Oblivion
The Elder Scrolls IV
The Emperor of Cyrodiil has been slain, and the world of Tamriel is being thrown into chaos. It's now up to one adventurer to find the heir to the throne in order to shut the doors to Oblivion and seal away the evil that lurks within.
Bethesda Softworks and 2K Games have released The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion for the Xbox 360 and PC gaming platforms. Before its release, the game had already received several awards, including Best of E3 2005 by several magazine publishers.
Like previous Elder Scrolls games, such as Morrowind, Oblivion features a great amount of freedom. Players can advance the story at their own pace while they complete an almost endless supply of sidequests and explore a vast enviornment. Oblivion advances this even further with a new artificial intelligence that Bethesda has named Radiant AI. This system allows the non-playable characters in the game to make their own choices based on other events/surroundings.
The game takes place in Cyrodiil, the capital province of Tamriel (the world of The Elder Scrolls), which borders on Morrowind. Like any Elder Scrolls title, the story of Oblivion is not directly connected to any previous game.
Pretty, very pretty.
Morrowind took The Elder Scrolls way ahead in terms of graphics and enviornments. With the power of new PCs and the Xbox 360, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion leaps ahead once again, with highly detailed enviornments, characters and monsters as well as full speech for all dialog. Voice actors include Patrick Stewart and Lynda Carter.
