Customer Reviews

Cheap paper dodgy binding but a very informative book.
This is a great book and it's packed full of information not only with all the quests and maps but also detailed explanations on game play, monsters, weapons etc. Its the players handbook of Oblivion.

The only thing that I don't like is the darn binding and the quality of paper. The binding is one of those typical books that you need to force open in order to read the text near the spin. Very annoying. The paper used is very poor. Its the same paper they use for comics, cheap an tacky. Come on guys invest a little more in your book please.

Apart from that the book is well worth the money.

With reference to the "Good but incomplete" review
The maps are there; on my version they are from pages 499 - 544.

They are not on the main contents list but they are there.

Good but Incomplete
The guide has some very good information about the game, building a character and walks you through the main quest. It includes information on all the quests for the original game, Knights of the Nine downloadable content and Shivering Isles expansions.

However the book has some glaring omissions. On the back cover and throughout the guide it refers you to the "maps" section. This section is not in the book at all. The maps are available in PDF format through Prima's website. However you don't buy the book for a PDF file, but for the paper version. The maps cover roughly 65 pages and include the map of Cyrodiil including the location of every dungeon, cave, Aleid ruin and fort.

Overall what is included is great, well written and keeps the spirit of the game, but a huge resource was left out of the guide for some reason.
