Elder Scrolls : Oblivion
Crikey. I’m hooked on Elder Scrolls : Oblivion for my XBOX 360. I’ve been playing just long enough to realize how big this game actually is… my sad little character is frequently pincushioned with arrows, but I’m learning how to run away (Monty Python style). So far I’ve scratched the surface. This is the “game of the year” edition, so it comes with additional stuff to do once you’ve completed the main quest in the game arc. There are several (probably hundreds) of little side quests that you can get sucked into, and being a generally nice guy, I always tell people “sure, I’ll go fetch / kill / stop / undo whatever you need”. And then it takes me a few hours to do that task and return to the activity I was originally engaged with.
This game seems to have a massive environment and I’m going to spend far too much time working my way through the fabulous detail. Sheesh. What a time vortex this game is… good thing it’s autumn and there’s no yard work to do…
