How To Rock The Shivering Isles
Meanwhile, over at Gamerscore Blog, Cesar has provided some readers with a few tips regarding how to rock both Oblivion and its expansion The Shivering Isles in a way so hardcore that it's probably illegal for minors to view. While some of his tips are only applicable for people who went and purchased The Shivering Isles, or are further into the quests (like conquering the Thieves Guild quests in order to get the Grey Fox mask), some of them are fantastic for new players:
How to win every fight in Oblivion:* Have a staff, a healing spell, and lots of running room.
* Use your staff to keep enemies at a distance
* If they get too close, jump to get away.
* Run in a circle casting your healing spell until you run out of magicka.
* Run in a circle until your magicka is back.
* Repeat.
Sure, you could do that... or you could do what I do: equip yourself with armor that has Chameleon cast on each piece, sneak around, and beat the living snot out of anything in your way from behind. More often than not, your opponents won't be able to stand up in order to trade blows.

I do what you do, too, Boy.
Mage's guild ftw.
I'm all for option #1: use the lightest stuff and then run, girl, run.
A friend just picked this up for the PS3 -- a surprise cause he's not an RPG fan. But he is definitely enjoying option #2: find the biggest warhammer possible and smack people across the room.
I gotta admit, the sound made on contact is pretty satisfying. I may have to rethink my strategy.
I hate this [censored] game with a passion. I say this after having played 70 hours of it.
