When did you start to play Oblivion? Options

Welcome to my first poll here at chorrol!

I started my cyrodilic journey in Februari 2007. I was fresh home from the horrors on Mars where I battled demons from Hell which really wasn´t my thing. So coming to Oblivion was absolute Bliss which is kind of ironic as Oblivion is the name of Hell in Cyrodiil
I have kept playing it ever since with only a few games in between. It´s as someone once said; "You don´t stop playing Oblivion. You just take various long breaks."
This truly is the case for me as I now approach the 1800 hrs mark with my one and only Oblivion character you know as Lothran.

So when did you start to play this masterpiece?

Jumping in a bit late (like 5 years too late ), but I have just noticed this thread....

I started playing Oblivion in August 2006. I can still remember walking into the old gaming store (which has long since closed down and become a ladies handbag store ) and sitting on the shelf and just staring straight at me was the limited edition box. I picked it up, turned it over. Oblivion eh? I said to myself.

Oh, that OBLIVION, that MORROWIND! Yes, please, I will have a go at this.

Taking the game home I put the disc into the 360 and was disappointed to hear that the audio for the intro music was cutting in and out. Oh man, what sort of quality control do these Beth guys have?

Exiting the game I removed the disc, cleaned it and started it again. This time things were perfect. Sorry Beth...

Half and hour later I exited the tutorial dungeon and thought- Damn!! Look at how big this game is!

I worried that somebody from the Imperial Guard would try to arrest my prisoner, so ignoring the main quest I rushed quickly into the nearest forest I could find.

And I have never looked back.
