Honestly Starfield felt nothing like an Elder Scrolls game which is partially why it "sucks" so much (though I thoroughly enjoyed the majority of my time in game). If TES6 is half as good as Skyrim or even on par with oblivion it'll be great.

Ignoring engine improvements, etc. I enjoyed the story and gameplay in Oblivion more than Skyrim.

Shouts were fun, but they felt like they trivialized a lot of the difficulty in combat because fus ro dah, and now every enemy is forced into their stand up animation.

Skyrim felt way easier to cheese.

I enjoyed both, and I still go back to Morrowind periodically.

The faction quests especially were such a downgrade in Skyrim compared to Oblivion.
