Comprehensive Guide to All Attributes in Oblivion Remastered

In the expansive universe of Oblivion: Remastered, attributes like Willpower and Luck can initially perplex players due to the sheer amount of information. Attributes serve as the foundational stats in the game, influencing critical aspects such as a character’s Health, damage output, and conversational abilities. You can view these statistics within the second tab of the Character menu, which provides clarity amid the complexity.

Pay attention to attribute values that appear in green or red, as these indicate temporary buffs or debuffs affecting your character.

Understanding All Attributes in Oblivion Remastered

Oblivion: Remastered features a total of eight attributes, which generally range from 0 to 100. However, certain effects allow these values to exceed 100 temporarily. The attributes are shaped by various factors, including Race, Birthsigns, and Class. When players level up, they have the opportunity to allocate 12 attribute points as they choose.

It is worth noting that attributes no longer influence three skills directly as they did in the original game; nevertheless, attributes still subtly affect skills indirectly.

Strength

Increases: Encumbrance and slightly boosts maximum Health.
Damage Boost: Enhances damage dealt with heavy weapons and unarmed strikes.

The primary advantage of Strength lies in its enhancement of melee damage. It applies to various weapons such as Longswords, Claymores, Maces, War-Axes, Warhammers, as well as unarmed attacks. Additionally, a higher Strength facilitates carrying more items and grants a slight increase in Health Points (HP), boosting a character’s survivability.

Intelligence

Increases: Maximum Magicka.

Greater Intelligence translates to a higher pool of Magicka, enabling players to cast more spells and utilize more formidable spells that require substantial Magicka expenditure.

Willpower

Increases: Magicka regeneration and significantly raises maximum Fatigue.

Increased Willpower enhances Magicka regeneration, allowing spellcasters to maintain effectiveness in prolonged battles. Furthermore, a substantial boost in Fatigue allows for more physical activity before exhaustion sets in.

Agility

Increases: Fatigue regeneration and slightly raises maximum Fatigue.
Damage Boost: Enhances damage with light melee weapons and bows.

Agility is vital for players seeking to avoid depleting Fatigue during combat, evasive maneuvers, or sprinting. It also significantly influences the effectiveness of characters wielding light melee weapons and bows, as it directly determines their damage output.

Speed

Increases: Overall movement speed.

Boosting Speed allows players to walk, run, and sprint faster. Additionally, a heightened Speed stat grants improved swimming speed, enhancing overall mobility in various environments.

Endurance

Increases: Significantly raises maximum Health and governs Health regeneration rates.

Essential for surviving encounters, Endurance directly impacts how health increases upon leveling up, further fortifying a character’s resilience in battle.

Personality

Increases: Influences likability among NPCs.

A character’s Personality is crucial for enhancing conversational engagements. Higher scores increase the likelihood of receiving favorable responses, leading to better deals and the acquisition of important information.

Luck

Luck underpins all your Skills, either boosting or hindering them. When Luck is above 50, events tend to favor the player, while scores below 50 may result in unfavorable circumstances.

Exploring All Vitals in Oblivion Remastered

Vitals in Oblivion: Remastered are straightforward statistics with defined maximum levels and regeneration rates, influenced by Attributes and various passive effects such as Birthsigns.

Health

Health, depicted by a red bar, can be enhanced and recovers over time or through the use of healing spells and potions.

Affected By: Endurance & Strength.

Magicka

Magicka, represented by a blue bar, functions as the mana reserve for spellcasting and regenerates naturally. Note that powerful spells require significant amounts of Magicka.
