The folks over at GameSpy has slapped up their take on Bethesda Softworks' hit RPG, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Here's a snippet on the game's world:

One the most remarkable aspects of Oblivion is how real the world feels. There's an extraordinary rush that comes from walking out of the prison sewers at the beginning of the game, taking in the beautiful vista, and realizing that everything the player can see is "real." The world of Tamriel is simply enormous, and there's not an inch of it that's not filled with interesting things to see and do. Oblivion has non-quest dungeons that are as large, well-designed, and interesting as another RPG's main storyline content. Merely playing through the main story quest (which can take 60+ hours to complete) means missing 90% of the game's content. It's no exaggeration to say that fully exploring Oblivion will take players months, not days.
