As a longtime Skyrim fan and player, I always noticed the NPCs sometimes talking about or mentioning characters or events from Oblivion. So when I got Oblivion for my 14th birthday recently, this game exceeded my expectations. I absolutely love the character costumization, because they let you go crazy with it. The characters are much more lovable, especially Martin Septim and Lucien Lachance. I love the open world, the soundtrack is both beautiful and emotional, and overall, Oblivion has this kind of Elder Scrolls magic that Skyrim lacks completely. This game is, by far, the BEST game I have ever played, and I highly recommend it.
