Tips for leveling up quickly in Oblivion Remastered

Everything about the original version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remains the same functionally, and this includes the fastest way to level up. Power leveling has an obvious upside, in that your overall attribute stats are significantly better in the early game.

The fastest method is to select Athletics as one of your major skills and just keep running everywhere. If you find a pool and swim in one direction for an entire night, you should level it up very quickly. Jumping on the spot with Acrobatics as a major skill also helps, as each leap gets you closer to leveling up.

There is a downside to this, however. Just because your level is decent, your skills are wildly out of proportion. So while your Athletics and Acrobatics may be well over par, you still hit like a wet noodle if you try to swing a weapon against a much higher-leveled enemy. It’s better to try to evenly distribute your skills so that you can master magic or become more proficient with weapons and armor.
