First time playing oblivion, still in the tutorial/intro. Grab the first bow and arrow laying a few meter from a well. Of course the only targety looking thing is the well’s bucket. Hit the bucket, it swing, cool. The bucket stop swinging and behold! It is now tilting on the side where the arrow is stuck in. Coming from Morrowind I had lots of gripes with oblivion, but that first arrow in the bucket feeling has been in my mind forever.
I remember the bucket, but my moment actually came about a minute later. A skeever runs towards me and jumps at me. I put my shield in front of me. The shield shakes, the skeever dies and its body ragdolls down some steps. The bucket was an amazing technical achivement, but the shield thing made me immersed in the world.
