Should i buy Oblivion to get ready for Mass Effect?

Im not heavily into rpg's,like the final fantasy type of rpgs, but i am interested in Mass Effect type games were your incontrol of your character, and i was wondering if Oblivion was a good game to get to get me ready for Mass Effect.

what you guys think ?

If you have a lot of time to put into oblivion then get it. I made the mistake of buying it, not thinking that I only play games for 1 to 2 hours per night at most. So I  progressed slowly and lost interest because I didn't have the time to put into it. Amazing graphics and annoying load times and lots of content  sum up my opinion of oblivion.

well the main reason im so excited for mass effect, is because of its setting

oblivion is a great game and complete rpg and all, but i get swayed from it due to it being set in the stone age

i dont know why you would need to play oblivion to get "readY" as mass effect is comming out in like a month

just wait for your rpg fix, and no i dont think you will like oblivions combat

yah it does kinda look to like back in the dat like stone age days ,,but MASS EFFCECT WOW,that game looks to amazing

Lemme put it this way. If you get Oblivion, you don't need other RPGs. You have THE ultimate RPG in your possession.JediMoogle

until mass effect comes out that is!
