I've been playing it with the slider @ about 75-80%. I can't quite make it on full Diff. What setting do you guys use?

I one-shot kill everything on 50%

What level are you at?

I've recently got the game, and wanted to take it easy so the slider is on the minimum. I still need like 3 hits/magic shots to kill, but I'm only on level four.

I completed the Main Quest on level 3 - it was a hassle killing Mankar Camoran still.

Probably I chose my skills in a way not corresponding to the way I play the game? Heck on the Bethesda forums people are like on level 30 etc... at the rate I'm at I might be reaching level 30 within a (human!) year if I keep playing this character!

I never touched the bar diff. bar during the whole game...

If you want a challenge, try downloading Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul, it addresses a lot of problems with the NPC levels and the the weapon systems, making the overall game experience a lot more challenging (not recommended for low lvl characters btw)

Get it here:

Here's my lvl 48 Knight/Paladin, and yes, it took me 200+ hours of game play in over one year to reach this level:



And this is me on my paladin's horse:

I think I left mine where it is. I'm level 21 aleady (3 days), but I chose Scout. I got training in Armorer alot, and Block and Light Armor are very easy to level up, all you have to do is punch a gaurd, resist arrest, and let them hack and slash you... Alchemy is easy too. I loot dungeons, sell them all for gold, and then I buy everything alchemy people have and I make potions, then sell them. Blade was easy leveling up cause I did the "Whom Gods Annoy" quest, the one with the staff of the everscamp, and I just slashed scamps to bits. Athletics and Acrobatics is easy to level up with as well. Outside of my main skills I use Heavy Armor (Extrucion of Chorrol FTW), Destruction and Healing. Destruction and Healing go slow.. I'm BARELY an apprentice in both, and I have this master leel Destruction spell that takes like 800 magicka to cast at my current level which is far too much...

I also exploit the game alot. I got attributes from the Ring of the Vipereye permanatly added to my character via quest item/jail glitch. I have Bound Boots which are ALWAYS there (I found a runestone that gave me boots, and repaired them, dropped, waited 2 hours, and they're still there, so I picked it up)...

My loadout is as follows:
Helm of the Deep Delver (poison and disease resitances with this along with redguard resistances kicks ass, light helps too)
Daedric Winter (custom enchantment vis sigil stone. Daedric Shortsword with 25 points of frost)
Kavatch Curass (the enchanted one with added Strength and Endurance)
Greaves of the Spelltaker (something like 17% spell absorption)
some amulet that gives me 6 speed
Weatherward Circlet (25% resistance to frost and fire I believe)
Hands of the Atronach (ebony gauntlets with 20% resistance to fire, frost, shock)
some ring that gives me 20 speed and water walking
Bound Boots (repair glitch, enchanted for 12+ blade)

I chose redguard. I just kick ass...

also birthsign The Warrior

Damn, I've got 7 hours in and I'm a lvl 3. I'm about half way through the main quest, and I'm working on some side quests and messing around. I picked warrior though, pretty much trying to Tank myself out. I'm debating starting with a more magical based character. Any suggestions?

The best class to choose gotta be scout though... for leveling up... just remember all the exploits

The crown of landi with that umbacano dude
the staff of the everscamp
attacking the guards, resist arrest, have them own you and raise armor/block
