The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game of the Year Edition Deluxe (PC) - GOG.COM Key - GLOBAL

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game of the Year Edition presents one of the best RPGs of all time like never before. Step inside the most richly detailed and vibrant game-world ever created. With a powerful combination of freeform gameplay and unprecedented graphics, you can unravel the main quest at your own pace or explore the vast world and find your own challenges. 

Also included in the Game of the Year edition are Knights of the Nine and the Shivering Isles expansion, adding new and unique quests and content to the already massive world of Oblivion. See why critics called Oblivion the Best Game of 2006. 

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is a huge step forward, in comparison to Morrowind. Especially in the context of graphics. The game is really beautiful and the hdr lighting is impressive even by today’s standards. The same can be said about climatic and beautiful audio. The gameplay also took a huge step forward. Still it is a large, open world game with huge amount of quests, npcs, items and things to do. The game does not force you to do anything. It is your decision. 

However, Oblivion also has a huge plethora of interesting characters. For example Mehrunes Dagon. Enemy of every living race in the Oblivion. He believes, that he is in fact the true ruler of the entire world. And he tries to prove it to everyone. Then, there is Azura. One of Daedic princes, who rules over the sphere of transition. The only Daedric lord, who somehow can be considered a decent person.

Then, you are going to meet probably the most annoying character in the history of video games. The character progression system is similar to the one from Morrowind. Your skills are rising when you do certain things. However the combat system is much more complex and interesting, especially within the context of magic. User interface was also changed. Now it is much easier to navigate through items. In general you are going to notice development in most aspects of the game. 2K Games focused on the development of a complex and polished game and you can see that. Not without a reason, Oblivion is considered as one of the best RPG games, ever created.

Story and the plot

The story starts six years after events of Morrowind. The emperor Uriel Septim VII was killed by assassins. However, before he died he handed the amulet of kings to the most random person in Tamriel. A simple prisoner. The amulet is a really powerful artifact and Septim (played by Patrick Stewart) asks the prisoner to shut down the jaws of Oblivion. The prisoner is you and with this cryptic information from the emperor, you start your adventure.

Similar to Morrowind you are not provided with a direction, where you should go. It is entirely up to you what you are going to do. You can focus on your main quest or not give a damn about it at all. You can become mage, thief or anyone you wish or want. In general, you can spend dozens of hours in game and not touch the main story at all. The side quests by themselves might provide you with so much fun, that you won't even think about the main storyline of the game itself. You can also explore the entire, huge world of Oblivion, filled with interesting things to find.
