Short Review: The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion

Title - The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
Genre - Open ended RPG
Platform - PC
Rating - A+
Comments - I got this game based on my opinion of the previous one of this series. I have to say that it is amazing, the graphics are stunning, and even though the plot does get a bit less interesting on this game, the developers seem like they were more interested in making a great game with amazing gameplay. The game does require a lot of your PC, and if you don't have a relatively good machine you won't run it, if you do however, I recommend. The game includes pretty much everything you could see on Morrowind, however this time you are able to do a bit more such as ride horses, buy property, invest money. It also has a very developed character creation process, and a neat tutorial that actually tries to fit you into a class according to how you play. If you are however into RPG and you want to really level your player, usually you shouldn't use the class the game picks for you, try to pick a class (or make your own) that is well rounded and has your most used skill as secondary. Well you will know what I mean if you are like me. One advice, try to follow the main story line, the game is huge and chances are if you save the main line for the end you might never finish the game because it is so long. Other interesting quest lines involve the Arena and the mages guild (which is kind of mandatory if you are interested in being a caster). If I do have to make one criticism about this game, I would say that some of the questlines require way too much traveling, I started new characters 3 times and every time I do I dread the fact that it will take me forever to get anywhere due to the some of the quests.

Comments - I would have given this game a much better rating if I was playing it when it was released. The graphics must have been something really impressive for the time. Even now I still find myself amazed at this extremely large world of Morrowind of Vvardenfell. I really enjoy how big and open ended this game is. I never played the 2 previous games of the series so at first the plot seemed kind of vague and stupid, I basically played for the fun of using different weapons and improving different skills, such as alchemy, which allows you to make many many potions. I definitely suggest this game for anyone, I never liked RPG before, if anything I made fun of those games for being so nerdy. But this game actually changed the way I look at this genre. I can't wait to play Elder Scrolls 4 which already came out. I really want to finish this game before I move on. The plot actually became very interesting so it would be a shame to miss all this history that is behind this series.
