Installs a second program that will not be uninstalled with the game. This is just plain wrong.

Oblivion should be judged for what it is: the best open ended RPG ever created. No, it's story isn't Final Fantasy (or Baldur's Gate 2) level. On the other hand, it's interesting, well put together, and fun but short. Who cares!? This game is about going anywhere, living a fantasy life on your own terms. There are always new place to explore and new adventures to be had. The volume of side quests alone is staggering, to say nothing of just interesting dungeons to explore for fun without a quest. This game shouldn't be missed.

What set this RPG apart from many others was it's vast open world with highly realistic graphics, coupled with a simple yet effective combat system. There's tonnes of places to visit and a lot of different weapons, armor, magical items and other tomes. I often stray away from the main plot to engage in little side adventures, either with the sub plots provided in the game itself or I just ride off into the lands and encounter places at random. That's what I like about the game, you are not tied, you can go wherever you like! I'll even go out on deer hunting trips to sharpen up my bowmanship! I would like to see a Middle Earth style oblivion game with Orcs, goblins etc. That would be awesome! Finally, there's no limited activation nonsense with this game. If you are looking for an RPG that doesn't have draconian DRM, this is a great buy right now ;-)
