Best Elder Scrolls and one of the best games ever made. Even with the repetitive dungeon layout at times, and the "impactless" combat, it was amazing.

What made it so good, if I may ask? My honest opinion (although based off of very little playtime) is that it was a worse version of Skyrim.

I remember playing the game, getting out of the jail in the beginning, and roaming around not knowing what to do until a rogue wolf chased me into a pit of sorts whereupon I died. By that time I was so bored/frustrated with it that I never played it again.

Can't speak for Wright, but as someone who holds a similar opinion, I have to say the quest lines in Oblivion felt so much more complete. I literally had a playthrougsh where I avoided all questlines but the Mages Guild/Thieves Guild/Dark Brotherhood (delete as appropriate) and it still felt as epic as ever. Each guild had a whole games' worth of quests with their own story twists and turns. More importantly, those quests seemed to have a decent amount of thought put into them. The Skyrim equivalents paled in comparison even though most other aspects were superior.
