Playing Oblivion for extended periods is a fever dream. The more you play, the more retarded it appears. The horrible bloom everywhere, the crazy NPCs with grotesque faces, the mundane life mixed with random senseless shit happening all the time. The feeling of running in place because everything is the same, both in space because of the generic forests and dungeons, but also in time because of the level scaling. The retarded bandits of the beginning are now retarded bandits in glass armor, it's the whole world around you that is becoming even retarded the longer you play, and it is probably affecting you as well. At times you almost feel that the NPCs perceive you as a retard with the way they talk to you. This experience is unmatched, no other game can give you the same uncanny feeling. Skyrim is boring in comparison because it is all the generic shit without the flavorful retardation.
