This game has sereously been eating up my free time and I predict it will do so for at least a couple of weeks more.
awesome game.
So far I've made a Breton pure mage with the mage birthsign as my first character. I joined the mages guild and am now at the rank of warlock in the arcane university. Mages really pwn this time, alot more than in morrowind. So far I am level 13 and have about 90 int and 90 willpower. The fast mana regen caused by high willpower and sticking with spells that go with your level means I rarely run out of mana. If I do I just take a restore magicka potion, which are very easy to get in oblivion either by making them with alchemy or buying them in shops.
Second and third char I made just to try out the combat and sneaking part.
redgaurd, warrior birthsign
favored combat
agility + endurance
block, blade, heavy armor, armorer, athletics, marksman, restoration.
I really like the melee combat this time, with blocking and timing counter attacks. I took restoration so I can heal myself or fortify attributes when I run out of potions. I dont have alot of mana but that doesnt matter since restoration is the only spells I have and most dont take alot of casting.
Dark elf, the thief birthsign
favored stealth
agility + speed
marksman, blade, sneak, security, athletics, illusion, light armor.
I never really liked the sneaky characters but I do enjoy this one. basic stealth skills + illusion because that really adds to the stealth part, with spells like chameleon, invisibility etc.
Only played the second and third for a couple of hours, but I beat the arena with the warrior and started in the fighters guild. And with the dark elf I just got accepted into the dark brotherhood.
So far I havent touched the main quest yet, but I'll probably start that with my mage soon.
