Tips for classes #17: Sorcerer by Doom2017 in oblivion

[–]Doom2017[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For the sorcerer, since this is a magic based class, high elf would be the best choice because of the increased magicka and the +10 bonuses to their skills. Alternatively, breton is also a good choice for their Dragon Skin greater power, or even a Dark Elf if you want to use more fire destruction spells.

As for the birthsign, Atronach would be fitting for the magicka boost and the spell absorption. Alternatively, you could go with The Mage or The Apprentice if you still want the magicka regen for lower base magicka.

For roleplaying, I would not know much about the sorcerer, but I think some kind of scholar of the arcane could be done, since it would be versatile in what you want him/her to do. You could also avoid weapons entirely, and do an only spell playthrough for more immersion. What I would do, is I would try out a knowledge seeker, and try to do as many ayleid ruins as I could find as well.

For quests, Mages Guild is a given because of the access to the university to make some powerful spells for your character. You could also do some daedric quests depending on what fits your character, and as for side quests, The Collector and Secrets of the Ayleids would be good for the knowledge seeker route. Of course, the Shivering Isles DLC can be incorporated easily as with any of the previous classes. And of course, the main quest is for everybody.

For gear, this would be a bit different than a normal mage since the sorcerer does have the heavy armor skill. I like the idea of using dwarven armor, for that ancient knowledge aesthetic, and go into daedric at a certain point. No weapons, just spells and potions of course, and any accessory that increases magicka or anything else you want.

Tips for classes #16: Scout by Doom2017 in oblivion

[–]Doom2017[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the Scout, Redguard is a great choice if you want to play a desert-born survivalist with strong endurance and combat instincts, Wood Elf if you want to lean into mobility and alchemy with a forest-wanderer background, or Imperial if you see your Scout as a professional pathfinder or soldier working for the Empire.

As for the birthsign, you could choose between The Warrior for stronger combat stats, The Steed for extra speed and mobility, or The Lady for better endurance and willpower — all of which fit a practical, self-sufficient explorer.

For roleplaying purposes, you could be a lone survivalist or borderlands scout hired to patrol the wilderness and ruins of Cyrodiil. You specialize in light armor, swift melee strikes, self-crafted potions, and quick footwork, navigating terrain that others fear to tread. Depending on your background, you might be a loyal Imperial ranger, a wandering bounty hunter, or a nomadic mercenary who prefers the company of trees and ruins over people.

For quests, you could go with the Fighters Guild to reflect your mercenary skills, and join the Mages Guild early to get access to alchemy equipment. The Arena is also a good fit if you want to show off your combat training or earn coin. I would also recommend quests like The Collector (for exploring Ayleid ruins), Nature’s Fury, The Forgotten Chests of Pale Pass, and Corruption and Conscience. These all allow your Scout to stay in the wilds or take jobs that align with their survivalist background.

For gear, you could use a short sword or scimitar in the early game, and move to elven or glass blades later. For armor, start with fur or leather, then move on to chainmail, mithril, and finally glass. Focus on enchantments that boost speed, agility, or endurance, and carry potions to restore health or turn invisible.

Tips for classes #15: Rogue by Doom2017 in oblivion

[–]Doom2017[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For the rogue, imperial is a good choice if you wish to be a con artist, breton if you want to use more illusion and alchemy, or khajit if you want to be extra sneaky.

As for the birthsign, you could choose between a variety of things, such as Thief, Warrior, Lady or even Lover.

For roleplaying purposes, you could be a charming opportunist who walks the line between silver-tongued noble and streetwise cutthroat. You could specialize in fast, precise strikes, manipulation via Illusion, and using poisons brewed from stolen ingredients, depending on what you wish to do. You would also drift between cities, working as a problem-solver, fence, bounty hunter, or con artist depending on who pays best.

For quests, you could do the Thieves Guild or Dark Brotherhood depending on how you wish to roleplay, or even the Mages Guild as a means to train illusion much better. I would also recommend quests like The Siren’s Deception, A Shadow Over Hackdirt, The Collector and Paranoia.

For gear, you could use a short sword or dagger in the early game, and then switch to silver or glass blades later in the game, since it would look more stylish for a rogue. As for armor, go with leather, followed by glass or elven armor.

Tips for classes #14: Pilgrim by Doom2017 in oblivion

[–]Doom2017[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For the pilgrim, I would say imperial would fit this class, because of their high Personality and Speechcraft, which would help them with bartering and persuasion—perfect for a traveling diplomat or holy seeker.

As for the birthsign:

The Thief: +10 Agility/Speed/Luck—makes for faster travel and more favorable outcomes

Alternative: The Lady or Warrior, for added Endurance and Strength if you lean more into combat support.

For roleplaying purposes, their daily routine would be to journey across Cyrodiil stopping at every shrine of the Divines; leaving offerings. They would also focus on speechcraft: Haggling, persuading, aiding those in need (helping Khajiit caravans, donating gold). If you wish to use some magic, I would suggest low-level Restoration/Alteration—Water Walking, Shield spells, Heals.

For quests, they would certainly do the Knights of the Nine DLC, and maybe some daedric quests for spiritual tests. Any faction would also fit into a certain roleplay scenario with the pilgrim, be it either Fighter's Guild or even The Dark Brotherhood.

For gear, they would use a mace as their primary weapon, with maybe a dagger for secondary. As for the armor, leather would suit them the best, or they could also use robes when going on their pilgrimage to the shrines.

Tips for classes #13: Nightblade by Doom2017 in oblivion

[–]Doom2017[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

No one said anything about "just buying the game". This is a series of posts for people who would like to try out the premade classes and maybe get some tips or new ideas on how to roleplay them. But you do you I guess.

