I am perfectly aware that Shouts and all that lore wasn't even a concept in Oblivion - yet I still can't help but wonder about the implications the Future games make and just wondering what they could mean if applied.

In a hypothetical time line where Martin was sent to Skyrim instead, and learned of the Voice - as a true heir of the Septim bloodline, how strong could he have gotten with the proper time and training to master The Thu'um?

Planning on replaying Oblivion for the first time in years - Xbox 360 Version, All DLC.

I wanna ask for any advice and such from any long time fans for getting back into the game because it's still certainly a different beast from the newer games.

I already know things like the Leveling system being very weird to try and level optimally with making your major skills ones you hardly ever use for your build and so on.

Can I get any advice on more esoteric systems of the game like Lockpicking and Enchanting?

I don't wanna play on Easy the whole game, and wanna actually give myself a decent challenge - any pointers on how to survive on Hard in higher levels?

For those wondering; I'm planning on playing either a Bosmer or Altmer in Light armor with shields and Blunt weapons, possibly with utility spells

Any advice is appreciated.
