Yeah, I agree that if you were to do all that 6 times it would equal several hundred. Not 1000. And if you did it 6 times, you are easily entertained, because all the dungeons are the same, and the story isn't particularly great, and the combat isn't particularly great. Don't get me wrong I like the game and beat it, but 1000 hours worth of gameplay it ain't.

 

I have to say, after 500+ hours, I'm pretty much tired of Oblivion.  The aspect of the game that really hooked me wasn't the fighting, spellcasting, story, etc.  It was the chance to step into a virtual world where I could freely roam the countryside, stop at an inn for something to eat, buy some armor, then head home to a house I bought and furnished.  It's like a version of Second Life that actually has some adventure to it.

Yeah... it's not for everyone.  But I like it.

My current fixation is on Dark Messiah of Might and Magic.  That is one cool game.  Interesting storyline and a lot more realizm than Oblivion in some ways, even thought the story *is* linear.  For example, in my first battle with a guard I hit him with a third arrow and he turned and began limping away yelling, "I could use some backup, here!" 

Yeah, it's not a world simulator like Oblivion, but it's the most fun dungeon crawl I've had since Diablo II.
