About

Oblivion is the fourth part of the acclaimed The Elder Scrolls series. It is set in the high fantasy world of Tamriel, in the Septim Empire. The emperor was recently killed along with his sons, except one that was hidden far from the capital. Before he died, the emperor gave his Amulet of Kings to the protagonist, a prisoner whom the emperor believed to be a future hero he saw in dreams.
The main character is fully customizable. His or her character class race, gender, age and other attributes are chosen by the player. His quest is to escape prison and find the royal heir. However, since the game is open-world, the player may abandon the central storyline and just wander around Tamriel. You can complete a variety of side quests, join various guilds and factions, or just fight monsters to gain experience. There's an option of "fast travel" that allows you to instantly move to an already discovered location.
Game of the Year Edition also contains two expansion packs: Shivering Isles and the Knights of the Nine that expand the game’s storyline. The packs introduce several new locations, two additional factions (the Court of Madness and Knights of the Nine), and a number of new armor, weapons and other items.

Oblivion is my absolute Favorite from the Elder Scrolls franchise. Compared to Morrowind and Skyrim, Oblivion performs best. Morrowind is even more of a hardcore Role-playing game. It has a Lot of Corners and Edges. Skyrim feels like an Amusement Park. The Attractions are really beaten around your Ears. In my Opinion, Oblivion finds the optimal Mediocrity. There are hardly any Corners and Edges, the Gameplay seems fluid and pleasant. Nevertheless, you have to work out a lot and you don't get it presented on the Silver Platter.

Still a good Game. However, you can also see how it's been in the Years. The Graphics are outdated and the Mission Design is also rather boring. Only exploring is fun as it used to Be. If the Game is on Offer, you can buy it. But everyone should be aware that it's more Nostalgia. With the Passage of Time and also by Comparing better Genre Cousins like Witcher 3 and even Skyrim, you should be realistic and see this Game more as a Foray into the Past. If you are looking for a real Open world Game, you are better served with Witcher 3 and Skyrim. Thank you for the fond Memories of Oblivion.

Oblivion Hardly a game has already captivated me on other platforms (like on the Xbox 360). The World, the Characters and Atmosphere make it an eternal Classic in this Genre. Although Conversations and/or Dialogues are not as sophisticated as with many other Games, not to mention the Graphics, it is after all from 2006. Thus, any Comparisons can be "clapped" directly into the Barrel! Vielside Skills. (For That time) very nice Details in terms of Graphics/Logos/Characters of Spells, Embellishments on Shield and Armor or Handles of your own Sword. The Story is not the Longest, but it didn't disappoint me and never dragged on very long. Varied Tasks, Mystical ones .. oh damn .. Excused... I meant * Mythical Cults and conspicuted within familiar Factions. Thanks to Bethesda for this wonderful Experience!

I've been playing Oblivion on the PS3 since 2007 and I've loved it for Minute one! Now I have finally bought it for the PC and can try the rest DLC. Back to the Game, Oblivion is by far one of the best games ever and will remain so for many years to come thanks to its still beautiful graphics, good And funny Quests, as well As a gripping story and its world that has been captivating Since then. I can recommend the Game to anyone who is not disassociated with Magic and mystical Creatures towards the Middle Ages and even if this will change quickly! (Dragons are unfortunately only available through the Console, if you want them which you can get hold Of Skyrim, this is also a very good Game of The Elder Scrolls series and takes up a few new Elements that don't exist in Oblivion.) One has to:) for every The Elder Scrolls Fan and, of course, everyone else 12/10 Points and have Fun playing!
