Any of you happen to have played Gothic? (Just read the review that was linked back a few posts, and it mentions Gothic, heh. Who knew?)
I found the first and second of those to be superb RPG games. You played the role of a character, you didn't select facial traits and all the stuff like Oblivion and such, but the story was outstanding. The second was as good or better than the first.
The third sucked.
Anyway, just thinkin about picking this one up, if I can, and noticed no one mentioned what, to me, is one of the best RPGs of all time. Some may argue that it is an action/RPG, but it still has a great story and characters. That is what was missing in Oblivion for me.
Sorry, just a mini-hi-jack.
