However if you decide to give it the time of day, you will be surprised to discover just how much this game has to offer. Mass Effect 2 became my second favorite game this generation(behind Metal Gear Solid 4), which is also a Western RPG. However after playing Oblivion again today, I have fell in love with the game once again, and to this day I cannot deny that it was the best Western RPG made this generation. It is a bold claim to make, so what kind of so called journalist would I be if didn't try to back it up? Well here are a few reasons why Elder Scrolls: Oblivion is so great.
Created by Bethesda Softworks, The Elder Scrolls is hailed as one of the most groundbreaking RPG franchises.
GF365: "If you’re a reader, this list of great games for avid readers is for you. Games are a form of art, and some have written literature in them."
Non-playable characters in certain games are meme material, thanks to their foolish behavior. These are the big-budget games with the dumbest NPCs.
Bethesda makes the most consistently stupid NPCs, like really bad... yet I still can't help but love playing their games. Guilty pleasure, I guess. *sigh* 😩
Every Bethesda game and Every Halo game. This list needed to have Cyberpunk somewhere.
I think Fallout 3 is better, but i like oblivion the game was awesome.
Oblivion was a failure in my eyes. Best western rpg would go to Mass Effect 2.
oblivion. off topic though, the best rpg is Demons Souls.
Have they forgotten Demon Souls
I loved Oblivion. Great RPG.
But I'm currently playing Fallout 3 for the first time and it's rocking my world.
Personally I think The Mass Effect series will be the best WRPG games for a long time to come.
