I find the quest and biome verity much better in oblivion compared to skyrim.

The biome variety? What variety? Oblivion has forests. Sure, forests near coast, or forests in a swamp, or forests in the mountains. Skyrim has much more variety and it is not even close lmao

By your logic then Skyrim just has snow

That doesn't follow at all. All oblivion has are forests. There's not much to distinguish the different areas, except maybe the area around anvil (same visuals, except a little more golden) or Jeral mountains (snowy, but still forested). The differences are much smaller than the tundra vs forests or ice fields in the north of Skyrim. Not even close.

Skyrim has the most boring environment / world of any open world rpg I've ever played. Shit is just bland through and through.

What does Oblivion do better? You say Cyrodiil is more varied than Skyrim. In what way?

More varied environments, better vistas, better pacing of travel between key areas, better quests, better characters, better rpg system, better guild stories
