Bethesda games may be what they are, but they sure do give lasting memories of fun emergent gameplay or just amusing quests/worldbuilding, especially if you were younger when you played them.
So naturally, I felt like installing and playing Oblivion again. It was an absolute chore, the slow, scripted sequences having to wait for the very slow royal group to make its way through boring assassin fights, loading zones, a terrible dungeon with constant pop-ups teaching you how to cast a fireball or do exciting stuff like eat a carrot you found in a well.
Even when you make it out of the sewer, you're finally thrown into the overworld but then the reward level scaling makes it so that you can't get that hilariously OP spell right off the bat through a quest, because if you did, it would be useful for killing goblins but you can pretty much forget about it past a certain level. Thanks Todd.
I'd say the best way to remember Oblivion, is simply to listen to the soundtrack .No combat music of course, it would actually make me remember all those great times when some invisible fish was stuck under the ground and following me everywhere through the game, making it impossible to do basic things like sleeping or would make all NPCs even more hilariously stupid than they usually are.
Good times.
