To this day, I still own the box, all of its contents and a strategy guide for it. It's that awesome. While we await the release of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim , we cannot help but look back on what got us to this point. The previous game in the series, Oblivion , got itself a special collector's edition which hits retailers today to help unfamiliar gamers get a look at another province of Tamriel before we head north to Skyrim and we have all the details on the contents of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion 5th Anniversary Edition.
It comes with both of the major DLC expansions, the traditional game map and a sweet metal collector's case. For a fan of the series who may have already played through Oblivion , this is worth it as a collectors package in and of itself. Check out our E3 Skyrim preview and if you'd like to go back a little further into Elder Scrolls history, be sure to check out the amazing Morrowind mod which overhauls all of the game's sounds and visuals. You must find the lost heir to the throne and unravel the sinister plot that threatens to destroy all of Tamriel.
The adventure begins after a prison escape and with a quest to find a man named Jauffre - and eventually the illegitimate son of Uriel, the last surviving heir to the Septim throne, hidden away for protection since his birth. Ultimately, the Hero must stop the invasion from Oblivion and stand between the future of Tamriel and the Daedric Prince of Destruction himself. Oblivion is set in Cyrodiil on the continent of Tamriel. Cyrodiil, due to its proximity to all of the other provinces of Tamriel, is a varied land with the geography being swampy marsh-lands, snowy mountains, and mountainous forests and green fields.
The game begins in a prison cell in the Imperial City. Oblivion takes place in Cyrodiil, the province in the center of Tamriel. The player is able to choose from 10 races at the beginning of the game. The player can customize them in many ways, including age, appearance, complexion, and even eye color for certain races. The player can be a warrior, mage, thief stealth , or any combination of the three.
Cyrodiil has many wild animals, fabulous beasts and lawless bandits for the player to the fight. There are wolves and bears , but also goblins and minotaurs , and many other creatures throughout the world. The player is able to participate in combat with these enemies with a blade or blunt weapons, hand to hand, using magic , or a bow and arrow.
The player can also equip many types of armor which increase the player's defense, or stick to clothing , or wear nothing at all. When given access to the Arcane University the player can also enchant his or her armor and weapons or use Frostcrag Spire if the DLC has been purchased , which depending on the strength of the soul given, gives a certain strength enchantment. The player can also make his or her own spells in a similar fashion. The player has complete control over how they want to play the game.
The player also picks a birthsign and a class , with 7 major skills , and 14 minor skills, totaling to 21 skills, which fall under Combat, Magic, or Stealth:. In order to level up , the player must increase major skills a total of 10 times, in any order. The player can level up his or her minor skills through repeated use. The player can travel on foot, speed up the process of travel and exploration by buying a horse by any stable or stealing one, and by fast-traveling. Upon exiting the sewers all cities are available for fast-travel, but all other locations must be discovered first.
There are many joinable factions for the player to join, though only 5 have questlines associated to them:. These five have conditions for joining and also rules which must be abided by, else the player can be expelled temporarily or permanently.
In total, Oblivion has ten official plug-ins; two major campaigns and eight minor add-ons. A Collector's Edition was also released for ten U.
