The game is set in the continent of Tamriel, a world filled with magic, mythical creatures, and ancient ruins. The player takes on the role of a character who has been selected by the Emperor to find the heir to the throne and prevent the world from falling into chaos.

The game allows players to create their own character by choosing their race, gender, and skills. They can choose to be a warrior, mage, or thief, among other options. The player’s choices will determine their gameplay experience as they navigate through different towns, cities, and dungeons.

Players can interact with non-playable characters (NPCs) and complete quests to gain rewards such as weapons, armor, and gold. They can also advance their character’s skills by using them in battle or other situations.

The game features an open-world environment that is both vast and detailed. It includes a variety of landscapes such as forests, hills, mountains, and even an entire city. The graphics are stunning and the sound effects and music are immersive.

Oblivion received critical acclaim upon its release and has since become a classic RPG. It has won numerous awards for its gameplay, story, graphics, and soundtrack.
