Thinking about getting the game

Well I have been seeing some pals get quite alot of gamerscore points off this game. I have seen a few videos of the game and was wondering is it really worth it?

ya it is just get some skill before main quest

Duplicate post deleted. Yes, get the game, it is fun.

What is the game really about?

Weapons do you have?

Who are your allys?

Do you have spells?

What is the main enemy?

Answer that anyone I need to know just a bit more.

Alright, I'll answer that. Put on ya' readin' glasses.

Emperor Uriel Septim VII, the current reigning Emperor, arrives at his palace prison escorted by several Blade bodyguards to escape through a secret exit through the Imperial Sewers. By chance, the exit is located in the cell occupied by the player character, who is in prison for reasons that are never revealed. Through conversation with the main character, the emperor relates that assassins, later revealed to be a part of a Daedric cult known as the Mythic Dawn, have killed Uriel's three sons and are now after him. He is then led off into the catacombs beneath the palace. The protagonist follows, and, after being cut off from the Emperor and his guards, the main tutorial takes place, which teaches the basic game mechanics and collects information that eventually leads to the game suggesting which class the player should choose near the end of the dungeon. The player is asked at the end of the dungeon whether the class they chose was correct. In keeping with the open nature of the game, the player is not required to follow this suggestion, and may pick any pre-made or custom class.
At the end of the catacombs, the protagonist meets up with the guards and Septim again, and they are quickly overwhelmed by assassins, which results in the player taking on the task of guarding the Emperor while the surviving Blades engage the enemy. While awaiting the result, Uriel entrusts the protagonist with the Amulet of Kings, a special amulet that can only be worn by those of the Septim bloodline, and orders him/her to take it to a man named Jauffre. Immediately afterwards, an assassin ambushes and kills the emperor before being defeated. The surviving guard, Baurus, questions the protagonist, and explains that Jauffre is the Grandmaster of the Blades, and can be found at Weynon Priory, near the city of Chorrol. The protagonist then leaves the sewers and begins his journey in the land of Tamriel; it is the player's choice to either follow these orders or go his or her own way.

If the player chooses to continue the main storyline, and ventures to Weynon Priory, it is revealed that the Emperor's death has allowed multiple gates to Oblivion to open, and a Daedric invasion is to begin as a result. The only way to close down the gates permanently is to find someone of the Septim bloodline to retake the throne and re-light the Dragonfires in the Imperial City. Fortunately, it is also revealed that there is indeed still an heir to the Septim throne: an illegitimate son named Martin Septim, who resides in Kvatch. The protagonist then must venture to the city and bring him to Weynon Priory. Ultimately, in the end, Tamriel is almost destroyed by Mehrunes Dagon, and his army of Daedra. (The site stopped here because of spoilers)

Other than the main storyline, the player has many other choices to choose from. Such as, joining guilds, doing side quests, stealing, etc. Even if you've played Oblivion 200+ hours the player can still find something to do. Like collecting all of the weapons they can (500+), raising money to buy homes, or killing everyone that they can! Also within the game are hundreds of spells. Ranging from a simple unlocking spell, to a gigantic fireball, and everything in between. The player can even join the "Mage's Guild" to unlock more powerful magic. If that isn't what they would like to do, they could join the "Fighter's Guild" the shady "Thieves Guild", the mysterious "Dark Brotherhood" All in all, Oblivion will last you a LONG time.

I love to copy and paste.

All that white makes me ill...
I'm going to say that it is a game you have to find everything out by playing it, not what others tell you. There is far too much detail to be explained by another person, but you didn't do too bad X360.

To me it was very dissapointing. You couldnt be a gaurd! Anyways if you wanna see the catch in oblivion read my post in the "Gaurds...what a bunch of retards" thread.
Edit: sorry forgot to mention. Dont mind me though ill admit the game is good but I just like the little details. If the game has something I wont like it will annoy the crap out of me. If you have an Xbox your best to start with Morrowind. Then get oblivion and see how much the game changed! Personally if I had my time back I woulda kept my Xbox and threw Oblivion out because theres alot more restrictions. With all the new games coming out oblivion will be soon ended up in the "unheard of" status. I really am starting to hate oblivion of what im seeing of it, im already lvl 30 mage. And even some people in this game werent able to be killed. Take the count of Cheydinhal for example. Ive finished all the quests involving him and I still couldnt kill him. Anyways the main point. To me Oblivion was a HUGE dissapointment.

Shut up man your so annoying all you do is annoy people and your really doing that to me now. This was on the first page! Thats not an old topic man! So stop bugging me everywere I go!

Dude... If it's on the first page it does not matter. If nobody posted in the topic with in a week its old. And as the thread creator I request this to be closed.

Edit: Btw I doubt any body will care about an answer if it was within a month's time. Also he's not being anoying he's doing his job as a moderator and he's doing a nice job at that.

Someone else bumped an old topic, and he didnt bother to say it, how is it not annoying if a moderator is watching you 24/7?

How about three? I'm not going to comment. I'd rather leave this between you and Norbie. And Pokemastar is right, we're just doing our jobs. If you had the same role it would be easier to understand.

So can you close this now?

If pokemaster wants it closed thats his buisness, its his topic I couldnt care less. Oh yea btw norbie please stop TRYING to get me banned, wont you please?

Hes not trying to he is trying to stop you from bumping topics which is breaking the rules and could lead to a ban if you don't stop. So basicly hes trying to save you from getting yourself banned.

When moderators see someone breaking a rule they usually would send an infraction. The only way the people who do the banning buisness can catch someone and ban them is if a moderator snitches on someone, unless there magic or something there not gonna be watching everyone at all times. So how am I gonna get banned unless Norbie snitches? The chance of one of the banning people catch me in the act is slim to none. So if Norbie bugged me enough times about something he has proof to give me infractions. The more infractions I get, the more closer to a ban I get. So its all in Norbies hands to get me banned or not.

Anyways im done here, so dont bother posting another answer back to me because chances are I wont read it.

Just in case you do read this god. It is not just you that I am getting on to about bumping. I tell other people too. I am not even getting on to you. Besides, why would I tell that you're bumping old topics? Woopdy freakin doo man! I would only report you if you flamed, and...... that is pretty much it. I just saw this so I am gonna post here. No reason to close this though, we'll just let it die.
