Is the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion any good?

The fact that the graphics aren't as good as Skyrim's is not much of a consideration, considering that Oblivion came out in 2006 (which is leaps and bounds different than now). If graphics ARE the only thing you care about, then you should probably not play anything from before or early in the 360 or PS3 development, because they're not going to look perfect any more.

Anyways, the game itself is actually quite good. As with all Elder Scrolls games, there's a good bit of lore and what not and, as always, a fairly decent amount of content to go through. I liked the story as well and thought it was pretty good. It's not Morrowind or Skyrim good, but it holds itself well.

Got a whole bunch of RPG of the Year, PC Game of the Year and Game of the Year from a LOT of publications in 2006 and the reviews were quite solid. Everyone I knew who played it (myself included) enjoyed it a lot.

It's worth the time, if you're looking more for story and game play instead of pure graphics.
