So never played a ES game and I'm wanting to get into skyrim so I'm playing oblivion and I like it so far. I just gave
and since I'm just a little bit into the game I'm wondering if you guys can give me some tips and pointers to be successful in this game cause I seriously know nothing about it. I will say I'm more of a combat guy and no magic if that helps. Thanks!

-Cheers

You might get more detailed response by asking a Mod to move this to the Spoiler forum. I can only assume that you don't want to risk the chance of being spoiled yourself, thus thats why you are her in the first place. I don't blame you. Having said that, the best advice that I could give to any player, just starting out and asking a general tip question, is taking no advice at all. The thing I miss the most is the high I got from my first playthrough. Like any addict, I have been chasing that high ever since. At that time, I had no idea what a wiki or forums were. I'm glad I didn't. There is no better gaming experience that finding things out on my own. (for me)

This page, http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:First_Time_Players, will get you started. It explains things a LOT better than I could. It contains links to the rest of the sight, including the explanation of the leveling system.

Hope this helps. There are numerous people her with a wealth of knowledge. Come back, if you have any questions.

The best advise I can give(and still live with myself) is that you should just play the game and take it as it comes. The best way to learn The Elder Scrolls is to play it.
Also, the "First Time Players" page mentioned by Senior Cinco is very good, though I recomend you too not delve to much into that UESP if you want to avoid spoilers.

Yes. That is a very important point. I failed to mention.

Combat eh?

All I know is that if your full combat, you might be delving into Blunt + Blade. I wouldn't reccomend this, because then you'd have to level both. Stick to blade or blunt, depending on preference and perhaps get block. That way you block, then swing with your weapon 2 times whilst your enemy recoils.

For casters and archers: Get in close, do a charge power attack (Hold left mouse button while running if on PC), and keep smacking them till their dead.

At higher levels, you'll want to enchant your armour and weapons (You'll probably be using Heavy Armour if your pure combat).

Strength is your ally, and so is Endurance. Strength will raise your meele damage, whilst Endurance will raise your health. I believe Willpower also helps your regeneration of Fatigue, but someone will need to confirm it.

Also have fun! If you don't want to roleplay, then that is a shame, but still it is a great game just to do quests and dungeon dive and you will enjoy it. If you do want to roleplay, then take your time. You paid for this game, get the most out of it. Try not to fast travel, explore the beautiful scenery. It really is worth it!
