Introduction to the Oblivion Blog

Having grown tired of Skyrim for a while, and nostalgic for Oblivion, I have decided to start Oblivion again and document my experience. I previously played for only about 50 hours, and got to level 30, with a melee warrior character. I played Oblivion for the first time about a year ago and despite its inferiority to Skyrim in many respects I found the storyline, quests, and characters far more engaging than Skyrim's. So it's time to head back to Cyrodiil!

That title screen takes me back... a whole year. Why didn't I discover Oblivion sooner?!

This time I want to try a more magic-based approach, as Skyrim's magic system is awful whereas Oblivion's seems more promising, and my warrior couldn't fully take advantage of it. The time also feels right to explore more of the guilds' quests and side-quests, as I didn't really do much more than the main quest last time.

This won't be one of those awful 'in-character' blogs, though, as I hope to mix description with a general commentary on the game.
One last thing - I'm not an expert Oblivion gamer (or even a good one) and won't be levelling up 'properly' or worrying about doing eveything perfectly and completing every little quest. I'll just be enjoying the experience!
