djranis: totally get what you are saying, but oblivion has its own perks that wont click with everybody, btw background music is what make it more immersive in oblivion and especially skyrim
0Grapher: I think the main reason why so many people hate on Oblivion is that there were always the ones that hated it to begin with whilst now the ones who played it to death aren't that enthusiastic about it any more. Oblivion has a lot of good aspects like the way they made being a guild master matter. In Skyrim there aren't real guilds anymore and in Morrowind there wasn't enough to do anymore when you finished a guild. In Oblivion you have some small assignments as a guild master and it made you feel like one.
The daily routines of NPCs are not bad in Oblivion and quite a few quests require you to meet an NPC at a certain place and time. That's great in my opinion, especially for a stealthy character.
Daedric artifacts and rare items have a use for the most part.
Oblivion has a reputation system, which I find essential. In many cases it really makes sense for people to know who you are and what you've done. This wasn't perfect in Oblivion but better than having no reputation system like in Skyrim.
You can actually talk with NPCs, which is totally impossible in Skyrim, and find work by listening to rumors.
In Skyrim the NPCs only talk with each other if this is a part of a quest, in Oblvion they had some conversations, which I liked.
These were just a few examples. :)
