Despite many attempts i have never been able to play Skyrim for long. I get overwhelmed with its size - the number of side quests, guilds, repetiveness, and the lack of interesting relationships. I have heard that Oblivion is actually a better game. Can anyone comment on similarities and differences? Is it a smaller game?

I have heard that Oblivion is actually a better game. Can anyone comment on similarities and differences? Is it a smaller game? I like the high fantasy style of Oblivion a bit better than the dulled edgy nordic Skyrim setting but that's just a matter of taste.
In terms of gameplay, I do think Skyrim was an improvement as they streamlined a few clunky things and removed some of the weirder design decisions from Oblivion.
In terms of the world, the characters, factions and quests, I don't think there is that much difference, really. If Skyrim overwhelmed you with its stuff, Oblivion is gonna do the same. The faction quests a re a little bit longer in oblivion and require you to travel to all the major cities pretty much but in general, it's all pretty similar.
So yeah, I'd say don't expect a massively different experience.
