First let me say that Oblivion isn't a polished game. I know you think it is a polished game, but that is merely lack of experience. For you it may be a enthralling new experience. For anyone who has spent any time playing massive titles they will give you the critical overview. Oblivion is not wholly original nor is it exceptional. Worse yet it uses many of the industries worst practices.

One word springs to mind when I think of Oblivion generic. Everything is generic the world, the dungeons, the flora and the fauna. Combat isn't all that spectacular you can play the game as a mere button masher, and it has all the tried and true drudgery you will find in many massive titles. Even the world navigation is piss poor.

Bethesda made a great call releasing the title of that there is no doubt. A great many console players haven't really played this game type. For them it is a new experience, but if you have actually played this concept online for any length of time the shallowness of Oblivion hits you like a metal baseball bat. You wanted a list. Why not just give you a good link. I would say if you are this hot to trot about Oblivion you need to move onto the massive scene.
