This thread has been linked to the game 'The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion'.
Ah! Who doesn't love RPGs, and if you love RPGs or are a fan of the Elder Scrolls series or the Fallout franchise it'll most likely be love at first sight with Oblivion. I had never played any other Bethesda games so it was truely new to me, trying not to spoil anything you start off in the Imperial Dungeons after you make your character from various races like the fishy Argonians or the cat-like Khajitts. you must then traverse through the underground subterrane built under the prison until then a certain someone dies and you then have to make your way through the rat and goblin infested sewers until you finally make your way to nice non-smelly solid ground.
If you're not a fan of RPGs then i would strongly recommend not getting this game, however it's a matter of debate since this was the game that got me playing RPGs. This is a role playing game to the core with beautiful graphics a balance of weapons and spell and what would and RPG be without the odd highwayman here and there. however like all games it does have it's problems like small thing that get annoying like you forget how you have a wieght limit so you can't pick up to much stuff or face being OVER-ENCUMBERED. And with most RPGs it suffers from frame rate problems in some places or when some battles are going on. this game would appeal more to hardcore gamers, but if you think it's to hard you can adjust the difficulty in the options menu. With a fairly middle lenght story-line it's best to play a few side quests after each mission to get your level up by sleeping afterwards. And good look in those oblivion gates, they look all the same on the inside and are kinda boring after doing two or three but you can't really stay mad at this game for long, so if you want to be the captain of battlehorn castle leader of the blades or a highwayman this game has to be a 9.5/10
