Oblivion is not quite what it should be. It should be epic, but certain things prevent this. There is NOTHING fun to do besides quests and exploring dungeons. Two, I bought this game hoping to be imerssed into a beautifull landscape, but as it turns out, this game is extremelly unimerssive, and while some things in the game look great, other things look horrible making a Crysis on medium effect but much, much worse. Cities are pretty nice through and through, but take a step outside and you may not stay for long. Up close the game is bearable, but the worst thing is the ground. While this may not seem like a big thing, it is, there is a reason the game has so much grass, its to obscure the disgusting N64'ish green and brown medley that calls itself the ground. But the grass does not even appear until up close! And the grass is not the only thing that make you believe you are near-sighted, no, If you are far enough you are likely to be staring at a treeless, wasteland. The developpers tried to hide this effect by putting way too many hills that obcure your site like they did with the grass. If that was not enough here is numeber 3, There is no diversity in the land. As mentioned its all hills and you never think to yourself, here is a place that stands out. Number four, combat could have been better, basic combat formula= slash, slash, block then repeat, or for mages, magic, magic, run away and repeat. And the big number five, the storyline is sooo horrible and uneventfull you feel no motivation to see what will happen next, which is mostly why the game is unimmersive. All things said, the game is not as bad as i just made it seem, even though everything i said was true, there is more that will draw your attention to its better side. Such as its realism, if you break the law you are punished, you can enter any house using a picklock, you can persuade people to get better deals when buying or selling, you can bet on a match at the colisseum or enter yourself, buy a house, assassinate people, become a vampire, create a potion or spell, enchant your weapons, steal absolutely anything of the counter in some guys house while he is asleep and alot more. The reason I gave Oblivion a 9.5 is because I have the game of the year edition which contains both the expantion packs. Oblivion alone is 7.5/10 regardless of its huge flaws, because its still fun to live your life the way you want to, ignore the main quest and do a bunch of side quests instead!
