KOTOR is one I've wanted to try, but worry it'll be a Morrowind experience for me. I was excited to hear about the remake, but that seems like it could be in limbo at the moment.

Oblivion was far more vibrant and fantasical-feeling while out and exploring. Skyrim felt very dull and depressing, but that was also the vibe they were going for. I don't fault anyone for not liking something. Hell, Witcher 3 should be right up my alley on paper, and I just didn't end up enjoying it, even after giving it several hours at a friend's recommendation.

The color palette in Oblivion alone is more vibrant and saturated than the one in Skyrim. Skyrim is a lot cooler (white balancing wise) and greyer in tone, making it feel a little drab compared to the lush greens of Cyrodiil.

At it's release though, Oblivion was the prettiest in-game forest around.
