No, just no. Personally, I hated oblivion (About 3 hours clocked in), loved Fallout New Vegas (55+ hours of gameplay) and I'm having mixed feelings on skyrim so far (12 hours in) It's a good game but it was way over hyped for me. Everybody was saying it was the next coming of christ and it is just not that great. It's bleak, monotonous and it the fighting is pretty simplistic TO ME (so far) I pop oakflesh on myself, courage on my companion and whip out a two handed and just destroy everything.  I have yet to find an enemy that I have to really strategize for.

Still, it has a pretty cool story, good dialogue and voice acting. Not to mention the scenery, although i little lacking in color for my taste, is pretty breathtaking in certain areas. Also, the dungeons i've gone so far into are actually pretty cool, especially if they lead to a big boss fight, like the dwarven temple/cave i went into with a giant golem at the end. It was pretty damn cool. All I can say is rent for a weekend or so, when you really have the time to sit down and play for hours. Then make your own call on this one

In your case, I would not recommend buying it without trying it.

I think I might end up renting.

 

Also, I agree with your song of the year choice.
