Choosing the Best Class in Oblivion Remastered: A Comprehensive Guide
When embarking on your journey in Oblivion Remastered, selecting the right Class for your playstyle is crucial. With 21 Classes to choose from, plus the option to create a custom Class, deciding on the best fit can be overwhelming. According to Eurogamer, creating a custom Class is the best way to go, as it allows you to fine-tune your Skills and Attributes to suit your exact playstyle.
Eurogamer notes that the game’s 21 Classes offer a range of playstyles, but may not perfectly align with your desired approach. For example, if you enjoy playing with a sword and shield, but also like to use Destruction and Restoration magic, a custom Class can help you achieve this. As Eurogamer states, "Making a custom Class solves this problem by letting you select your own seven Skills, along with your chosen combat specialization and favored Attributes."
If you prefer to stick with one of the 21 set Classes, Eurogamer recommends molding your playstyle to match the Class description. For instance, if you choose the Warrior Class, it’s best to focus on melee combat rather than spellcasting. Eurogamer also suggests considering the Class recommended by Baurus, which is tailored to your playstyle up to that point.
One of the most popular builds in the Elder Scrolls series is the stealth archer, and Eurogamer agrees that this is a great option. To create a stealth archer, choose a Class with Marksman and Sneak Skills, or create a custom Class with these Skills. Pairing your Class with The Thief Birthsign is also a good idea.
