Just dropped a crisp fiver on Oblivion, figured 17 years of people telling me to play it was reason enough to give it a shot
Enjoy! Obviously keep in mind it's that old, but it's still the best in the series.
Interesting the differences of opinion on that. I would say that Oblivion, while still good, sits in an uncomfortable middle ground between the great Morrowind and the polished (for Bethesda) and successful Skyrim, and comes out as the weakest.
While I love Skyrim, I think most of the guild quest lines are much better in Oblivion, especially the thieves guild (as mentioned). I generally prefer to play with a leveling system mod that replaces the weird system they built, but it's a great game either way.
It's one of the best games ever made. Especially the Thieves' Guild missions.
At the risk of being a living meme... You should check out Morrowind as well. So good and weird.
