I never beat it either despite playing it for a while. exploring the world was pretty good but the oblivion gates were just so monotonous

You really do have to install OOO or FCOM or some poo poo because the leveling system is loving god awful. Also I recommend only doing the main quest once because it's loving boring. Just do guild quests and Shivering Isles and call it a day.

I modded the hell out of Oblivion a while back and it was alright until I realized that the mods that fix the levelling system did not fix the levelling system and my highly trained assassin of death was incapable of doing battle with a brown bear, and my super warrior of smashing had maxed out his blade and blunt weapons skills and despite that could not put a dent in those ghosts you fight during the NotN quest line. I tried using a couple combat mods but they were loving awful and broke constantly and didn't fix the issue of damage spongey enemies.

Just don't play Oblivion.

the total conversion that turns it into a german WRPG is ok for a few hours, but then you get tired of staring at the ugly chunky clay person models, and the lovely unresponsive combat, and the gross looking plastic-rear end scenery and also realize the lovely collecta-thon nature of the conversion, and deeply regret the few hours you put into both setting up the game and then playing it to that point

so, in short, the uninstall mod

I played with AF Leveling Mod, Darnified UI, the Unofficial Patch, House Map Markers and I think that was it, OP. it's a fun game and worth many hours of your time, do not listen to the haters.

And it made one-eighth the difference.
Isn't Oblivion completely outclassed by either Morrowind or Skyrim depending on what you like more about the series?

having only played oblivion and skyrim I have to say that skyrim seems like just a huge step back in most ways. The leveling system that forced you to put your less used skills as your main skills (to avoid leveling up) in oblivion is probably the only downside in comparison to skyrim. Meanwhile the horrid guild quests and the lack of magic crafting are huge losses from my point of view.

They are all great games, including Oblivion, and all worthy of many hours, which will be fun and rewarding.

Skyrim is my favorite though, and the guild quests are great. I like the way magic works, but i hope ES6 does something between Oblivion and skyrim, with crafting spells but more limited

I completely forgot about the hosed up leveling where it was beneficial to put your least used skills as your major skills. that was actually the worst part, even as bad as the oblivion gates were the leveling being jacked was inexcusable just because at some point someone should have realized how ridiculous that is
