If Oblivion had Skyrim's combat and graphics?

So guys, i was thinking earlier and i realized everyone talks so much about how much of an epic game Skyrim is and how its their favorite game ever, including the people who have played oblivion. I was wondering, would Skyrim be put on such a high pedestal if Oblivion had the same graphics and combat as Skyrim? I mean in my opinion, Oblivions quests were way more interesting and creative than skyrims and the land could actually feel like you were wandering into the unknown wilderness, whereas Skyrim has a new cave or structure of some sort always somewhere in view.

Skyrim was a great game, but im just wondering if you guys think Oblivion would be better than Skyrim if they both had the same graphics and combat/leveling system?

No. Oblivion was boring - it was one endless forest with a road that ran pass four thousand caves surrounded by those wood nymph demons and like minotaurs. Skyrim was more interesting because like Fallout 3 it was a world of it's own. You could stumble across a wizard fight that got out of hand, you could accidently run a foul of a group of trolls, missions would literally run into you, there were actual changes in the land scape! Swamp, bog, mountain ranges, raging rivers, plains, hot springs, tundra, an actual ice field... it was lovely. So yeah, my answer would be no.

I don't think that it would be a better game if we had the combat of Skyrim or graphics for that matter. The world of Skyrim is much bigger than Oblivion.

I can agree with that i mean i did like Skyrim but i just feel like Oblivion was more of an actual adventure which is what i like a lot in RPG's. Like Crayons said though i think it probably does just have to do with your preference of province
