Yeah that's what I thought. I'm not a fan of jumping into a series without seeing its beginnings. The problem is, however, have you ever tried to play a game (oblivion) after finishing its successor (skyrim). I loved oblivion the first time but once I played skyrim with all of its new features and what not, oblivion became unbearable. Though I'll stick to your suggestion. Sounds like what I was gonna do anyway, just sayin though
