Listen, Oblivion is one of the best games ever made. I know everyone hates it, but honestly when I played it as a kid I never noticed the borked leveling. Just get mods my friend. One should never play an elder scrolls game without them. The Vanilla oblivion experience is pretty shit I recommend oscuros oblivion overhaul. Oblivion has the best side quests of any elder scrolls game IMO but mechanically it needs a lot of work. Oh and play Morrowind. Seriously go and play Morrowind right now if you haven’t already. Also fuck bethesda for life. All my homies hate bethesda.
