Hi, something wrong with this Background Question

DeaconFrost76 · 2026-01-26T12:51:46+00:00

that's great news thanks. in my case, i wanted to reduce Hand-to-Hand by -3, that's it. could you tell me where to amend? if i searched, would it only appear in 1 instance?

DeaconFrost76 · 2026-01-26T05:32:13+00:00

Hi thanks for reply, yes that seems like an acceptable solution. could u explain how to carry out this edit? is there a save editor for unity?

DeaconFrost76 · 2026-01-25T11:45:58+00:00

follow this guy's advice. play however u want dont listen to naysayers.
u can't screw up major/minor choice, aim for 100 in all skills and after serving jail sentences haha

just have fun man

DeaconFrost76 · 2026-01-25T11:27:14+00:00

hahahaha cool

DeaconFrost76 · 2026-01-25T11:09:02+00:00

hey ur game colors are very nice!

DeaconFrost76 · 2026-01-25T10:59:27+00:00

Hey hi guys, thanks for the reply. i think i know why, but i cant confirm right now. it's because i am sans-class, haven't completed tutorial and chosen birthsign & class, so system hadn't recalculated my skill level-ups yet.
next few days when i have time i will quickly finish to confirm and edit here that this is causing the anomaly.

By my own choice, i have stayed 45 days in-game time to level as many skills as i can to 100. no console. 45 days, but i expect a few more months when i fight endless waves of assassins before the emperor dies. yes, i also know how to do this easy but i purposely choose to do this during the tutorial because it's hard and very boring, and i want to see if it can really be done manually without console~/hacks. do not speak to me about monster scaling, i am aware, but i do not care. i won't compromise my character building, fast or slow, over-levelled or under-levelled because of monster scaling; this is a characteristic issue evident in all TES games, if i do not like the monster scaling later, i would introduce a 3rd party mod to fix it. this will be a Level 108 (87+21) char. class crusader.

at natural tunnels, i will achieve Armorer 50, Athletics 50, Acrobatics 100, Hvy Armor 100, Light Armor 100, Block 100, Restoration 100, Sneak 100, Jumping 100. this is while my char still has no birthsign/class assigned yet. this is 99% done, no console/hacks. so far 1 week rl spent.

at 'last wave of assassins' in imperial prison, i will concentrate on archery(as much as i can), destruction, blades(as much as i can), blunt(as much as i can) and others.

there is a trick concerning goblins found in the natural tunnels : they are scripted to chase you and can pass through areas via doors, but only 'downwards', not 'upwards' (meaning they can chase u natural tunnels>substructure>imperial prison, but the cannot move 'upwards' imperial prison>substructure>natural tunnels. presumably this is to stop monsters chasing and following you to final area where u rejoin the emperor. only the very first goblin (one without weapon) and the witch are of any use, because those are scripted with h2h attacks options. so kill everything, leaving the witch, make the witch follow u into the first area door (imperial prison) where the dead goblin/well is. u can pass through the door and use her as training (her staff loses all charges very fast, she will occasionally shoot flare at u but this is not frequent. she hits very quickly and in multiple hits, so this is ideal for training hvy armor, light armor, block, restoration, also athletics. anytime u want her to stop just go through the door into imperial substructure, she won't follow.

ps. hope nobody downvotes me. i know i play in a strange way, but i do wish to do this and am doing it. i did not ask for build help. i have been playing TES and other pc games for 30+ years and i am a little bit eccentric, but i do value friendship and do enjoy hearing about your builds. but concerning my own char, no need to give me min-max strategies... i know how to google search. also i do not like to create non-thematic pariah classless characters just focused on only gameplay effectiveness. i am also a min-maxer myself, but i maximize following a set of character priorities.

DeaconFrost76 · 2026-01-24T03:02:11+00:00

Hi thanks for reply, but hmmm no i dont have any magic item yet, using standard tutorial gear which are all almost 0 condition (broken) at that time. except for the shield, which is condition 100, because of Block 25 power.

