So, why did you decided to buy this game and play it? Personally, a friend was teasing me with it, and made me buy Morrowind. After that, I bought Oblivion.

I haven't bought it yet but I'm borrowing it from a friend.

P.S. Shouldn't the name be Why did you buy Oblivion? Not Why did you bought Oblivion? Ask and I will change it.

P.S.S Doesn't P.S. look like Project Serpent?

One christmas I was greedy, and I asked my parents to buy me (in addition to other things) the big morrowing collection. They decided to buy the really sheap $10 morrowind. Those words I said them asking for morrowind changed my life. I had no clue what it was. Anyway, I unwrapped it, put it in the PC, and it wouldn't play on our old computer. So I had to wait ten months till October before we got a new computer and I could play. I was addicted. Seriously. Then, I desided to get Tribunal and Bloodmoon, which I didn't even know existed till like november. We got them on amazon for $25 a piece. That's $60 on the entire collection, whereas if my parents had gotten the collection, they would have saved $30 or $40. Anyway, Tribunal was buggy, so I completed the bloodmoon quest, then got Online at the website. That was when I found out about Oblivion. I freaked out! The graphics looked awesome. Beth said it would come out in October or around there. Imagine my surprise when it got released in march! I hunted it for three days, but it was sold out everywhere.

Finally, I got Oblivion in March. I played and played. Then I started downloading mods. My first downloaded mod was the one that made Imperial Palace armor playable. I was tickled pink! Little did I know that just a few months later I could have made the mod myself faster than it would take to download.

And now look at me. Very different from the guy a year ago. Talk about change.

Lol, I got Oblivion off ebay. I had to wait something l like 2 weeks for it to ship from Ukraine. Then, I had to wait a couple months until I upgraded my video card. What a pain...

I didn't buy it, I'm borrowing it from a friend. Currently though I am not looking at buying it, cause right now I have to use Oldblivion and it barely runs.

Because, about a year ago, this Senior (humongous techie) wouldn't shut up about it in Drawing 1 class. So, naturally, I decided to try it out. He was right.

After recieving it in the mail last July, I made a cursory glance over the website, not even considering the forum. I was mesmerised by the game. The Guild quests made Oblivion's flaws seem minute, and I was entertained by sheer replay value. After a few months, though, I felt the tedium that accompanies the wear and tear of ANY game (Surprisingly, though, Oblivion lasted longer than any other game I had ever played), and so I decided to check out the forum. Soon, I learned about mods, and now I've got an innavigable list on my OBMM.

Then after that, I got frustrated with all the constant RETEXES... If you're going to make a new weapon, I thought, you might as well make a whole new model! And there I was, sitting in front of my computer for hours on end, fiddling with Blender.

EDIT: The Septim coin is still sitting under my desk.
