"As you'd expect, Oblivion features what appears to be a deep, involving storyline feature plenty of medieval intrigue and world-saving heroics, with just a touch of tongue-in-cheek humor thrown in for good measure. The game's story grabs you from the beginning, as you're tasked with aiding the land's beloved king as he attempts to flee an assassination attempt. Not surprisingly, he finds his end at the end of an enemy's blade, but not before he asks a small favor of you: save the world from destruction and bring peace back to his kingdom. As was the case with Morrowind, however, you can quickly abandon the main quest and set off to create your own story in the game's immense world."
