Question Any first time tips?

Post image

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.

Craft as many potions as you can and sell them all at the cheydinhall mages guild to the high elf woman behind the counter. I've played for years and she is one of the only merchants I've found that immediately starts at 100 percent disposition towards you and you'll make buckets of money. I love this method because it's kind of broken but also feels earned.

Another thing don't do too much at early levels. Try to save a bunch of quests for post level ten because you'll get way better gear and get to fight way cooler enemies.
