I hated Oblivion. There I said it.

From my perspective, it's one of the most ridiculously overrated games I've ever played. I tried so hard to get into it, but was always pulled out by one of the many problems I had with it.

- Character models ugly as sin.

- Every character is voice acted, but there were so few actors that nearly every person in Cyrodiil sounded exactly the same, and save for Patrick Stewart's very short cameo, the voice acting was just awful.

- A huge game world, but very little variety anywhere. 14 square miles of identical green hills and old forts. Dungeons aren't much better, with only 2 or 3 different types.

- Unsatisfying combat. Everyone complained that in Morrowind, it didn't feel like you were landing hits on enemies. I was surprised to hear people say that this problem was fixed in Oblivion, because I certainly didn't think so. Combat still felt disconnected, like I was just trying to swing my sword in the enemy's general direction. Apart from a tiny splatter of blood, enemies don't react to being hit at all, making combat boring to watch and even more boring to play.

- Logic problems were everywhere. Good luck trying to get immersed in Oblivion's world, you'll be pulled out of it every few minutes by some event that just should not happen. My favourite example: Jumping up and down on someone's dinner table is perfectly acceptable, but if you so much as lay a finger on a piece of their cutlery, the entire Imperial Guard will hunt you down for theft.

There you go, that's why I hate Oblivion. Maybe it's not even relevant for me to be saying it. I just wanted to get it off my chest, because every time someone talks about Oblivion now, the comments are filled with gushing praise, and I figured I'd throw in my two cents on it.
