I want to try and play Oblivion again but I'm not sure what build to use. I got bored really quickly using a generic sword and board character with a few spells. Are two-handed weapons more fun? Is archery worth it? Only stuff I want to avoid is stealth shit.

heavy armored battle mage with sword and shield, alteration, destruction, other magics

also you can switch between sword and shield and 2h both are fun just pick blade or blunt

WALK IN THIS BITCH
I STAY ZOOMIN AYY

This is correct

every area of combat in this game is poop. this game also has the most painstakingly slowest skill growth system out of any rpg. you won't get any decent magic until you've leveled your destruction to 50 and that takes forever. spells are also insanely expensive. two hand is equally as weak as one hand except you just do less damage per second. you'll only like archery if you have like 200 arrows and the patience to shoot them all at one foe. won't be viable until you can invest in enchantment of some sort and you won't get good sigil enchantments until you're about level 15+. if you want to take the path of least resistance, just wield a shortsword.

I remember having fun with the assassin class. Stealthy archer, short blades (not daggers) and poisons

is there a mod that makes all the characters look like people instead of terrifying monsters?

Monkey's paw that transforms them into androgynous Korean waifus

everytim

i think i would prefer that than the scary uncanny valley look they have by default.

redguards are not black

There is a mod that changes the heads to be more like Skyrim's

>which was an earlier game in the skyrim series
skyrim 2 when?

link?

stealth archer is unironically the most fun I've had in oblivion, level acrobatics/athletics and get the springheel jak boots and you're flipping around like a crazy person and running on roofs.

of all the skills skyrim got rid of, acrobatics and athletics are probably the two I miss the most.
get oblivion character overhaul, it's pretty good

that's a vast improvement

extensively modding Oblivion is a fucking nightmare though, always crashes for me, even when using OBMM or some shit.

It gives the game a completely different feel

that's just part of the bethesda experience though

Just break the game like any other sensible person would do. Playing the way the devs intended is the worst way.

fuck that. i want pancake npcs

the leveling system is bullshit if you don't plan every skill out perfectly. to max out your attribute bonuses each level (+5), you need to be using skills that aren't in your main 7. if you don't level up with +4 and +5 in your attributes the enemies start scaling way above your power and everyone fucks you in the ass. or you could stay stay under level 10 the entire game which is comfy but boring.

WHY do i always read that in Dunkey's review-voice

stealth archery is unironically the best build. so unbelievably broken, even on console where you have to aim with shitty thumb sticks
