If you still haven't played it then it is well worth getting hold of. Some parts of it relating to the main story do get a little repetitive, but there is so much to do outside of the main story that you can almost play the game without even progressing the main story if you wanted.

And if you do get it make sure you install one of the mods that sorts out the enemy levelling system in the game. By default all enemies level up when you do so regardless of how much you level up your skills you are never any better than you were before. With these mods it keeps the enemies at their original levels so you actually feel like there is a point your all your levelling up

I forget what the name of the mod in question is. Some of the others on here should be able to let you know and I think it has been mentioned somewhere.

Oblivion is also highly customisable with a ton of hacks and mods available to do loads of things, plus loads of extra missions, stories and items you can add to the game.
