After getting totally fed up with all the bugs introduced in the latest skyrim patch and a few issues with the unofficial ones on nexus, I decided to take a break from skyrim until they're all fixed.
Meanwhile, I've decided to revisit OBLIVION! I've merely started playing Oblivion 2 years ago when I got too eager and moved on to Skyrim, so oblivion is a fresh game to me.
Anyway, I need some advice on character building (skills etc) and Mods.
1. Character building:
I like to create my own unique character (roleplay), but don't want to end up restarting the game a thousand times like I did in skyrim because of bad skill or perk spreads. Any character build sites like "theskyrimblog.com" that can give me some good advice on a solid character build? Any useless skills I should avoid, etc?
My favourite build in skyrim was playing a combat archer with conjuration (for tanking); I also enjoyed playing as a sword and shield paladin (shield bash!). A pure mage in skyrim never attracted me, as I don't want to miss out on all the cool looking armor (and smithing!), but I always have spells to supplement my character. So, how does archery and conjuration fair in oblivion? Maybe a sword and shield paladin build would be the safer route for a first timer?
Mods: recommendations? Any essential ones like SkyUI of skyrim? I know the leveling system is a pain, so I'm going to download the mod that allows me to level like skyrim.
Also, I know graphics may be less appealing, but I'm not picky about that. However, if there is a well made graphical mod out there that actually makes a striking difference to the original game (without introducing a ton of annoying bugs in the process), then please let me know.
Cheers!
