Build your character with smarts & street savvy. Oblivion is not just a game, it is an experience. This is not a game you win, because when it is over, the experence is over. This is a game you are only winning when you are experiencing its many facets.RPG's used to be top down "god-view" games, which I could never get into. bland. You will become part of a new world that makes the one you currently live in, well. Experience many quests and adventures. This one gives you the option of First-Person, really putting you in the middle of the action.If you like pc gaming, you will not be disappointed.
The combination of quests, skills, and an enormous world allow an unprecedented amount of flexibility in molding your character any way you like, making this an amazing game for any fan of RPGs. Which means if you never use a bow, your marksmanship skill will never increase. This keeps the game interesting, and allows you to go on any quest you want at any time without worrying about your level.I also love the way skill increases are handled. Or you can always just wander around stumbling into fights, castles, caves, breaking into houses, and going on random quests. All guilds come with a number of their own quests, as well as advancement and rewards. It combines an enormous world, a plethora of quests, dynamic monsters, and intelligent skill leveling into an addictive game you won't be able to stop playing. Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion is the greatest role-playing game to date. You can find most quests simply by overhearing conversations, or talking to people.
This is an excellent way of character growth because the skills you use the most are the ones which improve the most. The size of the world is staggering, as are the number of quests offered. Each character has 21 skills (7 fighting, 7 thieving, and 7 magic) which gain in strength as you use them. When creating your character you specify 7 "major" skills which will increase faster and lead to level increases.
So there will never be situations like in Diablo where fighting skeletons becomes ridiculous after you gain a few levels. Hours of entertainment are guaranteed, you can spend all your time doing what you want and ignoring the parts of the game you find boring.One of the improvements over other RPGs is the dynamic strength of the monsters and NPCs. You can also join any (or all) of the 4 guilds: the Fighters Guild, the Mages Guild, the Thieves Guild, or the Dark Brotherhood (the assassins' guild). As you gain in levels, they gain in strength.
These skills can be whatever you want, making most characters into a hybrid of fighter/thief/mage.
it really ruins the experience. I spent much of my teen years dreaming of this game. The game is well designed to the point that you feel like you can do anything. Some people may be put off by the lack of direction. Plenty of games in the past came close, Ocarina of Time, and Outcast come to mind. A game that created a world so immense, diverse, and open ended that you could literally be sucked in as if it were reality. But, I think this game hits it dead on.I highly discourage anyone from using a guide for this game (online, or otherwise). Overall, a great experience.Matthew Overstreethttp://www.swordwares.com
get it. its a good time waster. i got it just for the amazing detail, variety and all the stuff you can steal from peasants.
There are a great many add ons to edit this game as well. If you like RPG's. then this is a must have game.The only draw back i see is that it is NOT playable online.The graphics are top notch, game play is good. so if looking for an open ended game with well over 300 hours of RPG fun, then look no further.
