Oblivionplayers online are debating the best alternative to simply playing a stealth archer build in subsequent playthroughs. For manyOblivionplayers, it’s all too easy to fall into a stealth archer build on a new playthrough, as it rapidly becomes overpowered, although some are now consciously seeking out different ways to play.
The recently releasedOblivion Remasteredhas revitalized interest in the 2006 original, with some gamers even heading back to try out the game for the first time.Oblivion Remastereddefinitely makes some good improvementsto the original game, although it’s easily possible to play the 2006 title and still have a blast. After all,Oblivion Remastereddoes keep some of the clunkier elements that help giveOblivionits charm, so the original won’t feel like too much of a step back (besides the vastly improved visuals).
As spotted byTheGamer, a Redditor named g0_west has sparked discussion about alternatives to astealth archer build inOblivion. This build encourages players to sneak around in the shadows, dealing heavy damage from a distance using stealth multipliers while avoiding close-quarters combat altogether. This becomes comically overpowered in mostElder Scrollsgames, so for many, it’s the default when starting a new playthrough. User g0_west was returning for theirOblivionfirst playthrough in a decade, and sought the help of the game’s Reddit community for alternatives as they “really want to avoid slipping into stealth archering again.”
Oblivion Players Are Looking to Avoid Playing a Stealth Archer Build in Every Playthrough
Many users pointed out that anOblivionBattlemageis the way to go for another build that feels overpowered, while others had more creative solutions, including one comment describing the “stealth smash,” a build that involves a “club from hackdirt enchanted with frenzy lvl25 for 45 secs, with umbra and azuras star for refilling,” resulting in situations where players can “watch the enemies tear each other apart.” It sounds like an awful lot of fun, as does the Magic Glass Cannon build proposed by another user. This build lets players “grow your destructive powers to annihilate your foes in a single clap,” so there are plenty of ideas forOblivionplayers looking to avoid that stealth archer trap.
Oblivion Remasteredwas a good way to bring theElder Scrollsseries back into the public eye, but the wait goes on for any news aboutThe Elder Scrolls 6. The long-awaited sequel was first announced seven years ago, but concrete news about the title has been hard to come by. Almost a year ago, aBethesda developer accidentally hinted atThe Elder Scrolls 6’s setting, although this is the closest that fans have come to receiving any news about the game in a while. Hopefully, the wait isn’t too much longer, given the fact that it has been nearly 14 years sinceSkyrimwas released.
