I have tried on two separate occasions to get into Oblivion but could only stand maybe 15 hours of the game each time. You can create a world as vast as you want but if its the same aesthetically throughout who cares. The combat is awkward and the story is throwaway as well. I really don't understand the buzz around the game to be honest.

To the games credit, both of my playthroughs ended up entirely different. First time I just focused on the story but the second time I spent most of my time joining guilds etc. Would like to run through the games main story arc at some point. Having games unbeaten in my library always keeps me up at night.
