For six months I have not played Oblivion on the XBox 360. Up to that point I had played for just under 200 hours. (My wife is closing in on 350!) This weekend, due to the rain and the fact that I pushed it a little too hard yesterday, I spent the day on the couch playing Oblivion. Sure I did other things as well, but the major portion of the day was spent saving Cyrodiil.
In the last six months Bethesda has released several new quests for the game. Of course I had to purchase these quests vis XBox Live and install them. I have finished a couple of the easier ones but still have a two of the more difficult ones ahead of me.
I have never played a game as much as I have played this one. The storyline is quite engaging. The best part is that you can pretty much do what you want when you want. Much like the Myst franchise. If you feel like first person shooting, you can do that. If you feel like exploring, you can do that as well. If you feel like making potions, you can also do that.
The hardest part of this is going to be what I do this week. If history is any indication, my evenings will be filled with Oblivion.
Hard to think of a better way to spend the evening...
