Its not game of the year, its game of the decade.
Your freed when your cell turns out to be a secret passage for the king which is used to escape from his assasins. Sadly they catch up and kill him and you get left with the amulet of kings which you must deliver to the rightful heir.
So thats the introduction and after a quick tutorial introduceing you to combat and quests youll be let loose in one of the massive worlds the elder scrolls series is famous for. And its not just poorley detailed jungles either. Theyre are plenty of citys and both differant and interesting caves for you to raid. The people or monsters youll be encountering in the cave aren't stupid either, infact the AI in this game is unbelieveably good. Charecters will sleep at night, close shops, use food to survive, be superb in combat and they all sound realistic thanks to some brilliant voice acting
.
Now the thing you probably notice first in a game is the graphics, for some games thats a bad thing as the graphics aren't up to scratch but oblivions are beautiful. What good would beautiful graphics be if they were never showed theyre true power, well the answer to this question doesn't matter because they are constantly being pushed in all the hundreds of quests and the effects are breathtaking.
So if you can't afford to many games for your system then buy this game, it will entertain you for hundreds of hours and remind you why you love gameing so much. Now all we need is a morrowind remake and i can live infront of my screen forever :D.
