General Thoughts

Guide Information

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion #1 from GamesPress

1. This walkthrough will help you beat Oblivion with flying colors. That said, you should keep a few things in mind throughout.
2. It is a dungeon crawler. This means you shouldn't have to be told to search chests and loot bodies. I will not tell you about every chest in every level and I will probably not tell you to loot bodies for the sheer sake of simplicity in this walkthrough. I will do my best to mention any specific unique loot that isn't randomly generated.
3. I played this on the PC. This means that I will be generally following the idea of using a keyboard to play. Thankfully Oblivion isn't really controller dependent and I will do my best to only refer to buttons by the action they preform.
4. Oblivion uses leveling throughout the world. This means that loot and enemies both get better as you raise in level. This means that I may not be able to accurately describe the enemies and their relevant strengths and equipment. Daedra in particularl will go up a hierarchy, with stronger versions spawning in missions if you take them at a higher level.

Leveling

1. I wanted to get this out of the way in the beginning because I will have to reference it a few times throughout this guide. The enemies and loot throughout the Oblivion world will generally level up with you. This means that they will not usually be far above your abilities nor will they be far below them. It can cause things to be very ridiculous though and it can make things very difficult if you level without improving your fighting abilities.
2. You can love it or hate it. If you don't like it then you can easily find a mod that reverses the leveling trends and returns them to the ways of Morrowind. I will whole heartedly support Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul as a way to make the game much more realistic...and much harder for a new player.

Natural Learning

1. Oblivion operates on a very simple system of gaining skill in something the more that you do it.
2. You will gain skill in Blade by hitting enemies with a sword. You gain points in Block by blocking enemy hits.
3. You will gain skill points faster in what you choose as your major skills. This is a group of seven skills that your class values.
4. You will gain a level by gaining 10 points across your major skills. If you're a warrior and earn 3 in Blade, 2 in Block, 3 in Heavy Armor, and 2 in Athletics, then you will gain a level and be able to upgrade your base attributes (such as strength and endurance) the next time you sleep.
5. You should try and level up evenly. Gaining 10 points in restoration or acrobatics through training or power leveling is idiotic since your enemies will gain health while you don't gain anything to your damage potential.

Training

1. There are about five trainers for each of the skills.
2. You may train five times for each level.
3. These will not stack up.
4. You CANNOT forget to train before you level. Do not go to sleep in a bed before you train at least a few of your skills up. You will not get the chance again.
5. They each hold a differing level of skill.
6. You may only learn from them when you are within a set range.
7. You can usually find information about trainers through the rumors section.
8. Trainers are usually logical choices. Mages Guild members usually teach magic skills. Fighters Guild members usually teach warrior skills. Thieves Guild members teach stealth. There are many preachers who also teach mid-level magic skills so always drop by and see if they have anything for you.
9. A list of master trainers will be available in the section for "Skills and Training."
10. Most master trainers require that you do a special quest to gain their training though.

Combat

1. Your fighting style will depend greatly on how you wish to play.
2. There is a way for you to be a sneaky assassin, a powerful wizard, a master fencer, or a hammer-wielding tank.

Melee Combat

1. All melee combat boils down to basic moves.
2. There are really only three tactics to use for it though.
3. Feel free to throw in some power attacks.
4. Just hold down the attack button and pick a direction.
5. These attacks gain special bonuses as you level up in your selected style.
6. The general forward attack will turn into a paralyzing move at Master levels.
7. The sideways moves can occasionally knock the weapon out of their hand.
8. The backwards attack can knock the opponent down.

Hit and Run

1. This amounts to hitting an enemy and running away when they prepare to attack.
2. You will probably put this to use against big enemies and enemies with big weapons.
3. Blocking is usually ineffective against ogres, trolls, minotaurs, and anyone wielding a warhammer. You will be staggered by their powerful hit and then left wide open.
4. This situation calls for you to run away and hit while they're recovering from their slower attack.
5. Feel free to throw a few of your basic spells at them as well to weaken them while you fall back.
6. The sideways and backward power attack blend well with this strategy.

Blocking

1. Hit the enemy when they aren't attacking and throw up a block when they start their attack.
2. Blocking their attack will at worst break their momentum and at best completely stagger them.
3. Blocking can even cause damage at high skill levels.
4. This should be used against small and medium size monsters and any human using a sword or dagger against you.
5. Tip: This style can also take advantage of power attacks well. Dodge their hit and use a high level power attack to stun or paralyze them. Then you can hammer away.

