Oblivion In 2024 Is Utterly Bewildering.

It just works.

That music will NEVER get old

Oblivion helped me through a horrible time in my life. Not just was the game so freaking fun but a lot of stuff it introduced to me, surprised me at the time. Things like the open world, the npc day cycles, the races, the fact that you could loot almost everything. Sure now that I've played it for such a long time I've seen its flaws; the removal of the Jungle, Culture, and Lore was very upsetting looking back now. The Oblivion gates were really annoying cause they were around the same 10 gates...when there's like 60 gates in the game. The armors were hit and miss with some really terrible looking helmets and the leveling system is an unhinged mess. But holy crap, I still feel whimsical walking through the forests of Cyrodill; I still feel eriee when exploring the dungeons. I love the quests, I love the guilds, I love the characters. I love the setting, I love the shivering isles, I love looking for the daedric artifacts and finding ancient powerful relics to slay monsters and villains. Oblivion is my favorite game and always will be.

Oblivion stands out so starkly to the other Elder Scrolls Games. Morrowind is like watching a Ray Harryhausen claymation film about medieval Martians, Skyrim is like an HBO Game of Thrones knock-off. Any Oblivion is like the Muppet Show with with special guest stars Patrick Stewart and Sean Bean.

It is of legal age now.

Can't wait for you to make a video detailing why the Duke of Mania and the Duchess of Dementia are idiots and why Sheogorath is actually a genius

I got Oblivion for the first time as a gift from grandma. I wanted it so badly due to loving Skyrim. But after a while I came across the graphics and told her she didn't need to bother. She had however already bought it. But I played it anyways. Safe to say after a couple 100 hours of playing it the graphics didn't seem to bother me XD

Shivering Isles is exactly what Oblivion needed and remains one of my all time best expansion/DLCs for a game. Just a totally wacky worldspace and characters to contrast with the green european setting of base game.

My all-time favorite game but it's really hard to go back to cause it has that same feeling as Skyrim where you get the urge to play but can't grab that same feeling we had when playing for the first time

Oblivions radiant AI is mostly hilarious but theres been a few exchanges ive seen that were actually really impactful

Oblivion was like Minecraft for me man, blew my mind as a little kid. I used to make my uncle make characters and watch him do stupid things with spells

Everytime I see an Oblivion video I get the urge to replay it, then I remember the annoying levelling system and change my mind.

Just started playing this for the first time.

I was about 12 when i first played the brush of death quest. To this day i think its the most creative questdesign there is.

I played Oblivion for the first time, maybe 2 years ago. Tried to play in the past, but this time, I committed and loved every second!

Elder Scrolls 3 saved me from an abusive relationship, and I'm not even joking. And Elder Scrolls 4 helped me make friends by finding people with my interests. These games have legitimately been major factors in my life at different times.

Oblivion is a wonderful game, despite its many flaws. Its like a good relationship. You see the flaws, but many of them endear the object of your affection to you. She's quirky & most definitely not for everyone. That suits me just fine.

I absolutely love Oblivion: the magic system, the physics (the good and the bad), the combat, the quests, the lore, etc. I find myself coming back to it quite often.

The game was going to be a lot better. There was a main developer that in old threads talked about how Cyrodill the game is set in was going to look alien like, like Morrowind before it. But Todd Howard watched movie Lord of the Rings and changed everything.

Oblivion is one of those games I just always end up returning to. It's just pure comfort to me. Oblivion, RE4(original), Dark Souls 1, Fallout NV, Halo 2, 3, and Reach, Borderlands 2, Galactic Battlegrounds, Empire at War - they've always got me when other games fail to keep me. There were times in my life where these games were literally the only ones I played, and honestly, if I had to go back to just playing those for the next 10 years or so, I think I'd be alright with that. Granted I do mod a lot, but still.
