Product Description
Step into the most richly detailed and vibrant game world ever created. The Elder Scrolls® IV: Oblivion™ is the latest chapter in the epic and highly successful saga from Bethesda Softworks. Oblivion is the sequel to the best-selling, award-winning role-playing game (RPG) The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind®, named 2002 RPG and Game of the Year for Xbox®. Oblivion is another leap forward in role-playing with its combination of freeform gameplay and cutting-edge graphics.
Features:
Good and evil: Create and play any character you can imagine, from noble warrior to sinister assassin to wizened sorcerer.
Melee and magic: An all-new combat and magic system brings first person role-playing to a new level of intensity where you feel every blow.
Stunning graphics: Pixel-shader effects and high-definition televisions are fully supported to create unprecedented visuals, including lifelike towns, dungeons, and the most realistic forests ever created in a game.
Radiant A.I.: This groundbreaking artificial intelligence system gives characters full round-the-clock schedules and the ability to make their own choices based on the world around them. Non-player characters eat, sleep, and complete goals all on their own.
Realistic characters: The game features over 1,000 non-player characters who come to life like never before with facial animations, lip-synching, and full speech. They even engage in unscripted conversations among themselves!
Enormous environments: With its non-linear game play, the huge world of Oblivion is open for you to explore at your own pace, and shorter quests such as fighting bandits, mixing potions, creating magic items, and persuading friends keep the challenges coming.

Amazing Game, amazing work, amazing detail!
This is a fantastic game. It's true that it can be frustrating to start off poor and only find low quality items, only to end up earning great items (how do you sleep?!) but there's a lot that outweights this.
For a start, being able to customize your character's face, gender, race, class (customize your own if you don't like their choices), colors...
And then you get further into it, and the game itself is so realistic. The way the chains move if you bump into them, the movement of logs falling down a slope, the horses, the non-playable characters interacting with each other as if it were just another day, the developers researched natural geography just to get the forests and landscapes as realistic as possible!
You can follow the main quest... or just walk away from it for a few months, wander around the land, ride a horse around the land, talk to people and pick up random missions that have nothing to do with the main story or the guild stories, work on taking over the thieves guild, the fighter's guild, the mage's guild... and if you are subscribed to XBox live, there's MORE to download, just in case you end up doing it all!
And you can buy yourself a house. Or two. Or three. Or four. In fact, there's a house in EVERY town there is for your loot. Not like Morrowind, killing someone for their house, now you can own one legitimately. ;) And again, if you have XBox live, you can download more choices... a mage's tower, a fighter's stronghold, a thief's hidden cave...
I find that having the low quality items at the start is only a good thing. For a start, a character won't be able to carry a lot of high quality stuff, it weighs more, and it also increases your challenge- so you don't find it an easy go from the start to finish.
Very very good, I love the natural movement of the things in Oblivion, the natural look and feel of the landscape, the ability to walk around freely without being bound to the storyline only, and the way it changes from night to day, changes weather... very excellent! Five stars. :D

For every step forward...a bigger step backward!
The fourth game in the Elder Scrolls series is something of a mixed bag of technology, time/effort saving pre-made software tools and bad ol' fashioned design idiotics!
Ill admit while Speedtree generates fantastic dense forests for players to explore and Radiant AI produces life in otherwise dull automaton townsfolk...the entire package is undermined by the level scaling game mechanic.
As you improve and grow as a character...so do the enemeies you fight.
Would have been okay if it were just that...but it affects loot and store stock too.
This has the effect of killing any motivation to do just about...anything!
From ignoring an ancient ruin cause you know youll fight through 50 zombies...only to pick a top rated lock on a chest and find 5 gold and a copy of "Summon Zombie" inside...to leaving behind a full set of Daedric armor (the most rare and valuable kind in the entire world) because youve already got 12 and cant be bothered lugging them back to town...to sell for more worthless money...thats only worthless now that youre farming weapons and equipment from Bandits that is ten times better than anything you could possibly buy in a shop!...or not bothering to complete a quest after you realise youll go through hell...suffer badly...and get a suspiciously underpowered spell/aritfact as a reward!
Suspicious because it too has been level scaled down in power/ability so you dont get anything powerful early in the game.
But the really infuriating part comes when you see said item/spell remains underpowered forever...it doesnt grow to reflect youre current power/skill.
I know it was done so the "Power Gamer" exploits of past games could be clamped and the series could reach a wider and less patient audience and wow those that have never played an Elder Scrolls series before, but sooner or later (id say about 20 hours) they too...in their blissful ignorance will feel the effects of problems veterans complained about from day one!
Leaving all of us with a game thats easy to admire...but hard to love!
