Long-lasting fun
Many different races.. Lots of class.. Even which starsign you wish to have. Every race, class etc. gives your character an identity, and better abilities. You can also join guilds and get jobs and newer abilities.
I joined the thieves guild - lead by the gray fox that nobody know who is. I fight, sneak and steal to make sure my guild can survive the constant thread from the guards who wish to catch The Gray Fox and everyone in the Thieves' Guild.
You really get to live into your character and feel the pressure of fighting, the sweat of picking a lock etc.
The main quest is actually to find the killer of the emperor, but I've totally forgotten all about it. I enjoy getting jobs from my guild, and can't really leave. This way, the game never really ends, because you don't have to follow a certain path. I've been gaming for more than 24 hours, and I've only just begun. I haven't even started doing my REAL quests yet..
I can only come up with examples how good a game this is - no negatives.. You will need a rather good comp though. Because it really needs a lot of rescources, but can your comp take the pressure - and can you - then this is just the game for you.
50 Dollars is not much when you consider how long lasting this game can be. Many games, you finish in maybe a week.. But not this one.. And even if you do finish the game, you can always start over with a new character, cause the game will change totally this way..
Enjoy: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Best of luck to you all
