Good games for beginners/your first RPG?

What did you hate about it? Not that I cannot totally see why you would, and I know a lot of people who have genuine complaints about it, just interested in the specifics.

I felt that they really didn't know what they were jumping into when they switched to voice acting over text. The available words used to explain the world dropped to probably a tenth of what they had available for earlier games, and without the kind of refined AI and facial animations that you need to convey more meaning than the dialogue itself, the available depth of the world takes a serious hit. The Shivering Isles expansion really showed that the Bethesda team can learn and grow - it was very well written, with a story and setting they could convey effectively with the engine they had on hand. It far outshines the vanilla game.

The combat was an improvement over Morrowind's, but the scaling AI scaled a bit too well, so you never had any big challenges, and you never really felt that you got that much stronger. Oscuro’s fixes all that, though, and makes the game much more fun.

It's also a real pity that radiant AI didn't make it into the game in the way they wanted - it took too much processing power for the consoles to handle, and it was leading to kinda strange behaviour. Teaching NPCs rudimentary problem solving, but with violence as one of very few tools to solve problems, and you get a lot of murders.

GarandMarine:
Oblivion just felt... clunky. It didn't engage me at all. The story was kinda weak, they killed off captain picard too fast, the landscape was boring and samey... I dunno. Hard to explain I just could not get into it to save my life.
