Somehow, I knew you'd bring up Call of Duty... I'm sorry, but you can't compare Oblivion's story to COD. One took years to write, while the other was probably done by pulling ideas out of a hat.

I love Bethesda's stories. They're always richly detailed and have ludicrous amounts of backstory that exists only to enrich the game-world. From Morrowind through Oblivion through Skyrim, they put lots of effort into crafting an interesting and immersive world that enthralls millions of gamers. If you don't like it, fine. But many others do and we're all entitled to like it or not.
