    One of my favorite games of all times, this will live on in my memory for the rest of my life! It was a genre defining game!

    As worthy a followup to Morrowind as Bethesda could probably accomplish. It's not perfect, but it's good.

    I haven't played it for as many hours as I loved Skyrim, but it's definitely a game that I found at least as successful. Don't mind that it's old, give it a chance.

    This game is a masterpiece and has some of the best quests and stories in an rpg but the random vampirism mechanic can ruin an entire playthrough and knocks 2 points off of my rating.

    That was mmy go to when I found my old PC couldn't run Skyrim back in the day. Freaking great game! Some side quests here really blown my mind, and every time I think about Oblivion I get sad for the fact that many games today abuse repetitiveness to pretend they have a lot of content.

    The best Elder scrolls game ever made. Period.

    Skyrim is great but it's very dumbed down compared to the previous versions of Elder Scrolls. Oblivion was the best out of the series in my opinion.

    The second game I played the most in my life! I loved to creat male High Elves characters because I always thought they all looks a little bit like Paul McCartney, LOL

    A masterpiece. This game changed not only the genre, but the entire industry. Building upon morrowind, they managed to retain the depth while taking away mechanics that reduced immersion. This game has high replayability, intense depth, and each playthrough and character can be completely different. This is a game which can be played for hundreds of hours without even doing the main story.A masterpiece. This game changed not only the genre, but the entire industry.

The only thing keeping this game back in the modern era are graphics, but when this game launched the graphics were stunning. Expand

    Game is hella ugly but the sheer freedom available is too much to handle. A massive amount of quests, tons of unique items, crazy good DLC, innumerable tools to break the game entirely, an expansive magic and enchantment system... it presents a deep and well-realized world that while not the most inspired, is a joy to delve into

    Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло. Очень Большое Зло, Геральт, это такое, которого ты и представить себе не можешь, даже если думаешь, будто уже ничто не в состоянии тебя удивить. И знаешь, Геральт, порой бывает так, что Очень Большое Зло схватит тебя за горло и скажет: «Выбирай, братец, либо я, либо то, которое чуточку поменьше»Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло.

    Just text (crutch) to save the game to the list. Such things. Maybe I'll do a review later.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s definitely more streamlined than Morrowind and has a decent storyline. Though I would say that you should probably focus more on the side quest as they are a lot more interesting. Expand

    Review só pra lembrar a nota que dei pro jogo:
    Melhor que a Skyrim, mas na minha opinião não o melhor que a série tem a oferecer, com uma grande quantidade de bugs e um sistema de level-up horrível.

    16 yr old game is refreshing to play, a break from all the high tech glitz & glamour often seen in today's games. The mechanics & elements of this game are unique for its time.
    Well worth playing!

    Even after over a decade of Skyrim, I'd say Oblivion is still worth playing. Skyrim is undoubtedly better-designed as a game, but Oblivion feels more like a fantasy-adventure to me.

    Hands down one of my top favorite video games of all time. Memorable quests, music, landmarks, and of course you can't forget about the memes.

    Great FPS game. Graphics are beautiful, especially considering the release date. Story line is a fav. The DLCs are great story lines as well. For those familiar with the TES series, a plus for Oblivion, that I was sorry they lost in Skyrim, the merchants do not run out of money. Comes in handier than it may sound.
    I have Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim. Of these, Oblivion is my

    I find it very addicting so in that sense I wouldn't recommend it. But yeah, it's a great game. Buggy as heck, but a lot of fun.

  1. It’s just so damned big. That’s what you’ll say after playing Oblivion for more than an hour. Or, for that matter, 50 hours.
  2. Oblivion is by far the closest I have come to playing D&D Sunday afternoons with my friends (yes, I did that, though I’m on medication now), all wrapped up in a stunning package with tens of thousands of lines of spoken dialog and good music.
  3. 100
    I honestly have to say that I am in favour of most of the changes and I think Oblivion is an awesome achievement from Bethesda.
