He directs the player to the city of Kvatch, where he believes the last son of Uriel Septim is located. At the same time, trans-dimensional portals known as Oblivion Gates appear throughout Cyrodiil and spawn monsters across the landscape.Īfter leaving the prison, the player heads to Weynon Priory to locate a man named Jauffre, who is the Grandmaster of the Blades (the guards assigned to protect the Emperor). Dagon is the ruler of the hellish plane of Oblivion, and seeks to conquer the mortal realm with his Daedric armies and the help of a mysterious cult called the ' Mythic Dawn'. The player soon encounters the Emperor himself (voiced by Patrick Stewart), who later dies and gives the player character the Amulet Of Kings to give to his son Martin (voiced by Sean Bean), the new heir to the throne, who the player has to protect from a Daedric Prince named Mehrunes Dagon. Oblivion casts the player as a prisoner within the jail of the Imperial City, imprisoned for an unspecified crime.

The game is set in the imperial province of Cyrodiil, an expansive territory spanning several square miles. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion takes place in the same universe as its predecessors Arena, Daggerfall, and Morrowind, though its specific storyline is original. In fact, the team didn't get final hardware until the last six months or so of development. This meant that the team would be developing the game for next gen consoles that didn't even exist yet. Todd Howard said that originally the easier route was to do a two year sequel, but through much persuasion he managed to convince the "upper management" to give them four years to work on Oblivion.

Bethesda also released a Game Of The Year Edition and a Collector's Edition. The game was developed by Bethesda Softworks for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. Players are free to explore the open world of Cyrodiil however they wish, giving Oblivion a unique sandbox element. Though the core storyline provides a linear, mission-driven experience, the player is free to pursue a staggering number of side quests that slowly develop and improve their character. Oblivion is an action-oriented role-playing game providing players with a world they can traverse at will.
