New to TES as Oblivion is the 1st game of the series whichI bought for myself as a Christmas present.
In this 1st time through (basic game on PC with Wizard's Tower plugin), I'm playing a more or less combat/magic balanced battlemage High Elf using the Knight predefined spec and Mage birthsign.
At this point after just over 200 hours in-game time, I've completed the main, Mages Guild and Fighters Guild quests plus a fair number of the minor side quests and still have a lot of places I haven't been to yet.
I'm absoluted fascinated and practically addicted to the game and looking forward to months if not years more gaming enjoyment.
