I think the concern is that you have guards fighting with you who become weaker as you level, and in some cases it can make main quest battles very unfavourable.

Close enough. The guards themselves mostly do level (but a couple of named ones do not) but their armour does not improve. So you get a level 30 guard wearing only cheap steel and he quickly dies when facing the high-level nasties like Xivilai. It also means that you can quickly find yourself on the blunt end of a mob of high-level critters - if the guards fall quickly inside a certain castle you can end up, as I did, fighting eight Xivilai at once.


As for this:

I managed to do the whole thing with justmy fists and no armour except what your given and no training in hand to hand. Most of them were 1 hit kills...

I'm sorry, but without more details I don't believe you. Either you are running mods which boost H2H, or you are massively training skills without levelling up. Or both.

LoL i bet you slaughterd many insects when you was a kid

hehehe next time I'm going to make a swords man as with that you can decapitate them, cut them in half at the waist or cut their hands off

It also adds horse back combat and spell fighting too.

Really dissapointed with the arena quest

I managed to do the whole thing with justmy fists and no armour except what your given and no training in hand to hand. Most of them were 1 hit kills...

Instead i decided to try and take on the Imperial City with fists. WTFPwned!

I bet you hve the difficulty slider right over to the left.

This kills most critters, but I really struggle with troll mages and skeletal guardians (i.e. lucien lachances fort guardians), and the combo wipes out 3/4 of my mana...

Any tips?

Skeletons are massively resistant to fire, you need some damage/drain health spells, and also a staff, disintegrate weapon is also good if you can make a high level one as then they will fight you h2h.

Thanks A damage health spell is just like a normal elemental damage spell then?

yeah, except if you use elemental spells some creatures are weak against certain elements and so get hurt more, vampires are weak to fire, but frost spells are good for the oblivion stages.

Also tray the spells that steal your opponents manna/health/skill/ability and give it to you for a short amount of time.

Only mods im running are Natural Environments and QTP3 to make it look pretty. No gameplay mods.

Character was a lvl 18 Redguard under the sign of the warrior. Think strength was maxed out at 100 but i had not used my fists since i got out of the sewers so had not lvled hand to hand. First fight in the arena the guy died in 1 hit from a sword so i took everything off it would allow me to and tried the next with fists and my arena armour and was similarly dissapointed. My acrobatics and athletics are both pretty high so run straight at them jump over their head and deliver a charged punch to the back. Worked for pretty much everyone until the last 6 fights which were more difficult in that i took a bit more of a beating and killed my "mascot" by accident but still not what i was expecting. Have had goblins give me more of a fight! Stil have to become grand champion but waiting to do the quest beforehand as anvil is so far away.

I bet you hve the difficulty slider right over to the left.

Havent touched a difficulty slider so unless it starts "right over to the left" then its at default difficulty.

Still loving this game and well pleased i decided to give it a bit more time then my first try a year ago.

im trying to find some books now or something

I also got put in prison and sleeped, i'm level 2 now.

Also i found a quest, i had to find out where this couple burried there treasure and he was in prison and he'd tell me if i kill his wife.

That was fun, where can i find more good stuff like that? Looking for books is boring. Can i kill that martin guy?

Also where is the tallest place in oblivion? I was climbing some mountin on the edge and i jumped off and my horse died. Is oblivion "caged" in? I cant seem to walk off the end.
