Why does Oblivion's world look so much better than Skyrim's?

>>383199137
The Elder Scrolls are defined by their sharp decrease in quality

Because it has more colors than grey and brown.

you cannot tell me with a straight face that Arena and Daggerfall are better than Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim.

>>383199362
I can tell you that Daggerfall is better than Skyrim

It absolutely does not.

>>383199137
color instead of blue and grey

decently sized cities compared to skyrims 5 shacks cities

>>383199407
debatable. It's better in some ways (depth of RPG mechanics and character building) but worse in others.

>>383199608
I'd say that the RPG mechanics and character building makes it beat out Skyrim, which barely qualifies as an RPG

Literally does. Skyrim is absolutely disgusting.

>>383199137
Why didn't Skyrim have that armor? Why wasn't there an involving questline where you could hunt down thalmor boasting your worship of the NINE divine?

>>383199795
The only good looking armor set in the entirety of Skyrim is the Guard armor, the rest is hideous overdesigned trash.
>only 4 slots, head chest hands and feet
what a fucking joke

would and updated daggerfall win easily? I'm not talking huge, just put it on the unreal 1 engine or something.

Because it isn't a shitty cold tundra

>>383199137
I remember hearing in that Oblivion Perspective video that the world is all colorful and pretty looking, so that's what makes the game so "comfy"
Meanwhile Morrowind and Skyrim and bleak and realistic

>>383200381
Morrowind is at least an interesting world in how extremely alien it is. Skyrim is just generic fantasy without any color.

>>383199137
Better art style, the water color motif blows Skyrim's "realistic" approach out of the water.
That said, Skyrim's character models were a huge step up from Oblivion

>>383199137
The only thing Oblivion's visuals do better than Skyrim are brighter and more varied colors. Everything else about Oblivion is embarrassingly ugly. The faces alone are proof it's a visual disaster. Skyrim's people aren't pretty, but they're sure as fuck not those bloated skin balloons.

Colors and variation.

No game should be set in exclusively shit winter mode.

Quests beyond 'draugr in a cave'

Environments beyond caves.

Cities with personality.

>>383199137
That's kinda skyrims thing tho, it's a frozen wasteland outside of some areas in the reach. Oblivion is set in Cyrodiil which isn't. Yeah? Maybe?

At least both Oblivion and Skyrim's worlds aren't as bad as
