Heres a reason:

You can make valid points about certain shitty aspects and lazy development, whereas in real life, the accepted approach is to accept its flaws, shut up and get on with it.

you can be a hero and save the world even though in real life you don't really have that abillity...at all...ever....EVER...also the chance to talk to what's-his-name sounds cool.

I tried to think of something that made Oblivion better, but... Oblivion just plain isn't better than real life.

No sex.

People maintain eye contact with you in Oblivion.

You can go on a few dungeon crawls, amass a generous fortune and retire peacefully and happily to a small winter cottage in Bruma. You can then rob the laughabley unperceptive smithy every week for income and weaponry to guard your home before going for a gentle stroll upto a quiet, serene temple guarded by loyal, friendly samurai atop a majestic mountain range with a refreshign breeze and glorious view. And then there's the whole being the single most competant archaeolagist in the world, that or all the others are too busy to go visit the ancient elven ruins with the doors unlocked.

As for that unicorn, how was I able to kill it before I even got the quest? It was kinda annoying given that I actually wanted to ride the damn thing, but the 3 minataurs forced me to draw steel.
And if you think the unicorn following you is bad, I got the great weylkind stone early so had no idea what to do with it, I was just rushing through grabbing all the loot, so when the lich shows up in the skingrad courtyard murdering all the guards between him and I, well, I kinda had to take a detour through the private part of the castle just to get away from him.

Dive Rock + Adoring Fan = endless fun.

"Stop right there, criminal scum! Your spree is at an end!"

I would go over to Oblivion just to have a guard scream that at me.

Big one here, you can go out an kill whatever you feel like an no one will really care (so long as your not in a city, and even if you are all you got to do is sleep and your entire life sentence is over)

You can memorise entire books in less than a second... how I wish I had this skill in school

The gods actually do stuff

Deadric armour beats jeans and t-shirt hands down

Crouching in a corner makes you invisible, great for when the Jehovas witnesses call round

You can tell what you're about to say will piss someone off before yuo say it to them

Major blade and axe wounds leave no visible scars

When the weather's shity you can wait a day for it to clear in a matter of seconds

You can beat your friends up as much as you like and they'l never hit you back
You sir, are now my hero :)

You can make someone your best friend by accurately hitting a button and using the joystick *speechcraft*
Or giving them a few gold coins!

You can run around a city with a battle axe and no-one says a thing.
Leave a bag in the wrong place these days and there are cops everywhere.

I think i like the permanent 100% invisibility clothes

or destroying hell from the inside
If I had a 100% Chameleon suit in real life there is no end to the mayhem I would cause. I'd sneak up on bank tellers, steal their keys, then sneak into the vault and steal all the money (or at least all the hundreds and twenties). Stuff turns invisible once it enters your inventory...

Another nice thing about the bank-heist scenario that's better in Oblivion than in real life is that in Oblivion money is weightless, so carrying millions of dollars' worth of those presidential gold coins the US is putting out over the next few years wouldn't weigh me down one little bit.
