When I was a kid in 2008, I was naturally drawn to computers, since it was my father’s hobby and career. You could even say that Oblivion almost single-handedly kicked off the popular trend of ‘sandbox games with wacky physics and AI glitches’ in popular media, finding its way into many early YouTube videos and memes. To this day, Oblivion is a staple classic that is still enjoyed by both serious players looking for a grand high-fantasy adventure, and silly ones who want to revel in the broken chaos engine that Oblivion is infamous for. Sure as can be, Oblivion also went on to receive praise and adoration alike, winning “Ultimate Game of the Year” at the Golden Joysticks in 2006, as well as Best Role-Playing Game of the Year from publications such as IGN, GameSpy, PC Gamer US, and much more. This was a mere four years after the release of Bethesda Game Studios’ last entry in the series, Morrowind, which received awards and critical acclaim on PC and Xbox in 2002. It had been delayed from an original release date of November 2005, and after much anticipation and hype, ultimately ended up being released as the first RPG title for the Xbox 360 the following March.
