Several female dark elves, when asked about "rumors", will talk about a break in at the palace. They say what is subtitled, but once the line is finished you can hear "wait, let me try that again" and the entire line is repeated while the dark elves don't move their lips.

I can only but agree with what have been said by others; This is one of the greatest games ever conceived, truly!
However if you are wondering weather to buy Oblivion for PC or Xbox 360, i would recommend you buying for PC. Although you might not get the exact same graphical performance, the Construction Set that follows the PC version is reason enough in itself.
For those who don't know: The Elder Scrolls Construction Set is a program that holds resources that lets you create, tweak and mod all, and that means *all*, aspects within the game. This opens up a whole new aspect of gameplay. Files produced by people who use this set is uploaded to the internet and usually free to download, for PC. As far as i know, this is not an alternative for Xbox 360. Consider this when debating on what platform to buy for. Take into account all the new aspects of gameplay it opens up.
But bottom line is, anyway: *But this game!*
