To figure out why this happens we have to analyze how the leveling system works. The game’s enemies and treasures level up as your character does, which sounds like a great idea in theory but it’s entirely possible to screw up your character to the point where you are ‘behind the curve’ of the game and the enemies all own you. If you’ve played Oblivion before you know what I’m talking about.

I really like this game but hate its broken-ass leveling system.

In preparation for Skyrim, I’m doing a new playthrough of Oblivion.
