[quote name='munch']So when does Oblivion become fun? I entered into the first gate, kill a few of those things, then die trying to fight another.[/QUOTE]
Helpful Hint: Don't do the main story line quests until you are a pretty high level.
The main quest is seriously one of worse quests in the game. It is in the side quests where the game shines. Walk around, explore some villages and some quests will start coming to you.

Oblivion >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Morrowind. At least in Oblivion you can hit stuff. In Morrowind you can't even hit worms early on in the game.
[quote name='munch']It's not fun because the combat stinks and there is no sense of direction whatsoever, at least so far.

The combat is awesome, you just have to get in it's groove. Also you have to just enjoy wondering around in the game's world, I know I enjoy it.

This. Makes the game more challenging and fun.
