Advantages: A real indeph RPG game that will give you hours of richly designed conent. Disadvantages: Really can eat up your evening (recommened you finish that essay before starting out)
...I was so excited when ordering my copy of OblivionElderScrollsIV.
The screenshots and ads had promised much. I'm an eager gamer but am still not used to hours of my day being eaten up!
Oblivion is a massive RPG (role playing games) the deph of the storylines and quests is superb. I love this game because it gives you freedom, allows you to choose your own path in Cyrodil (the world in which your character lives). You can become a sinister asassin, a quirky mage or a brave fighter. And even (if you know the right people) become a secretive thief.
The Game features a thrilling main quest which on my first run took many months to complete (alongside other quests). But have since discovered that a few days concentrated play can leave you champion of cyrodil!
The game itself needs a high powered computer on which to play it, I...

Advantages: So Versatile Disadvantages: It Has To End Eventually

They open a secret passage...

Advantages: Stunning, Polished, Gigantic Disadvantages: Overwhelming, Weak Friendly Fighting AI
...Four years after the critically acclaimed "Morrowind", producer Bethesda Softworks releases the fourth installment of the ElderScrolls. It seems as if every minute was spent enriching and perfecting the award winning formula, as the flawless "ElderScrollsIV: Oblivion" will forever engrave its name in video-game history. The epitome of RPGs, the definition of gaming. It's enthralling, it's relentless. Prepare to throw your social life into Oblivion.
***The Story***
Characteristic to the ElderScrolls series is the immense freedom the player is bestowed with. Fate confronts the completely user-created character with an epic quest that somehow encompasses the fate of the kingdom and/or the entire world of Cyrodill, but it is a destiny that may well be ignored. Recovering mystical artifacts, slaying vampires, assassinating royalty...
