its a 3 year old game, i played it two years reaching level 20 withought doing the main story. two months ago i saw it on my shelf and decided to make a save and start the game all over again.

the story

the main quest in the game is saving tamriel(or cyrodil im not sure) from the daedric cults which have assasinated the emperor and opened oblivion gates in the whole kingdom. the story is interesting, one good thing about it is that it gives you a lot of rare items and makes you enter many guilds, that would atract people who prefer doing many side missions other then doing the main story. it is diffrent then all the side quests, and guild quests, theirs emotion i felt a bond btw me and the characters. i wanted to know more and that is what made me go into every oblivion gate and close it even though i was creeped out by the creatures in it and its setting. to complete everything in the game requires more then 500 hours of gameplay

graphics/presentation:

the graphics arent outstanding its a 3 year old game, but they arent bad, the voice acting is pretty good but the way characters move their lips and at what time is awful. sometimes they talk and their lips arent moving. the textures are good and smooth, their isnt screan tearing, the world looks a bit real, it makes you want to go and quest, and discover everything in it. i love the art style, seeing a screen shot of the kick ass armor, made me regret being a mage and not wearing armor.

gameplay: their are so many ways of coming into the game, you can be a warrior who wears armor and uses an axe, someone who just goes smashing in and barely uses spells . you can be like a rogue light armor a dagger, you can use a bow with arrows, and you can tend to use a some spells which help since you cant take lots of damage. or you can a mage using spells and stafe, or a battle mages you use weapons but are dependent on spells.

you can make potions, you can evern create spells when you enter the arcane university, theirs a thieves guild which helps you improve in lockpicking and sneaking, and assasins guild, a guild which hunts vampries, a fighthers guild, a mages guild and many more. you can invest in shops, barter with merchants, persuade people, their is so much content that you will get lost in the world.


value: the game is long, and hectic, their are many bugs in the game, some include a quest option or item not being their, a horse being stuck in a wall, glitches which give you infinite money or the possiblity to duplicate items(those are actually fun), or sometimes you equip your weapons in a retarted way that you cant fight properly. the glitches and bugs dont ruin the game so they arent that bad.

story:10/10

graphics:8.5/10

gameplay 9.5/10

value:10/10

overall(not an average):9.5/10

conclusion: great game youl keep on coming back for more and more, one of the best games ive played this generation and definatly the most adicating(i dont play WoW)
