Beginner Tips for Getting Started

Starting your adventure in Oblivion Remastered can be overwhelming, but these beginner tips will help you get on the right track.

Creating Your Character: Don’t get too hung up on decisions when crafting your character. The beauty of Oblivion is that there are so many ways to play the game, so choose a character and skills that suit the play style you want to pursue in your playthrough. Keep in mind that most characters can become a jack of all trades by the time you get to the endgame so your decisions here won’t limit your capabilities too much.

Explore Thoroughly: Oblivion is a vast world filled with secrets and treasures. Take your time to explore every nook and cranny, as you never know what you might find.

Balance Your Skills: As you level up, focus on balancing your skills across combat, magic, and stealth. This will give you versatility in handling different situations.

Save Often: The world of Oblivion can be unpredictable, so make sure to save your progress frequently and turn on Auto-Saves to avoid losing valuable gameplay time.

Join Guilds: Joining guilds like the Fighters Guild or Mages Guild can provide you with valuable resources, quests, and skills that will aid your journey.

Manage Your Inventory: Keep an eye on your inventory and manage it wisely. Sell or store items to avoid being encumbered.

Learn the Map: Familiarize yourself with the map and fast travel options. This will help you navigate the world more efficiently and reach your objectives quicker.

Experiment with Alchemy: Alchemy can be a powerful tool in Oblivion. Experiment with different ingredients to create potions that can heal, enhance abilities, or provide other benefits. Once maxed out, you can absolutely break the game with Alchemy so we recommend upgrading this skill quickly in your playthrough.
