This game is just astonishing. Game of the freaking century. Will be hard to top it...
And I agree with Moose. I don't see why people rush the main story... If you just do it ignoring everything else you will miss out on A LOT of stuff.
Enjoying my badass Imperial Warrior. Was trying to focus on dual wielding but I kept getting 1 shotted by mages... So shield + 1h axe it is until I find the "stoneflesh" (?) alteration magic.
Well Oblivion was just a big "meh" experience to me. I played it, I sank quite a lot of time into it, but it was never a game I could truly say that it amazed me. This on the other hand so far is bloody amazing. Whether that will change as I progress, well, we'll see. People are already saying the dragon fights get repetitive and boring after a while...
Depends why you thought Oblivion was shit I guess.
