Master Tamriel: 6 Simple Steps to Oblivion Remastered Powerhouse Status2025

Welcome, hero of Cyrodiil. Whether you’ve just emerged from the Imperial Prison with stars in your eyes or you’re a returning veteran enchanted by a remastered Tamriel (thank you, modding gods), it’s time to evolve beyond mere survival. This isn’t just about questing anymore—it’s about domination. Power. Legacy.

This guide will transform you into a legend of Oblivion Remastered in six carefully crafted steps. We’re talking full-blown powerhouse status: feared by Daedra, revered by nobles, and unstoppable in any realm—mortal or otherwise.

MASTER

Step 1: Remaster the Game – Build the Perfect Mod List

Before you unsheath a single blade or cast your first fireball, Oblivion needs a facelift. The modding community has turned this 2006 classic into a modern masterpiece, and you owe it to yourself to experience it right.

Essential Mods:

• Oblivion Reloaded Lite / OBGE – Overhauls lighting, weather, water, shadows, and more.
• Better Cities / Unique Landscapes – Transforms towns and the wilds into immersive wonders.
• Unofficial Oblivion Patch – Fixes hundreds of bugs Bethesda left behind.
• Oscuro’s Oblivion Overhaul (OOO) / Maskar’s Overhaul – Rebalance the game with smarter AI, scalable loot, and harder enemies.
• Oblivion Character Overhaul v2 – Breathes new life into NPCs.

Once you’re running with a stable, beautified setup (Nexus Mod Manager or Mod Organizer 2 is your friend), now you’re playing Oblivion Remastered.

Step 2: Birthright Matters – Optimize Your Race, Class, and Birthsign

In vanilla Oblivion, you could brute force your way through bad decisions. Not anymore.

Ideal Race & Sign Combos:

• Breton + The Mage: Magic resistance + boosted magicka = Battlemage beast.
• Redguard + The Warrior: Melee monsters with insane fatigue regeneration.
• High Elf + The Atronach: Dangerous, but with absorption and spell spam, you become a magical tank.

Pro Tip:

Make your own custom class. Focus on endurance early (more HP), pick skills you won’t use often (to control leveling), and don’t neglect major skills like Restoration or Security—they’re a pain later if under-leveled.

Step 3: Grind with Purpose – Train Smart, Not Hard

Efficient leveling is the secret sauce of Oblivion Remastered greatness. No more random leveling—every stat point should be earned with intention.

The Golden Rule: +5 Attribute Gains

Use minor skills to hit 10 skill increases in one attribute per level. Want +5 Strength? Train Blade, Blunt, or Hand-to-Hand intentionally.

Power-Train Tips:

• Athletics: Rubber-band your W key and go make a sandwich.
• Restoration: Spam “Heal Minor Wounds” while walking.
• Armorer: Fix everything after every fight—yes, everything.

Step 4: Guild Up – Choose Power-Focused Factions

All roads in Oblivion lead to power, but some are more direct.

Must-Join Guilds:

• Mages Guild → Arcane University → Unlimited enchanting and spell-making. You basically become a wizard god.
• Thieves Guild → Fences, cash, and that Gray Cowl of Nocturnal (a get-out-of-jail-free mask).
• Dark Brotherhood → Skill boosts, poisoned apples, and the best armor set in the game: Shrouded Armor.
• Fighter’s Guild → Gold and gear, but more importantly: influence and backup.
• Each faction rewards you not just with gear, but with systems of power—teleportation, stealth dominance, unique spells, and political control.

Step 5: Craft Your Arsenal – Enchanting, Alchemy, and Daedric Boons

Once you gain access to the Arcane University, start crafting gear:

• Fortify Speed on Boots = Run like a god.
• Absorb Health on Strike = Vampire vibes, but without the sunburn.
• Chameleon 100% = Walk past guards like a ghost.

Alchemy:

• Combine Flame Stalks + Redwort Flowers for major health restoration.
• Use Stinkhorn Caps + Wisp Stalk Caps for poisons that melt enemies.

Daedric Quests:

Powerful items await. Start early with Azura (easy shrine to find) for Azura’s Star, aka the infinite soul gem.

Step 6: Become the Hero (or Tyrant) of Tamriel

You’ve got the power, the gear, and the skills—now make your mark.

The Big Quests:

• Main Quest: Close Oblivion gates. Become the Savior of Cyrodiil.
• Shivering Isles (if you have it): Madness incarnate. Control a god’s realm.
• Knights of the Nine: Paladin prestige and holy armor sets.

Choose your path—noble hero, chaotic assassin, archmage overlord, or uncatchable thief. Oblivion Remastered gives you the canvas. You bring the legend.

Final Words from the Imperial Librarian:
