Oblivion questions (help me please)

Alright, first of all, Oblivion is not a fast leveling game. You won't be level 20 anytime soon, so I'd say slow down and try to enjoy it. Regardless of that, you only level when you continue to improve major skills. And then, you have to level any major skill ten times to be told to sleep.

About vampirism, I here that your stronger and such on... Don't know much, 'cept that you need to drink blood rather constantly to keep you character safe to come out in the sun. And yes, like the old vampire stories... You can get killed by sunlight, unless you keep you blood thirst low... By.... Drinking blood. Hoorah!

make sure the attributes you are leveling up are your main ones.  you meed to level them up at least 10 times to raise your whole level.  and when i say ten times it can be any combo of your main attributes.  like you can level one 5 times and 5 others once or whatever.

if your a warrior casting heal all the time it wont ever raise your level (unless Restoration is a main skill).

and about being a vampire. dunno.  there is so much to do in this game i'm doing multi play through's and have yet to let myself become a vampire.  i hear that if you work it right you can use it to have higher then 100 in some of uor stats.  like strength or endurance.

good luck, great game.

I'm 50 hours in and only level 7, so yeah that sounds ok. I'm been playing it quite leisurely.

Theres a Faq here that you can get that explains vampirism. It seems to make the game a bit harder because many people won't talk to you, which means there are quests you won't get to play. You also can't move anround much in the daylight, and fast traveling is dangerous. On the plus side there are many new powers and abilities that come the longer you go without feeding, but unless you plan on using them to their full potential I wouldn't bother doing it. There is a cure but it is kind of a pain. Remember also, if you plan on becoming a vampire. then cure yourself, you won't get the chance again. So it's either all out or nothing IMO.

i hated being a vampire. it was a real pain trying to feed. the difference in power is not worth the blood hunting. there is a cure though so mabey you should try it out, who know you might injoy being a vampire.

as for leveling up, the fastest way it to get people to train your major combat skills and work on things like illusion and speechcraft which are fairly easy to level up. i got to like level 34 after like 150 hours.

hmm.. im not sure if i want to become a vampire or not, although it sounds funkyle-244

As far as leveling, just keep doing what you're doing.  If you want to level up fast, start doing the stuff that your class is based on, use those major skills.  Also, try not to commit genocide in any of the towns.  I got frustrated with the guard in Bravil and now everyone there, including the royalty, is dead.  It's a lonely place to visit now.

You can't marry anyone, and for becomining a vampire it's really annoying feeding and not being able to get out in sunlight if you don't feed.

Yea, also if you don't feed for a while the people recognize that your a vampire and like you less.

i have played 12 hours and im lvl 7.......have a friend who has played for 40 hrs..and he is lvl 18-22 ( dont remember exactly but..is around there ).....

Vampirism.....right now im gathering all the items to stop becoming one....PROS...improves alot of things...endurance..willpower..resist...etc etc......CONS..most time you have to travel by night, unless you are sucking blood everytime.....sun can kill you very fast in advanced lvls of a vampire...if you havent feeded with blood..some people will not talk to you.......

i prefer NOT being one....

I am currently playing through Oblivion on the 360 and have encountered a wierd glitch. I am an Emperial, very early on in the game my character contracted the 'brown rot' disease. At that time I didn't know how to cure diseases so I really didn't bother, after having the disease for a while, my whole characters body turned brown and rotten. Eventually I cured the disease, now my characters body is still brown and rotten with a white face, looks kinda dumb, no amount of curing will fix the problem of my character looking stupid. Just wondering if anybody knows if this is supposed to happen or it's a glitch? Any idea's would be appreciated.
