The way RPG should be.

Have you ever wondered how logical it is that you can use strength based physical attacks to kill enough creatures to earn enough points to gain a level and then take your skill points earned from increasing that level and putting them towards increasing your magical abilities when you didn't use magic even once to level up? Well the folks who created oblivion did. Now this is my first elder scrolls game so its more than likely morrowind and the previous elder scrolls games were the same way. If you want your magic to get better, use it! GENIUS!! Goodbye exp points, hello skill specific experience. It is the ideal way to level up. There is some simple math behind leveling and how much you can increase your base skills in one level. And it doesn't take long to figure out. When you have the math mastered you will be able to build a character that becomes dominant in the game. The monsters are set to level with you, but they level at a pre-determined rate. You however can gain 3-15 base points per level. If you are leveling with 15 base points each level, you will increase in power faster than your enemies. One thing that ruined the game for me. Chameleon ability on items. When your chameleon is 100% you are invisible. No one can see you and it makes all the tasks in the game effortless. An effortless game is a boring game. I love the invisibility spell because it only last for an amount of time. But with Chameleon on your equipped items you can be invisible all the time. Super Lame. I worked so hard to find enough Chameleon items to become invisible and when i did, i played for a couple more hours, got bored and haven't played since. Although i did just build another computer, one that can handle Oblivion at its highest level so i may just start another character and forget about the Chameleon. All in all this is a game you should not just play but a game you should own and devote a couple hundred hours of your life to.
