Oblivion Difficulty Slider and Leveling

Hi there,

Just a quick question. Does the difficulty slider in Oblivion have any effect on the rate at which you level yur character i.e. if i choose an easier difficulty will i not get as much exp during gameplay?

Thanks,

Carey

It does depending on your play style. For a 'tank' class for example, you'll do a lot more damage, meaning that you'll hit enemies less and you won't get as much experience going into that weappon's stat.

Better choose the easy mode first, if you chose hard or even normal you will die so quick that you might not enjoyning the game.... that's just my opinion.

Thanks for your replies.

So if i have this straight: the higher the difficlty setting the more xp i gain in defeating enemies therefore the quicker i level up. However, since allNPCs level the same rate that i do, does it really matter how quickly or slowly i increase in level?

Carey

The leveling in vanilla Oblivion is notoriously poor. At the very least, I'd highly recommend installing: Obscuro's Oblivion Overhaul.

Good on you. :) I agree that's the best way play games. I played Oblivion without mods and finished the game...it's possible to finish the game on the first level, by the way. If you finish it, try it again with mods. It's a completely different and better experience.
