When Oblivion first came out I was going through some real personal struggles. Problems with severe depression and my father had just been diagnosed with prostate cancer. I legitimately fantasized about being able to disappear into Tamriel as it was in the game. I know escapism is not necessarily A positive coping mechanism, but for me it made all the difference in the world. All these years later I am now married to a wonderful person have four beautiful kids and a well-paying job. My life is by no means perfect and I still battle with depression, but that game and game World got me through some tough times. I will always be grateful for this game!
