I played Oblivion through two and a half time on the console and feel I suffered not at all for it.
well, to quote Neil Degrasse Tyson "Watch out guys, we’re dealing with a badass over here"
how many hours did you put in to your 2.5 trips through cyrodiil? or fallout 3 / New vegas?
I can state I have over 700hrs alone in New Vegas (thanks steam for keeping track :p ) and probably more than that in Oblivion (did'nt buy it on steam originally, (but it came with my Bethesda /Id Pack I picked up in July) and its all due to mods, if I was stuck with the stock version of Oblivion / Skyrim or Fallout 3 i'd probably never touch those games once i was done with them. but lucky for me I have Mods like
FCOM and other mods like it (see also:
nehrim,
andoran(only in russian at the time) )
Bethesda open world games are only really frameworks, the real game begins when the modders fix the bugs, the gameplay, and add a crap ton more content.
