When I got Oblivion for the 360 several months ago (I think it was around last Christmas), I liked it. It wasn't my favorite game by any means, but I liked it. A few months ago, I got it for the PC (the version I find superior, mainly for all the mods), and I didn't play it much. Actually, I'm not sure I even made it out of the tutorial "level". I find the tutorial to be pretty bland. Not even Patrick Stewart was enough badassery to save it.
When I got my new PC last month, I had pretty much forgot about Oblivion, at least up until about a week ago. Man, am I glad I started playing again. I never realized how much fun this game actually is, and I don't even usually like RPGs (I want to like them, but there are very few that I do like. All the Pokemon game up until Ruby and Sapphire (with the exception of FireRed and LeafGreen) and Oblivion are the standouts of my favorite RPGs). Maybe it's because I'm not playing a weak character this time through. I usually play a weak Thief or a sad attempt at a Mage, but this time I chose to play as a Spellsword, which combines Spellcasting and Swords (duh), so I am pretty powerful.
Also, I chose to use Heavy Armor this time through, so I don't have to just stick to Chainmail and other crap like that. I also got a pretty badass Glass Sword:
I'm currently level 13, Arena Grand Champion, halfway through the Dead Drop quests for the Dark Brotherhood, almost done with the Thieves Guild quests, not very far in the Fighter's Guild, and I still haven't joined the Mages Guild. I keep trying to continue with the main storyline, but there's just so many goddang sidequests, and I just get distracted.
