Excellent done game, tough I would love a story less repetitive and that "je ne sais quoi" wich makes you love
Oblivion's developpers done everything in this game almost perfect from the point of view of graphical details and the technical solutions. Unfortunately, this perfection is hauling down the game a little bit, in my oppinion. The world of Tamriel is very beautiful, it's almost perfect but I cannot fall in love of it like it happened, for example, with Arcadia world from The Longest Journey Series. All the cities are superbly created, but, I always had the feeling that something was missing. All the streets, the houses are so perfect that you won't find any distress, drab districts, dirt, domestic animals, etc likely to be found in an medieval town. Towns are missing the charm, the scent, the music and the vivacity of the medieval towns. All the inhabitants are all well dressed, have a lot of good manners and all of them don't move when you are talking with them. They seems to be all strangely nice even when you are waking them at 3 a.m. in the morning. The diallogues are poor realised, I didn't find any motivation to start a conversation with any of the characters in the game, unless I had to. They all seems to be the same. I found more interesting, more disturbing, the Oblivion Wastes world. Unfortunately, all the levels after entering on the Oblivion Gates are pretty much the same. Once you have closed 2 Oblivion gates, you won't have the motivation to close another one. This way, the main story is pretty much repetitive. The additional quests are many and more diversely. Personally, I haven't found much reward after finishing the additional quest.
The sound is great in the game. Excellet symphonic music and especially superb battle music will be found in the game.
Asside from some weird script issues (for example, when I found the 2 missing sons of an old man, shortly after their returning home, they all started to yell at me to leave their house, otherwise the'll call the guards, culminating with the memorably -in his stupidity- moment, close to the end of the game, when triumphant returning with Martin, the new king, to be crownned in the Imperial City, I was arrested from a guard on the way there, and the king waited me outside prison until I fulfilled my sentence), the game is incredibly well done, close to perfection. But, except the beautiful mornings and the snow in the Jerall Mountains, it is a cold, perfect world, you will like it and admire it, but you cannot love it. Despite this, is still a great game to play by almost any kind of gamer.
