Let’s just pretend I posted this last year in November. So last night, I was extremely excited about going straight home from work, getting into pyjamas as 5:30pm and playing Oblivion until the wee hours of the morning. However, because I chose the race that everyone seems to hate (Khajiit) and a class that makes it difficult for me to level up swiftly (some magic themed one where the major skills are the six colleges of magic  meanwhile I’m always using a sword and sneaking around) I really suck at every quest I attempt because I either a) get creamed or b) characters don’t like me and won’t tell me the information I need to progress. There seems to be a lot of racial prejudice in this game because if I chose the race that is basically a white man, I would actually find more money in chests compared to other races and people would want to talk to me, as opposed to talking to a creepy cat lady. I couldn’t take any more and hurled Oblivion across the room and swiftly changed to Skyrim. Since last night at about 7:30pm until now I have only stopped playing to sleep for 6 hours and to heat up the pizza I had delivered to my house for dinner, which has lasted me until lunch time today. I think it has consumed my life, which is bad obviously because I work full time and I have to study, I may even want to continue having interaction with humans. I haven’t felt this way since I first played Fallout 3. The fact it feels like I am playing Fallout 3 only a million times better is also exceptionally awesome. This goes beyond the hype and I’m sad I didn’t make it a priority sooner. 

side note: 15 hours in and I have not heard a single person go on about arrows in knees.
