If this has already been up here before, oh well i cant find it so i'm asking

Anyone know the level cap for Oblivion? i mean i know the level cap for Morrowind was 200, but damned near impossable to reach that, i'm only lvl 73 in Morrowind, and all my major and minor skills are at 100, and i don't know how to go beyond that lol .

Anyone know?

Actually, the level cap for Morrowind was 65535. If they keep it the same in Oblivion I don't see any reason to complain

holy jesus how do you gain all those levels?

Master Trainers. You keep training your Maj and Min skills even when 100 and it still contributes to your leveling up... it's just quite expensive.
I got to level 87 lol

Are you sure about that number Alexandre?

If it becomes impossible for you to raise your level after all of your major skills are at max, than the top level is 60. I know that because all of your major skills will start at 15 and you need to raise your major skills by ten points to level up.

you can always go to jail and then they lower all your skills and you can then train them again....

As your skills go down so should your level. I hope they implement that feature so that it does not get exploited.

Well I am assuming he did so with the console.



Don't know where you got those numbers from but minor skills start at 15 and major somewhere around 30 and I know from experiance that you can get above 60 without going to prison even with the race bonuses and speciality bonus.



I don't, I think there needs to be some way to exploit it to get super high level characters if you are willing to work hard for it, and you do indeed need to work hard for it because often the skills which are hardest to train go down and then you need to go find/make a trainer or train it yourself which is all in all very long just for one extra level.

Oblivion doesn't let you have minor skills it only lets you have major skills and miscellaneous skills (with major skills being the only category of skills that contributes to your overall level) there are only 7 major skills.

Major skills start at a set level which depends upon the bonuses that your constellation gives you & also depends upon the bonuses of the race that you choose to become. i think that the lowest a major skill can be when you start out is ten, so i think that the maximum level would be 63 (if you chose a constellation and race that didn't give bonuses to any of your major skills and all your major skills started at ten). but if Oblivion starts your skills out at 0 the max level would be 70.

Conclusion: it just depends upon which race and constellation you choose. the level cap can vary from 50-63

Actually, I don't think you can say any level amount at all just yet. Now that I am thinking about it, does anyone really know how many skill increases you need to attain a new level in Oblivion? I would be slightly surprised if it is still ten b/c they said they made it a LOT harder to raise you skills now. The reason provided for this was that they wanted them to have more significance b/c of the new skill perks for adv./master/expert levels. The way is was put was like this.... "By the time you reach the end of the main quest you ... have one or two skills at (max, aka 100)" -recent interview with a video of screenshots from the game. Not sure who the speaker was, but it was definitly a dev. So...yea..... SO exact level and skill speculations are slightly less meaningful than they were before, maybe.

I think I heard in an interview it's still 10 major skills increased to level.
They do keep assuring us it's the same basic system as Morrowind so I'm pretty certain.

Also, I believe Skill Perks are at level 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100. So if it's in your Majors, you're bound to start with one perk, which would make sense since you're generally more skilled in techniques than someone who has never even used it.

Yea I JUST saw that in the last day or so and now I see why they can say ten, lol.

I agree with your perks, I think I read the same info in some dev quote somewhere, but it has been a few weeks since I read the dev quotes and my mind is not really great right now b/c I am starting finals week soon and am preping for it.

I think that is almost right, except I heard that the skill perks are at levels 25, 50, 75, and 100. This makes sence because if each skill perk is different for every certain level that gets you a bonus for every different skill, they would have to make a bunch of special perks.

Novice - 0
Apprentice - 25
Journeyman - 50
Master - 75
Grandmaster - 100

Makes sense...

novice- 0-20

apprentice- 20-40

Journeyman-40-60

Expert (instead of master)- 60-80

Master (instead of grandmaster)- 80-100

would also make since and that is what I think it is...although I don't intend to bicker about it.
