Oblivion can be made to be quite good if you mod it. Specifically the level scaling system.

You're not getting the true Skyrim experience if you do.
Like randomly falling off one end of the map and through the orher over and over again, like something out of a bad Portal clone.

It's hilarious how they keep porting all the bugs and exploits in these "remasters".
Almost as if they never bothered to remaster them at all, and went "Eh, let the modders get it".

You joke, but I have tried playing vanilla Skyrim. I didn't enjoy it that much at all. Modded, though? I enjoy the shit out of it.
I do consider DAO to be better though, at least personally. Yes, my version is heavily modded, but even without the mods the story and the characters are far more interesting imo.
I've enjoyed Skyrim even though I've played "superior" games like it, like Witcher 3, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and Dragon's Dogma.
I think it's a fantastic game tbh, that said I enjoyed the above games more. Before anyone asks, I've played various versions of it on PS3, PC, but the first time I beat the story was on Switch (so basically, the Vanilla version.)
Maybe not Witcher 3, I did have fun with it but maybe the third-person perspective made Skyrim less repetitive, and my enjoyment Witcher 3 was ruined when I got the bad ending due to stuff I had no idea would affect the ending.

Seeing as how Morrowind isn't available on PS3 and I don't have a good gaming PC, I may not ever get a chance to play Morrowind.
That seems to be the majority opinion I hear from the people who have played both games, yeah.
Still, I would like to play thru Oblivion just once at least for the experience so I have went ahead and purchased a used GotY edition that comes with a map on ebay for $10. I should get it in about a week but it might be a while before I get around to playing it as I'm trying to finish up some odds and ends in my current playthru of Skyrim while at the same time juggling two other very time-consuming games as well.
Don't know if I'll play thru Oblivion more than once since there are no trophies available for the game from what I've heard which sucks. If I really enjoy the game I might play thru it a second time anyway as a different character from whatever I choose in the first playrhru and of course on a harder difficulty setting.
What is the magic skills like in Oblivion? Magic, for the most part, sucks in Skyrim in my experiences with it. I played as a High Elf in my very first playthru of the game and while I enjoyed it greatly the magic wasn't nearly as powerful as I'd thought it'd be. At least, not destruction magic. The other schools were pretty decent I guess.
Playing as a Khajiit this time around (really like cats lol) and I've really enjoyed it so far even though I'm at such a high level that nearly all enemies have become pushovers. Lots of times I even one-shot dragons lol though they rarely show up anymore since I've already defeated Alduin.

Funny, but I've never experienced many of the game-breaking bugs I've heard mostly PC gamers complain about.
My main problem with the game is the long ass loading screens and taking too damn long to do a manual save. Besides that, I love it.

Oh yeah? What about the mods makes it a better experience?
I used to be all about modding, but swore it off ever since I got tired of the incompatibility issues or new bugs they tended to introduce, or otherwise unfinished aspects.

My philosophy is if a game needs to be heavily modded to become fun, you may as well just play a better game.

There hasn't been a Dragon Age game that wasn't a massive pile of shit since 2009. How is there even a dilemma here?

Yes, but the only games in that franchise have all been good.
ToR is not part of the KOTOR franchise don't @ me.

Continue to @ me and there's going to be a problem buddy.
