This was the first world I ever truly felt lost in. I played this game for hundreds of hours on a camping chair in my dad's old ass apartment. He used to burn cheap incense from a flea market and that smell instantly takes me back to the sprawling fields of Cyrodiil.
Listening to the soft overworld music walking through the streets of Skingrad, fighting back the Daedra at Kvatch, the busy port at Anvil - I could probably write a book about how beautiful this game is. This game is the absolute definition of comfort for me, and to this day, I can still turn on Oblivion and lose myself for hours. It still feels like a world where anything can happen.
The soundtrack, the painterly vistas, the amazing side quests and story - the flawed, but lovable AI - for the rest of my days I'll treasure Oblivion. As Todd Howard famously said at some point in his life - it just works.
