Oblivion, the cornerstone of rpgs.
If your a Rpg newbie, or even a veteran, you cant go wrong with oblivion.
It will eat hours of your life without you even knowing it, and the graphics are simply amazing for a game published in 2004. It may not be Half life 2 or Crysis, but its still amazingly real.
The game is amazing in terms of gameplay; people will run away when attacked, or if they are brave enough, they will fight you to the death. The city guards have amazing fields of view, so try not to be too obvious if your trying to steal everyones' possesions. ^^
Playing through the entire game, including all the extra quests and dungeon crawling, it would take a very long time to complete. Most of the time, you sort of forget about some quests, and just go hunting to increase your levels.
Theres four main paths your character can go down: A Fighter (good at absorbing damage, and dishing it back out), A Mage or Wizard (bringing the elements to destroy their enemies), a stealthy character (exceptional at sneak attacks and stealing others possesions), or a hybrid of these three main paths.

From the moment that you create your character, you can tell that the game will be an amazing and enthralling experience.
The best way to increase the games replay value is by downloading mods. In this game, mods are essential there to fix the little things that Bethseda Inc missed.
Out of 10, I would give this game a 8 1/2.
It has times where the gameplay is dull, and you feel lost in the immense world, but there is also times where you feel that you cannot be beaten with your Armor of Ownage, and your sword of Nooblet Bashing =3
Catchya later, Thantos
