The Witcher 3: Wild HuntĪs one of the best fantasy RPGs in recent memory, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is an absolute must.
And since many references to the events and characters of Oblivion can be found throughout your Dragonborn adventures, it’ll also help you brush on your Elder Scrolls lore. With similar - albeit slightly more complex - combat, a fantastic main storyline, and endless quests and locations to explore, this is must for anyone who might have missed out on this one before they dived into Skyrim. Oh, and there’s the small matter of shutting the Oblivion gates, which are causing chaos by allowing all sorts of nasty creatures to enter the lands of Tamriel. Suddenly you find yourself thrown into an epic adventure to find Septim’s heir and get him on the throne. You start off as a prisoner who gets visited by Emperor Uriel Septim (voiced by Patrick Stewart no less).
Originally released in 2006, Oblivion was groundbreaking for its time and still holds up very well today. If you want to take a break from being the Dragonborn, but you’re still eager for more adventures in the Elder Scrolls world, Skyrim’s predecessor is the obvious choice.
