I Sold My Soul To This Game

RPG perfection? No, but so close it's hard to judge. A game I sank over 300 hours of my life into, and then some when I began modding it. When it was first released Oblivion was beautiful even with its low frame rate and sometimes absent textures, the world of Cyrodill was an impressive place. The combat wasn't perfect, but it was good and the story was one of the better ones in a game like this. It was the seemingly endless world to explore that drew me in. There are so many  places to find, and dozens of dungeons to explore (though many are just reworks of others you'll find in the game). The shortcomings are so easily overlooked and the characters (especially Sheogeroth from the Shivering Isles Expansion) are unforgettable. Overall, Oblivion is a fun, actionpacked, fantasy adventure you dont want to miss.
