Avowed's story is pretty mid, but it's still much better than either Oblivion or Skyrim's.

Exploration-wise, of course Oblivion and Skyrim are better. That's never been Obsidian's focus.

I don't think it's even possible to untangle storytelling from experience in TES games. Their magic is that they immerse the player in a way no other game ever managed to, in my opinion. Every stone is part of the lore. And when you put those games into the time context they belong, you see the masterpiece.

That said, Avowed did a fairly good job, and storytelling has also advanced in 14 years since the last TES game.
