Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is the best game i have ever played. It follows a similar concept to morrowind, a previous Elder Scrolls game, which i never beat because i got a 360. You have the major skills and the minor skills, leveling your major skills levels your character. I really enjoyed this aspect of the gameplay, especially if you create your own class, because it really made it like real life. You learn things and you grow as you learn them. There are A LOT of quests and you don't have to do the main quest line right away, which i also liked because it gives you a freedom and you don't feel restricted to doing something you don't really feel liking doing at that time. Before i finished the main quest line i beat two guild quest lines mages and assasins guilds, and the arena quest line before beating the main quest line. Theres an array of exstensive dungeons to explore and the game really never gets easy because it adjusts to your level which i thought was very innovative. Having just beat the game i can tell you that the ending to the story line is fulfilling enough but it makes you go, uh...WTF. Quests aside the customization of your character is emmense although you usually just pick the strongest armour or weapons. Making spells is a pain because to make really good spells you need to be a master in whatever school the spell your making is under or its a crap spell. The NPC's are very well done as you walk past them in the streets they notice you and say hello, have conversations with eachother sometimes even fight eachother. Ounce you get attached to some of them and then a quest makes you kill them you actually feel bad which is hard to do. I can't wait to continue my journey in Cyrodill by getting Knights of the Nine and The Shivering Isles expansions furthering my experience. From my point of view I say this game is perfect best game i have ever played. Four thumbs up, i highly recommend it. Go buy it. Right now. Do it.
