The Bottom Line:

"Amazing"

This game allows you to immerse yourself in the world of Oblivion, and there is 100+ hours of gameplay beyond the main storyline. From the four guilds in the game ( Fighters', Mages', Assassins', and Thieves' guild's), the Shivering Isles Expansion which adds another 10+ hours of gameplay on it's own, the Knights of the Nine faction which allows you to fight a corrupt god, and all the other quests, dungeons and exploring there is to do.

So with all this freedom, it is somewhat ironic that the game starts you off in a jail. Your first quest is to get out. The Emperor of Cyrodiil arrives in your cell and tells you that you were placed in the cell by divine intervention, and tells you to follow him out.

In the Dungeon you choose your class. There is of course the basic mage, warrior and rogue type classes but there is also many more. "Spellsword" combines different magic types with blade skill for a good offensive class. "Knight" Combines Melee skills, heavy armour and healing magic for a character with great survivability.

Once you leave the Dungeon, you step out to the beautiful world of Cyrodiil. Lakes, forests, and many different cities which each have unique quests and people.

The game has very good graphics. Standing on a high mountain you see amazing detail in the land below you. From most parts of cyrodiil you can see the White Gold Tower: A huge tower in the Imperial City built by elfs many years ago.

So RPG fan or not, you will love oblivion. The game has over 200 hours of gameplay in it, and every day you will see something new. 10/10
