Is it still worth playing?

Bethesda Game Studios' 2006 open world role playing game for Windows and the Xbox 360, later the PlayStation 3, set in the province of Cyrodiil. The main story follows your efforts to thwart the Mythic Dawn, a fanatical cult that plans to open gates to the demonic realm of Oblivion. You choose a race and seven major skills out of 21, and you can travel anywhere, delay or skip the main quest, and fast travel to places you have found. NPCs are fully voiced, a first for the series, and pursue their own goals such as eating and sleeping. Enemies scale to your level. Dungeons, caves, mines and side quests fill the map, and two expansions, Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles, followed. It is worth playing today for a world that treats the main quest as optional and puts side content throughout.
