I have no intentions of getting Skyrim, however Oblivion is on sale at the moment, so I might take a snap at that if it's actually good.

Yes. I just got it even though I already own it for the 360. Playing with mods is much better.

I would get Oblivion yes, but trust me Skyrim is 100x better. I would go as far as saying Skyrim is better than Morrowind and best RPG game of all time.

Oblivion is a fantastic game that I recommend you to play. I'm sure once you play it you will have some sort've interest in Skyrim. Also... Why is your name in red and no one elses is?

I'd say no, Skyrim's basically a solid improvement in every way over Oblivion... if you have no intention of getting it now, just wait a century for it to be cheaper.

Sure. I think Oblivion is a really great game. But Skyrim is clearly head and shoulders better.

But a $45 price difference is significant, so if you're really strapped for funds, then Oblivion is still worth it at the discount price, IMO

No, looks like you have some sort of issue with the Shift key which might mess you up in the game.

With the amount of mods available it's worth it.

Oblivion is the worst game in the series. If you're going to get an older TES game get Morrowind. There are also mods out there that can make it look nearly as good as Oblivion maxed out if you've got a computer good enough to run them.

Yes, I'd play oblivion because of price. Just make sure you mod it to your taste. However if you money flowing out of your pockets then go ahead and spend $60 on skyrim (not including the inevitable dlc yet!).

Hmm, if you dont want Skyrim i dont think that Oblivion is the game for you, but 5$ is cheap so ya buy it if you dont like it you can always give it away.

Looks like the Poll is tied.

I'm not getting Skyrim because I can't. I do have an interest in Oblivion, but only a slight one. I was wondering if there was any point in buying it.

You mean that region locked game that Bethesda didn't care to put out for the Baltic people?

Ah.

At $4.99 it's a steal. If you are dissatisfied with any mechanic in the game there's a mod to change it, so ignore the naysaying vocal minority that hate oblivion for whatever reason.

Playing Oblivion isn't going to fix that. :P

Yes this is a pretty good deal. Like I said above, mod it to your taste and you can't go wrong. Some mods at www.tesnexus.com for starters.
