Cheap paper dodgy binding but a very informative book. - By: R. Craig, 02 Jun 2008
This is a great book & it's packed full of information not only with alll the quests & maps but also detailed explanations on game play, monsters, weapons etc. Its the players handbook of Oblivion.

The only thing that I don't like is the darn binding & the quality of paper. The binding is one of those typical books that you need to force open in order to read the text near the spin. Very annoying. The paper used is very poor. Its the same paper they use for comics, cheap an tacky. Come on guys invest a little more in your book please.

Apart from that the book is well worth the money.
With reference to the "Good but incomplete" review - By: G. Clark, 21 Feb 2008
The maps are there; on my version they are from pages 499 - 544.

They are not on the main contents list but they are there.


Good but Incomplete - By: Mrs. E. J. Matthews, 19 Jan 2008
The guide has some very good information about the game, building a character & walks you through the main quest. It includes information on alll the quests for the original game, Knights of the Nine downloadable content & Shivering Isles expansions.

However the book has some glaring omissions. On the back cover & throughout the guide it refers you to the "maps" section. This section is not in the book at alll. The maps are available in PDF format through Prima's website. However you don't buy the book for a PDF file, but for the paper version. The maps cover roughly 65 pages & include the map of Cyrodiil including the location of every dungeon, cave, Aleid ruin & fort.

Overalll what is included is great, well written & keeps the spirit of the game, but a huge resource was left out of the guide for some reason.
WOW! - By: Neil Wood, 24 Oct 2007
All I can say is fantastic! It has everything you need. Has a massive section on how to build your own characters & inlcudes alll the missions including both the expansion packs.

And at about an inch think I could rave about this game guide but alll I shalll say is if you love oblivion & want the most you can get out of it - buy this guide. It doesn't ruin anything for gameplay but tells you things & locations of places that you wouldn't find unless stumbled upon. For example alll the side missions - you have to kind of bump into them. This guide tells you how to activate them & where.

Basicallly buy this guide!
