Best race in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered
Wondering what the best race is in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered? As one might expect from a game originally from 2006, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered features some old school character creation bioessentialism, with the different races on display offering up different strengths and weaknesses. While these factors will lessen as you level up your character, they’re very noticeable at the start of the game, making your choice of race a vital decision in determining your early build.
If you’ve explored Tamriel in any other Elder Scrolls game, Oblivion’s starting races will feel familiar, from the bog-standard Orcs to your Khajiit catfolk. Their starting stats will require some tinkering to fully understand, however. This guide will present what we think is the best race for new Oblivion players, and we’ll also break down each of the races in terms of difficulty and what they can offer for a particular character build. Finally, at the end of this guide, we’ve highlighted different attributes that the sexes of the various races have.
