ES4: Oblivion

Okay, I've been getting kinda peeved because I've been asking about how free-form Oblivion is, and been getting no response, no matter where I ask. I would have to be a fool to say that Morrowind was a bad game... it just wasn't for me. I gave it multiple tries, and each time just couldn't get into it. It was too free-form. You weren't just given

Freeform depends on yourself. You start off the game with a very specific goal in mind, and honestly, that's about the only goal you can follow. Once you finish with that one and get your next major quest, you have a choice. You can play only the quest side or you can wander around.

There's plenty of ques to remind you what your quest is, and plenty of help to get you on the way, but you're not being guided by some great invisible hand that will slap you if you choose to ignore the main quest line for a while.

As opposed to Morrowind, you know exactly what you're doing here in Oblivion. You're the answer to the Emperor's dreams. ;)

Well based on your post here I picked up the game and am going to give it a wing (just installed it last night and looked at character creation! @.@). Thanks for the input. ^^
