IT WAS ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS WHEN EVERYTHING SEEMED TO COME TOGETHER, AND 'MOTHER NATURE' HAD JUST FINISHED HER MASTERPIECE. THE SUN'S RAYS WERE MUTED BY THE LOW SCATTERED CLOUDS, DIFFUSING INTO AN ARRAY OF COLORS, RANGING FROM PURPLE, TO RED, AND EVEN YELLOW. AS WE WATCHED THE SUN SLOWLY DESCEND TOWARD THE HORIZON, THE REFLECTION CAST A WARM GLOW ON THE LAKE IN FRONT OF US, AND THE SOFT LIGHT DANCED ON THE RIPPLES IN THE WATER.
IN THE DISTANCE, TREE-COVERED HILLS WERE SLOWLY TURNED TO SILHOUETTES, WHILE THE TREES NEARBY SWAYED IN THE EVENING BREEZE, TRYING TO GRAB THE LAST FEW RAYS OF WARMTH FROM THEIR FIERY FRIEND, BEFORE IT RETIRED FOR THE NIGHT.
THE CRIMSON ORB GRADUALLY FADED INTO THE BLACKNESS, PROVIDING A PERFECT SEGWAY FOR THE DRAMATIC APPEARANCE OF THE STARS AND HALF-MOON BEHIND US. AS MY WIFE AND I SAT AND WATCHED THIS BEAUTIFUL WORK OF ART, TAKE FORM BEFORE OUR EYES, WE COULDN'T HELP BUT SMILE.
THANK YOU, BETHESDA, FOR THE EXTRA TIME YOU PUT INTO THE MASTERPIECE THAT IS 'OBLIVION.
I got bored of its gameplay pretty quickly, though. I don't know, it feels like something between a half-assed action game and a really scaled down RPG to me. I miss all of Morrowind's options.
