They reminisce about the game's initial plans as a day one launch title for the Xbox, highlighting the awe-inspiring screenshots that left everyone in awe.
As the reviewer embarked on their journey to review Oblivion, they found themselves spending four immersive days in Bethesda's basement, consumed by the sprawling medieval realm of Siridil.
