Finally new RPG - I was concerned about the length of the game and text being too long - don't be.

I almost passed up Oblivion because I doubted I'd ever be able to finish it. I still don't know if I'll finish it, but the many quests and engine make the game so it's not soo much about finishing a global quest. Unlike some past rpgs I've played this one has many quests that are worthwhile several games I played only the main quest was worthwhile Oblivion doesn't make such a mistake. So you can play the game a little at a time and still have a blast and accomplish some tasks.
I was also concerned about it having hundreds of pages of text, well that's only if you choose to read informational books throughout the land not at all necessary or even beneficial (aside from educational). Granted there are a few books that add a skill but you get that as soon as you open the book - no need to flip thru every page or read it.
The huge scope scared me, thankfully no other rpgs were out at the time so I gave it a shot and I love it. I've spent 42 hours in the game so far and much to my surprise still am wanting more.
I highly recommend this game for RPG fans don't let the bigness of it frighten you. Cya I'm off to play it some more.
