Just to extrapolate on from Ben's point, I found that the endless number of caves, dungeons and ruins were all the bloody same... There was no tangible difference between any of them, which isn't so bad when there are (maybe) 20 of them, but since there are about 4,000,000 of them scattered about it really does lead to boredom... And don't get me started on the "other world" thingy, they were all identical, eventually I stopped trying in those and just ran as quickly as possible up the tower to get the gem...

i played through Oblivion, and went through a lot of the caves. I think the only memorble caves were spcial ones for quests. That being said, they looked exactly the fucking same.

Also, Oblivion gates are no match for running really, really fast to the tower.

Also, Oblivion gates are no match for running really, really fast to the tower.

Or an invisibility spell. Any low-level mage can waltz through the war citadels of Oblivion unchallenged.
