The best Oblivion Remastered builds: races, birthsign, and classes

As in any RPG, creating a character is not a decision to be taken lightly. With so many configuration options, you want to have something that makes good use of the systems, adapts to your play style, or, if it’s the 5th time you’re playing, starts creating characters more for fun than to take the story seriously. With The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, the situation couldn’t be further from this, with a large amount of options that not only see race, but also class and birth sign.

With 10 races (each with two origins), 21 classes, and 13 birthsigns, choosing a name isn’t the only complicated task you’ll face when creating your character. To help you create a character that takes advantage of the best combinations, we give you a number of options to have a well-rounded character if you are a first-time player in Cydorill.
