You'll soon find, doorman, that the constantly-leveling-with-you enemies dull your enjoyment of the game. There are a couple of mods that rectify this though, so I'll have a quick look to remind myself what they are and pop them here.

edit: this is the main one, that I've found to work well: http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=OblivionMods.Detail&id=268

I really like the fact you can change things so easily in Oblivion, so many games these days seem to miss things out & your more than likely gonna find a mod kickin about to add whatever you want.

some links that might be usefull....

The best tip I can give is dont go of & do the main quest to soon, I lost all interest in the game the 1st time round once I'd done that, try doing the guild quests - the Dark brotherhood ones good if you fancy being a bit sinister & generally not nice.

Bloody hell! What am I getting into here? :blink:

Welcome to Oblivion

edit: Oh, be sure to not cheat either. I did that on my first playthrough and it completely ruined everything. Had to find a mod to disable the console to stop myself.

If you play oblivion you eazyly can spend 200 hours in the game, but the problem i found most annoying with the game is the leveling curve, at first it takes you a good 5 arrows to kill a mob, but after a few dozen levels the mobs get so strong they take close to 50. Gave up arround that point...

In a post up there somewhere is a link to a mod that changes that leveling up thingy. I must say, Oblivion is just what I've been looking for. A game to play when there's no-one else around. It's good how it trains you up before setting you off on your perilous way. :smile:

It shoulnt be needed to rely on a external modification to play your game

[Gandalf]

I don't have a problem. The main char I chose was a thief and assasin. The bow is my weapon of choice and I'm a master at it. I can take down most mobs in 3-5 arrows and some are one shotted.

That does depend on the first shot being a sneak x3 damage though. Otherwise it'll take 8-10 arrows.

One of the problems about combat and levelling is that if you take non-combat skilly as primaries (i.e. speechcraft, mercantile, etc) you'll still level at the same rate despite your combat skills not improving as quickly. You might be level X, and facing enemies of level X, but since a bunch of your experience is going toward skills you can't use against those level X enemies, you have a hard time.

On the other hand though, I guess that's realism for you. A warrior is ought to fare better in a fight than a merchant.

I dipped my toe in the murky waters of magic and faeries and didn't like it. I have learnt my lesson, I'll never go near another 'verily, for thou art..' type game again! A barely used copy of Oblivion will be the first prize in a 'last man standing' drinking game at the lan

[Doorman]

realism

So it's a faerie sim then. :norty:

Rats, i cant make lan due to RL (almost graduating) would have loved a crack at that disk :boxing:
