Markus Haferkamp - The Elder Scrolls IV

The Elder Scrolls IV: OblivionBeing a computer gamer for more than ten years now my favourite game happens to be a computer a game, a role playing game to be more specific, named "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion".As one can easily derive from the name it is the fourth part of the "Elder Scrolls" series. Just like its precursor "Morrowind" the story takes place in the fictional world of Tamriel, which resemblesa medieval empire yet includes fantasy races like (dark-)elves, dwarves and even a feline race.The player starts as prisioner, waking up and not knowing how he got into this situation. He is set free by Emperor Uriel Septim VII who uses a secret door in the prision cell to escape unseeen out of the Imperial City after having visions forecasting his death. Eventually he is murdered by mysterious assassins who lay an ambush in the sewers of the city. The player is asked to carry theAmulet of Kings to a man named Jauffre in order to save the world from a demonic menace. Although the empire's fate lies in the player's hand he is free to roam wherever he may wants to andcomplete numerous quests or join a guild.This complete freedom given to the player plus the dense atmosphere created by simply stunning graphics makes this game my game of choice. One can dive into a different, fantastic world and dowhatever you like to, may it be trading, fighting or roguery.
