Great Game

This is an excellent game. Good graphics for a RPG great sound. The people's lips actually move when you talk to them. Many classes and skills to choose from you can even create your own class with it's own set of major skills. You can choose to follow the main storyline or there are many sub quests to chose from. You don't have to walk from one side of the map to the other if you don't want too. You can choose to skip to any major city by choosing it on the map or once you have discovered a place you can skip to there as well. Some skills are easy to raise and others can be time consuming all having good benefits. There is a good selection of armor and weapons. There is light and heavy armor depending on what class you are or what you like best. There are many factions you can join some are for helping people and others are used to steal and assassinate people each having there own ranks. There is hundreds maybe even over a thousand hours of game play depending on the playing style that you choose. I suggest if you do buy this game to get some sort of strategy guide because there is a lot of content in this game that can be easily overlooked. The one thing I disliked about the game is that there is no multiplayer. A game as big as this needs to have online multiplayer capabilities to keep it interesting. Cause games are always better when you can play with your friends or family. It's always cool to see people that have played a game a for a while wearing cool armor and a weapon with a cool enchant on it. Then a year later your the one with the cool armor and weapon and new players are checking you out. It would also be fun to have a Player vs. Player environment as well. Other then that the game is the best non multiplayer RPG I've played.

RPG Adventure at its best.

Sweet and short. If you like RPG Fantasy Adventure... But this game. Period. You will not be disappointed. The only thing its "missing" IMHO is some online ability. The graphics are top notch, the controls are very well done (ranged attacks can be painful), the story line awesome, the content extremely detailed. Even if you play hard core and push to the final "goal" the game does not end. You can can continue to play it indefinitely building your avatar and affecting the world. Whether you are playing serious or just causing the poor npcs grief this game is just a blast blast blast.

I will say I'm not too into RPG's, but this is one of the best I've ever played. The world map id rediculous, you could walk around for hours and not even accomplish any game tasks, and just appreciate the dazzling landscapes and scenery. THere are alot of options on how you can customize your character. However, just liek most RPG's, your character gets to a point where you kill everything in a few strikes, and have just about zero chance at ever dying. Once you've gotten about halfway through the game, you'll not see any new, more difficult enemies, which makes finishing the game monotonous. If you are playing this to just experiance a vast game, where you can do many different things, then this game is a great one for you. If you want a challenging game that will require your top effort throughout, play this for about 100 hours and trade it in. , because otherwise you will just be hacking through Minotour Lords in three hits until your eyes fall out.

This is the best RPG for the PS3...period. The non-linear possibilities of being able to roam the countryside and simply explore is very nice. There are enough side campaigns to keep a player busy for days and days. The developers were able to incorporate enough control possibilites to allow for very detailed character customization and once you get used to the GUI with all the hotkeys assigned, intricate spell-casting and fluid combat are fairly easy.
The only cons I can speak of are: 1. There are a couple areas in some of the ruins as well as in some rocky terrain where my character got stuck and I couldn't walk, jump or climb out of them and had to reload the game. A simple solution is to make sure you save often and you won't lose much progress or time. 2. I bought this game before realizing there was a Game of the Year edition that includes both the add-ons.
If you're a fantasy RPG fan, get this game.

Amazing

The graphics in this game are amazing. There's a ridiculous amount of weapons, armor, potions etc. you can get. Many sub-quests you can go on if you get bored with the main one you're on. The fighting isn't very realistic, however. Recommended wether you like RPG's or not. HIGHLY recommened if you like Baldur's Gate.

An Excellent RPG

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is perhaps one of the best RPGs I have ever played. The graphics are far superior to anything else out there, and in 1080p on the playstation 3, the picture is stunning.
The world of Tamriel has a life of its own. The intricate storylines are plentiful and engaging. I played the game for 200+ hours, and my complaints are few:
Repetitive voiceovers: It would seem that the thousands of people living in Tamriel are voiced by only a handful of actors. I'll forgive this annoyance only because I don't have to read all the dialogue, like most RPGs.
Repetitive environments: Visually, the world is stunning, but after awhile, mines, caves, and caverns all start to look as though I've been there before.
Technical Glitches: Every so often, the screen would freeze, and the only remedy was to shut off the game. Also, sometimes backgrounds/enemies don't load soon enough and "pop" up right in front of you.
But until a next-gen Final Fantasy is released, this is the best RPG out there.

Best RPG to date

The Elder Scrolls has a reputation for a great RPG experience, and Oblivion does not disappoint. With well over one-hundred hours of quests and battles, this first person 1-player hack and slash doesn't disappoint. The graphics are stunning, the sound is amazing, and you'll find yourself on the edge of your seat with anticipation as you play this game.
Nothing about this game is simple, with an involved storyline that keeps you wanting more, and side-quests that are well-developed, you will continually want to keep playing this game like it's a great novel you just don't want to stop reading.

Fantastic game

This game is absolutly fantastic! Great graphics, hundreds of hours of play time, and wonderful combat system. This is a must have for any RPG or Action Adventure lover. My favorite thing about this game is that for each player it is a totally unique experience, you and your friend will never have the same exact thing happen to you in this game (exept for scripted events). My only con with this game is the menu, while its set up great, it is sometimes a hassle to quickly get to where you want to go. Other than that this is one of the best games you will find.
