Oblivion was one of my favorite games when it was launched and I put hundreds of hours into it. But two things drove me crazy: the floaty combat and the instability. I mean goodness that game would slow down and crash if you pushed it just a little bit too hard. Oh and the character models...actually that's a problem with every single Bethesda Game Studios game pre-Skyrim, where it got better.

Skyrim improved on most of what Oblivion had and for me was actually far more stable and I didn't have too many bugs that were worse than annoyances. But one thing it didn't fix that it very easily could have was that all the cities are still freaking instanced resulting in unnecessary load screens. Thankfully the mod community fixed that quickly. Combat still isn't anything special, but I don't hate it as it's not why I play the game anyway.
