The game is very vast and will suck you in for many hours. Worth the buy!… Expand

    Its one of my favorite games of all times.Its an "old school" RPG that I can play and replay without even think it was released so long ago.

    The graphics are old, but its a 10 years old game. Its easy to forget the old graphics when you see so many other similar games far worst. The game focuses a lot on facial expressions, and I think its something fantastic because it's one of the oldest games to do it. Also virtually all non-playable characters have dialogue, and with something to say to the player. Simply superb.

    The soundtrack its fantastic and epic, impossible to forget.

    But for my the main focus its the story and universe of Tamriel. Its a large map to explore, and you can follow the story or your own path. Some side quest feels a bit repetitive, but despite that the game is perfect in so many ways! Its even possible to forget that small issues.

    Oblivion is a piece of the history of video games. A "must have" to any gamer collection, specially if you are like me, a fan of RPG games.    … Expand

For me the game is bolstered by how enjoyable it is just to explore. Without that, it would be just a well polished, but mediocre game. The main story is cliche and uninspired. The dialogue was TERRIBLY repetitive and rarely aroused any emotional reaction in me. I would rather have read interesting, variable, and interactive text than have listened to NPC's repeat voiceovers like that and have little choice in effecting their attitude towards me other than by killing or stealing or casting a spell. I couldn't have cared less about the characters. There aren't really any ethical dilemmas in the game. To kill or not to kill. To steal or not to steal. To accept a quest or not to accept a quest. That's about it. Also, just about every enemy stronghold is the exact same thing over an over again. You walk in, kill them, take their loot and leave without ever knowing who they were, why they were there, or why you wanted to kill them. This could be understood for, say, undead or ogre's but this is policy even for "human" bandits. You can't trade with them or speak to them. They just want to kill you because you are there. This feels very unnatural and drew me out of the game. There is also a dire lack of variability in enemy type and tactic. One of the things Oblivion's creators tried to sell the game on is it's massive amount of content. I would rather have had less, more interesting content. But again I say the heart of Oblivion is exploration and on this front alone the game stands as a wonderful achievement.… Expand
