Mastering the Art of Survival in Oblivion Remastered

The top skills in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered are predominantly taken from the original Oblivion. What was effective back in 2006 remains relevant today. However, it’s essential to be aware of the peculiarities before making your selections.

Unlike other RPGs, leveling up in Oblivion occurs not through a conventional skill tree and points, but rather by actively using your skills. Your chosen class during the tutorial (after selecting your race and birthsign) influences how swiftly your skills level up.

Below, we’ll provide a quick overview of how skills function in Oblivion Remastered, followed by a list of the best skills in Oblivion Remastered.

Understanding Skills in Oblivion Remastered

In summary, skills in Oblivion Remastered increase through usage.

For instance, the Acrobatics skill improves your jumping ability and reduces fall damage. To enhance it, you just need to perform actions associated with the skill, like jumping. Similarly, to level up Armorer, you can repair weapons and armor, while casting offensive spells increases your Destruction skill, and taking damage while wearing Heavy Armor boosts that skill.

Skills are categorized as major or minor. The game features 21 skills, with players able to choose up to seven major skills. The remaining 14 skills automatically become minor ones. Major skills receive a +20 initial level bonus and progress at a faster rate than their minor counterparts.

After completing the tutorial, you can select your character class from 21 choices, each with predefined major skills and favored attributes. Classes fall under specializations (Magic, Combat, or Stealth), granting bonuses for relevant skills. Alternatively, you might opt for a custom class, designing it to your liking.
