    Good Morning Everyone! 
     
    Now as you all proabably don't know, the Elder Scrolls series is one of my top five favorite video game series of all time.  The other day, I was going through my X-Box game shelf (I have a shelf for each of the current gen consoles) and I realized that my copy of Oblivion was missing.  Frantic I started tearing through my room looking for it.  The game was nowhere to be found.  It wasn't in any drawers, or under the bed, or in the closet.  With my room a mess, I decided to sit down and try to remember what happened to the disk.  After pondering it for a few minutes, I remembered what happened.  I dropped the original disk.  It was messy.  Unreadable disk errors abound after that mishap.  So I decided that I was going to go and buy the game anew next time I was at an electronics/game store. 
     
    Well, yesterday was the day.  I went to Best Buy to get my mom's Mother's Day gift (she has been dying to get that damn Wii Fit Plus on the family Wii.  It will never touch my Wii), so I went to go pick that up.  Once I picked up the game, I decided just to check the 360 area and see if they had Oblivion in stock.  They did.  One last copy.  It was like a sign from the Gods.  I grabbed the game without hesitation and happily payed the full $29.99 for it.   
     
    I didn't pop the game in my console at all last night because I knew that hours upon hours would just vanish as I started playing the game, so I resorted to playing Super Street fighter IV until it was time for sleep.  This morning is a different story entirely.  Oblivion is running once again in my 360 and its glorious.  I have not made it very far on a new character (a Khajit Agent who has only just made it out of the sewers and massacred a small camp of bandits without being seen with my trusty bow), but I have a feeling that very very soon, I will truly be an unstoppable force from the shadows.  I am currently in the Imperial City offloading my goods so that I can pillage some nearby dungeons and caves without fear of having to leave anything behind.  
     
    Needless to say, I friggen LOVE this game.  Hopefully some of you other folks on the site love the game as much as I do. 
     
    -Cheers

    I'm still messing around with it once in a while, though unlike Fallout 3 I have to take constant breaks sometimes weeks until I can properly enjoy it again, otherwise it gets boring quick. 3/4 of the way done with Dark Brotherhood Quests though.

    @Gabriel: For me though, just exploring the world is fun.  The music is so calming and serene, it makes just walking around a fantastic experience.

    Yeah it is a helluva game.  One of my all-time favs.  Did you get the GOTY edition w/all the DLC?  Almost all the DLC is damn good.  Anyway I played one character for over 350 hrs.  Almost all skills maxed, saved a copy of every piece of gear in the game in 6 or so homes and the tower, and pretty much got so overpowered my character just had to block to kill all comers w/reflect damage.  That game definitely brought out the OCD gamer in me......... like Vinnie,lol.  Enjoy duder!

    Oblivion is frakin' awesome. I've toyed with the idea of starting a new game with a new character, but then I remember how much time I put into Oblivion the first time and just can't bring myself to commit to it again.

    I am definitely a fan of oblivion. It's more sandboxy than Fallout 3, which works in its favor because you don't have to wander around a wasteland looking for quests.

    Even now I still love the environment, music and overall feel of it. I have not played it in a while but I know one day I will be bored and pop it in again.

    This game doesn't make anyone else feel dead inside after awhile? It just gets damn lonely in that world. All-in-all its a good experience, just a very sloow one.

    I preferred Fallout 3, i couldn't really get into Oblivion for some reason. I always plan on going back to it, but i just can't find the motivation.

    I could be set for life with Oblivion and HL2. Spent so many hours on both of them.

    my favourite game ever. As I sit in my room I constantly think that today will be the day I go pick up the GOTY edition and jump back in. I can't wait till that day comes.

    I'm trying really hard to get back into Oblivion. Hopefully it happens soon. I love this game to death.
