The combat in Oblivion is fantastic.

I know many people complain about it, but I never understood why.

While in most games, like The Witcher for example, you have nicer animations, I think Oblivions combat is much more realistic. It's very organic and raw. You feel very connected to the physics and the power of the combat, there's an immediate feedback for every hit and move.

Even playing with a keyboard and mouse it feels like there's rumble, it's that good.
(and on console versions you have rumble of course)

Archery in it is fantastic, but sword and shield too.
