Personally, I'm a lvl 24 assassin with 100 in only two skills, Acrobatics and sneak. (Both majors, IIRC) I'm using the increased bow damage mod, deadlier sneaking mod, and Oscuro's oblivion overhaul. I've not even done the first main quest yet. Oscuro's is cool, because it essentially "fixes" the level scaling and makes the really great items super rare, which is, in my opinion, the way it should be. In my 24 levels, I've found precisely ONE piece of mithril armor. My only other piece of good armor was obtained from a daedric shrine quest. I carry an elven shortsword (Unenchanted) and a dwarven bow (Unenchanted) the rest of my gear is vanilla chainmail. I think it adds a special element of HOLYSHITMITHRIL! and takes away the element of "Yay. More mithril."

I think it would be a good idea if the TES system would change to a system used by Ultima Online or the Jagged Alliance series.

I don't see how the fact that you can abuse a system makes it suck.
I don't know how to abuse the system used in BG2 or Planescape Torment, however I know how to get 100 wisdom for a Jagged Alliance 2 character with ease, nevertheless the AD&D system sucks much more than the Jagged Alliance 2 system.

There are always ways to make yourself a god in a game, however in Morrowind you turn into a god automatically during the game if you play as melee character which does not use hand to hand.

It becomes a problem when you have to abuse the system. Make a character with skills thats grow fast and you'll be to weak compared to your opponents. This could easily happen with a ranger type character.

I have to ask in a week or so will have the money to buy one game, my options are Eldar Scrolls 4 or Guild Wars:Factions. What should my choice be, pre-order Factions so I get it on the say of release or ES:4? I already have GW original, and have fallen in love with it, but I was also a huge fan of Morrowind....

Arrggh I really can't make up my mind, so did anyone who has Oblivion also take part in the Factions event, who can tell me which they prefered.
