I love The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion<\/em>. I have completed it hundreds of times, going back to the Xbox 360 version when it came out. I also own it on Steam. This review comes from returning to my original PC disc, with a lot of mods installed through Vortex under Wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cyrodiil is enormous, but walking from one city to another too often leaves me feeling that very little is happening. I love the lore, but parts of the journey are boring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this playthrough I mostly followed the main quest. I did some guild missions, got expelled from the Mages Guild, and then concentrated on finishing the story. I completed this return on 4 October 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
