Does Oblivion really have 200 hours of gameplay.

It depends.

If you just blast right into the guilds and main quest then no.

If you do all the side quests, play around, get the DLC and just have fun with the game then sure.

My Orc has 195 hours on it and I recently started a new game with a BattleMage which I'm sure will get me at least another 100 hours.

Between PC (Xfire's at 296 hours) and 360, I've got over 500 hours in Oblivion. (This is pretty ironic, because I spend a great deal of time on this forum pointing out the game's faults.) So yeah, you can easily spend an enormous amount of time in Oblivion. Of course, that's highly dependent on you're liking Oblivion. If you get bored after 15 hours, well, then you're not going to get 200 hours out of it. If you do like it, there's a nearly-endless amount of content in the game. Even with 300 hours (296 on my Xfire) on my PC character, I have yet to do many of the quests.

well, i personally dont have the game, but in most RPGs, you can get as much out it as you want. It MIGHt be possible to blaze through it in 20 some hours, but then you'd miss out on a whole lot. Halo 3 and other games are (kind of) like that too, since there are hidden places and stuff to collect.

@palantas

Im sorry but 500 hours now you must have tons of free time.

LOL

YES.

Oblivion really does take over 200 hours to complete, that is, if you do everything in the game, then download all of the extra content like I did. Shivering Isles alone took me around 50-60 hours.

I have done every side quest in every town, and bought every house.

When you do this, you end up at 307 hours.

Buy the game. Enjoy the game. It is well worth it.

I hit right up to about 180 hours before I stopped playing.

i have a suggestion to help you figure this out. When you get the game buy nine days worth of energy drinks and pizza and play the game non-stop. If by the end of that nine day period, there are still things to do in the game then your answer is yes. If not well, you had a blast destroying you stomach lining and gaining15 pounds of fatdlip328

Amen to that!

I did every quest that I could find and think that I ended up with about 180 hours or so. I am not sure if it will be that long for everyone, but you definately get your money's worth out of that game.
