Customer Reviews
A really good game but has two faults
When I bought oblivion it was very good to begin with but after a while I have come across two faults in the game.
The worse one as many have already pointed out is the fact that you can't be cured from vampirism, it is extremely annoying - I can never wait or sleep without being prevented from going out in daylight!
Another glitch I uncovered was after I had completed the nights of the nine quest an animation fault occured.This meant when I tried to sit down my character would be paralysed for about a minute unable to move, and when he tried to feed as a vampire the character just stood by the bed looking at the person until a message appeared saying that I had successfully fed!?!
On the whole the game is good though as you are allowed to do whatever you want and there are many quests to complete. It is a pity though about the game's bugs.
WARNING this game has a fatal flaw.....
OK the game is good but should you ever be turned into a vampire (a quite likely event) the quest for the cure has a bug that means it can NEVER be completed. I've written to Bethesda over this and they replied that there will be NO MORE UPDATES for the game. In other words once they have got your money they don't care anymore. Being a vampire places a set of restriction on a character that many people find limiting, or just so plain annoying that they give up. Like never being classified as a good character, never going out in the daylight, having to find people to feed on, etc. I would advise you to save your money for a game by a company who takes pride in their work and not support companies who refuse to support you...
Oblivion GOTY vampire glitch
I would give this awesome game 5 stars except as mentioned by other reviewers the vampire glitch is so annoying. I emailed Bethesda who told me that there is not a patch planned and I would I have to start a new game and avoid the vampire quest. Disappointed with this response I researched and found out by using the original Oblivion disc you can complete the vampire quest. I rented the original and fixed my game today! Of course we should not have to do this but if you want to cure the vampire disease this is the only way around it.
