Best Answer

Armor no longer reduces spell effectiveness, the 'spell effectiveness' stat no longer truly exists. The magnitude of the spell is determined entirely by your skill in the relevant spell school, plus any applicable perks from that school's skill tree, and then reduced by the enemy's Magic Resist, if relevant. So the effect is still the same, whether you are in full daedric, or wearing nothing.

What Skyrim does instead is to have robes and other wizardly items give you magic-related bonuses, rather than have armor apply penalties. You've got things like hoods that increase your magicka points, robes with a fortify effect on a chosen school (A fortify effect on a spell school makes spells from that school cost less to cast, rather than make them more effective), plus increased magicka regeneration.

Should i get oblivion or skyrim?

Both. Skyrim has more modern graphics and mechanics, is longer and is less repetative, but playing Oblivion adds another layer of depth to the world of Skyrim. For example, Margret is visiting Skyrim from Cyrodil, the main location in Oblivion, and simply knowing about the location where she comes from makes it more enjoyable. If you can only play 1, then make it Skyrim.

Does Skyrim tie in with what your Oblivion character did in Oblivion?

Not really. Oblivion has a main plot that has to be followed. The events of this plot are part of Skyrim's background. In canon terms, the main character from Oblivion becomes Sheogorath, Daedric Prince of Madness (as portrayed in the Shivering Isles expansion), and indeed, the Sheogorath you meet in Skyrim will hint towards having witnessed the events of the Oblivion Crisis personally, as well as saying his power was given to him.
