[oh, yeah 300 hours into the game . . . still going . . . ]
. . . and it is a hybred RPG/FPS [with fps fighting style, thank god]. . . much like DeusEx . . .
. . . the ONLY other RPG i liked and finished was KotOR series - but the turn based-fighting is gawd-awful to FPSers - the Story is Awesome.
give it a try . . . don't even worry about the character development . . . you'll catch on.
Thanks for responding to my question. I can see that you're sold on it. I've watched many videos of the game, and the only reason the reviews haven't convinced me is because of a simliar situation with HL2. Almost everyone seems to love that game and call it one best games ever. In terms of a first person shooter, I'd say it's nearly flawless compared to others out there. In its own right, it's an awesome game. However, it's still a single player game. My expectations were through the roof when I bought that game, so maybe i was being unrealistic. Either way, I never finished the whole game, because I got bored with it.
I guess after playing multiplayer games, i'm skeptical of a game like Oblivion that reaches towards the pinnacle of RPG gaming but has no multiplayer element. I'm still undecided, but the more I read about it, the more I think I may pick up a copy.
