Was Oblivion a good game? I'm blinded by nostalgia and can only remember it being fantastic, but I'm sure some boomers out there remember the real deal, so tell me, how good or bad was it?

It was an ok game crippled by the leveling/scaling system

There are definitely good things about it and it's my favourite game in the series but I think you'd having to be delusional not to think it doesn't have issues. Most of them you can mod out so whatever.

It's a heavily flawed game but I don't think any of the flaws are offensively bad (like, it has things like ugly potato faces, but playing Oblivion doesn't make me think "seriously? this thing was supposedly made by professionals?") or bad in such a way that they get in the way of enjoying the better aspects of the game. Conversely, it does have strong points (atmosphere, music, some really nice quests mixed in with mostly all right quests, that sort of thing). So yes, I would call it a good game, even unmodded.

The biggest flaws were level scaling, monotone combat and samey dungeons. Everything else was great.

one of the most glaring problems is that no one ever really modded the women well enough. with skyrim so many people threw ideas at the wall that quality things rose to the top. the only other issue is more subjective, but i find the magic system in skyrim to be more engaging and rewarding than the one button thing. those are the only things that i consistently uninstall the game over.

The worst parts of Oblivion are the parts in Oblivion
I love Cyrodiil but you get fucking bored detroying all the portals
Ethan Ward
No. The main new features fail to be important or good. Daily schedule for every NPC is barely noticeable. Level scaling is awful. Cyrodiil is made into a boring generic fantasyland instead of what previous TES visioned. Combat is still simplistic. Dungeons are bad. The saving grace is music, exploration and quests. The problem with the latter one is thst there are only a few ones - the game shipped with like 35 proper quests.

I believe it was. It may not have aged well, but it still has charm. And of course, with the mods that exist, your experience with the game can always be somewhat different (that fact factor, however, is due to the effort of the fans rather than the game itself).
