Oblivions rocked. Simple.
Lots of choices. Big plus. I can be an archer, a thief, a warrior, a battlemage, a regular mage, a healer mage, a barbarian. You can also customize your class, and with how I did it, I came out with interesting character combinations. I made a death knight in one play through who was a powerhouse who used destructive spells to damage his enemys armor/health. I made an assassin who could use invisibility spells to come up and kill you from behind in one hit, even IF your in ebony armor (no one hit kills fighting a fully daedric armored character :sad
.
The guilds, they each have there own history and depth. The Mage Guild isn't simply a place mages go to to sling spells. They go there to learn magic, to have comrades in arms who understand them, and to learn knowledge. Though some of the storys sucked (The Dark Brotherhood. Your ending sucked. Terribly), they still are fun little side quests. I espically loved the Fighters Guild and the Thieves Guild questline.
The story? Epic. I loved it. I was honestly sad when Martin sacrificed himself to save Tamriel. Once you get into it, even though every character sounds alike, you can honestly make friends. Martin, Jaufree, Baurus, The Gray Fox, each of these characters I felt came to LIFE!!! Even the Arena Fan who you wanted to decapitate everytime he respawned to annoy you felt alive.
The armor and weapons? Ill. I loved the sytem. They were nice. However, I hated the helmets. They felt really ugly and I hated to wear them. Except the Daedric helm. It was epic.
The leveling system? For the character, they were ill. For the bandits and stuff, not so much. Bandits were made to be BANDITS!!! They don't have access to freakin' daedric and glass armor. They don't have millions of gold to spend like I do because Im a BA adventurer.
While I'm talking about enemys, they were cool. They were fun to fight and they looked awsome. I loved fighting liches and the undead. Those made my day. They however, didn't prove much of a challenge. Unless you were on the hardest difficulty. When they were hitting 400 every attack and it was overkill. On you.
The additional content? Very nice. I loved Sheogorath in The Shivering Isles. He was one funny dude. Buy the extra content if you have Oblivion because talking to him is hilarious.
The voice talent? Nice. I just hated that everytime I talked to an Orc was that they sounded THE SAME AS A NORD!!!! COME ON!!!!! If you can get people to voice an Orc, get somebody else to voice the Nord. Come on Bethesda.
The music? Ill. I don't need to explain it. Listen to it yourself and you'll agree.
The visuals? Like art. It's awsome. I could stare out from Dive Rock and look at Tamriel forever.
My rating? I gave it a 9/10. Some of the game parts sucked, some of em ruled. I loved the game. I also loved it's predecessors. They were epic. The game should be called the Epic Scrolls because thats what the game is. Epic.
