For those of you who have played both Skyrim and and Oblivion's Dark Brotherhood questlines, which game had a better family in your opinion?

Honestly, the family from Oblivion entertained me far more. When the orc was talking sbout raiding the birthday party... As twisted as this sounds, I laughed.

Oblivion as a whole holds a special place in my heart, but that Brotherhood...I really did enjoy it. In Skyrim, I just felt so crushingly outdated; I wanted the old rules back, and I missed the sense of structure and hierarchy, I was constantly preoccupied with thoughts of what was happening to my poor, abandoned Cheydinhal Sanctuary, all manner of things.

I prefered the Oblivion Dark Brotherhood, although my supervisor at work prefers the Skyrim version he stopped arguing when I commented that it was a copy, litterally of Oblivions.

I think what happened is they saw how popular it was, and tried to recreate that, but ended up copying it mostly. Even some of the quests are copies (w/some minor modifications) found in Oblivion.

Over all I prefer the OB one, although I did enjoy killing everyone of the DB in Skyrim.

Seeing a mage who won't harass you for being human was refreshing. Seeing a vampire who wasn't necessarily supposed to represent a playboy or an overly refined person was refreshing. Not having to fight a an Orc with an axe that would cleave your very essence in two... *whew* was refreshing.
A werewolf has a weakness. An angry Orc won't give you enough time to think about weakness and even less time or space for strategies.
