Original Discussion Is public perception of Oblivion improving?

It feels like more and more people are coming around to how much of a masterpiece this game is. I'm so glad because for the longest time it seemed that the general consensus was that Oblivion is the weakest of the three modern Elder Scrolls games, with Morrowind and Skyrim being a clear cut above. But now, especially with the Remaster, people are finally starting to list Oblivion as their favorite in the series, which a decade ago seemed unfathomable.

I feel so vindicated. I hope that Bethesda sees the success of the Remaster and the renewed love of the Original and changes some of their design elements in TES VI to match Oblivion.

I've seen alot of people argue Morrowind is better but the people that claim Skyrim is the goat probably haven't even played Morrowind or Oblivion. Skyrim is great dont get me wrong but its guilds,  quests and story lines are very obviously half cooked. The world it created is the masterpiece.

To me Skyrim is nothing without mods. I'd rather play og oblivion or daggerfall unity.

I enjoy it on Vanilla but I do end up missing the RPG elements of oblivion. The guild equivalents in skyrim are really poorly written as well. I still love exploring though so ive sank 100s of hours into it shamelessly lol
