MasterWork

This is one of the best computer games ever. It is a MasterWork, a game the fulfills the vision of a company that knew where it was going, but just now has the horse power to get there. The character creation, the ability to choose to do or not do anything. I once was so lost in this game that I thought after finishing a quest I felt as if I had been at sea, it took me a few seconds to realize I was just sitting in front of a computer screen, the immersion is that deep. Try a Redguard Barbarian and enjoy this game!

free form gameplay gaoe

This game is so amazingly beautiful and fun to play! It really is quite addictive, and will give you many hours of pleasure. It's really good that you can just travel around at your own pace, and choose which quests you would like to follow and complete.

Make sure, though, that you have a powerful graphics card.

With minimal problems, this game has sucked away weeks of my life. In three points, here are the best things about this game:
1) Non-linear. You can choose to play the game as you want without worrying about the game coming to an end without you.

2) Role-playing system. Different enough to be unique from other systems (D20, e.g.) but similar enough and easy enough to switch into smoothly.

3) Gameplay. Fune and engaging, though the non-linear style takes a little away from the need to finish a quest, leaving you to want to do so.

Small bugs and annoyances, like having to follow NPCs to quests halfway around the world sometimes, and NPCs jumping in your line of fire.
All around great game, 9.5 out of 10.

Excellent Game

The best role playing computer game I have ever played. If you buy this game just make sure you don't want to leave your computer screen for hours at a time. Once you start playing it is very hard to stop.

Incredible. That is Oblivion.

After months of playing I'm finally back from the world of Oblivion. A good title for a game since after starting I became oblivious to everything around me. The graphics were amazing. I loved standing in a field watching the wind blowing across fields of grain. Several interesting story lines and many side actitives kept me engrossed longer than any other game I've played. My family welcomed me back after my quests, not fully understanding where I had been, but it was worth the trip.

All things considered, one of the best PC games in history

There are plenty of do-your-own-thing style games out there, but none of them offers a world as large, detailed, and beautiful as Oblivion. If you're a gamer like me, then the thing that keeps you playing a game is some kind of purpose beyond getting stronger and richer. Oblivion delivers big time in this regard with an innumerable number of quests to be gotten from countless unique and believable NPCs. And I'm not talking about the typical fantasy style quest, which is to say the "Kill X number of Y monster, then I'll reward you with Z gold (... World of Warcraft ...), which gets boring fast.

These quests are short plotlines in themselves and Bethesda did not skimp in thinking them through. They're all different and interesting. Sometimes involving fighting through mobs, sometimes using your persuasive skills, they can be scary, challenging, and sometimes very funny. Of dozens upon dozens of quests I've completed, I count exactly ONE instance where the objective was to kill a certain number of monsters and then return for your reward. And because it was the only one, it almost seems like it was included as a joke by the developers.

And all this is in addition to a highly interesting and exciting main plot with a deep storyline and fantastic voice acting.

And as far as graphics go. Breathtaking. You better have the hardware if you want to get the most out of this game. But you'll appreciate it when you're stalking a deer through the tall, blowing grass while trees sway in the wind above you and the setting sun washes the mountains in a red glow.

To top it off, if you play on the PC and want to turn the best game ever made into something infinitely replayable and customizable, Oblivion has a HIGHLY active and HIGHLY skilled modding community of people who tirelessly provide tweaks, new quests, new armor, new places to explore, new spells, new races to play, graphic tweaks, new monsters, and even complete gameplay overhauls.

It can't be said enough that this is one of the greatest achievements in PC gaming history.
