I have many, many fond memories of Oblivion. But I truly feel Skyrim is a better entry point for getting lost in the game. It's just better put together. Now, it does look slightly dated now but if you are on PC with a fairly strong rig, that is easily fixed with mods. The Nexus mod sites have a ton of great overhauls for the aesthetics. Skyeim Flora Overhaul and one of the many HD texture packs plus Imaginator are all things I highly, highly recommend. Same goes for Oblivion but even the best mods can only make such an old game look so good. |
Not really much for PC gaming these days, its out of budget but will 8gig DDR3 ram, i5 at 2.73gz and 1gig Nvidia Gefore 480 with CUBA run skyrim, smoothly, doesnn't need to be all graphical because I can play a pixelated game and adjust pretty quickly but I do need a certain fps, around 30 or higher? 64 bit on windows 7.

Bit late on this but yes, that would run Skyrim fine. You wouldn't be able to go all bonkers with high res textures and all that but it would run it fine. As for Oblivion, it should run very well on that. Heck, you may (emphasis on "may;" Oblivion's engine isn't exactly a marvel) be able to install some nice visual upgrades if you are so inclined like Qarl's Texture Pack. And Oblivion is quite good. I will say that you should get all the DLC if you didn't already. You can get it all for dirt cheap if you time it right. Knights of the Nine is quite good, Frostcrag is a great and useful player home, and Shivering Isles is an amazing expansion pack.
