These quests have the best rewards in Oblivion.

But not only does this impact lore, it impacts your character’s starting stats.

So, which Origin is going to help you with your build the most?

The starting prison cell from the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.

This is the question we’ll be answering in this guide to Origins.

Argonians: Arnesia Or Thornmarsh?

Breton: Systres or Highrock?

The portal to Shivering Isles in Oblivion Remastered.

You might be thinking that Strength isn’t a valuable stat for a spellcaster and is fair to dump.

Dark Elf: Vvardenfel Or Mainland?

Vvardenfell

Mainland

The question here is whether to get a debuff in Personality or Endurance.

Neither stat is going to make or break a Spellsword build, so these choices aren’t significantly different.

High Elf: Auridon Or Summerset Isles?

This time, the two attributes on the chopping block are Endurance and Speed.

Imperial: Nibenay Or Colovia?

Khajiit: Anequina Or Pellitine?

The Khajiit of Elsyweyr remainthe best possible race for dedicated stealth builds.

Nord: Western Or Eastern?

Fans looking for a throwback to 2011 may be inclined to choose the Nord race this time around.

Orc: Stronghold Or Orsinium?

So, how does the background of your Orc impact their playability?

Redguard: Dragontail Mountains Or Alik’r Desert?

Neighbors to the Orcs and the Bretons, the Redguard hail from the region of Hammerfell.

Unique from other melee builds,the Redguard is talented at most combat skills.

The trade-off is a lowered Personality, which doesn’t benefit the Redguard much to begin with anyway.

Wood Elf: Grahtwood Or Reaper’s March?

Neither skill is particularly crucial for the Wood Elf, so it could go either way.
