Don't have the game yet, but I will get it but first I just want to know how good the game is, I know this is no doubt a stupid topic as im posting it in a oblivion fan forum, but without any bias what are the pros and cons of the game? and once you have your character developed, can you pick up armor etc? as I seen in one of the screenshots you can pick up ''Daedric'' armor which looks pretty bad boat, other question is how is it adapting to most of your systems, is the game running fine etc? Also will this game appeal to a fps player? I play fps games, and one RPG which is FFX.

Also is the strategy guide which you can buy really helpfull for starting off? I have never played any other elder scroll games, I was just told about this one, that it will be really good etc.

I dont always have access to the web, definately not while playing, so I bought the guide for the alchemy/equipment lists, as well as for quest tips, maps etc... I DID read the character creation but disagreed someone on it... I dont like having every skill I use all the time as a major skill... It means you level up VERY quickly and never get to max the x5 mutliplier... Also, some skills like Sneak, Athletics, Acrobatics and all magic skills can be leveled fr free at no danger to yourself... turn autrun on while swimming in imperial city or sneaking into a wall close to some guards... So setting skills like that as majors also seems unnecesary since you can pretty much level them "at will." I dont recommend the guide if you can just hop on the internet. There is a guide on IGN.com plus hundreds elsewhere by now I am sure. There is a great alchemy site where you can design any potion you want based on your skill, I THINK someone may have found the map I am looking for (like the TESMAP that was made for Morrowind, SO COOL!!!) So if you have the web, the guide is really a waste, since all of it is available on the internet... As for its ideas on characters, TES games are great because there is no "right way" to make a character. In fact, in Oblivion, if you are an FPS skill type player, you can beat things with lower skills just by being more skillful as a player. My blade was level 5 at level 4 on one of my "test" chars, and I was still able to destoy 1-2 enemies with only losing maybe 1/4 health. Just have to use your surroundings, MOVE when its coming at you, utilize all your skills...

There is no "most powerful" char. At varying stages, all characters will be powerful, and at some point, all you skills will be maxed and all your attributes will be maxed, and then what?? Really, Breton Apprentice or High Elf Mage-sign would be best becuase with all skills maxed, only difference between races if Magicka....

Thats my opinion, though I will admit that at lower levels "Jack of all Trades" types are harder... just gotta use all your resources, swipe a few times, block a few, dodge a few, cast a few spells, drink a couple potions, poison the old weapon, get the long range sneak arrow in, power attack them off a cliff!! He he...

Just my rant on this I guess... definately get the game you will have fun, because no matter HOW you like to play, YOU CAN DO IT!!
