Oblivion is 7 bucks on steam atm. Should I get it?

[SckizoBoy]

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: well, yes, clearly. Get the GoTY Ed, 'cos the modding is really well supported, and it's worth the money if only for the side-quests (granted, the side-quests are actually more interesting than the main story, and the main quest in itself is not that bad).

Though if you're anything like me, you'll play through the tutorial before leaving your computer, sitting on the couch and crying: 'why did they kill Patrick Stewart? why?!'

 

[Servantes]

Hell yes you should, also MODS MODS MODS, if thats your thing anyways.

 

[DesertMummy]

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, ever. I really didn't like it, I really really tried to because as an RPG fan, I felt I was like supposed to, but I couldn't.

 

[Kurt Cristal]

Get it! GET IT! Dear god, get it with the GOTY edition expansion pack. I've played it so many times, it is worth twice it's current full price and you're getting it for a steal.

 

[Caffeine Rage]

No!

The Steam version causes big problems with modding.

I have the Steam GotY version and have found it to be no hindrance to modding. The only real difference in modding the Steam version vs the retail version is that you drop a pair of DLL files into the installation folder instead of running a separate program for more advanced mods.

Back on topic. If you have the slightest curiosity of what the Elder Scrolls series is about, Oblivion is a great point to jump in. More accessible than Morrowind, it still keeps the general theme of the franchise that you're able to lose yourself in another world and go pretty much anywhere you wish.

While I did find some of the later story a bit lacking. Buying the GotY version will more than make up for it in the Shivering Isles. Simply, a must buy.

Be warned. You're going to spend a lot of time modding just because of how vast the modding community is for Obilvion.

I gotta find that MLP clip of Twilight Sparkle circling around screaming 'yes'.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Depends. Does it come with the horse armour?
It's completely unplayable without.

 

[Kahunaburger]

Yes, then mod the living crap out of it. Oblivion's not my favorite game, but a lot of people like it. Plus, Bethesada.

 

[Elfgore]

I spend around 50 or 60 dollers on my Oblivion game. I feel like I didn't waste a single doller. Get the game of the year editiion and Mod the crap out of it.

 

[Sad Face]

If you like fantasy-setting RPGs you can't go wrong.
Amazing bang for your buck.

 

[mikev7.0]

Why Yes, Yes you should.

and duh.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

For $7?

You really can't beat that, even if you end up hating it.

 

[thenumberthirteen]

ZOMG Oblivion is on sale?! After being forced to sell my PS3 copy when my PS3 broke I've missed Oblivion, and was sort of considering re-buying it for the PC. Now I'll definitely do that.

I say get it. Ever at full price that game is well worth the money. Not without it's flaws, but you;ll get many, many hours of gameplay not counting the expansions and DLC. Also, while I've never used them (I had the PS3 version) the mods are supposedly really good, and fix a lot of bugs.

 

[Darth Sea Bass]

Oh dear god yes! it's an awesome game! I'm tempted to buy it again just so i can get rid of the disc copy i already have!

 

[Vault Girl]

why don't you have it already?

 

[w9496]

From personal experience? No.

Based on everybody else and their opinions and what not, you should get the Game of the Year Edition.

 

[HDID]

Well, if you want to play as a naked cat girl vampire thing cause you love mods go for it. Otherwise it's a grind and managing to get all of the mods you want working properly is such a complete chore that it isn't worth it, and vanilla Oblivion is boring as shit.

 

[monkey_man]

Yeah, you should get it.
And get Plants vs Zombies. It's what I did, AND I LOVE IT.

 

[Maphysto]

Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

 

[Risingblade]

I already have it for my PS3 and 360 but not for my comp...8 bucks...*runs off to buy it now*
