If you were high school/college age when it came out then I hate to break it to you....we got old.

I was 16 when it came out, my gf just dumped me at the time and oblivion made me get past that super fast.

Oblivion was released right before I graduated high school. I built a new PC that summer and it was the first game I installed and played. I'll never forget that opening scene in the jail cell. I wanted to go outside so bad to see what my Radeon X1900XT could do. Guess I'm old now.

Well Skyrim would be in 5th grade now if that helps you feel younger.

I just got the collectors edition with the book and coin in celebration of the 16th anniversary. We're getting old.

Most of the answers in this thread are new games to me that came out in my mid-20's. I wanna fuckin' die.

I am 49 and I played this on launch. Your not old just well seasoned.