Berserker

1. Just charge and attack.
2. If you have good armor this works surprisingly well.
3. Your attacks can stagger the enemy and prevent them from ever countering.
4. This works very well against archers and mages.
5. You may wish to block while you approach an archer to help deflect the damage and the staggering effect of their shots.
6. Power attacks in general work well, since they will usually stagger an enemy and leave them vulnerable.

Mage Combat

1. Mages really only have a few basic tips to follow.
2. You may want to at least wield a dagger to slice the occasional enemy when you're out of magicka.
3. In general battle you will just want to use your spells appropriately.
4. This means that you cast fireballs or conjure monsters...whichever you like better.
5. You'll rely on running away for the most part. Just keep backing up and pick off your enemies.
6. Don't forget to buy new spells from the Mages Guild merchants.

Archer Combat

1. Archers are effectively the same as mages
2. You'll probably want a backup weapon in case you run low on arrows.
3. Consider having a sword class as one of your primary skills.
4. You will want to spend a little time learning to sneak so you can get a damage multiplier for stealth attacks.
5. You will play the coward for this one:).
6. The best archer tactic is to fall back while slinging volley after volley at your enemy.
7. Remember to buy more arrows and salvage your spent arrows from bodies.

Crime

Laws

1. The legal system is out to get you again in Oblivion.
2. Any action that produces a red icon will be illegal.
3. There are no illogical laws.
4. You just can't break into house, attack without provocation, steal things, etc.
5. Trespassing is usually just charged against you if you refuse to leave after being asked a few times.
6. Remember that moving another person's objects or reading someone's book is viewed in the same light as shoplifting.
7. The guards are a bit psychic and will often quickly determine that you are the killer even if they just hear the screams.
8. Using a rage spell to make someone attack you is a good way to kill inside the city.

Punishment

1. If someone sees you commit a crime they will report it to the nearest guard.
2. That guard will then relentlessly pursue you. If he catches you he'll give you three options.
3. Note: Your bounty will NEVER decrease and every guard in the game will know about your crime.
4. You can choose to pay the fine. This means you will go to jail but immediately bail yourself out. Any stolen property in your inventory will be confiscated. More on that later though.
5. You can go to jail. This means you'll be thrown in a cell with all of your inventory gone except for a single lockpick (if you have any when you're arrested). If you want you can pick the lock and escape, but then you'll just get a higher bounty on your head. It's better to just sleep in the bed provided and choose to pay your time. It works out to having 1 day for each 100 gold owed.
6. Note: You will lose all your stolen goods and one random skill point for each day spent in jail.
7. You can also resist arrest. This is purely idiotic for the most part. Killing a guard is a 1000 fine and they're usually tough anyway.
8. Tip:The only reason to resist arrest is so that you can run away far enough to pay off your bounty at the half-off rate that the some of the Thieves guild members offer.
9. Note: If the guard really likes you he will pay the bounty. This means it is worth your while to hit an approaching guard with a charm spell. You can also just take the time to bribe or charm all of the guards before a major crime spree.

Evidence

1. The guards at the jail will be able to look at your inventory and spot any item you've ever stolen.
2. They'll confiscate them and place them in the evidence chest by the jailer's desk.
3. Tip: It is ridiculously easy to get your stolen goods back from any jailer. Talk to the jailer and tell him that you wish to visit a prisoner. He'll leave to unlock the door. Pick the easy lock and chose take all.
4. Tip: If you really like a piece of stolen equipment and plan to keep it, you should sell it to a fence and immediately buy it back. This will clean the item and make it completely legal.

A Criminal Life

1. It wouldn't be much fun if you were always lawful though.
2. You will probably break many of the laws present in the game by the end.
3. The key is not getting caught.

Stealth

1. Stealth in this game is very basic.
2. Hit the Sneak button and then stay out of people's fields of vision.
3. When in sneak mode there will be an eye in the middle of the screen. If it is transparent then you are not seen by anyone. A bright yellow eye means that there is at least one creature staring right at you.
4. If they can't see you then they won't report any crimes.
5. Noise can make them turn around quickly though.
6. Your boots matter a lot when it comes to how quiet you are at early sneak levels.
7. Tip: If you want to train your sneak skill easily then there is a simple way. You just have to find a sleeping beggar or break into a big house that is one big room but separated into two floors. You can find these in Chorrol, Cheydinhal, Bruma, and Bravil. You gain sneak skill for not being detected by nearby characters. Sleeping character usually don't wake up with a lot of noise. If you are in their house start sneaking and run into a corner. Do it long enough to make sure your earning experience and then set it into automatic. PC users can use the Q key while XBox users may have to use a rubber band. Then you just walk away for a few minutes and enjoy the easy skill points.

