Loads of Quests Aug 02, 2010 I played Morrowind and Tribunal years ago when those games came out, but some years passed during which I did not play any games at all. Finding myself with some free time this summer, I took up Morrowind again and enjoyed it, which led me to look into Oblivion. What struck me immediately is how different Oblivion is from the earlier games. In many respects, it is much easier. For example, Oblivion allows "fast travel" from any referenced point on your map, whereas Morrowind allows teleportation only from Mages Guilds. In addition, quests in Oblivion are marked on your map, which gives you a clear path to each quest goal. Way easier than Morrowind/Tribunal. And once you reach level 12, the enemies you must dispatch are really not very difficult. It's as though your character levels up whereas the enemies do not.
In other respects, however, Oblivion is far harder than the earlier games. It's possible to level up fairly quickly in Morrowind, and it's also fairly easy to locate or purchase top drawer weapons and armor. Not so in Oblivion. Leveling up takes ages, and even if you are a very aggressive player who has completed major quests, such as defeating the evil Dagon, getting above level 15 is a challenge. Whereas in Morrowind one can loot treasuries and sell the booty to the Mud Crab and have nearly a million in gold very quickly, the opportunities for becoming rich in Oblivion are . . . well . . . nearly nonexistent. Getting good armor and weapons requires patience . . . and a willingness to get killed over and over and over and over. Restore health potions are very expensive, moreover, which makes the problem of obtaining money even more significant. During battles, you cannot change weapons, and magic weapons lose their charge very quickly, making them ineffective against most of the magically spawned demons that you have to fight. Getting such weapons recharged at a Mages Guild is astonishingly expensive, which takes me back again to the difficulty in getting gold coin. Saving key game points, therefore, is even more crucial in Oblivion than it is in most other games. Many quests involve puzzles that are not easy to figure out, and if you are not a patient player, it's easy to become frustrated with the game. I suppose I fall into that category, for I found that I could not advance without using the cheats available through the console.
The enegizer bunny of video games Jul 25, 2010 Oblivion is one of the most visually appealing games I have played. There are so many quests and challenges, so many different ways to play, I have never been bored. And, if that isn't enough, there are tons of mods available that add quests, change the look and play of the game, and add or change items. This game just goes on forever!
Game of the Year for a good reason Jul 25, 2010 Even though this game is a few years old, it still delivers. The story line is original, and the interface is fairly easy to use. Some of the characters are a little flat, but that is to be expected in a game of this magnitude. The first person view really puts you in the action, but the camera can pull back to over-the-shoulder or full third person, and anywhere in between. The expansion packs are a great addition as well, especially after you've played through the main story and conquered all the dungeons, but still want more. The side quests are interesting and engaging, and it is not necessary to play them in order or in tandem with the main quests. There are also cheats and shortcuts for those that like to do things the easy way(like me). There are hundreds of hours of gameplay available, so needless to say, my wife hates it. All in all, this is a fantastic single player fantasy RPG, and I thoroughly enjoyed every sword swinging minute.
Oblvion Game of the Year Jul 13, 2010 Of all of the RPGs I've played, Oblivion is certainly one of the best. Don't get me wrong, it has its problems. But the graphics and the sheer amount of content alone is enough to make up for just about all of these. Oblivion is fantastic for first time RPers because its interface is simple to use and it pretty much spells out everything for you. The fast travel system is very convenient for those of us who remember Morrowind and having to trek all across the landscape just to find some well-hidden cave in the middle of a blighted mountain. And if you don't want to fast travel, the landscape has enough depth that you can explore it without getting tunnel vision.
The main quest is fairly in-depth, yet still easy enough that any new comer could navigate through it. While most of the guild quests could do with a little fleshing out, there are enough of them to keep you occupied for several more hours. There are also plenty of side quests to complete, and a ton of little secrets to find if you feel like investigating the in-game world hard enough.
The Game of the Year Edition offers both the Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine add ons. Shivering Isles is like another main quest in and of itself. It offers hours of gameplay and an entire new world to explore, every bit as in-depth as the original one. Knights of the Nine is a nice little distraction if you're stuck on some other quest and adds a ton of benefits to your character if you complete it.
There are a few bugs to work through, but luckily the official patch fixes most of them. The voice acting is in need of a huge overhaul, and gets incredibly annoying at times, but can be ignored once you get used to it. Another annoying detail is the constant popping up of quest dialog boxes that tell you where to go at each turn. While useful for extremely inexperienced players, it does tend to get tiresome after you've become comfortable with the game.
That's where the benefit of the PC version comes in. While the console versions are great, the PC version has the option of being modded. There is a mod out there to change just about every aspect of the game, and most of them are fairly easy to install and manage. Oblivion has a great support community out there of people who are willing to help you out with any problems you have and guide you through your modding process, and gameplay in general. While the PC version has some pretty hefty operating requirements, it's certainly worth the hassle in order to be able to create a game entirely to your own liking.
If you're looking for a game that's enjoyable and immersive, Oblivion GOTY is a good pick, whether it's on the PC or console.
Oblivion and Shivering Isles Jun 27, 2010 This is one of the greatest games ever made. I ordered it and expected arrival in about a week. I think it arrived in two days. It was bought used, but was in great condition and could have passed for new. I am very happy with the seller and the game itself. Both exceeded my expectations!
