it's pretty fun to just run around and sow havoc, especially if you create your own spells.įor your first character, just focus on three attributes to max. Willpower: alteration, destruction, restoration.īut once your character is 100 points in all attributes and all skills. Intelligence: alchemy, conjuration, mysticism. Personality: mercantile, speechcraft, illusion. Speed: athletics, acrobatics, light armor. so you should really think about ALWAYS adding one point to it. The only attribute that doesn't have three skills tied to it is luck. will give you the chance to add +5 to agility the next time you level up. Raising these skills by 10 (not 10 each, 10 in total. Let's take agility, which coverns: Marksman, Security, and Sneak. Raise your major skills by 10 points in total (like the person above said) will give you a level.īefore you go sleep, however, you can still raise your skills. but each raise can give you as much as 5 points each to their respective attribute. When you level up, you'll get to raise the values of three attributes (strength, agility etc). which can easily take away from the enjoyment of the game. and if you want a maximized character you have to start planning *real* early on. Secondly, while you could in theory end up with an unplayable character by levelling 'wrong', you'd have to really work at it. For trainers, make a Drain Marksman spell 100pts-1sec on self and cast right before activating the trainer. a minus point because it gets really complicated real quickly. Firstly, while the world does level up with you, you do gain in relative power a little, and the world stops levelling up at 20th, while you can level to 40-50th. and this is the major minus-point for the game (it was in morrowind as well). If you level up, you can't apply the level up until you go to sleep in a bed.

And you can also only choose 3 attributes to increase each level, so if you want to maximize your attributes you need to carefully plan what skills to increase with each level. Leveling skills past that point does not roll over the attribute bonus to the next level. By leveling the skills associated with a specific attribute you gain bonus points to that attribute (maximum 5 for a combined skill increase of 10). In addition every attribute besides luck has three skills associated with it. You can continue to do this even if you can already level up so you may be able to level up multiple times by sleep over and over. An example of what I mean by raising your major skills by a combined amount of 10 would be: I haven't played Skyrim so I don't know if it is different but in Oblivion, you level up by raising you major skills by a combined amount of 10 and then sleeping.
