Behold, our unofficial strategy guide to overwhelmingly gigantic The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. Here you will find everything you need to know about the game and was afraid to ask anywhere else.

First, some technical stuff. As you may know from other texts about Oblivion, the game’s world reacts to the player’s progress and evolves with him. That means that you can actually beat the main quest without even bothering to do anything except it, ‘cause if you don’t level up your character, you’ll be fighting some basic enemies over and over again to the very end. That leads to the fact that we can’t actually point out how many or what type of enemies you will be facing in certain situations. These factors depend on your character’s level. If you don’t want to “loose” time on leveling up, go ahead and endlessly fight Scamps and basic Dremora soldiers.

We didn’t cover the things that are pretty obvious in our guide. There’s no point in telling you exactly what to do in each dungeon, so we stick to the essentials. Hey, you’re a gamer, you shouldn’t feel like a fish out of water when you’re deep underground surrounded by skeletons, now should you?

There are a lot of bugs in this game. Bugs that keep you from completing certain quests, make objects disappear or NPCs talk rubbish. Save often, that’s the best advice we can give you. Every quest is beatable under certain circumstances and bugs seem to appear randomly, so you might not have a problem at all when you beat them the second time round.

The guide’s author after dozens of hours of work.

	i wanted to say thx to u'all for putting this guide together, it helped me in many different ways. i had another previous save on a different hard drive, that now i feel i can just toss. at about 250 hours of game time i found this guide and it helped immensely. things i forgot, things i did wrong, things i was "oblivious to", lol, it saved me a lot of knuckle dragging. if u don't see me again for a few years it means i got skyrim.	slew 21/03/2012 10:16

	They aren't going to make a guide unless they have completely beaten the game. That means every aspect. Thieves Guild, Dark brotherhood, Winterhold college, Stormcloak quest line, Imperial questline, misc. missions, etc It'll take a while	cuban plantain 03/12/2011 00:37

	Hello I'm drew and need help regarding the ayleid ruin named Malada. To proceed I need some kind of key but don't know where to find it. I obtained the mapmarker for this ayleid ruin from a book I read not bought in the bookstore in the imperial city called the first edition. When I get to malada each time I proceed to kill the monsters inside and move on to the gate in which I need the key for. It is in a strange shape as I will now explain: it has an indentation that then has a plus sign I can see through to the next room. If you could help me regarding this matter I would be grateful.
