Almost really fun
I loved Morrowind so was very excited for this game. While the graphics were excellent and the game play itself was smooth, I was somewhat disappointed. The leveling in the game was a surprise. As you level, your enemies level too. I understand why they did it that way, so as to not make the game too easy too quickly, but for me one of the rewards of putting in the time and effort to level up is to get stranger, faster, better than opponents. I also found the missions somewhat boring, but the addition of the Brotherhood was fun even. The world itself is smaller. And, its not as much fun to be a thief. There is no place to go for training and buying/selling if you are a thief, and merchants won't buy stolen items. There were things I really liked. I love that there are horses in the game and you can get armor for them. The expansion packs that give you hideaways and extras like the horse armor are worth it in my opinion. Overall, the game wasn't bad.

Simply stunning and vast
What makes this game so great is the incredible level of flexibility it (and its predecessor "Morrowind") allows. First you can choose your race (10 choices) and configure your appearance to match yourself or your favorite star. Then you can choose your character's class from over a dozen standard classes (sorcerer, barbarian, bard, etc) or design your own. After that, while there is a Main Quest providing the narrative backbone to the game, you are free to go off and explore ruins, join guilds, and pick up minor quests from characters you meet. <

>The world of the Elder Scrolls is vast, complex, and incredibly rich (even more so if you played "Morrowind"). <

>When this game came out, it required top-of-the-line hardware because of its beautiful (and CPU-intensive) graphics. Today, you should be fine with any relatively recent computer with a good graphics card. <

>For $45, Oblivion GOTY is an incredible value - you will get months (years?) of playtime out of this. Perfect for those of us without a life! <

>Oh, and did I mention that the game includes a kit for developing extensions to Oblivion (new quests, dungeons, monsters, treasures, cities...)? There is an active community creating new content all the time, so you may never be free of this game...

GOTY
I've played Morrowind, and now Oblivion for 4 years and enjoy it every time. Probably since I'm an over-50 gamer, I don't rush through it, but take my time and savor the awesome graphics.