Pickpocketing

1. This is actually a pretty simple process.
2. The bad thing is that many people don't actually have much worth stealing on their person.
3. Start the process by sneaking behind some person. Stay out of their field of sight and try to avoid drawing attention from other people.
4. Close the distance and get right behind them until you can select them just like you wanted to talk to them.
5. This will open their inventory screen and let you select items.
6. Your success rate will be determined by sheer random luck, sneak skills, and the weight of the item you're stealing.
7. I'll note that gold seems to be harder to steal than one might think.
8. If you succeed it will go into your inventory and you can choose to try and steal something else.
9. If you fail they will decide whether they're mad enough to call the guards and they'll be so alert that you can't pickpocket them again for awhile.
10. Tip: Just remember to do a quicksave before each pickpocketing attempt. Then you can reload if you fail.

Stealing

1. If you want to actually make money by stealing then you will have to join the Thieves Guild through their quest. #I'll detail your options for that later on.
2. If you don't belong to the Thieves Guild then you have no way to fence the items, since all merchants are able to instantly spot stolen merchandise.
3. A lot of items are not worth the effort needed to steal them.
4. You will want to focus on light but valuable objects like potions, wine, silverware, books, and jewelry.
5. If you can pull it off, you can steal a lot of valuable armor from the guard posts or barracks in each city.
6. Your best bet in general is to rip off all of the castles in the cities. Just hitting a dining room will get you about 200 gold from the food and silver. Many of them also have display cases with valuable items.
7. Castles are usually easy to rob too, since the guards won't patrol the main throne room at night.

Lockpicking

1. Picking locks is an integral part of Oblivion.
2. Any adventurer will have to be able to pick locks in dungeons if they want good loot.
3. The Security skill works by making mistakes less destructive.
4. This isn't particularly effective though.
5. If you're good at the lockpicking game you won't need any security skill.
6. If you are really bad at it, then look up the Daedric quest for Nocturnal once you're past level 10.
7. Tip Fulfilling this quest will give you the Skeleton Key. This tool is an unbreakable lockpick that increases your security skill.
8. Until then you will have to learn how to beat the minigame.

Minigame Instructions

1. The minigame is pretty straightforward.
2. You will be shown an image of a lock and its five tumblers. #Each of the five tumblers need to be locked in the up position to open the lock.
3. How many are down depends on the difficulty of said lock.
4. You can set the tumblers up in any order.
5. Gently tap the tumbler up and then click when it hits the top.
6. If you succeed you will be able to lock it.
7. If you click at the wrong time your lockpick will break and the other tumblers will fall back down.
8. The number of tumblers that fall will depend upon your Security skill.
9. With a bit of practice you should be able to pick any lock.
10. The key part of it is to keep tapping the tumbler until it rises very slowly. It is very easy to get these slower ones to lock since you'll have a few seconds to click while its in the sweet spot.

Character Building

1. You'll build your character as part of the game's beginning.
2. The game will make suggestions but they aren't great.
3. I'm not going to rewrite the games descriptions since that'd be a waste of time.
4. Go through the choices and pick the ones that sound good.
5. Your subsequent leveling up will be what really shapes the character.

Race

1. The races are also pretty irrelevant in the game.
2. If you don't have a specific class in mind you can just pick Imperial. They are good all-rounder.
3. Breton will work well for a combat mage.
4. Orc or Redguard will work well for a hardcore warrior.
5. Khajiit is probably a good choice for a sneaky character.
6. Everything else is just for specialty characters.

Gender

1. Your gender has minor effects on your stats according to race.
2. In general, women are better mages, while women are better warriors.
3. Just pick the one you want.
4. The differences are negligible after a few levels.

Classes

1. I personally say just build a custom class.
2. The pre-built ones aren't that great.
3. The pre-built classes tend to include a few pointless skills in along with the good ones.
4. Just choose custom.
5. Pick a name for it.
6. Chose whether it values combat, magicka, or stealth.
7. Pick your ten major skills out of the available 21.
8. It seems foolish to list them all here.
9. I personally suggest doing a combat warrior build.
10. Pick Blade or Blunt, Block, the various schools of magic, and anything else that sounds good.
11. Do not pick Security or Mercantile.
12. These are all too hard to raise.
13. Do not pick Acrobatics or Athletics.
14. These will leave you with a poorly leveled character.

Birthsigns

1. The Birthsigns are also pretty pointless.
2. You can generally just pick a general one like The Lady or The Warrior for a good boost.
3. Do not pick The Atronach unless you are a skilled, hardcore mage.
