It was an abomination. It was also the first game that got people to accept that the PC gaming apocalypse was going to happen. Prior to Oblivion there was still hope devs were just flirting with the idea of racing to the bottom or that core games would be spared.

That's what makes its dungeons intereeting. 90% of Morowind's dungeons just has a few corridors and enemies selected randomly from a list based on your level despite what Morrowind babbies claim Oblivion was not the first elder scrolls to aggressively level content to make the game casual friendly.

Levelling isn't cancer because it makes the game harder it's cancer because it makes it easier. A good RPG lets you run into areas way beyond your level ir crush fags far beneath it. Artifically tying monsters and loot is there to aid casuals.

Actually they are decent sized dungeons. They just are so open you can make a straight line to the end in a short amount of time. If you actually explored the full map of an oblivion gate you could actually spend over an hour in some of them. Not exactly large though I get that.
>They didn't even bother making each mini dungeon unique, it's just the same mini-dungeon over and over again
It's actually about 15 I think more if you include alternative shit like a Deadra Quest where you go there. They just aren't different on every gate.

Efficient leveling isnt that difficult, but I'm probably autistic. The trouble is that it shoe-horns endurance and speed skills with leeway in one other attribute at the start of the play-through. The enemy scaling in oblivion is kind of retarded admittedly and requires a certain degree of meta-gaming beyond normal difficulty, which seems counter-intuitive to a role-playing game.

They're not saying it's difficult, they're saying that it scales badly.
It's pretty easy to break the system by never leveling past level 2. Which is easy to do by picking major skills that you will never use like Unarmed, one armour skill and one weapon skill.
The problem also appears on the other end of the spectrum where hitting max level means every enemy is a damage sponge and you better have optimized perfectly or you'll spend a minute longer on each enemy.

Oblivion has a comfy factor to it that Morrowind and Skyrim are somewhat lacking in. This isn't to say that Oblivion is the better game, it's more like a comfortable pair of tragically tacky pants. Morrowind is the most interesting title in the series just on setting alone while Skyrim is one of the best jokes in recent memory due to Todd the Liar.

I've actually been playing Oblivion lately, for the first time. Vanilla, as usual for a first run. I'm playing a Redguard custom warrior class. Unfortunately, work and personal shit has sucked up my time lately, so I haven't touched it (or any vidya) in a few weeks. But I think I'm going to get back into it this week, or next week at the latest.
I'm not too far in, only level 6. I'll say this, though: the level scaling really does fuck up the game. Luckily I can switch between weapon and armor skills in order to time my level-ups correctly. But I don't know how you're supposed to play this game as a mage and not get your ass handed to you constantly due to poorly-timed leveling.
Also, I've been to Chorrol, Skingrad, and now Anvil. I'm going to explore Bruma pretty soon. I've been mostly staying on the roads and only sticking to dungeons that I come across while traveling; no real cross-country trekking.

Call me a faggot (and you will) but i think Oblivion's great because it did the whole "Casual but not too casual" thing well atleast in comparison to what other games there are including Skyrim and even Morrowind.
Even the combat is somehow actually sort of fun, many say Skyrim does it better but i disagree though most problems in Skyrim could be fixed had they just done the magic system like it was in Oblivion complete with a spell-crafting.
Sure it has it's flaws, potatoes, voice-acting, lore-rape etc but fuck it it's the BEST entry in an otherwise mediocre game-series with potential for great shit that'l never happen.

Nothing really, they're all enjoyable in their own ways. Morrowind is the best game to abuse Alchemy in, Oblivion is one of the last true CRPGs with a heavy emphasis on character creation, and Skyrim is more intuitive and has a nice catharsis to it. If anything my one gripe is that many of Skyrim's RPG mechanics feel limited and stifled in favor of that aforementioned intuitiveness. Well, that and bullshit level scaling.
dc6f0d No.14932429

Morrowind has the exact same combat gameplay as Oblivion, but less Casual. There's no real difference between a percentage chance to hit and a damage multiplier.
The reduced scaling also makes Morrowind's endgame much less tedious, which means you spend more time in towns and on the road than in linear copy pasted dungeons that you backtrack through after you beat them.
>>14931696
I always see people mention alchemy but never Bound Weapons, which are almost mandatory in Morrowind. They make your character summon a magic weapon that boosts weapon skill by 10 and does Daedric level damage. And you can cast that spell for less than 10 mana, making it a great beginner spell to train Conjuration too.

Go back to reddit, anyone who actually played Morrowind knows the missing isn't that bad if you use a weapon you chose as a major skill.
And yes, the gameplay is still the same. There's no difference between these two scenarios.

A level 1 Redguard Crusader (45 Long Blade, 50 Agility) with 100% stamina using a sword to attack a character with low (30) agility, no shield, and 100% stamina will only have a 61% chance to hit.
Sixty-one percent! That is abysmal for a combat-focused character. And it gets even lower if your target has average or better Agility or a shield, or if you play as a race that doesn't get a +15 bonus to your Major weapon skill.
>There's no difference between these two scenarios.
>50% chance to do 100 damage
>100% chance to do 50 damage
There's a huge difference. That percentage is not how many of your attacks will hit, it's what chance each attack has of hitting.
Take an enemy with 200 Health. If you do a guaranteed 50 damage per swing, it'll take four swings to kill them. But with 50% chance to do 100 damage, it could take two swings (a 25% chance), or it could take many more.
Four swings would have a 68% chance of killing (compared to 100% by the other method).
Eight swings would have a reasonably-reliable 96% chance of killing.
No matter how many times you swing, you're never gonna turn a series of 50% chances into 100%.

Oblivion is one of those games where you have to play it on a small ass monitor. Because at high res & high FOV all the games visual problems become impossible to ignore.
