With great anticipation about the Skyrim game coming out on 11-11-11, I decided it was time I actually get around to playing its predecessor, Oblivion. I am addicted to this game, it's true. I find myself always just trying to finish this quest before it's time to go and, inevitably, each time I near what I think is an end, there is another piece of the quest waiting for me.

Regardless, it has come to my attention that any hopes of completing this game before Nov. 11 are futile. Why? Because this game is endless. I have so many hours in already and I think I maybe have done three of the "main plot" quests. And unlike those of so many other RPGs I play, the side quests in this game feel like anything but. They are engaging, they earn me pretty decent rewards, and everything levels me up.

I emphasize the word everything because truly this is the case in Oblivion. If I jump enough, I increase my acrobatics. Just walking around town in a "sneaky" manner increases my stealth skill. And perhaps my favorite of all, getting pummeled to death by a bad guy actually increases my light armor skill. Oh man, I have a fabulous image for a web comic in my head for that one, if only I could draw.

Overall, I am enjoying the heck out of this game. I just worry because when will I play my other games if I can never complete this one? I guess I'll come to that answer later.

In the meantime, I have some more skills to improve.
