There are tons of different combat options to try out, and plenty of other ways to round out your character. This allows players to engage in the combat and skills they find interesting, without sacrificing their overall progression. For example, jumping a lot will level up your agility skill, and dealing damage with a sword will level up your one or two-handed skill. You have various skills and talents that upgrade as you use them, making your character more powerful in various ways. Like the other games in the Elder Scrolls franchise, Oblivion can be played from a first or third person point of view. Oblivion is both familiar and unique in its gameplay, offering a fun fusion of traditional RPG tropes with modern gameplay.
