• Trophies and DLC content

Main story missions

1. Despite its huge open world, the main storyline of TES IV Oblivion does not take long. It should take you up to 15 hours to complete the game's main storyline alone.
2. The main campaign quests are filled with a lot of combat, but you don't have to grind your character. Both original and 2025 Oblivion features level scaling, which adjusts the challenge level to the hero's current level. As a result, you don't need to postpone the main quests and you can tackle them even immediately after finishing the prologue.

Guilds, side quests, and exploring Cyrodiil

1. There are tons of optional quests in Oblivion. These can be single side quests, as well as guild quests - each of the larger factions in the game world has its own separate quest line. Tackling all the major side quests can extend the gameplay time to over 80 hours.
2. TES IV Oblivion can be a very time-consuming game if you want to explore 100% of the world map, i.e. discover and explore all the locations, as well as find all the secrets. Expect it to take 200 hours or more to fully explore Cyrodiil.

Trophies and DLC content

1. Oblivion Remastered (2025) offers as many as 61 trophies (or 60 achievements). The good news is that the platinum trophy is not a demanding one. The most important convenience is that you can play the game at the lowest difficulty level with a negligible level of challenge. Additionally, you do not have to complete all the activities or discover everything. By focusing on achievement-related things, the platinum trophy will be obtainable in around 40 hours.
2. Oblivion has numerous expansions, with 2 of them being significantly larger. The Knights of the Nine DLC provides approximately 5-10 hours of additional gameplay. The Shivering Isles expansion is larger and you can expect 15-30 hours of extra content here. Oblivion Remastered also includes a few new quests, but there's very little fresh content compared to the rest of the game.
