Oblivion is confusing me..

I got Oblivion about 4 days ago. And I'm bored with it. Cause I'm lvl 1. And I don't know how to lvl up. And I'm lost. And I have no clue where to go for the main story. Plus, I got the Game of the Years edition. How do I find the places I added on to it? It's confusing..

How do I level up? I keep gaining levels..but not the ..big..main level....It keeps saying 1.

Where do I go for the main story? I got out of the sewers...and I'm exploring..And I just find towns and nothing interesting.

Oh, and where can I find the add on places? :x

Help? :x

Calm down dear...etc...

Basically oblivion uses a retarded levelling up system wherby it encourages players to abuse it. You will notice you have several "Major" skills and severa l"Minor" skills (you can find this in your journal) your major skills start at level 25, whereas your minor skills at level 1. Each action you do (such as jumping, melee with swords, magic etc) increases the corresponding skill. As the skill increases, your proficiency in it also increases, and you unlock a bonus ability every 25 levels.

So lets say I want to level up conjuration, every time I conjure a creature, it goes towards me levelling up in that skill, which in turn improves my conjuring ability.

Improving your major skills will allow you to level up when you sleep, improving your minor skills will not. Levelling up brings tougher enemies, better loot, more health and a couple of other bonuses.

The game takes off in a little while, after you get the hang of the inventory, and get some quests done. Like all RPG's, give it time and you will have a lot of fun with oblivion once you learn the nuances.

You paid for the shivering isles expansion. I reccomend you wait a bit beforegoing there, explore cyrodil first.

You go to sleep to level up.

You go to the journal and press R Trigger until you come to the quest page and you can PICK which questline you want to do which includes the main one, the guilds and the add-ons. Then you look at your compass in the HUD and follow the green/red arrow on it until you find what you want.

You increase you major skills. 10 levels of any major skill and sleep in a bed of any kind. and BAM! level up! 8)

you should have gotten Fallout 3. But thats just my opinion ofcourse.carlBS

Oblivion is just as good..

but bro, you just have to get used to everything, it kinda takes a while to know about all the mechanics in the game. Dont give up now, because you will be missing out on a great gaming experience. Google Oblivion walkthrough, and you should find some helpful guides to get you through the game.
