[quote name='trq']Slightly off topic, but I'm really tempted to bite at this price, and I need some advice.
I've been plugging away at WoW for a few months, and I enjoy it quite a bit. Is it worth getting Oblivion if I have what is, essentially, a different never-ending fantasy game? I'm not really interested in an anti-WoW rant; just "are the two games different enough to justify my purchase?"[/quote]
They are different enough. Oblivion has some MMO qualities, but is different enough (for the better? depends on what you like) to justify a purchase (especially for $40!).
