Message: [QUOTE="Sinmenon, post: 199238, member: 3614"] Elder Scrolls: Morrowind is an obvious choice, besides Daggerfall (that is free on GOG). Both are considered absolute classics. [B]Dark Messiah of Might & Magic[/B] is an underrated gem in my opinion. It was released around the same time and its physics mechanics put Oblivion to shame; you can, for example, freeze the floor to make the enemy slip and fall into a chasm or break an oil jar and when the enemy get close set the oil on fire. You play as the apprentice of a mage who tries to kill you for some reason after you get an item, and apparently there is the evil of a prophecy that is coming and you can choose between the path of good helping one lady, or be part of the path of evi,l helping a succubus. This is the very tl;dr of the story , as I don't want to spoil you. [B]Arx Fatalis[/B] was also released around the same time as Oblivion and it has a unique magic system that you need to draw the runes with your mouse (the fan patch makes it much easier to do) and is also a very robust game. In a world where the entire population was forced to live in caves underground, there is unrest as the different races are starting to have a conflict. You wake up naked, disoriented, and the first thing that happens to you is that you are thrown into jail. It is another of those games if you go blind about the story, the better. (and there is a reason why the main character has somewhat stilted voice) [/QUOTE]
