Why not play dom2 in the meantime?

Wasn't that other thread enough for Oblivion OT, there was some other dude that got it too... Huh, PrinzMegaherz! Where did that nice bouncy avatar go
She's back due to popular demand.

As for Oblivion:

There a a number of things I don't like / that could have been improved in order to make it even better. Even though, I can't get myself to stop playing it, and it has been quite some time I since a last played one game that much.

Is Oblivion more like Daggerfall or just a step up from Morrowind? Is there any real widlerness or areas that arent part of a quest? Im still debating whether or not to get Oblivion

There is a quicktravel option like in daggerfall that let's you jump to specific locations you want to travel to. If you choose to go there yourself, you will stumble upon more than just one place of interest in between. There are countless caves, old castles and ancient remains to be found. All are very detailed and nicely designed (no instant dungeons as in Daggerfall). However, they lack their own story. I would have liked to find books or letters that would explain a bit of their past, but there is nothing. It's a bit like those places in Diablo 2 that you could enter to find a golden chest at the end, but nothing else. If you like dungeon crawling just of the sake of getting items and experience, this is for you. If you prefer story elements, you can skip those and get on with the main quest or the sidequests.
