Forget about reality...
- 9/14/2008
...because life as you know it will be replaced by this mammoth of a game. It's seriously one of the largest games ever conceived. Also, it happens to be one of the best which is why so many months will be dumped into exploring this masterpiece. This the limited edition of the game which is one of the nicest collections I've seen in gaming releases. A cool, thick outer sleeve encases a "lord of the rings" book-style disc holder. It's done nicely to look like an ancient relic. Beyond a game disc lies a bonus disc with a documentary and other goodies. In the sleeve on the right side hides the regular instruction manual and fold-out paper map. The left sleeve contents are more interesting...a pocket guide to the empire which has a pseudo-leather cover. If that isn't awesome enough...no lie, a real metal coin (septim) made to the specifications of the in-game coin or septim. REAL METAL!!! I tried as hard as I could to bend/ brake it!
So, on to the game. It's amazing. It's not without flaws but with so many pros ...they kinda negate the cons. So, I'll get those outta the way.
Cons*
Glitchy!!! There are sooooo many glitches in this game. I haven't encountered any that crash the game but you might get angry when a random situation causes an unheard of glitch that makes you have to load your last save up. Hint: save often! Combating this complaint of glitches is the fact that this game is MASSIVE. Not just in scale but in amount of quests and options and customization. It gets ridiculous at points. Just the way it should be. Never too many options.
The only other con I could conjure sounds like whining in hindsight. There are some fine-tuning issues that I won't even elaborate on cuz its embarrassing and proves me to way more of nerd that I even want to admit to being.
The pros*
Everything else. Seriously. Music. Graphics. Gameplay and mechanics. The mood and plots for the quests are unbelievable. I still can't believe how much they into this game. The fact that almost every interaction was preconceived is astounding. Simply put - if you don't already own this game go buy it. Now. I can't say enough good things about this game. I could go on & on for hours but if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to playing it.
p.s. No joke. I'm loading my game up right now.
Best Game Ever.

This is the best game ever period. The extra's with the collectors editions are great, the pocket guide similar to the Baulders gate one is very well made and detailed with tons of information. The bonus disc and "Septium coin" are great additions to the package. A perfect 10/10.
This game eventually gets old...

I loved this game and I have about 200 hours into it now. Although a few months ago I kind of got sick of it. The combat system is great and everything else in it is great too. As I said, it just gets old after 3 or 4 months. So enjoy it! For a while... Oh yeah, and if you have it for your PC remember to have a really good computer and video card!
You Always Remember Your First Time

This is the first Elder Scrolls game that I've played and I wish that I'd caught on sooner. The dpeth of gameplay is amazing. You want to spend your time sneaking around the city and pick-pocketing rich merchants? Fine. You'd rather save the world? You can do that too. The main game is rich and involving and can easily occupy over 100 hundred hours of gameplay. So far, the expansions have been a lot of fun too. I havn't played Shivering Isles yet, but that's only because my girlfriend is away for work and won't let me play if she's not around to watch. This game is one of the only games that I would actually go buy a brand new system just to play. Its that good.
Oh, how I love Oblivion!

This game got me into the gamer world. I spent nearly all my summer last year in "Cyrodil". The graphics are beyond impressive and the level of game play is unbelievable. You get the option of playing with a female character, which was so nice. I fell in love with all the little ingredients...like the grapes and apples...pumpkins and lavender sprigs! I highly recommend this game for anyone who doesn't like games. You will be damn surprised at the level of enjoyment that can be found running around the vast world. On the other hand, you do need a lot of time to wait for the loading screen. So be prepared.
