Into Oblivion
So I finally got a hold of Oblivion, as my entertainment-hoarding friend Casper regressed into the more simple gameplay of Farcry and let me borrow the free-roaming RPG. So far, I like it a lot more than I’d expected, considering how boring Morrowind was. Oblivion seems to be packed with things to do, I was very surprised to realize I had spent several hours exploring the countryside, some old ruins, and a set of imp-infested caves after leaving the tutorial area. You may have heard people complain about the somewhat killing-rats-in-sewers nature of the tutorial area, but I thought it was great, it reminded me of Thief 3, which was pretty much how I played it, too.
