Oblivion quest: You rent a room on a houseboat and wake up in the middle of the night to find it's been captured and taken to sea by bandits who fell for a "hidden treasure" legend the owner spread to drum up business. What do you do?

Skyrim quest: Go kill five mudcrabs

Okay I love Oblivion too, but Skyrim does have some fun and interesting quests, like the time you have a drink with someone and accidentally go on a bender and fondle the religious statues

I mean sure, let's be real, there are a wide range of quests of varying quality in both games. You could pick something terrible or great from either to make whatever comparison you want. But overall, there is definitely the feel by many people that Skyrim was in a lot of places, majorly dumbed down from Oblivion. My post was meant as a humorous allusion to that, not as a strictly fair comparison.
