9. The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion

I have a special place in my heart for the elder scrolls games. Why? Because they give me an out to reality. Truth be told, I'm really a loser IRL so I need to play video games in order to feel empowered! That's where Bethesda came along and was all like, "Hey there little man? Feeling down? How about bashing some mud crabs up with this warhammer?" I was all like, "Yes sir, this appeals to my needs" And that's how a long lasting relationship was consummated.

What I love most about Bethesda games and in particular Elder Scrolls 4 is it's depth. There's so many weapons and skills to learn, so many places to visit, so many quests to fulfill, and so many people to mutilate! This goes along with the whole 'empowerment' thing I'm talking about. But what I like most is the sense of journey that the game has... it ranges from EPIC when storming into an oblivion gate to somber and subtle when just walking along the coast near Anvil.

So yeah, I love this game... and all 3 of its voice actors
