1st off credit where credit is due. It has a great variety of quest types and some fun mechanics like spell crafting and potion mixing.
But it has not one choice in the game. The main questline being a railroad is fine. But here i am with a bag full of black soulstones. Can i join the necromancers? No. Sone dude i never met tells me to kill my dark brotherhood family, so i kill him. He gets back up and acts like nothing happened, the order stands. A group of female thieves i was hired to track down asks me to join them. Agreeing isn’t even an option but at least i could kill the guards that hired me too.
Rpgs have branches, choices, and consequences. Oblivion has a series of railroad tracks that never diverge, one path one story for every faction. One ending to every path. Meaningless as it was even skyrim let you pick nords or imperials in their war. Nothing in oblivion matters.

1st time i played i joined the mage guild and used nothing but magic.
2nd time i joined the dark brotherhood and was a killer and a bandit
This time I’m a thief and a sneaky killer who uses bows.
I disagree with your opinion. Take my upvote
Oblivion is good once u become invisible , all u need is just stand there do hacking and alot skills will increase
I wish they added the legendary system for skills like in Skyrim
That allowed you to only level up skills that fit the role you chose whilst still allowing you to level up your total level
They really shouldn’t let you join the thieves guild or dark brotherhood while also being a member of the fighters guild or mages guild but I think Bethesda has always wanted players to be able to do all quests during a play through
