 Broken [UPDATED WITH SOLUTION] November 1, 2008

Be aware, the PS3 Game of the Year edition has a game breaking bug which cannot be worked around. If you are infected and turn to a vampire you cannot complete the 'Cure for Vampirism' quest due to a bug with one of the NPCs. The only known solution is to get a hold of a copy of the original and use that while completing the quest. Bethesda refuse to comment or patch the problem, despite having already done so for the 360 and PC version. With this in mind, I strongly recommend you steer clear of this title until the issue is resolved.
EDIT Oct 2008: I thought I would update a review to note that a possible work around has been found for European copies. You can bypass the bugged code by loading the game up in a different language that is supported in game like German (ie. change the system language to German and load the game). The bloodgrass should now be accepted and you can switch the language back.
Be aware, changing the language can interfere with your save. If you have been to Shivering Isles you may find your progress there reset. *Everyone (regardless of progress) should back up their save before attempting this solution.*
This solution does not appear to work on North American copies of the game. I have left the one star rating.. Oblivion is a good game but a developer shouldn't allow a clear bug like this to remain without an official patch to sort it out.

This is easily one of the best games I have ever played. I wouldn't normally touch this sort of game with a partically long pole, but decided to give it a chance. It gets the balance between action and role-playing just right. Once you get your head around the slightly complexed leveling up system (best learnt by jumping into the game and working it out as you go along, It'll all suddenly seem so clear)you'll be hooked. Unlike World Of Warcraft it doesn't take 50 hours to get to the point when you finally feel upto taking on that deadly mudcrab. There is a remarkable amount of quests and side quests & the Game of The Year Edition includes the Shivering Isles expansion which has around 15 hours worth of extra gameplay. Overall I must have spent upto 200 hrs playing this game and there's still stuff I haven't seen yet. Also the different characters you can create genuinely give a completely different way of playing the game. If you play through the game as a warrior say, then the next time as a stealthy assassin the game has a completely different feel to it. As you've probably guessed this isn't the sort of game you rent for the weekend. Prepare to have your life hijacked!
P.S. This game includes no beards. Well only one... but that's ok. He's a mad god. He's allowed.
