skyrim just looks so much better as well that it makes the towns and landscape more enjoyable anyway
