Oblivion builds upon the strengths of its predecessor, and fixes most of the problems in Morrowind.
User Rating: 10 | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion PC
I spent many hours playing The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, and found it to be one of the most thoroughly enjoyable experiences in my gaming history. The fact that it was so open ended meant that every return to the game almost always promised something new. I never got bored with the game, because if I wanted to, I could start an entirely new adventure with a completely new character. The newest incarnation, Oblivion, gives the user an entirely new set of challenges and adventures to embark on, plus a complete graphical overhaul. The landscapes are simply beautiful, it is a pleasure to simply look at things, and take in the artistry and sophistication of this fantasy world. The characters look great, and the level of control that is given during character creation is impressive. The animation is very good, battles feel much more visceral than in the previous game, and it is more satisfying; when you swing a sword at an enemy, you always hit him/her, instead of a random chance of hitting like in Morrowind. As for the story, there is now a much more focused main quest that is much more engaging than in Morrowind. The story is stronger and better explained as well. The voice acting is very good, although sometimes, the characters seem to change voices slightly depending on their responses to certain topics, but it is nothing obvious enough to be distracting. There are so many good things to say about this game, and very little negative, so I give this game a strong recommendation.
