      Oblivion quest writing is overrated as all hell. Decent, but not some shining beacon of quests that all games should strive towards

        I love the guild storylines. The main storyline is good too. It's only flaw is that Morrowind surpasses it.

    Unironically I felt that other than the stat point system (other than how to gain +5s) was the perfect blend of complex and simple that was perfect for the mass appeal TES was going for.

    I just couldn’t stand the dungeons. The quests were great but every single dungeon save for a couple unique ones were the exact same layout over and over and over again copy pasted. Completely ruined the game for me. At least Skyrim’s endless draugr caves had slightly different maps for each dungeon.

      Yeah. I would have loved more unique dungeons.

    it didnt.
    Oblivion replaced the intriguing dark magic world of Morrowind with generic fantasy, biggest fricking downgrade.
    But from gameplay, RPG standpoint its massive improvement how it feels and what you can do, its got proper mechanics now whatever than means

    How could it be the peak with it's overshadowed by Morrowind? It's a plateau at best.

    Oblivion is Apocalypse of gaming all smart people stopped right there. Quest marker! moron dialog system for kids who can't read. A fantasy world was replaced with Middle Ages theme. RP combat replace with action. Golden age of FPS ended. CRT left the markets.

      nah, oblivion did it right. quest markers and fast travel and shit weren't intrusive like they were in skyrim. you still got to explore and fill out your map and just adventure. why even bother talking about melee combat in a TES game, if you aren't using magic and ranged shit that's on you

      I played it more recently and it still held up. I thought I'd just try it out for a bit for laughs and then delete it again, but I ended up playing it for 200+ hours. Did the guild questlines, did the arena, just fricked off and explored stuff, closed a bunch of Oblivion gates, etc. There are not that many 15 year old games that hold up like that.

        Oblivion set a new standard for open world games by making it so that all of the shit to do in the game is easily accessible so that players don't have to work too hard to find activities and making said shit to do not feel like a slog. Yeah you could just have players run into a goblin cave and kill everything, or you could have it set up so that they first see a bunch of goblins fighting each other with a poor farm girl begging for help because her family is getting caught in the middle of the conflict, thus setting up proper motivation for spelunking into said cave and wrapping the experience together with something that will keep it memorable.

    Gaming's defining moment in the 21st century was the release of Halo 3. There is absolutely no arguing with this, whether you like Halo or not. For better or for worse. Honorary mentions go to Grand Theft Auto 3, Skyrim, WoW and CoD: Modern Warfare 2.

      Halo 2 was more significant than Halo 3. On release, people meme'd about how Halo 3 was just Halo 2 HD.

      Because making 800 attractive characters is hard. Characters who are important/you speak to a lot tend to have okay faces.

      Using the game's character creator, you could make a good looking male/female so it was ok.

    Oblivion is objectively a terrible game but I can't help but find it immensely cosy to play. I think the soundtrack does all the heavy lifting.
