I will admit that like yourself I did like the whole muliti outcome to the quests but thats about all that I liked about it. As for Oblivion I did really enjoy it but I thought that they could have at least added the ability to attack when your on your horse. The thing I liked about Oblivion was the world I'd spend hours riding round just looking as the sceenery. I like standing on the shores near Anvil & watching the sun set, for me at least Oblivion would have been the ultimate game if there was more ways to do the quest & like I said if you could attack on horse back.
I don't like playing game's where I can't fully controle my character because (at least for me) that add's to the whole bond with them. I think Dragon Age had potential but it failed in my eyes, if there was more exploration & less limitations in regards to character develepment & more enemys to fight then I would have had a easyer time at getting engrosed in the game & I would have proberbly come to like it. I'm the type of gamer that loves to explore the games I play, I'll spend hours running aroud doing nothing but looking at all there is to see in the game.
Game's like DKS Oblivion Fallout & Final Fantasy are perfect for me & I'm in heaven every time I play them. As for comparing game's yes I do it as well & theres nothing wrong with doing it, that's how awsome games are made by comparing them to others & adding what you think will make it better. I just don't like people comparing to games they've never played especialy when there insulting the game before seeing what it's like for themselfs. Those kinds of people can go bite my A** till it's sore & then then suffer my WRATH because they made my A** red lol.
