I spelled that wrong. Should read: "I HATE Oblivion. I HATE Oblivion."
This game takes boredom to an epic scale. I've never played any game so boring. Huge maps, billions of side quests, and the freedom to go anywhere and do any of it in any order, but all of it so very very BLAND. Imagine being offered a bowl of unflavoured yogurt. Bleh, sez you. Yes, well. This game is an Olympic-sized swimming pool filled with it. Dive in! they say. Sample any of this tasteless goop, anywhere! Deep end, shallow end, stride jump, swan dive - it's up to you!
The lock-pick minigame drove me CRAZY before I googled for an unlock cheat, so what's the point of that? I fell asleep during melee a couple of times, I think, due to sheer klunky repetetiveness - slash bang slash bang bang slash slash bang - oh, it's dead. There were, like, two voice actors doing the voices for all the dullard NPCs, so everyone sounded the same. And looked like goober doughballs too. I took the lizard race just because it was the prettiest. Oh, and the books. The books! The rambling, pointless 25 page books written by 8th grade Dragonlance wanna-bes.
The irony was, in a gameworld that advertised I could do anything, I couldn't slay myself.
Oblivion, meet Recycling Bin.

Hey I like Oblivion. Really nice, I didn't like the lockpick minigame or the persuasion minigame. Never really got those, didn't really matter.
Elder scrolls is all about the sidequests, that's what great about it.
Well, it wasn't all bad. But I figured, for something that was likely to suck 100+ hours of my life away, I'd better be more than thrilled.
I love D&D based RPGs, though. Looking forward to NWN 2!
I'm looking forward to some RPG games on the XBOX360, Mass Effect etc.
Looks like Joanna might loose me whilst I play.
Against morrowind its crap!!! some good new things but a lot more things were taken away, spells weapons and the worst thing was the fact when you procidet to a higher level you suddenly only find daedric stuff!!!! even the most miserable road badit attacks you with a full daedric armor??? in morrowind Ãt was realy nice to find glass ebony or high stuff but oblivion i just dumped glass ebony even daedric after 1 hauer of lvl 20 play.In morrowind tere is in think only 2 HOWL DAEDRIC SETS!!
And the cheapest thing is the vapirism there are no clans you can join?neither will they talk to you...The peaple look like drunkards!! make morrowind in that grafics and il buy a bethesda stuff again. Gruß aus Deutschland

I didn't like it either. It got old fast. I've never played a game that was so buggy. And as far as I know it's only been patched once. So it's like they threw on a band aid and went about their merry way, making official mods to sell to us at the disappointing cost of $2-10, and then there are expansions to buy on top of those. It's a shame. It had a lot of potential. I'm not going to get into how poorly made the character models were. The environment was mind blowing, but the npcs all require a heavy dose of eye bleach. All that said, the daedric shrine quests are the best quests I have ever had the pleasure embarking on in any game. Sheogorath's shrine in particular took it right out of me XD He's such a nut.
