Clicking the link in my previous sentence will lead you to a page that’s emptier than Windhelm’s Palace of the Kings after I’ve slain Ulfric Stormcloak and looted him for every single bowl he owned. Let’s take care of the draugr in the room first: The Elder Scrolls VI is still years away. This of course, was also an enormous commercial success, releasing on…well – everything – and selling millions of copies.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 It might feel a little clunky compared to most modern RPG’s nowadays, but it paved the way for those games to exist, and it’ll always be special to me for that.ġ5 years later, and we haven’t seen a single player focused Elder Scrolls game since 2011’s Skyrim. Oblivion was able to capture that bit of magic that only video games can capture. It truly felt like I was playing a “next generation” game. I had never played a game with a scope as massive, a world so rich with a myriad of details, with an engaging story to hold it up. I distinctly remember being blown away by just how big the game felt. It took a special game to take my attention away from the Master Chief and his adventures Oblivion just happened to be that game. During the 360 years, my main game of choice was Halo. I didn’t come to the game when it launched, mainly because I didn’t own a 360 at the time, but I was introduced to the game a few years later. Personally, Oblivion was a defining moment in my journey as a video game fan. It really wasn’t until Fallout 3 released two years later that the ambitions of Oblivion would be matched. It was mind-blowingly ambitious on release and was an amazing example of Xbox 360 hardware capability. Oblivion was an incredible game and ended up being one of the defining early games of that generation. Morrowind, the previous entry in the series, arrived on the original Xbox on Jand was exclusive to the Xbox console, and was that first baby step in the growing partnership between Xbox and Bethesda. Oblivion was one of the best selling Xbox games of all time and became one of the games you had to own. The game felt specifically built with the 360 in mind, and Todd Howard even wrote about the 360/Oblivion days after the Xbox-Bethesda acquisition. Oblivion eventually landed on the PS3 a year after the 360 version and even sported improved graphics in addition to more content, but it always felt like an “Xbox game” (from a consoles players point of view at least) Oblivion released during the Xbox 360 launch window and was the second game in The Elder Scrolls series to arrive on an Xbox console. The game was a commercial success as well, selling 3 million copies by January 2007. Critics and fans alike raved about the games deep role-playing systems as well as its ease of play and overall ambition. Oblivion was one of the most critically celebrated games of all time when it released. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion released 15 years ago to the day on March 20th, 2006.
