I had a great time playing Oblivion for all of six hours. I must have chosen the most useless class in the entire game: healer. Which resulted in me being too weak to kill anything stronger than a rat. I spent those six hours running from every enemy spamming healing on myself while I got attacked...
I had no idea where I had to go, what exactly the story was and where I was anyway. Eventually I found a story trigger. And then died within two seconds.... fun times. 
It was my first Xbox game. Good thing it wasn't the only one I bought. So Oblivion was quickly forgotten. I should probably have started over. But meh. Open world is not really my thing, I believe. I have yet to play Skyrim. I will though one day. To just walk around enjoying the solitude, and maybe adopt kids.
