The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion sets gamers up to play the fourth installment in this legendary series. Known as one of the most famous and top-notch RPGs, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion immerses us in a sandbox world called Cyrodil. The game gives you hours and hours of fantastic gameplay, and the portals lead you straight to the dark dimension of Oblivion. As a brave adventurer, you must uncover a way to halt the invasion of monsters from this world into the other world.

The beauty of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is how it exists even if you do not play the story right away. You have the option to fully enjoy your time in Cyrodil without touching the story. Wander the dark dungeons in search of valuable loot. You have a shocking number of races to choose from and each has its own backstory. The potential for full creative expression in this game rockets through the ceiling. Outside choosing a race, you can choose from a variety of classes that include:

• Thief
• Acrobat
• Agent
• Mage
• Sorcerer
• Witchhunter
• Knight
• Warrior
• Barbarian

The flexibility of how you can play the game makes it worth a try. From beautiful rolling landscapes to cities full of alive and engaging NPCs, few places will color your adventure like a play through of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The actual scope of the game remains gigantic, and you can have adventures to your heart's content. Throughout the game, you will run across numerous interesting characters to keep the game thrilling you to the end.

Experts of the game reveal you could spend as much as 200 hours on the staggering depth of the game. While the game experiences some bugs, luckily none of them cripple the gameplay. Unfortunately, Oblivion offers no multiplayer, and you can only play offline. That means you can progress through a rich and deep storyline. The game offers a natural feeling of progression, and as you level up, you obtain better armor, weapons and spells to take down monsters. The game stops you from doing nothing, and you can even take out innocents if you choose.

Like many medieval games, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion includes four guilds. You have one for mages, one for thieves, one for fighters and one called the Dark Brotherhood. Each guild will send you through a unique book of quests, and you will receive additional perks for being a member. The developers ultimately made the game open-ended because they wanted to give people the freedom to explore whatever aspect they found appealing. You have plenty of side quests and mountains and streams to explore at your own pace.
