"It all comes down to opinion, really. I thought Oblivion's combat was weak and the atmosphere was also very weak. "OH, NO, OBLIVION PORTALS! WE'LL NEED TO go about our lives and wait for the main character to sort everything out, barely mentioning it." But the quests and questlines in Oblivion had so much more attention to detail and were great. On the other hand, Skyrim had a very good combat, with dual wielding, shouts, etc and a good atmosphere. But the quests were weak and a lot were boring.
tl;dr
Skyrim did the things Oblivion did wrong right but messed up the good things about Oblivion."
oblivions combat was good
the shouts barely even make a difference at all, and you have to spend time finding all 3 parts to even make a shout good, in which you can only use like every 2 minutes.
also, think about what you said about oblivion portals, now put that into perspective with alduin.
"OH NO BAD ASS DRAGON THREATENING TO END THE WORLD? WE'll just wait until the dragon born travels to a different dimension to fight him.
the dual wielding in skyrim was also weak as hell "look, i can swing my weapon in 2 more ways now!"

I see what you're saying, but a few things
-dual wielding made sense and made it more fun
-Oblivion combat was basically swing swing swing get parried get hit swing swing, although I guess it's the same for Skyrim
-around 99.9% of Tamriel didn't know about Alduin, only the Dragonborn and the Blades
-shouts were good

i didn't like how skyrim had the same playthrough over and over again if you beat the game
that's why people like mods so they aren't forced to be dragonborn
chicken nuggets are sinceriously delicious! |

Some of Skyrim's quests fell flat too.
Oblivion's The Great Heist and Dark Brotherhood quests were fun to do, and added depth to the game.

unrelenting force
dragon rend
that champion one
the only 3 shouts i bet anyone uses besides maybe the frost and fire ones which don't even scratch enemies past level 30.
bethesda also knew that there would be more players attracted to skyrim so they made sure that you can just story line the whole game by smashing on the trigger and dragon rending every dragon you see and unrelenting forcing any strong enemy you face
in oblivion you can't do that at all

Shouts were only fun when using on hapless citizens.

In Oblivion, I literally Umbra'd every enemy I came across and won everything ever.
Kind of ruined it for me.

Yeah, but Umbra's cheap to begin with.

also 90% of the fights in skyrim went 2 ways
- You beat up the enemy slowly stunlocking them until they're dead
- You get one shot by something super high level |
|

there were too many GOD DAMN dragons
they weren't even special by the time you reach level 20
they were basically like the green generic slimes of every game, just with more health and damage

b-b-b-but I like dragons
they said funny words |
|

the ONLY redeeming factor of skyrim was the dlc's, which i haven't even gotten so i couldn't tell you at all if they were good
