Yes, it would.

But they should've implemented the whole Dragonborn thing differently, imho.
As it is, you start at the top very early in the game, having pretty much the
same status you had in Oblivion when you finished the MQ line, well you should
have but as stated, no one gives a crap.

Just breaks the immersion for me.

Now that I think about it, that general "reputation" stat seems to be absent... There's still the responses from guards, commenting on your skills (I swear, if one more asks me to brew him an ale...), but can't say I've heard anything Dragonborn related.

Actually, when you slay a dragon and absorb its soul. People will run over to the skeleton to gawk and will give relevant responses in dialogue, but that's it.

Factional reputation is one of the two things that I would have liked seen added from the Fallout series that just didn't seem to make the cut. If I become Listener of the Black Hand, people may not know that this is my job, but I have killed enough people for them to know that when I am around bad things happen. As such, honorable groups like the Companions shouldn't really want anything to do with me. Also, you can sign on with the Imperial Legion, don your Legion uniform and saunter right into Windhelm, the center of all things Stormcloak, in broad daylight and no one says a word. That just shouldn't be.

The other thing is limb damage. It makes maintaining a players health much more interesting.

I agree with pretty much all of this... There is no way I should be able to walk around freely praising the Empire in Ulfric's throne room.

I take pride in saying that I haven't installed a single nude mod yet.

The main quest line is short isn't it! I decided to start on some main quests just to get ahead in the story a bit, but once you get to talk to the dragon Paarthurnax its all over couple of dungeons later.

. Still I have tons of side quests and going to start doing more guild quests, really im a long way from finishing the game completely I just wish now I did not do the main quest line.

Is there any sense in investing time on Oblivion, seeing as it is part of the Steam sale, or should I just go straight for Skyrim?

Doesn't hurt to get it. I'll probably continue playing Nehrim (Oblivion mod) during the
weekend.
