Does race in Oblivion matter?

Yes, race matters in Oblivion, especially early on, due to starting skill bonuses, attribute differences, and unique racial powers, but all races can eventually become powerful as skills and attributes can be maxed out with play; the choice primarily influences your initial build and playstyle, with some races better suited for magic (High Elf, Breton) or stealth (Khajiit, Wood Elf) while others excel at combat (Nord, Orc, Redguard).

What is the best race to choose in Oblivion?

There's no single "best" race in Oblivion, as it depends on playstyle, but Bretons are top-tier for magic/defense (50% Magic Resist), Orcs for tough melee (Berserk power, high Endurance), and Khajiit/Wood Elves for stealth. Dark Elves (Dunmer) offer great versatility with bonuses in Combat, Magic, and Stealth skills, plus useful Fire Resist. For pure spellcasting power, High Elves (Altmer) have the largest Magicka pool.

What is the best race for a crusader in Oblivion?

Breton would be fine, and really, Bretons are undeniably the best race in the game over the long haul. The attribute penalties and bonuses don't matter in the long term, since it all balances out eventually, so all that really matters is the other racial perks, and 50% magic resistance is by far the best of them.

Is Imperial a good race in Oblivion?

In the C tier, you have the Argonian and Imperial, who offer very useful, but very niche powers. They lack the death-defying resistances and Endurance of races in higher tiers, and their skillsets apply to only a narrow set of activities that won't help you survive in the end-game.

What is the fastest race in Oblivion?

The fastest race for exploring Cyrodiil

For pure speed, the Altmer (High Elves) are the preferred choice among speedrunners. Oblivion has a unique mechanic: taller characters move faster, which remains unchanged in Remastered. Since Altmer are the tallest race, they naturally have the highest base movement speed.

Is there a way to change your class in Oblivion?

Yes, you can change your class in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, primarily during the tutorial exit in the sewers, but also mid-game on PC using console commands, though it's tricky and best done by creating a custom class initially to easily tweak skills. After the sewers, your official class choice locks, but you can build towards any playstyle by leveling skills and getting spells/gear, or use PC commands like showclassmenu to switch, which resets skills but lets you re-level them.

Skip the main story since no matter what you do you have no choice but to be the "hero." Do Daedric quests instead, join the Dark Brotherhood, indiscriminately murder and steal. Not much you can really do to do an actual evil playthrough though because theres no real karma system or choices with any consequences.

Is it better to side with Stormcloaks or Imperials?

Deciding between the Stormcloaks and Imperials in Skyrim depends on your roleplaying goals, as both sides have valid points and significant flaws: Imperials offer stability, a stronger military against the Thalmor, and a unified Tamriel but compromise religious freedom (Talos worship ban); Stormcloaks fight for Nord traditions, freedom, and religious rights but are seen as xenophobic, short-sighted, and risk weakening Skyrim against the Thalmor by prolonging civil war, which the Dominion benefits from.

Is there a max level in Oblivion?

There's no hard-coded max level in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion,, but practically, most players hit a soft cap in the mid-40s to low 50s because you need skill increases in your major skills to level, and eventually, your attributes (like Strength, Intelligence) can't keep up or max out, preventing further meaningful levels unless you exploit glitches like jail time to reset skills. The real theoretical limit is incredibly high (like 65,535), but your character stops meaningfully improving much sooner, generally around level 50.

Does it matter what origin you choose in Oblivion?
