Maybe the Oblivion intro feels more memorable because the rest of the games was such a step down from Morrowind in a lot of ways. Skyrim, for all its continued dumbing down of Elder Scrolls, was a well made fun game. And you got to be the main character again!

I actually love Oblivion for the reason you are NOT the main chosen one character. Oblivion's people love you regardless, while they treat you like a fetchdog in Skyrim.
Oblivion's curse is the broken leveling system.

Oh god, that leveling system is abysmal isn't it?

I found that to be successful I had to primarily focus my main skills in silly shit I could easily level.

All hail the master of jumping and unarmed combat, defeater of dremora lords!
