Nope, the only other RPG I really liked before Oblivion was Fable, and I didn't even finish it. So really Oblivion was my first big RPG, and I played 165 hours so far without doing any sidequests in the SI expansion pack.

Yes, because its cached

BUT, do this (I gather the info from your other topics)

Get GRAW 2or Vegas THEN HDD THEN Oblivion

It doesn't hurt to be an RPG fan to like Oblivion, 'cause it has a lot of RPG aspects that might be a hassle for non-RPG fans, like micromanaging, equipping/repairing weapons & armor, leveling up, talking to people, etc. But if you take a character that is simple (less magic) and specializes more in fighting, the combat is some of the best FPS melee combat you'll see in any game. It also has a huge campaign, awesome graphics, a huge world, good downloadable expansions and a lot of player freedom. I think for someone who's not used to RPG's, it's a matter of keeping it simple and getting used to things slowly, but it's definitely already a 360 classic worth giving a try.

Oblivion is a lot friendlier to the more casual RPG player than morrowind.

But probably less friendly than, say, Fable or even KOTOR.

??? It has real-time combat and is not party-based, but I hope that doesn't prevent it from being an RPG. If so, KOTOR, Morrowindand Fable aren't RPG's, probably along with a bunch of others. In Oblivion, you are playing a role, picking your path continuously and customizing your character continuously. Turn-based combat and party systems don't make RPG's--they were just part of a few important RPG's. One argument is that, "okay, that makes games like GTA, Silent Hill and Deus Ex RPG's."Well,they sure have picked up a few RPG elements as games are generally getting more complex, but the line has to be drawn somewhere. Oblivion is on the RPG side of the line. Unless you're into JRPG's, I guess!:D

To really enjoy Oblivion you need a crapload of mods. So you'll also need a PC that can run it.

I'm a huge FPS fan, JRPG fan, and Oblivion fan. (I have over 900 achievement points in Gears, Enchanted Arms, PSU, and Oblivion)

However, Oblivion is not for everyone. Many people get bored with it. More people get addicted to it. Although there is a plot, it's easy to go off the path and some people get bored since the story stalls a bit.

it isn't like the typical rpg. The main story is actually VERY short. You can probably beat the main quest in a matter of a few hours using an invisibility spell.

Anyway the game is mostly dungeon crawling. You can be a brute and smash everything or you can hide in the shadows and shoot from a distance with a bow. The story takes place in short (less than 5 mins) dialogues whenever you turn in a quest/ask for another one.

To make up for the ridiculously short main story theres 4 other guilds you can join and do quests for. This is the part you'll need to be somewhat of an rpg nut to finish since i imagine someone who dislikes rpgs will probably have no motivation to do these extra quests. Anyway hope it helped.

Not really because it is not a traditional RPG, its an action rpg and its really fun, Its a lot like GTA in some ways as you can run around in a big open ended world and do pretty much whatever, you can do main quest, side quest, other stuff, you can kill random people, steal from random people and its almost like your not playing an RPG. But like all RPGs there is a level grind so enjoy that.

If you care a lot about the single player yes you will. It's not the single player's bad, the single player is fantastic at some points, but it's also EXTREMELY easy and EXTREMELY short. If I went back through it right now I could probably get it done in under 3 hours. The multiplayer is where it's at in GRAW 2, it has some really good co op modes that are lots of fun to try and complete, and plenty of options for versus and solo matches. Only thing is there's no co op through the main story, just through separate maps kind of like Rainbow Six's Terrorist Hunt mode.

If you want great single player along with great multiplayer then get Rainbow Six Vegas, if you hate bullet lag and don't care about how long the single player is, get GRAW 2.

I am not a big RPG fan. I have played some in the past but generally I just don't get into them much. Oblivion was different though. It grabbed me in and I put so many hours into the game. You definitely don't need to be a"RPG freak" to enjoy the game, speaking from personal experiance.

That's because JRPGs are not really RPGs.. For many reasons.. one being that you can't create your own character.
