Oblivion 10/10
Oblivion explodes with adventure and action, which you can lose yourself in for hours. Exploring the highly impressive fantasy world of Nirn, fulfilling quests, travelling for hours, it is truly a remarkable action filled game. Tamriel is, in this game beautiful and unique making it more visual and interactive. Straight away you are introduced to the different aspects of play, allowing you to adapt to the game. You get to design your character and can see the game from your characters perspective or behind-the-back perceptive (third person). The narrative explodes with an action filled quest defeating the Daedra.
Oblivion has a mix of genres, which is called a hybrid. The genres Oblivion include are action, adventure and fantasy. Stylistic conventions that reinforce the genre action is the fighting enemies, such as magical creatures, rats, wolf, rare citizens, and also the mysterious creates inside the oblivion gates such as Daedra Lord. Adventure is also featured in oblivion as there is camps, forms, mountains, caves and more that you can find and explore out side of the village, introducing new items and quests. The fantasy involved in Oblivion is the world that you love in, Tamriel. You can see different worlds when you look up to the sky as well the mythical creatures featured in the game help to reinforce the genre fantasy.
The story of Elder scrolls IV- Oblivion is that the Emperor Uriel Septim VII is being targeted by Daedra after murdering his three sons. The Emperor and his guards "The blades" are escaping the imperial city by going into the cellar you have been placed in, as it has a secret passage way to the sewers. Apparently you have been seen in the Emperors dream and he trusts you to go and escape with him and the blades away from the assassins; however the Emperor knows he is about to die and asks you to take the Amulet of Kings to a man named Jauffre the grand master of the Blades,at Weynon Priory. After this the Emperor is killed by the assassins along with some of the Blades, you then have to escape the sewers and explore Cyrodill. As there is no longer a heir to the throne it has broken a covenant, opening oblivion gates around Tamriel, putting it in harm. Jauffre explains that there is only one person who can stop Daedra and the oblivion gates, Martin who is a royal bloodline, so he can retake the throne and relight the Dragonflies. Martin is a priest to the city Kvatch which Daedra has already destroyed leaving a few survivors. The only problem is a huge oblivion gate blocks the city Kvatch and you have to enter the planes of oblivion from the inside to vanish it, so that you can get into the city Kvatch and talk to Martin. After closing the oblivion gate and talking to Martin you find yourself travelling back to Weynon Priory to see that it has been invaded by assassins and that the Amulet of Kings has been stolen. martin is sent to to Cloud Ruler Temple, which is run by the Blades. You are entered into their ranks and are sent to help find the amulet and the information you find reveals that the assassins are apart of the Mythical Dawn, a cult dedicated to the worshiping of Mehrunes Dagon, the Daedric Prince of Destruction. You have a mission to infiltrate the secreting meeting place of cult to hopefully reiterate the amulet. A portal has been opened by the Mythic Dawn books.
