Obviously I could go to the UESP for some of these but I don't want to ruin the experience with spoilers. Also these have no doubt been discussed on this forum but it's late and I don't feel like reading back through all of the threads. Besides I like talking with you good people.

So here is where I am. I decided to return to Oblivion, part of what sent me running the last time was the 65 Oblivion gates I felt I had to close and dang it! I didn't feel like journeying all over Cyrodill closing gates one by one. A quest of that scope rivals returning the Thieves guild in Skyrim to its full glory, something I haven't done completely yet.

I am armed with the Longsword of the Glacier, and armored with Gauntlets of the Pugilist, Ebony armor, Greaves of the Deep Dweller, Storm Stomper Boots and War Mages helmet and carry the Escutcheon of Chorrol. Level 16.

Anyway I decided to heck with it, I would return and push the MQ and close the gates all at once so I grabbed Azura's Star and closed the gate in Bruma , now I am halfway to

from Chorrol for the Blood of the Divine.

After I get there I plan on returning to get my magic armor repaired, dang bears! I can't repair enchanted equipment yet. And return for the showdown.

1) I'm not looking for enemy types or numbers, I just want to make sure when I get inside if I have to back out to get my enchanted gear repaired if it will respawn the enemies I've killed before I get back? I'm thinking not since I plan on returning straight away.

2) I got a strange notice after sleeping in Bruma, I had leveled while taking down the Oblivion Gate and after allocating skills it said and I'm paraphrasing. "You're pushing yourself too hard, slow down and rest. Worry about the little things first and the big things will take care of themselves." WTF? is this a little note from the Devs that I'm underleveled to finish the MQ or just them playing with my mind about ramrodding the MQ too fast? I want to get the MQ over with so that I can take it easy with doing city and wilderness quests without all of those dang Oblivion Gates hanging around like an eyesore.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Question #1 answered. I've gone in and the key is gone so I'm in it to win it. Unfortunately my sword lost its charge fighting faded wraiths and I left my Welkynd Stones behind. Doh! Stupid mistake. Even for that it's magic so I can fight the ghosts and wraiths down here.

It's just the level up message you will be getting from now on. The first 15 or so level ups have a unique message. That particular message is the last, and will be the one for every future level up for you.

In other words there's nothing to worry about.

Thanks Hev, not really worried, I was just curious. Thanks for the reply though. I don't care what anyone says, for a rotten corpse you're a pretty swell guy.

I've freed the first Blade and am marching through. Fortunately spells down here aren't affecting my armor very much anyway so it looks like I'm good.
