Embracing Nostalgia
Av Data
You want to go back to that time where you sat in your bedroom playing Oblivion, right? Maybe you owned it on a factory fresh Xbox 360, or maybe a shiny new PS3... But those times are gone now. So how can we get you back there?

The Preparation
The game is installed, you've isolated yourself in your nostalgia chamber of choice, made it clear that nobody is to "ruin your journey back to Cyrodiil" and put up the map that came with your copy of the game (not essential but enhances the experience).



You are now ready to embrace the nostalgia.
The Nostalgia
Boot up the game, as it's loading close your eyes and remember where you used to play the game, find the feeling of that era that's been stored in your head for all those years...

The menu music will begin and just like that... You're back there.

As you bask in the nostalgia, letting the music take you back, you can keep your eyes closed and when you're ready to open them, go ahead, the game will be there waiting for you to make a goofy character all over again.
The Tears
As you sit upon your steed wearing its glorious armor... Try not to cry, it may stop you from seeing the game and it's ill-advised to ride a horse blind.



If you do feel the tears streaming down your cheeks however, it's ok, they're happy tears.

I think it's probably now time to re-embrace nostalgia now TES: IV Remaster is out.

Nerd. Dorkazoid. Gooner. Build a time machine, Doc. I love this game but not as much as you clearly.

@Shibbleton I didnt read the post your referring to, but I clicked on this post to know what it was like. Skyrim was my first TES game, I was in middle school at the time. I loved Skyrim. I didnt start playing oblivion until whenever I bought this copy on steam. I love Oblivion way more. Aside from the memeable aspects, which add comedy relief, the quests are so much better, both in story telling and design. Skyrim's magic system was atrocious, but this one's was fantastic. All the skills that affect the tiniest aspects which you could use potions, custom spells and enchanted items to make insane, like acrobatics or athletics. They took out the hand to hand skill too! -----

Tl:DR: My own experience proves that Oblivion's superiority isn't just an effect of nostalgia.

@Michael4C don't shit on Skyrim. every recent Elder Scrolls game, Morrowind, oblivion, skyrim, all are amazing games and we all had our favourites as kids.
however, all three are janky as fuck and have pretty severe flaws, but they're still amazing games. just because you have nostalgia of oblivion doesn't mean it was better than the other games. I have played around 50 hours of oblivion, its good, but its dated, and my kids will be saying the same about skyrim.
oblivion is still really good though, its fun and has cool little quirks that unfortunately aren't in skyrim, but that doesn't make skyrim inferior.

Skyrim is only inferior because Nazeem and Delphine exist.
