I've been playing lots of Skyrim lately, and oddly, finding it more engaging than Oblivion :)
I think there's more variety in the areas/dungeons/cities this time, and the various simplifications in the game system haven't hurt it too much. Also, for much of the game I've had to be careful entering caves/dungeons/etc, because I never know if it'll be too dangerous for me - something I thought was missing from Oblivion because of its levelling system. (It was present in Morrowind, though, so it's good to see a return to form).
... I suspect there's a rambly M/O/S comparison post bubbling up, I just have to get away from Skyrim long enough to write it :)
