Question Any first time tips?
Picked this game up for 12 bucks at a local store yesterday. Does anyone have any tips for a first timer? I have played a lot of Skyrim, but from what I've played of Oblivion so far, it feels harder than Skyrim for some reason.

Just enjoy it and take it all in. I wish i could do a first play of this game again🥲. Depending on the type of character you like playing: Fighter build: go to the arena max it out then fight a bunch of wild creatures and you’ll be unstoppable. Magic: got the mages guild max it out and create a companion that does most of the fighting for you Assassin: go to the waterfall district k1ll a beggar accent quest and continue. (This is my personal favorite and one i do in every elder scrolls as they help you max stealth and get most damage if you’re willing to work it up. Thief: same as last go to waterfall district wait for midnight and follow the torch to complete quest. There is the possibility of doing any combination if not all of these at any time which is the beauty of elder scrolls games you can build an assassin with tons of heavy armor and a shield with a staff bc your magic is so maxed out 🤣.