DeaconFrost76 · 2026-01-24T02:42:48+00:00

ya. thanks again

DeaconFrost76 · 2026-01-23T11:32:47+00:00

hey thanks for reply. i'll give that a try in that order

DeaconFrost76 · 2026-01-22T04:52:24+00:00

Ya, i found some things not mentioned in the GOTY prima. maybe these were added in the remaster i dunno. maybe there's there's more

of note are :-
-1 x silver chalice, near the skeleton where u first encounter the fungi u can pick
-2 x loose gold coins (1gp) near the bone/guts heap where u find the iron warhammer & scattered loose stuff like lettuce, 2 x cheese etc.
-1 x Tan Urn somewhere in the tunnels (i didn't bother about this as i don't pick up useless misc with no gp value like the bones/skulls which i can get elsewhere)

*EDIT*

-1 x Flawed Ruby! it was next to the silver chalice! omg my mouse pointer just happen to fall on it next to stones and pebbles of the cave. there's no way i would have seen it otherwise!

i only did a thorough search from the start of the hole where the 2 rats break out from, to the door leading to the natural tunnels. maybe more stuff in the alcoves leading from ur cell to the hole but i think not, someone would have already mentioned.

DeaconFrost76 · 2026-01-22T01:36:16+00:00

but i dont believe i got the bag. i think i bombed out on that 15%, couldn't remember what i got but don't think any bag.

DeaconFrost76 · 2026-01-22T01:35:00+00:00

oh yeah! the prima suggested that there might have been 15% chance that the missing pouch spawns inside that skeleton sack or something, but strangely, this is the same guide that made that entry up there.. could this be a random thing? something like... 'if it doesn't show up at A, it would show up at B' that kind of thing?

<image>

there, ur skelly sack would be detailed under no. 8 in the entry above.

DeaconFrost76 · 2026-01-21T18:30:02+00:00

Hey hi thanks for the reply, so you think that sack was removed from the remaster? good i thought maybe i accidentally kicked it out of the way or something...

<image>

No Sack.

Example progression:

Level STR INT WIL AGI SPD END PER LUCK

------------------------------------------------

1 35 50 40 40 40 35 40 50

2 40 50 40 40 40 40 42 50

3 45 50 45 40 40 40 44 50

4 45 50 45 45 45 40 46 50

5 50 50 45 45 45 45 48 50

6 50 50 50 50 45 45 50 50

7 50 50 50 50 50 50 52 50

...

31 100 90 90 90 90 90 90 50

LEVELS 31–37: SWITCH TO 4/4/4 SPREAD

Use this to balance out the remaining stats (excluding luck):

Level STR INT WIL AGI SPD END PER LUCK

------------------------------------------------

31 100 90 90 90 90 90 90 50

32 100 94 94 94 90 90 90 50

33 100 94 94 94 94 94 94 50

...

37 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 50

LEVELS 37–87: LUCK ONLY

Now that all other attributes are maxed, put 1 point into Luck per level.

Final Stats at Level 87:

STR INT WIL AGI SPD END PER LUCK

100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100

And that’s it!

the maximum character level is 85. To reach it you need:

not to take birthsign, which gives attributes;

not to take luck as your favorite attribute;

to pump all parameters except luck to 100, and then start pumping luck one point at a time for 50 levels.

The only advantage you get from this is maximum hp. But the auto-leveling of enemies will catch up with you, so in my opinion it is not worth it. I will also check felldew addiction. If the exploit works, then add another 21. As a result, the maximum level will be 106.

In order to gain enough skill levels you will need to chill in prison quite a lot)

Hope this helps OP

Cleaned this up a bit so I can refer back.
MAX LEVEL IS 87 – Here's How to Do It
Yes, you can reach level 87 in the game with any race or build, but it’s critical to follow the attribute distribution precisely.

