Is the question being asked over at Gamespy, and while they draw their own conclusions, the answer on my end is a resounding “Hells yes!” While i havn’t had as much time lately with “The real world” keeping me tied up, i still drop an average of 5 hours a week traversing the fields and farms of Tamriel. The Article mostly focuses on Oblivion’s initial hang-ups; memory leaks, crashings, broken questions, and the god awefull idea of scaled creature leveling. (no, i’m sorry - this is never a good idea, relativism people!) And whether or not the team at Bethesda were able to correct these issues.
Well; in my opinion they have - for the most part their patches have tightened up the game’s inards; but it’s the Oblivion community at large that have really come through - modding out the game in all ways unimaginable. Bethesda have also come through with some truely excellent content by way of a controversial pay to play module format. Again, i think it’s worth the 2 bucks for my own wizard’s tower.
All said and done, i think Oblivion has only gotten better, will continue to grow and evolve, and will continue to offer fresh adventures to anyone who has enough time to put into it. Now i just have to figure out how to get fired from my day job.
