Oblivion Remasteredbreathtakingly remakes the land of Cyrodiil, including all its gameplay intricacies.
It’s time to return to the prison where your adventure began.
Before venturing past the sewers of the Imperial City, your character will need to pick a class.
Custom classes are excluded from this list.
Don’t play a Healer.
20Rogue
The Rogue lacks a ranged Major Skill, preventing it from being a top-tier class.
If that playstyle interests you, a Scout is a better class option.
If you want to use Illusion and Blade together, play a Bard instead.
The Rogue’s defining features are done better with other pre-made classes.
19Battlemage
The Battlemage is an objectively worse Spellsword, both for melee combat and for casting spells.
The Agent is arguably a better choice if you want to play a dedicated stealth character.
It’s not the worst class in Oblivion, but it’s far from the best.
Considering your subpar damage output, this tradeoff isn’t worth it.
This wouldn’t be a negative if it wasn’t for your Major Skills.
You’ve got a bunch of stuff, but nowhere to put it?
Well, you’re in luck.
Almost all of your Major Skills focus on Agility, with your main damage skill requiring Strength.
Your only Endurance-related Major Skill is Block, and you have no ranged Major Skills.
It’s hard to justify playing an Acrobat when classes like Bard and Spellsword exist.
It also lacks a Major Skill in a ranged archetype like Marksman or Destruction.
If you want to weave spells or stealth in general gameplay, you’re better off with another class.
13Barbarian
Barbarians are meant to trade survivability for damage in most RPGs, Oblivion being no exception.
It’s not a bad class by any means.
There are just better alternatives.
12Scout
Scouts in Oblivion are speedy duelists that focus on movement more than tankiness or utility.