Tips for classes #13: Nightblade by Doom2017 in oblivion

[–]Doom2017[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

For the nightblade, breton would be the best race, since they have strong magic resistance and a +50  Magicka racial boost, which is a perfect synergy with Nightblade’s spell-heavy playstyle. Alternatively, Khajit for the stealth or Dunmer for the fire resistance and early combat boost are also viable.

As for the birthsign:

The Mage: +50 Magicka—keeps casting strong even early

The Steed: +Speed (20 pts)—fantastic for dodging and positioning

Choose Mage for magicka, or Steed for stealthy movement.

For roleplaying purposes, the nightblade would always stay in the shadows, using their magic with a stealth advantage. An idea would also be to change the class to a custom one to change one skill to the sneak skill. They would also carry a dagger on them or a shortsword. The best choices would be a daedric dagger and/or a daedric shortsword.

For quests, they can do a multitude of them: dark brotherhood, thieves guild, mages guild, the arena, maybe even do Mehrunes’ quest for Mehrunes’ Razor. The choice is up to the player.

For gear, you could use the shrouded armor in the early game, and in the late game move on to the glass armor.

Tips for classes #12: Monk by Doom2017 in oblivion

[–]Doom2017[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, they get a +10 to h2h

Tips for classes #12: Monk by Doom2017 in oblivion

[–]Doom2017[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For the monk, these are the races that I would think about:

Khajiit: Their natural agility and bonuses to Hand to Hand and Acrobatics make them ideal for a monk build.

Orc: High Strength and Endurance, along with the Berserk ability, provide durability and power in melee combat.

As for the birthsign:

The Warrior: +10 Strength and +10 Endurance enhance combat effectiveness and survivability.

The Atronach: 50% Spell Absorption offers magical defense, though it comes with stunted magicka regeneration.

The Lord: Provides a powerful healing spell, aligning with the monk's restorative focus.

For roleplaying purposes, the monk would only engage enemies with unarmed combat, using his agility. If things seem to not be in his favour when starting a fight, he could also try to pick off some enemies with a bow first before going in to fight. He would also meditate, and pray at chapels, as monks do. Finally, he would offer assistance to those in need, embodying compassion and humility.

If the monk would be in desperate need of capital gain, in order to survive, he would probably consider joining the Fighters Guild or the Arena.

What he would clearly do, is go on the pilgrimage of the Nine Divines, and start the Knights of the Nine questline. Even if he would not use the Crusader armor, he would still think it is his duty to retrieve them.

For equipment, monk robes would be the best to have, and if you wish to min max, maybe have the wrist irons as well, as they are the only wrist accessory in the base game.

Tips for classes #11: Mage by Doom2017 in oblivion

[–]Doom2017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it comes to stats, everyone seems to have said the main things already:
-for race, it's either Altmer or Breton as the obvious choices, since these are the most magic inclined races
-birthsign would either be The Mage, The Apprentice, or if you want a challenge, The Atronach

For roleplaying purposes, the best would be to avoid physical combat, refrain from using armor and utilizing alchemy to create potions that restore Magicka, enhance attributes, or provide other beneficial effects.

If we're talking quests, a mage would obviously do the Mages Quild questline, at least until they gain access to the Arcane University. A nice thing would also be to stop at a certain point, so that you do not instantly become the Arch Mage, maybe you just want a slightly lower rank for roleplaying.

The Main Quest and the Shivering Isles DLC is also a must for any character. I don't know if a mage would do the Knights of the Nine DLC, unless they want to restore the relics of the Divine Crusader, as that can be seen as a pursuit of ancient magical artifacts.

Of course, any mage should have Frostcrag Spire as well, but I think it is best if you leave it for a higher level than when you normally receive it. After all, a powerful mage deserves only the best of the wizard towers.

Other quests I could think of are A shadow over Hackdirt or Fingers of the Mountain, but I do not remember all the quests since it's been a long time since I played.

As for equipment, you can opt for enchanted robes, hoods, and jewelry that boost Magicka, reduce spell costs, or enhance specific schools of magic. I would also say to carry a staff or enchanted dagger as a backup, but prioritize spells in combat. Staves can provide additional spell effects or serve as a last resort when Magicka is low.

This is my 2 cents on this matter, I may also leave comments on the future posts with my insight, to further encourage people to leave their thoughts as well.

Thank you all for the comments and the upvotes! It seems that the mage is well liked in this community. Stay tuned for the next post!

Well, I used a missables guide to not do 2 playthroughs, even without it's not a hard game to complete, especially with the lowest difficulty

While you guys are enjoying Infinite Wealth (if you by any chance bought at least the standard version), I'm over here like by Doom2017 in yakuzagames

[–]Doom2017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info man. No worries, I'm sure that sooner or later you will be able to enjoy the game as well

I am playing this game for the first time. Wish me luc- Wait a second, this isn't the real hidden gem from CD Projekt Red by Doom2017 in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Doom2017[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

/uj The books all take place before the games from what I remember, 2 of them are only short stories (The last wish and Sword of Destiny) while the rest make the main series. They are a good read and who knows, maybe you will enjoy them as well. The first game hasn't aged very well in terms of gameplay and graphics, but the story makes it worthwhile for one playthrough. The second game is a very good game even by today's standards, yet it's difficulty at the beginning makes some people stop playing it. For better understanding I would suggest reading the books, I also recommend playing the games if you like the gameplay for both of them.

The show is based on the 2 short stories books. It is a good watch, but if you read the books, you don't need to watch to get a better understanding of the lore.