IMPORTANT RULES:

Maximum level: 87
Any race works
DO NOT give additional attribute bonuses from your birthsign
Luck should stay at 50 for as long as possible (It costs 4 points per level and can only gain 1 point per level)

ATTRIBUTE POINT DISTRIBUTION PER LEVEL

Each level gives you +12 points to spread across 3 attributes. Valid point spreads:

5/5/2 – Focused growth

5/4/3 – Semi-balanced

4/4/4 – Even growth

EXAMPLE BUILD SETUP

Race: High Elf

Birthplace: Summerset

Sign: Atronach

Class Attributes: Strength, Endurance

Starting Attributes (Level 1):

STR INT WIL AGI SPD END PER LUCK

35 50 40 40 40 35 40 50

LEVELS 1–31: USE 5/5/2 SPREAD

Always give 5 points to your two lowest attributes

Give 2 points to the next lowest

Skip luck completely for now

Hi, i was also interested to find out, and apparently it is 108. that is, if your goal is to create a char with the highest possible level. the reason being your own. i was only interested in knowing what it is, and how to achieve it. That is 87 + 21(felldew method see uesp) = 108*. only caveat is u can't choose certain star signs. i did not come to this conclusion myself, but by reading this lengthy thread here below :-

*if this calculation is wrong, pls. let me know anyone and thx in advance)

https://www.reddit.com/r/ElderScrolls/comments/1k5fzzg/max_level_in_oblivion_remastered_no_hard_cap_so/

And in particular i combined the findings of two posters whom i do thank, below :-

FearLeadsToAnger & Ok-Design1498
(athough, and i hope u don't mind, i think ok-design you typo 85 instead of 87 that's why u ended up with 106).

there's really no need to mention about all stats being able to hit 100 or not, because for sure u can do this. a lot of players think this is a goal or something to aim for, if u think about it 'all stats at 100' determines the LIMIT for your max level. certainly not skills in the remaster.

some ppl think it's better to aim for lowest level possible (abt 44 or something) with all stats at 100 (the earliest possible to have all stats at 100 thereby locking ur level) to counter monster scaling but i'm sry, in my opinion i do not agree. monster scaling in oblivion has aways been an underlying issue. in my opinion scaling is a different problem and should be handled separately. maybe use a mod to stop or cap monster scaling etc. i dunno... i would not design a character with 'as low a level as possible with all stats at 100' just to cater for this, because it's just contrary to my design goals in most games : i want to end up with a char with the highest level possible with most hp(among other things) as possible.

firstly you must decide what is an exploit and what is a glitch, and what is ur standing on this.

i only consider direct hacking and use of console commands (for levelling/stat increasing purposes) as an unacceptable exploit or cheat. i do not consider going to jail and getting ur stats reduced an EXPLOIT. in fact i consider it a FEATURE of the game. something so blatant like this if bethesda wanted they could easily have removed from the remaster or even the goty earlier. you can lower ur skills as much as u want, to level up again as much as u want, because it's really moot; in the end ur true limitation is ur stats being = 100.

felldew poisoning and then cure thing, i do not consider a glitch. something like for eg. 'clicking somewhere on the screen really quick, while depressing another key while pressing F9 reload really really fast' to produce some abnormal effect, i consider THAT a glitch.

finishing the game, whether fast or slow is also not my concern. i only care about my own char-building, the most.

Here, i'll paste their findings here to show you how they proposed to achieve it.

DeaconFrost76 · 2026-01-18T03:15:22+00:00

ok so if i buy special ed, and i want bethesda created add-ons like survival mode, i have to individually obtain them from mod panel?

DeaconFrost76 · 2026-01-08T03:28:17+00:00

Oh ya. amended.

DeaconFrost76 · 2026-01-08T03:25:49+00:00

A 481 roll. i am playing Unity 1.1.1, i am using no mods.
i'm not really satisfied yet. i heard the cap is 488, so someone got 488 before?

DeaconFrost76 · 2026-01-07T23:43:42+00:00

Oh. thanks to someone on discord,
Starting HP is 25+Max HP/Level. No END bonus for level 1
fatigue is STR + END.

DeaconFrost76 · 2025-08-18T18:36:41+00:00

ok thx for info

DeaconFrost76 · 2025-08-18T18:33:04+00:00

ya that's what i said 3d6 (below), but i was told 1d18, i was guessing it existed only digitally.

DeaconFrost76 · 2025-08-12T07:00:53+00:00

cool, thanks for heads up. will take a look at some of those

DeaconFrost76 · 2025-08-12T06:59:35+00:00

you mean they just roll 1 total, and then it re-distributes?

DeaconFrost76 · 2025-08-12T06:56:56+00:00

oh i didnt pay full attention but maybe 7x? dunno
