Giving Oblivion some love baby!

Post » Sun Sep 23, 2012 6:57 pm

Ah yes, there is nothing like a conversation with former Oblivion haters who after the evil of Skyrim have "seen the light" and now hail Oblivion as a masterpiece, curiously there where plenty of those who started TES with Morrowind...now curously abscent.
A couple of friends of mine, who thankfuly cannot string togheter a more evolved sentence in english than "you look so hot mama" and "me love you long time" (otherwise you would have their ranting right here for your viewing pleasure) have just drilled my ear on how the attributes of Oblivion where great, its skills system and even it magic system!
Its has gotten me curious; I happened to like Oblivion quite a bit at release, maybe not as much as Morrowind but I loved the battle system for example, but some of its haters grew to like, and dare I say it, even love it (properly patched and moded of course) but I would love to hear some comments from former Oblivion haters and how they stand on their view after these years

I don't think the leveling system, magic system and skill system in game is great. Especially magic system.

We have to buy magic, they are expansive, and some magic we want are at other town far far away, so when we level up, our magic is not on par with the enemy we face. There is no attribute to increase magic effect. So at level 1 our magic that time can kill most enemy, but when reach level 5, it is like a tickle or ant bite to the enemy.

Example, let say Shock Spell give 10 damage to 20 health enemy at level 1, at level 5 it give the same damage but enemy have 100 health. We have to find upgraded spells in towns. But whe are facing a lot of enemies along the way. And when we buy the spell we cannot cast it because not reach skill level yet or not enough magicka. That is bad.

Other thing is cost and effect is ridicoulus, heal 25 health point with 60 magicka, ridicoulus!
