Oblivion is the fourth part of the acclaimed The Elder Scrolls series. It is set in the high fantasy world of Tamriel, in the Septim Empire. The emperor was recently killed along with his sons, except one that was hidden far from the capital. Before he died, the emperor gave his Amulet of Kings to the protagonist, a prisoner whom the emperor believed to be a future hero he saw in dreams. The main character is fully customizable. His or her character class race, gender, age and other attributes are chosen by the player. His quest is to escape prison and find the royal heir. However, since the game is open-world, the player may abandon the central storyline and just wander around Tamriel. You can complete a variety of side quests, join various guilds and factions, or just fight monsters to gain experience. There's an option of "fast travel" that allows you to instantly move to an already discovered location. Game of the Year Edition also contains two expansion packs: Shivering Isles and the Knights of the Nine that expand the game’s storyline.
Runs well on modern hardware.

If once you get into the game it's just one blank color, try turning off HDR. If that doesn't work (like it didn't for me), swap shader packages 2 and 19, immediatly fixed my issue.
Before i had met with Elder Scrolls gameline i mean my first game play,i was listening Jeremy Soule soundtracks primarily more than a year and half,that was so fascinating and still making me quite happier. Each time when i playing particularly games with so excellent sound accompaniment like Jeremy Soule works.But my game path in Elder Scrolls started from Skyrim when my cousin got me involved in these wonderful lands of gazillion number of quests and endless adventures that i will never forget this unbelievable game process and keep this feelings forever.
Oblivion is one of my favorite RPGs of all time that I played back on the PS3. And playing Oblivion Remastered last year was a blast. Still, have to give this game a recommendation as the OG is still a classic.
