Oblivion is truly a game that gives back the more you put in.
User Rating: 9.5 | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion PS3
Okay, I'll be honest, I returned Oblivion when I first played it. In the beginning, you feel powerless and overwhelmed. The world is ****ing huge, so I had no idea where to go, I didn't understand anything about the mechanics, and I hated the people. I was lost. Yet I picked it up for the PS3 and my God...310 hours later I am still hooked. This game is massive, amazing, innovative, and let's face it...erotic. The beautifully crafted leveling system is hard to grasp at first, but once you realize that the more you use each skill the better your character gets at it, you start to have loads of fun. There are hundreds of quests in every city with their own moral choices and rewards, tons of different factions for you to join ranging from the noble Fighter's Guild to the sneaky and mysterious Dark Brotherhood, or assassin's guild. The characters are real and deep (save a few random moments) and add immensely to the game. Every bit of dialogue is spoken so you will not have to read for yourself. There are amazing details in all of the homes and caves and dungeons that will boggle the mind. Truly this game is a masterpiece. The more you play Oblivion, the more you will get out of it. And if you opt to purchase the expansion, The Shivering Isles, you will get even more amazing gear and get to experience a totally different world. Best of all, its like $30 so anyone should be able to buy it, and you won't have to play another game for months (except until Metal Gear Solid 4 of course) All I can say is this game is amazing in every aspect and should not be missed by any lover of RPGS.
