Good Points

- Beautiful Graphics.
- Approx 16 square miles worth of map.
- Massively Addictive.
- Great voice acting.
- Tonnes of quests!
- PATRIC STEWART albeit only at the beginning but still PATRIK STEWART!
- SEAN BEAN is also in the game!


Bad Points

- The fact that it eventually ends!
- Not really a bother to me but some may see its lack of a multiplayer mode a downer, personally I don't care!


General Comments

Well this game simply blows my mind! Right from the opening scene where PATRICK STEWART reads the opening monologue and the music slowly builds to an intense cinematic style beginning! WOW! From that instant I simply could not wait to get my hands dirty with this game!

Everything in this game screams quality, it is the way ALL western Role Playing Games should be made, I say western because the east have a very unique way of making them (a la Final Fantasy) which is awesome but only really they can pull it off, and oblivion is the west's vice versa! I always play my games on the easiest settings; I am not really after a challenge as much because I love to see the storyline without getting killed all of the time! But if you do like a challenge, the difficulty can be changed at any time!

Your characters are fully customisable, right from the skill set you'd have them learn to the gloves they can wear! The game is HUGE, took me 20+ hours to complete and get all of the achievements but there was still more to play! With extra downloadable content such as 'The Shivering Isle's' you can pretty much add another 10 " 15 hours worth of gameplay!

I would recommend this for anyone, but be warned! You will turn into a reclusive outcast who begins referring him or herself as 'The Dark Magician'!
