Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

You mean more memorable than nearly getting executed and having to escape a dragon attack?
Yeah, not really. And I've played both.
Even this should tell you enough:
I think people just give Skyrim a lot more hate because it's been the last in the series for so, so long.
Oblivion was probably the #2 most memorable intro/tutorial of its' rough time period to me. #1 is stealing a bike in an alleyway.
Maybe the Oblivion intro feels more memorable because the rest of the games was such a step down from Morrowind in a lot of ways. Skyrim, for all its continued dumbing down of Elder Scrolls, was a well made fun game. And you got to be the main character again!
I actually love Oblivion for the reason you are NOT the main chosen one character. Oblivion's people love you regardless, while they treat you like a fetchdog in Skyrim.
Oblivion's curse is the broken leveling system.
Oh god, that leveling system is abysmal isn't it?
I found that to be successful I had to primarily focus my main skills in silly shit I could easily level.
All hail the master of jumping and unarmed combat, defeater of dremora lords!
