"You are TOO PRETTY to worship in this place!"

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, developed by Bethesda Game Studios

and published by 2K Games in March of 2006.

And just looking at this box for the PC version it’s clear that Bethesda was keen on correcting

the weaker aspects of its predecessor, Morrowind, boasting about fully-voiced NPCs, an improved

combat system, Havok physics, and a streamlined user interface.

It was also the first time an Elder Scrolls game launched with a console port from day

one, with Oblivion on the Xbox 360 released alongside the PC version

and a PlayStation 3 port arriving a year later.

Leading some to immediately write it off as, quote, a “dumbed down” console game.

Didn’t seem to stop the masses from snatching it up though, quickly becoming the most successful

Elder Scrolls game to date, selling over 3 million units by January of 2007 and moving

As a result, Oblivion remains one of most-played entries in the series, as well as being many

players’ first Elder Scrolls game at all.

So let’s go ahead and take a look at the PC version,

which came in both standard and Collector’s Edition boxes.

Each of these came with a single DVD-ROM containing the game itself, but the collector’s edition

also had this “Making of Oblivion” bonus disc packed inside a delightful looking sleeve.

You also get a little ad for the isometric mobile version of Oblivion for flip phones,

the requisite in-game world map, this being the province of Cyrodiil, and a 50-page full-color

instruction booklet touching on a wide variety of topics, like classes, skills, spells, weaponry,

And apparently the Collector’s Edition was supposed to provide both a Pocket Guide to

the Empire and even a gold Septim coin, but mine didn’t so screw me I guess.

Oh well there’s a tale to tell just as soon as you start the game, featuring the dulcet

[“This is the 27th of Last Seed; the Year of Akatosh 433.”]

[“These are the closing days of the 3rd Era, and the final hours of my life.”]

The story goes that while on routine patrol of the Romulan neutral zone, the Enterprise

encounters a scout ship seeking asylum in Federation--er, wait.

[rustling of papers] Uh, wrong Patrick Stewart game.

It’s about six years after the events of The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, and Emperor

Uriel Septim VII is freaking out about having seen the gates of Oblivion and is convinced

His three sons have been assassinated and it’s clear that he’s next on the agenda,

so he and his Imperial bodyguards, known as the Blades, are fleeing Cyrodiil because crap sucks.

And so your story begins at the main menu, where you start a new game and create a character.

In classic Elder Scrolls fashion, this begins with you as an imprisoned nobody, a blank

slate ready to be molded into whatever weird shape you desire.

After you choose your name, gender, race, skin tone and other basic stuff, you can go

into a ridiculously complicated character creation tool set and use dozens of sliders

to manipulate every millimeter of your appearance.

Oblivion became infamous for its uncanny, weirdly-proportioned, pudding-faced characters,

and it’s easy to see why using these tools.

Just embrace it, I say, and go with the most ridiculous head you can come up with.

After this you’re greeted with a much prettier sight than your face: the bleak stone walls

In keeping with Elder Scrolls tradition, this first area acts as the tutorial, although

it’s more direct in Oblivion than previous entries with pop-ups blasting walkthrough

In-between ham-fisted tutorial boxes you get freed from your cell by Emperor Picard himself,

who brings you along with his entourage of meatheads through the underbelly of Cyrodiil.

Tutorial messages continue to berate as you perform the Elderest of Scrollsy things like

dispatching low-level rats and scouring each room for weapons, armor, and loot.

Along the way you’ll choose both your birthsign and your class, each affecting the skills

and capabilities of your character throughout the rest of the experience.

Signs are pre-constructed, but as with previous Elder Scrolls games the classes can be customized

to your liking and named anything you deem clever.

Suddenly you witness the unavoidable death of Professor Emperor Patrick Xavier Stewart

Picard the Seventh, who has apparently grown to trust you over the past five minutes and

tasks you with protecting the irreplaceable Amulet of Kings.

Once you reach the sewer exit, it’s one last chance to adjust your stats and then

aw yeah, it’s that big Bethesda reveal moment, providing your first glimpse of a world of

[peaceful waterside sound effects, orchestral music plays]

And wow was this a memorable moment in 2006!

At the time I was still impressed by the open world of Morrowind,

then to see all this not even four years later?

Drop in that orchestral soundtrack from Jeremy Soule and daggone,

you’ve got yourself one classy role-playing experience.

[classy role-playing music plays its role]

Granted it ran like week-old garbage on my

PC in ‘06, but even at mid to low-range settings it was still the most gorgeous open

The Gamebryo Engine had certainly had its detractors over the years, and rightfully

so with its penchant for instability and bizarre technical shortcuts

that can result in legendarily glitchy gameplay.

But you have to give it props for providing such lovely scenery, and breaking new ground

with HDR lighting, specular mapping, and lush vegetation.

Even though it absolutely killed my computer to do so, there really was nothing like cranking

the lighting, shadows, and grass settings to the max and admiring the flora and fauna.

Then there’s another graphical aspect that has, in my opinion, aged poorly, and that

Effects like this have dated games from the mid-2000s almost more than anything else,

it just looks strange in retrospect with its blown out colors

and artificial-looking glow around objects.

Still, even going back to it now it’s no deal-breaker, since the gameplay of Oblivion

You’re given a huge map to explore right from the beginning, and whether or not you

choose to follow the main story path is entirely optional.

If you want to immediately head underground and hunt for treasure, go right ahead.

If you wanna explore one of the big cities, go for it, there are even fast travel points
