Ah, Oblivion – the game that I bought originally when it came out for PC, played about 10 hours into it, got overwhelmed, and quit. Since borrowing it from my brother last Christmas, I’ve tried again and again to get into it, only to stop before I really even left the first zone because I just didn’t feel like tackling this monster of a game. It was good that there were Achievements this time to guide me, since without them I felt like I could be lost in the game forever. After finding some guidance in a noob Oblivion thread on a forum, I decided to force myself to start the game.

This was maybe two weeks ago. Now I can say I’ve finished the game, but I don’t think I can ever say I’ll have completed it since it is so massive in scope. 50 hours and 1000 Achievement points is good enough for me. I understand now why the game was so well received, and I can only agree.
