To all the people complaining about the enemy scaling being to difficult... You do know there's a difficulty slider in Oblivion right? If the tough enemies are too much for you just lower the difficulty...

I liked the scaling of the enemies. Kept the game interesting. All one has to do is tweak the difficulty a bit and they can have a game that is the perfect difficulty for any player.Anyway, Oblivion is well worth playing. It hasn't really aged well in my opinion, but is still a great deal of fun. Though be warned that the speed of your character may be hard to get used too... I recently loaded my old Oblivion character who has his speed at 259 (The max is 100, but there's enchanted gear you can get to make it higher) and my oblivion characters "walking" speed is twice as fast as my Skyrim characters sprinting speed!I also liked Oblivion's story more. It's a lot more original and finishing the main story actually changes the way the world looks and feels in ways I wont say for fear of spoiling it for you. In Skyrim aside from some guard dialog nothing really changes after beating the main story... There's no reward aside from a shout I never use and an interesting "cut scene" on the throat of the world. The shivering isles is a ton of fun, every TES player should have a chance to wield Umbra into battle, you can actually barter with shopkeepers (Some will find this an arduous waste of time, but I enjoyed the challenge trying to get the absolute best price for everything) Alchemy feels more rewarding to do, the bright colors are a refreshing change from Skyrim where everything is just a different shade of brown and grey.My only complaints is repairing armor and weapons gets old fast. Especially when your armorer skill is below 50 and you have to shell out thousands of septims to fix your enchanted gear... And the voice acting.... I don't like the voice acting in the game. It sometimes got to the point where I'd mute the game every time I was in the city because I was sick of hearing "Mudcrabs are such nasty creatures. I avoid them whenever I can."
