It still looks very epic &#8211; crisp sprites, interesting designs, and eye-catching architecture.  And while some of the NPCs certainly look weird, this is more a symptom of weird design choices rather than old-school graphics that look weird on a new PC.<\/p>\n<h2>Lonely kingdom<\/h2>\n<p>At its heart, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is meant to be an epic game of sword and sorcery.  The vocal acting and the wide open world help evoke the feelings of such classics as <em>The Lord of the Rings<\/em> movie.<\/p>\n<p>And while voice acting, world design, and story help to do that, one thing really sabotages that epic feeling: this realm is really damn lonely.<\/p>\n<p>It is very remarkable how few characters are on the screen at any one time.  And once you notice this, it&#8217;s hard not to notice the same dozen people doing almost all of the dialogue in the game.<\/p>\n<p>This doesn&#8217;t diminish the overall experience, but it does make traveling that open world a little more lonely.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1649949468_287_The-Elder-Scrolls-IV-Oblivion-Review.jpg\" alt=\"The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Review |  Gammick\" class=\"wp-image-2608\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2>A truly open world<\/h2>\n<p>One thing that really impressed gamers in 2006 was Oblivion&#8217;s open world design.  You can travel on foot or on horseback to every corner of the world, collecting new missions as you go.<\/p>\n<p>This game is a little more directive than Morrowind because you are given the main quest chain almost immediately.  However, you can abandon that search and go wandering the world whenever you want.<\/p>\n<p>And it really seems like anything can happen at any time.  Your simple exploration of a mountain could lead to you being bitten by a vampire.  At that point, you can decide whether to frantically seek a cure or settle into your new life as a lurking creature of the night.<\/p>\n<p>Oblivion also introduced a feature we now take for granted: fast travel.  Whenever you&#8217;re done exploring at your leisure, you can quickly return to the places you discovered earlier.<\/p>\n<p><center class=\"native_ad\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- Composite Start --><\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- Composite End --><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<h2>Dark morality<\/h2>\n<p>One of the strangest things this game lacks is a morality system.  For example, it doesn&#8217;t keep track of your good and bad choices like a Bioware game would.  Your morality has little effect on the main story.<\/p>\n<p>This is doubly frustrating because you have a lot of chances to &#8220;break badly&#8221; in this game.  You can steal, you can kill, you can become a killer.  And as mentioned above, you can gladly remain a monstrous vampire.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, none of these choices really impact your overall mission.  And it&#8217;s hard not to see it as a truly missed opportunity.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Talking is cheap<\/h2>\n<p>Oblivion has the kind of selective dialogue expected from modern RPGs.  However, when you have to get an NPC to do something, it gets pretty weird.<\/p>\n<p>In most RPGs, your charisma is a stat you can build.  And when you try to convince someone of something, the game rolls a virtual die, adds your charisma, and sees if you&#8217;ve succeeded or not.<\/p>\n<p>In this game, the appropriate skill is Speechcraft, which helps influence your success or failure in a special persuasion mini-game.  During this minigame, you can make four choices while interacting with an NPC: Admire, Brag, Coercive, and Joke.<\/p>\n<p>Do all of this with an active timer as you manage the rotating wedges that represent these different areas.  While Speechcraft sounds good in theory, she turns persuasion attempts into a stressful and annoying slog.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1649949468_864_The-Elder-Scrolls-IV-Oblivion-Review.jpg\" alt=\"The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Review |  Gammick\" class=\"wp-image-2606\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Combat: a mixed bag<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;ll just say it: the combat in this game is very disappointing.<\/p>\n<p>Most classes balance melee weapons and spells.  But any form of combat manages to disappoint. <\/p>\n<p>In melee, you&#8217;re basically just beating up an enemy that&#8217;s standing there hitting you.  There is no dynamic that causes it to fall backwards &#8230; just a boring back and forth to see which health runs out first.<\/p>\n<p>And despite all the available spells, most magical combat comes down to throwing some kind of fireball, running around a room until the spell recharges, and then casting it again.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, if you&#8217;ve played Skyrim before playing Oblivion, you&#8217;ll almost certainly be disappointed in the combat.<\/p>\n<h2>Final verdict<\/h2>\n<p>So, is The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion still worth playing?  The answer is &#8220;yes&#8221;, as long as you enter it with wide eyes.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re here for extensive voice acting (including Patrick Stewart), open world exploration, and fantasy sandbox fun, this is a perfect game.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re here for immersive combat, tons of dialogue options, and a dynamic morality system, you&#8217;ll want to find another game.<\/p>\n<div class=\"similar-posts\">\n<p>Category: Reviews<\/p>\n<p>Tag: roleplay<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was a real game changer when it came out.
