is this game worth buying?

Dawnguard is pretty awesome. Oblivion is very different from Skyrim, not better or worse (imo), just different. They are both about the same price, though.

I bought the 5th anniversary edition of Oblivion for $18 at Gamestop, it comes with all of the expansions plus the map, bonus DVD (artwork/behind the scenes) and comes in a really badass metal case! :D

 

Dawnguard is pretty cool too if you like vampire kind of stuff. There is a vampire power similar to werewolf, but uses it's own skill tree for it's powers and you have to kill enemies with a certain attack as the vampire to earn xp for the skill tree. You also get a crossbow and some other weapons, and the quest/storyline itself is good.

 

For the price though, I would get Oblivion. But it seems like for you, since you started with Skyrim, Dawnguard might be the way to go as most players would consider Oblivion a downgrade from Skyrim but IMO it isn't, it's just a different game.

If you can overlook the older graphics and clunkier combat in Oblivion, it wins hands down in terms of bang for buck. With it, you'll get several hundred hours of gameplay and access to 6 years worth of mods.

 

Dawnguard is not a whole new game - think of it as buying "a really awesome mod that will give you a few dozen hours of gameplay". Skyrim is of course a much newer and flashier game and its graphics win by a mile unmodded, or by a nose when both games are fully modded.

I gotta agree. Oblivion was amazing for me. You should definitely get it. Skyrim just didn't feel as good as Oblivion did.
