played for like three hours straight yesterday as a break from studying and i forgot how good it actually is. like i can either spend my days farming in the little house that i bought in rorikstead, or i can run around and kill wolves and hunt cultists and vampires and stuff. best of both worlds.
Finished first playthrough with stealth archer (mandatory). Currently on my second and now realizing that mage is where all the fun is at. Magic system in Oblivion is so much better than in Skyrim.
