Oblivion is one of the only games I've ever played that I can faithfully say was ahead of its time. Amazingly, it's still aged surprisingly well. While some of the systems such as combat and inventory management don't quite feel as tight and modern as more recent Bethesda entries, the main story still holds up as one of the best in the Elder Scrolls franchise. Additionally, the DLC content rivals that of modern DLCs in length and diversity of content. The bugs, goofs, and exploits have become almost legendary at this point and often make the game unintentionally hilarious and entertaining. In 2024 Oblivion is absolutely still worth picking up and experiencing.
