Book Reviews of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game of the Year: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides)
Book Review: No Index?! You really need one for a non-linear game like Oblivion
Summary: 1 Stars
Oblivion is a huge video game, with hundreds of characters, multitudes of quests that you can do in any order, and the action takes place in a vast terrain with towns, forts, prisons, caves, etc. As such, this guide covers a lot of material -531 pages worth. I think it does a pretty good job of covering everything - the problem is finding the section that is relevant to whatever point you happen to be in the game. Since the game is completely non-linear it's not like you can just read the guide straight through. Honestly, if this thing had an index, which listed all character names, location names, quest titles, and the like I'd give it 4 to 5 stars. Without the index you want to throw this thing at the wall.
Oh and one other complaint, they printed it on tan patterned paper (no doubt to make it look like old world parchment). The extremely dense text just sort of blends into the patterned parchment and makes it difficult to read.
Quite a disappointment. Hopefully a later edition will add an index and they'll print the damn thing on white paper.
