Simply the best Elder Scrolls game since Morrowind.

If you are looking for an RPG in which you can do anything you want, don't deny this game anymore. Get out and buy it. Of course, be sure you have a system that can run it at high settings smoothly for an amazing experience. The game takes place in the Imperial province of Cyrodill. It is definitely the largest, a lot of forests have grown in it (Morrowind consisted mainly of desert), and normally it wouldn't be wise to wander in them unprepared. Keep in mind that this game was meant to be played in a first person perspective, it is possible to play in third person but it is just not the same when it comes to the skill of marksmanship (bow and arrow). You can do many things in Oblivion, even steal from houses late at night. Pretty much anything you can do in real life (of course if it's illegal you can easily end up in jail, which also happens in oblivion), you can choose to be evil, good, a thief, a murderer, a warrior, etc... Basically demons are invading Cyrodill and it's your job to retrieve the Amulet of Kings (A powerful magical gem) that was stolen from your previously assassinated emperor, in order to return it to his son and crown him emperor and light the dragon fires, thus shutting or crumbling any oblivion gateway in Tamriel (the world of he Elder Scrolls). Unfortunately if you don't get it back in time, an evil sorcerer dedicated to the demons and their god, Lord Dagon (A very powerful demon lord), will use it to bring Lord Dagon upon Tamriel, and that's not good news. The only way to stop the invasion is to light the dragon fires using the Amulet of Kings, so that's basically the main story. The game will not end if you complete it though, there are over 200 quests (if you install the expansion pack, Shivering Isles, or any of it's official plug ins) in which you fight creatures other than demons (undead, ogres, minotaurs, goblins, etc...) and in which you can enhance your players skills and raise his level. When you have a high enough level you can get the best of gear in order to battle much stronger monsters. Oblivion is a must have to anyone who loves RPGs, especially The Elder Scrolls. Fans of Dagger Fall now have something to dedicate their lives to (Be warned, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion is highly capable of ruining your social life, so I would advise a timer whilst playing). Have fun playing this great example of graphics, game-play and value. 10/10, that about should say it all.
