This was another good review. His reason for being in jail was just hillarious.
I do have some gripes about it though. He talks about that its all about "being in the right mindset" with other games...well Yahtzee, the same really holds true for Oblivion. I enjoyed the game immensely and found plenty of immersion and detail in the game. Yes, the normal NPCs were repetitive and had weird dialogue, but thats not really a problem once you immerse yourself in factions and the quests (especially the sidequests which are actually better than the main one in some ways).
Overall I loved the map, I loved the fast travel (don't like it, don't freaking use it), I didn't mind the level system (even though it did kinda take the air out of the power feeling of leveling up) and the amount of content in the game is just immense.
One thing he didn't really pick up on was the whole Modding ability of Oblivion, there are so many good mods out there which really spice everything up (from better inventory, to new items/graphics, new game rules to new quests and areas).
This review kinda feels like Yahtze just wasn't in the right mindset for the game and just let it water out pretty quickly.
