I missed this before but reading the manual, say you specialize in combat, if you have both stealth and combat major skills, the combat skills will level faster. :)

I've seen it now in the generation window. Yes. Everything is written in the very window where you specify your specialization. I was not reading it till today by the way. :)

so here's a screenie of my character's major skills (very much combat related) and just a general screenshot of the gameworld. Oblivion has aged very well... it still looks good even years after release. What's better is I can run it at 1680x1050 resolution with everything turned up. :)

I had to resize the screenies down a bit to match the attachment limits. :(

Heh... strange. Why taking acrobatics and athletics for major skills when they're growing so fast anyway? I'd level up 10+ times during the main quest only if I took only them (as two only major skills, abandoning the other five). :>

Yeah i never take acrobatics or athletics as major skills either. You will level too fast, and won't have much other skills that levelled, so your bonusses will be low (typical +1 or +2).

Oh yeah, with those two as primaries (and hopping around a lot) you will get your ass kicked all the time. :P *me hopes Satis will die a lot*

lol, damn, you're all bastards.

Yes, steel armor. I was level 1 on that screenshot. I'm playing with the OOO mod, so running into guys that totally pwn me isn't very hard. In the case of that armor, several people that would pwn me chased me around on the roads until some guards took care of them for me. I then looted their armor. :p

I'm currently level 2 and still getting my ass kicked everywhere. :( Maybe I'll just restart again.

Yeah, I've heard the OOO mod is just stupidly tough for the first 4 levels :?

indeed. I restarted again...I'm now an Imperial female and I switched out the acrobatics and the other one for speechcraft and mercantile. Once again I'm wearing steel armor and this time I also picked up a dwemer longsword. Very nice. :) And, once again, I'm getting my ass handed to me pretty regularly. I'll have some screenies soon.

I'm not joining in on the Satis build stomping, but watch the speechcraft, I've noticed that if you use that a lot, like I do, then as a major it will also level you up far to fast, make sure your combat skills are in line.

Mine weren't, thus I got my ass handed to me a lot :?

As an aside, my observations...

70 disposition seems to be the sweet spot, especially if you want to get vital information out of somebody (IE beggers to tell you about the thieves guild). Often it will take a bribe or to as you can sometimes only get up to about 50-60 on speechcraft alone. :)

Thanks for the warning. I don't plan on doing the speechcraft thing too extensively, so hopefully that won't become a problem. I'm also curious how levelling up 'improperly' affects the OOO mod.

The so called 'efficient levelling' is just a total pain in the arse, it is annoying to keep getting +2/+3's but the micro-management needed to get 3 x +5 is beyond my meagre attention span :?

yea, micromanagement ftl.

My character is now level 4 and still getting pwnt pretty commonly. Since I don't want to keep abandoning all these quests that are too hard for me, I've taken to using the 'little dog' approach. I aggro something, then run away and find something bigger to kill it for me.

For some reason mages REALLY pwn me... I'm not sure why. Hand to hand I can stand up to a lot more now then I used to be able to.
