Im thinking of buying oblivio but is it still worth it? Ive been looking for a real good deap hacknslash fantasy game and oblivion nails it. Should I get the GOTY edition or just buy the regular and buy shivering isles on the store.

But the reason It is holdin gme back is cause of this glitch im hearing that is inevitable and cant be avoided. Upon completeing quests you get to it and I heard it ruins your game. Is it true? What is this glitch? How do I prevent it?

Just buy the GOTY edition because you'll end up paying much more if you want the expansions for it.

The GOTY version has a glitch in it that prevents you from getting the cure for vampirism. As long as you keep that from happening, or curing it as soon as you are bitten it shouldn't matter but otherwise that character is pretty much stuck as a vampire (which has it's advantages and disadvantages).

It doesn't matter if you do the quest or not. If you get bitten by a vampire and don't manage to cure it in time you're pretty much screwed.

[spoiler] ..............I believe it is when you do the dark brother hood quest and one of the leaders will ask if you want to be a Vampire,just say no.Or live with being a vamp the rest of the game.Trust me,at first it is so damn cool.But when it comes to doing some of the quest that are in the day time.It sucks so much.

Buy it, it's still the best RPG in my books. If you want Oblivion + the other 2 expansions for a low price then I suggest the GOTY edition.

I know from experience what you should do.
Buy the regular and rent GOTY for the installs... You can even return the GOTY edition right after you finish installing and rent a different game.mjk_1
That actually is a very good idea.I never thought of that.Cheap,yet effective,

In order to become a vampire, you need to get attacked by one. When you do you may not necessarily get the disease, but when you do youll notice a message that says you contracted a virus. From that point you have 3 days to cure your disease before you become a vampire. So its pretty easy to avoid becoming one. Also if you do choose to become one you can always save your game in a different slot and test it out.

I would like to point to the following review:

RPG codex oblivion review

It gives a tohrough summary of all the gameplay elements and odd game design decisions that make up this game and supports all his claim with arguments and quotations from in game events.


Basicly if you are looking for a massive world to explore and hack and slash your way through this might be the game for you. if you are looking for a RPG you are better off looking somewhere else as it gives none of the player interaction and immersion the genre is known for
